This is one of those places mindset and company matter more than the wow factor due to the atmosphere.

“Our waitress Ona did such a fabulous job like we can’t even put into words how amazing and wonderful she was!! Her service is so beyond phenomenal that all waitresses service should be trained by her! She basically read our minds of what we needed on top of dealing with all tables and giving them amazing service. I was watching how she did it so smoothly but she’s just a diamond in the dozen! We did not need to ask her for anything that’s how well she was! We definitely will be back to see her!“

“Well, it’s Friday night in Tacoma, which is about the time the week lets go of your collar and you realize you’ve survived another five days of God's green earth. The sun is setting over the Sound; the parking lot is filling up with folks who’ve decided that cooking supper is an optional hobby for another day.

I was sitting there at a high-top table with three of my coworkers—good people, salt of the earth, the kind of folks who know how to work hard and aren’t afraid to talk about it over a beer. We had ourselves a perch where we could swivel our heads just enough to keep one eye on the NFL game and the other on the Seattle Mariners, hoping against hope that tonight’s the night things finally break our way.

Now, some folks from out of town might look at a chain restaurant and think it’s all mass-produced and predictable, like a box of saltines from the bottom of the pantry. But those folks haven’t met Kamie.

Kamie was our waitress, and let me tell you, she is the sort of person who could walk into a church basement during an argument over the annual bazaar and leave everyone feeling like they’d just won a blue ribbon for their winter squash. She has that cheerful, unflappable grace you only find in people who possess bottomless patience and have spent a good long while dealing with the public. She carried our orders with the easy poise of a choir director stepping up to the piano, and she didn't bat an eye when four of us showed up looking for a good meal and a beverage after a long week on the docks.

I ordered the riblet meal—tender little morsels of pork bathed in sweet and spicey barbecue sauce that’s sweet with just enough heat to remind you you’re alive—alongside a cold, frosty draft of beer that had beads of condensation running down the glass like a cold morning on open water. The food was good, solid, honest nourishment that didn't put on airs.

But the service? Well, the service was, as they say, WOW! Kamie brought the plates out with a smile that could melt the frost off a windshield, kept our glasses from going empty while we hashed out the events of the work week, and made you feel like you were the only table in the whole place, even though the room was humming right along with the weekend crowd.

It was a fine Friday night in Tacoma, good company, good food, and a reminder that grace can show up just about anywhere—even under the amber glow of an Applebee's neon sign. Five stars, without a doubt.“

“Good breakfast. I had the full lumberjack hobo hash breakfast. Bring your appetite for this one. Mmm, good and lots of food.“

“great food service coffee“

“knowledgeable staff. helped me get my ball dialed in.“

“We tried for the 1st time today and will definitely be making this a regular stop“

“Been here around 5 times now. Their food is generously portioned and absolutely delicious every single time. Not once has been a miss. Probably some of the best fish and chips around, too. Last time I was here I got the fried chicken sandwich and it was fantastic. The service is also great, polite, and fast. I don't think it's ever taken more than 15 minutes to get my food. Their prices are, imo, better than a lot of places. Especially since their portions are enough it's easy to take half of it home. Love it.“

“Jimmy Mac's Roadhouse. My wife and I went there for lunch, and I’ll tell you what, that was the best meal I have had in a long time at a restaurant. Definitely going back again. I would invite and encourage everyone to go and visit. The Hospitality was great, good vibes. I recommend you go there. #JimmyMacsRoadhouse“

“Food was excellent. Homey vibes. Super large portions.“
