"By 2018, Parsell had established the LLC for Safflower Street and was renting space out of commercial kitchens to fulfill wholesale orders for vegan desserts at local restaurants like Chili Mustard Onions, Cacao Tree Cafe, and Ale Mary’s." - Brenna Houck

"The menu at vegan comfort food sensation Chili Mustard Onions riffs off classic coney island fare like gyros, “cheeze” fries, and burgers, but the main event is the CMO coney: a Smart Dog with meatless chili, mustard, and onions. Customers have the option to order one with a gluten-free bun." - Brenna Houck

"Chili Mustard Onions, a vegan coney island restaurant owned by Pete LaCombe, is set to open this spring after construction delays. The menu will feature vegan versions of classic dishes like coneys, gyros, wraps, spinach pie, and a meatless burger called the Big Mock. The restaurant will also offer craft beer, wine, and cocktails, focusing on organic and non-GMO ingredients. Prices will range from $5 to $13. The restaurant occupies the space briefly held by Le Petit Dejeuner in 2015, which has since relocated." - Brenna Houck

I came up visit this spot based on reviews about the service, and because I heard it's a vegan spot that is actually pretty good. Location wise it's kind of in a random place. It's kind of like its own element in the sea of residential, and right across from DMC hospital which was a little bit off. And the entrance is also unassuming. But as soon as you step inside, you feel the welcoming aura. I thought the food was prepared well. It was quick. The service was excellent too. Now the prices were a little bit on the high end so that's one caveat. And the decor/furniture could use a little bit of work since it's a bit dated at this point. However, overall it was a good experience and I'd recommend a visit. I got the Coney Dog - which is kind of like a chili dog with I think fake meat. I also got the loaded fries which I thought were actually quite good. I'd like to try the big mock Burger, but at $16 it was a little bit too much to splurge on for a taste.

Great food—LONG waits. Try the “chicken” sandwich—it’s great! Their chili dogs are good too, but I think they use Smart Dogs— which taste like rubber in bologna water—but the chili and onions cover up a multitude of sins! Great customer service!!

I would say this is the best vegan restaurant I've been to, but no, it's the best restaurant I've been to period. The food was perfect, the portions were massive, the wait staff were amazing and the atmosphere was really, really cool. Very laid back yet professional. The walls are covered with guitars and memorabilia of vegan artists who have eaten here. If you want the best lunch experience in Detroit look no further. I would eat here everyday if i lived closer. Chili Mustard Onions is cruelty free eating at its finest 👌 If you're in Detroit try it, vegan or not. Seriously. You won't regret it.

So, I eventually made it to CMO this past weekend. There was a line at 10 minutes to open, but I had some time to kill. People need to realize this is a new style of a Coney Island that was brought to Detroit. This is something for non meat eaters to enjoy a Coney again and to show, maybe future non meat eaters that vegan/vegetarian isn’t boring. So of course there’s going to be a wait. Pack your patience! With that being said I waited an hour to be seated. Once seated and order placed I had my food in less than 10 minutes. My food was not cold, it was hot. The food was amaze balls. What sorcery is in this making it taste like a real coney? It tastes so much like a real coney I had to look closely to make sure what I was eating. I can’t wait to go back! Overall, great food, service and atmosphere. Oh, love the artwork!

Wow! This is one of the best restaurants in Detroit. I recommend coming here even if you aren't vegetarian/vegan. I recommend the CMO King and some cheese fries. It's pricey, but the portions are huge. You could easily get two meals out of one entree.

Great experience!! My wife and I ordered the Big Mock, a coney dog, and 2 orders of chili cheese fries. I'm not a vegan or vegetarian but I've given up beef and pork, since then I've been craving some chili cheese fries, this was just what I needed!! The best thing we tasted was the Big Mock burger; of all the go green burgers we've tried this is definitely a new favorite!! The atmosphere is dope & they have nice art work; I'd recommend dinning in.

Great vegan restaurant. Had a very fun atmosphere and very good food. We had a Big Mock (vegan Big Mac with 2 patties and special sauce) and a Beet (meat)ball sandwich. Their chili cheese fries were very good as well. This is not a fast food restaurant. On Saturday nights don’t be in a rush.
