As we all know, the menus at most coney spots in Michigan are huge, offering up a variety of different dishes. Jason took advantage of this and ordered a bunch of different things. And then he took to Instagram to rave about his food:

The pancakes were phenomenal, came with so much butter on them, there was residue on the plate, you know I had to get a coney, and even had an omelette aforned with chili.

Jason Kelce Has High Praise For Michigan Coney Restaurant

And it wasn't just the food that made his time at Bryan's enjoyable. Jason also raved about the ambiance, the staff, and even the owner, Bryan. And, he gave the whole experience a 10 out of 10, saying:

Besides clogging my arteries in a very enjoyable way, this place had character, individuality, and a visible tank of what I’m assuming hot water visible from the counter. Patrons often leave their favorite coffee mugs there to build the character even more. Not sure if the hot rod out front was a typical day or not, but that thing was dope as well. All in all, our waitress had worked there 30+ years, Bryan himself was still cooking, beer belly, apron, and all. 10 out of 10 would recommend a stop in for real experience with real people.

He liked Bryan's so much that he bought a shirt before he left!
