Yummm....I LOVE Jones'!!! If you're taking 415 down to the lake, when you reach the lake and the Grotto is on your left, make a RIGHT there and it's right there on your right hand side, about a tenth of a mile. You won't be able to miss it because there will probably be lines of people waiting. They're pretty big....very greasy (but I like 'em that way ) If there's onions in them, they're very small and mixed very well. They have a crunchy exterior, but a creamy inside. With sour cream and a little salt, YUMM!! You get 5 huge ones in each order, and one order is MORE than enough for 2 people to share. Have fun!

My wife swears by the place. It is definitely good, but an instant heart attack. Everything is fried. I like their pierogi's as well as the pancakes. The hype is OK in my book....they've been there, what 50 years?? Try it out, it won't break the bank..that's for sure.

You have to go there! It's been a few weeks and I'm itching to get up maybe this weekend. It's really packed there sometimes but the wait is well worth it, and you can stop at Hillside after for ice ream! Man I'm a piggy...

Is Hillside Ice Cream place still there? My parents would always stop there on the way back to Bear Creek from Harvey's Lake.
