Two of the best restaurants around are located just 2 blocks from the Munro House in Jonesville. It is great to be able to walk to dinner, and it happens to be romantic, too. Saucy Dog is a great BBQ restaurant just two blocks away. Ribs, pulled chicken, pulled pork, and beef brisket, plus sandwiches are on the menu. Right across the street is Olivia’s Chop House. They offer steaks and seafood, but also have interesting entrees including prime rib, roast duck, and a pork rib eye. Appetizers, soups, salads, and desserts are also pleasant surprises in this small town.
Just 3 blocks away is the perennial people’s choice for ice cream in Hillsdale County–The Udder Side. They used to be known as Jonesville Dairy Treats. Their previous location was land-locked and had no room for a drive-up window. So, they waited until a building burned down on “da udder side of the street”. They built a new facility, got their drive-up window, and continued selling frozen dairy treats right next to McDonald’s. On a stick, in a cone, or in a bowl, the Udder Side has developed original creations that include hard pack and soft serve ice cream along with cold drinks, shakes, and fast food.
Half of B&B is the breakfast. A big hot meal is offered each morning with choices that could include waffles, pancakes, or French toast along with oatmeal and lots of goodies, plus eggs done several different ways. Everything comes with coffee, fruit, juice, and an option for bacon. Nobody has to leave the table until they are full. No one has to leave Jonesville hungry. With so many good choices for food, everything else is a bonus.
