Jones Pancake Shop

I LOVE Jones' potato pancakes! I remember going for them when I was little -- it was always such a treat. The shop has changed over the years but the food is still the same -- it's incredible. They are only open seasonally, though I wish they were open year round! They are about a 40 minute trip (one way) for me, but worth it! Long lines are also frequently found -- since this is a popular summer spot, and the potato pancakes are loved by many. Their menu is simple -- potato pancakes, pierogies, and hot dogs. You can get your pancakes with a side of sour cream or applesauce for an additional charge. I am eagerly awaiting their re-opening this year -- and I am sure my family will be regulars. With the price of gas, I think I may have to buy extra to freeze, so I can save on gas .... I wish I knew their secret, because if I did, I would be enjoying the absolute best potato pancakes year round for a lot less. more

If you're hungry for potato pancakes, your destination has to be to Jones Pancake Shop located at Harvey's Lake. The pancake shop is open from March (weekends only) through September, open daily after Memorial Day. Its a quaint little restraunt that offers not only great potato pancakes, but also pierogies served with butter and onions. If you enjoy the potato pancakes served at fairs, then you will absolutely love these. They are deep fried (in my opinion, they taste better than the ones cooked on a skillet). And you can eat them with a side of sour cream, apple sauce, or ketchup. I personally perfer to salt them and eat them with a side of sour cream. I look forward to the opening of this restraunt every year. I highly recommend them. more
