    You know you are home when you take that first bite of a coney dog and memories of your childhood…read morecome flooding back. I have so many memories from being a kid, to dates with my husband and now looking forward to the first visit when back in town. We both got 2 coney dogs and root beer. I had the onion rings while the hubs had fries. One thing I love about Rudy's is they do not skimp on the coney sauce and I have no shame in saying that I could just eat it with a fork. lol Their root beer is perfectly creamy and has just the right amount of "bite". I can neither confirm nor deny that we returned later in the day to get a Boston cooler (Vernor's float) and a cream beer. If you are a local or visiting the area, you must check them out. They only accept cash but have an ATM on site. Service is by car hop and they have picnic tables that you can dine at if you don't want to eat in your car. I see another trip in the future before we leave even if it's just for a brown cow or another Boston cooler. lol

    This looks like a diner with a relatively simple menu with food that you might also want on the…read morefourth of July and that's exactly what it is - great cheeseburgers, great mozzarella sticks, great root beer, fantastic shakes. If you get the 1/2 gallon jug of root beer, it comes in a plastic milk jug, not an amber glass bottle (the advertising on DoorDash shows a cute I think charging 71 cents for ketchup is weird, but overall fair pricing. Great vibe when eating there! Feels old school.

    I believe Jackson Coney Island was remodeled under new ownership years ago. It seems like they've…read moremaintained high standards throughout the years. Daily specials and breakfast served all day. I went with my craving: 2 coney dogs with fries and a drink, which happened to be the special. Although it was busy, there were still open tables. Service was fast and attentive, including the time-honored skill of keeping drinks topped off. Everything was good, and Jackson Coney ranks among the best coney places in the area. I can't wait to try their breakfast! One thing that was concerning to me: fruit flies, or something similar to them. It's been super cold out for a while, so these things were coming from inside somewhere. There were but only a couple, thankfully.

    Can I give ZERO stars?? Let's begin talking about why…read more.. 1st - they haven't changed the oil in the fryers since...???? The stale oil fryer smell almost knocks you over when you go in. 2nd - I took my 40 oz cup in - so it didn't sit in the hot car (95+ degrees that day). The waitress came and said "the manager said you can't have that in here" as she shrugged and gave me a quiet "I'm sorry". Didn't even wait to see if I ordered a drink or not (which I did, btw). 3rd - ordered our food - - is all I can say (I think you get the picture of how bad it was. My aunt was dying right up the street at the hospital so there was no real ability/opportunity to leave as we hadn't eaten all day and we were trying to get back to the ICU. We could have had a better "meal" from the hospital vending machines... I went to college in Spring Arbor and remembered that this place used to be better than average for a small diner type restaurant. Then I heard the guy who owns it bought "The Parlour" (whooeee, back in the day it was THE PLACE to go for ice cream with all my college friends!). And, then I saw that The Parlour was permanently closed... what? How could that be?? Well, if the food and service deteriorated to what this place has become then, I can see why! An iconic place shut down because - eww, gross! Honestly, don't waste your time and energy here - go to the hospital vending machines and get something to eat if the cafeteria is closed, you'll like it more.
