Detroit Coney Island opens new location in Clearwater

Clearwater has a new a tube steak spot.

After 14 years in business and seven years of serving chili-loaded glizzies in Palm Harbor, Detroit Coney Island abruptly closed its doors last February , while hinting that a new location was in the works. Well, now the popular Tampa Bay hot dog purveyor has found a new home in Clearwater Beach.

We certainly wish we would've known earlier, but last March Detroit Coney Island debuted its new outpost at 280 Windward Passage, inside the The Market at Island Estates convenience  store, which is just kitty corner to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium.

Owners Dante and Barb Guarascio still offer up all the classics from their popular menu, like a hot dog in a steamed bun smothered in a beanless chili, raw onions and mustard. However, the new spot also features new offerings, and the menu now spans everything from ice cream, desserts, walleye fish platters and sandwiches, pitas, salads, daily specials and more.

Of course, there's also classic Michigan staples like Better Made Chips and Faygo.

The new Detroit Coney Island is open seven days a week, from 7 a.m.-9 p.m. Also be sure to take advantage of $2 Tuesdays , when every hot dog is just $2.
