Thanksgiving is a day to gather with family and friends to give thanks and spend time with the people you love most. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving that signifies the first big day of shopping for Christmas gifts. That is when retailers have sales so big that shoppers camp out or get up early to take advantage of annual super special sales. After a day of eating and a day of shopping, there could be one more thing to do before holiday get-togethers take up a lot of your time. That is the weekend that the Munro House has a special getaway offer. Stay the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving to get a gift card worth dinner for two at two of my favorite restaurants at no additional charge.
Saucy Dog’s is just two blocks away and happens to be my favorite restaurant in the whole world. There, they serve barbeque. The menu consists of ribs, pulled pork, pulled chicken, hot dogs, and sandwiches, but I go there for the brisket. My go-to item on the menu is their beef brisket wrap. It consists of tender smoked beef with veggies in a soft tortilla that is as big as your face. The meat is smoked for 14 hours and has great flavor. I have eaten every item on the menu, and I can honestly say that there are so many good choices that it can be hard to decide.
Olivia’s Chop House is more of a fine dining experience. They have steaks and seafood along with pasta, pork, and poultry. They serve a bacon, lettuce, and tomato soup that is wonderful. Their calamari is the best on the planet (in my opinion). Many of our guests rave about the salmon and roast duck, but I go there for the prime rib. It is smoked and has never touched a grill. It comes out so tender that I have been tempted to eat it with a spoon. For dessert, crème brulée is outstanding, but if it’s a special occasion, you could order a flaming dessert that they will prepare table-side, just for you. This is the kind of restaurant that is expected in a big city, however it is just two blocks away in downtown Jonesville.
A two night reservation at the Munro House on Friday and Saturday, November 28 and 29, can earn
you two free dinners at two great restaurants just two blocks away in downtown Jonesville. Just mention the “GOBBLER” special when you call in your reservation, or enter promo code GOBBLER when you book online. 3 days notice required.
