“Will you walk into my parlor?” said the Spider to the Fly

So no spiders and no flies are mentioned in this post (and none were involved either), but rather a quaint little restaurant called, “The Parlour” in Jackson, MI. My mother and stopped there this past Saturday after a day of wonderful wine tasting (Do not worry, I will talk about glorious wine tasting soon enough). From the pictures, it’s easy to tell the place looked quaint and rather old timey.

While known for it’s ice cream, we ate dinner as a pre-cursor to the tasty ending. I ordered “The Parlour Signature” burger ($6.95, the most expensive burger). This burger had a ⅓ lbs beef patty and was topped with onions, lettuce, swiss cheese, cheddar cheese, tomato, mushrooms, bacon and ham (Yes, it had a slice of ham on it)! While I opted out of the cheddar cheese an tomato, this hamburger was delicious. Admittedly, I was expecting a much greaser burger, but I was pleasantly surprised at the very minimal amount of grease and even that was just juice. Just see for yourself how tasty the burger (and fries!) look:


But the best part, however, was the “Sundae of the Month”. The sundae this month contained one scoop vanilla, one scoop cinnamon, and one scoop pumpkin spice ice cream ($5.95). Than it was topped with two cherries, a mound of whip cream, and the topping of our choice, which was caramel at this case. No one in their right mind could resist this (Not even my vegan brother):


As if this was not amazing enough, they have their “Dare to be Great” challenge. For $29.99 you get 21 scoops of ice cream and multiple toppings, but if you alone finish it with in an hour you can get it for free! They also have the “Baby Dare to be Great” which we saw a great grandpa treating three rambunctious boys which is 10 scoops instead of 21.

If you’re in Jackson, MI, this is a cute place to check out with decent food, great ice cream and good prices.
