Night Light Restaurant

Night Light

145 West Pearl
Jackson, MI

“Pub Grub” is a term thrown around quite often. It refers to the food “grub” that is served at a lot of taverns or “pubs”.  Most people think of pub grub as simple, unsophisticated food, such as sandwiches, burgers, or maybe some Mexican food. Night Light has a different idea about what constitutes pub grub.
The food there is dressed in a little nicer clothing than the standard fare found in most pubs. The kitchen seems to take special pride in using better ingredients, which of course results in a better final dish.
Sandwiches and burgers are a big part of the Night Light menu, and I’ve always felt that the bread is where a lot of restaurants fall short. A good hamburger bun can really set off a burger, and Night Lights recognizes this. They use nice large light and airy buns, which complement the burger, not detract from it.
The last time we stopped in, my wife ordered the grilled cheese sandwich. We were surprised when it arrived at the table and noticed that it was made with flat bread, which gave it a very unique twist.
I ordered the “Big Chief Burger”, a very generous burger with bacon and cheese. This was the second time I’ve ordered this one, and neither time have I made it all the way through.
As usual, the staff was friendly and helpful. Night Light has such a cheerful atmosphere, and always provides a nice relaxing dining experience.
