Sure, you can pick apart a coney dog and choose your favorite places for chili, dog, bun, etc. but Bob E's Super Chief is the superior coney overall and is by far my favorite coney restaurant in all of Detroit. The place is small and unpretentious; it is tidy and clean. Memorabilia from years gone by decorate the walls, it gives the place a homey feel to see such personal affects. It can get a little crowded at lunch as a line forms at the counter for carry outs, but the staff keeps things moving in their usual friendly and attentive style. Yes there are burgers and other items on the menu which I have tried over the years and find to be good, but the draw for me is the coneys. My usual order is foot longs, onion rings with some famous Miami sauce, and a cherry coke. I always see some nice looking desserts in the case on the counter but after 2 or 3 foot longs I so far have passed on pie, one of the few rare cases in which I do. Served simply in a hot dog tray, it is a quintessential coney experience. I do admit that I usually ask for a fork and knife. The buns are toasted that much is obvious. What other kitchen wizardry are they conjuring up over there with the dogs? You can easily see all the action in the kitchen from the counter or booths. The prices are more then reasonable, and I consider them cheap. I look for an excuse to hit this side town just to stop in at Bob E's, and take my son when I can so he can grow up knowing the best coneys I have ever experienced.

It is hard to say if this establishment should get 3 or 4 stars - according to my husband (who ate the chili and the hot dog) there is no reason to drive past a Kerby's to get to Super Chief. I thought it was better than 3 stars, but I had a salad and fries... so 3 stars it is. Like others mentioned the bun is toasted. My husband says the chili was tasteless. So meh-chili on a hotdog with a toasted bun he says is 3 stars. The chili cheese fries had shredded cheese on it that wasn't totally melted... Service was super fast and friendly, the restaurant has 4 stools and 5 booths with a tremendous carryout business, so don't be surprised if you have to wait a moment.

Yes, this is a little, quirky place. There are pictures of Indians on the walls and one wall has a Marilyn Monroe picture! We always have the foot long coney. It's served on a grilled hot dog bun with chili sauce, mustard and onion. The chili is thicker than Detroit style coneys, so you can eat it with your hands. Very yummy. There are homemade desserts as well. The coconut cake is wonderful. The one complaint is the food is served on Styrofoam plates.

This is the penultimate blue collar, auto plant worker's lunch spot. There are many coney island joints in southeast Michigan. At Bob E's Super Chief, you can try the best Coney Dog made in Metro Detroit. The hotdogs come with very good chilli, mustard, and onions - that's all standard fare (though their chilli is better than many). The big difference with Bob E's conies is that the outside of the bun is toasted to a golden, crunchy, mouth-watering taste. 4-5 person operation, this small business has lots of homey charm and a delightful staff that make anyone feel welcome and cared for while sitting on a stool at the counter or at a booth ... or outside on the patio. When in and around the middle of Oakland County, you MUST try out a coney dog from Bob E's Super Chief! I do so every time I come to town.

Best coney dog ever! Don't mess with anything else on the menu... Toasted buns, great chili! Just delicious!! Check their hours though, not always open.

I just had a hankerin' for a coney today and a yelp search led me to Bob E's big chief and I am so glad it did The joint reminded me of the kind of places I remember as a kid. Just packed with charm. It's tiny! I went at 1030 AM on a Thursday and had the place all to myself. I parked at the tiny counter. Greeted by two very nice ladies. I had a big chief with everything ( chili, mustard and onions) I really never order a coney with the onions because I just don't like raw onions, but I wanted to try this one with everything. I will simply say that this was the best coney. the best hot dog experience of my life. The grilled buttery, crunchy perfect bun was so good I almost cried. The chili was mellow, flavorful. The mustard was very subtle, I almost didn't notice it and the onions were soft and very very mellow. I scarfed the whole foot long thing in no time flat. And hours later I did not have the slightest regret for ordering a coney. My only regret was that I didn't have another one in front of me!! The fries were also fantastic. Cooked perfectly. Really nice potato flavor, and a nice mixture of smaller sized crispy fries and larger soggy fries. Hot and perfect I've had Lafayette, Had American ( even had one of each on the same night to see which one I liked better) had Lipumas, National, Kerby's Leos etc etc etc. I suppose Lipuma is the best of the rest, but not on the same planet as this deal I had today This is by far and away the best hotdog/coney I've had in Detroit. Hell, anywhere!! I can't wait to have another UPDATE 4 more visits since this review. Consistently awesome. This place as good as they get The onion rings are even better than the dogs! also get a dessert. home made and off the charts

Love the 6 packs but they went way up in price. Still great food cannot recreate that toasted bun at home! Laid back and always packed people know where the good food is at!

Best coneys in michigan by far, toasted buns. Small place but worth it. Staff is always very friendly.

First impressions are lasting. Unfortunately, my first impression here was not a favorable one. When I arrived, I noticed the restaurant is rather small, maybe 7 tables and a counter top with chairs. I stood at the counter for awhile waiting to be services. I was the only one at the counter at first, as the waitress passed me twice without any acknowledgment. Two additional patrons walk in and the waitress totally ignores me and immediately asks them if she could help them. (I guess I didn't realize I was invisible) So, I kindly said to her, I've been waiting for awhile and was here before them, i would like to place order. She ignored me. She continued to wait on the other patrons to my complete and udder chagrin. Her excuse for not waiting on me initially was quite disingenuousness. In a nutshell, the service left a lot to be desired. Before I was treated so rudely, I must say that I was quite eager to try this place after reading the reviews. A grilled coney bun: winning! Sum it up to say that the coney was quite tasty; however, the entire service experience left a bad taste. I'll not likely go back.

Agree with all the folks below! Best Coney ever! Toasted buns seem so obvious, but no one does it anymore. my only complaint is that the place is TINY! Once you get in, the waitstaff is more than accomodating, and the food is awesome. Go early, or prepare to wait. It's worth it, though!

I'm not a big Hot Dog eater, but when I get in the mood I come here. Really good food and service. Very retro and cool place
(5)Rebecca G.
Awesome, awesome, awesome! I normally don't like coneys but I followed some advice I got from a previous reviewer and got the works. I was not disappointed! Everything was great, and the toasted bun was perfectly toasty! I would not recommend eating in if you don't like people being in your personal space because the interior is TINY! I was waiting for my carry out order and practically had to sit in the lap of another diner! I'm glad I tried it and will definitely be back!

Toasted bun for the win! Super Chief has the best coney in Michigan! Seriously. Each footlong comes with their signature chili, mustard and onion. The same recipe and style from the day they opened shop in 1952. The interior of the restaurant is tiny. Luckily some regulars saw us come in and gave up their seats during their post meal discussions. We returned the favor after our meal. The staff is very friendly, the food is cheap, and the restrooms are clean. A must try for any coney lover!

Still amazing. The service and food is top notch (I really like their soup). It just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy here. :-)

These are the best Coney's hands down!!! Grilled buns and good chili. I have moved northwest of Pontiac near Flint and they don't even know how to make a real Coney in this area!

I live in TN now and every time I'm in town I make sure I stop by and get a footlong with chili and cheese and onion rings.

This place is awesome. Discovered it a while back while installing a furnace in the area. It's a little to small for my taste and getting a booth or table can be tricky if you go during the busy lunch time. However the food makes up for it. The coneys are the best in Michigan. The fries are awesome. And if you ask for a cherry coke they make it with cherry syrup, not the bottled cherry coke. I don't get down there as often as I'd like, maybe that's a good thing, other wise I'd weigh 300 lbs. But if I'm in the area, I'll always go in.

This is the best known secret in Waterford. It doesn't look like much on the outside but the food is awesome. Run by a great woman and friendly long standing staff, Super Chief takes Coney food to another level. The inside is very clean and really all you have to know is they toast the buns. The prices are fair and its absolutely worth stopping. Outdoor seating available as well. You'll probably see me in there a couple times a week!
