I will let everyone know this place will not make it plain and simple if you don't have great customer service your business will fail! We own over 40 Mexican Restaurants in the states of Washington Oregon Nevada Arizona and all have been up and running for 20 plus years now! This place when pulling up looks like a old library lots of parking and no customers when we visited there we were the 2nd people who walked in the door! The woman working were so rude the younger girl talked to the other in a foreign language 🙄 like for us not to know what they were saying the meatballs were dry no real good taste so we tried bacon wrapped ones they were dry but had a better taste because of corse everyone know adding bacon makes everything taste better green beans dry lumpy gravy and the most bland tasting eggs tasted like the ones you get at a hospital cafeteria and the rudeness of the staff was unbelievable when in a business such as food everything and everyone has to be on que I dont see this place being open that much longer they need Gordon Ramsey to step in and clean up this place!

Excellent flavor in the meatballs and the sides were top tier. The owner was very friendly and the space itself was nice. Definitely recommend you give it a try!

Could have been a little cleaner and chairs put down so you felt welcome, not like they were closing at 1 pm in the afternoon

Mac and cheese and the cucumber salad were the best things here and recommended. The meatballs and mashed potatoes were Luke warm and just alright. Deviled eggs tasted a little fishy so I did not eat them.

We ordered a viking feast for our family of 4 and we all loved it. The lingonberry sauce + meatballs + mash = SO good. The green beans were tasty too, even kid approved! The restaurant is nice and spacious and we also noticed board games you could play while having dinner, a nice touch. On a road trip, this home style meal was greatly appreciated instead of a fast food drive thru. Would recommend!

Food was good but the cucumber salad was suuuper salty. The baked beans made up for it though! Employees were awesome.

Fantastic, tender meatballs, tasty house made side dishes, quick service. We always stop by for a plate on our way from Seattle or the airport and they never disappoint. My go-to is Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes, roasted green beans, and chunky fresh apple sauce. They have tons of other sides like cucumber salad, macaroni and cheese, deviled eggs, fries, dill rice, egg noodles. I highly recommend Manic Meatballs!

Great food! 👍 😋 bacon wrapped balls is the best! Fantastic.
First time trying this place and probably won't be back. The food was just ok and on a Tuesday they were out of several things.

Pretty unique spot, especially close to JBLM. The gravy and sides were awesome. The meatballs were a little mixed. My daughter got the chicken meatballs. They were a bit dry. I got the classic ones. They were good, but the sides were better IMO. Maybe we caught them on a weird day. If you have kids, this is an easy one.

Food was really good, I was surprised at the options available. Place was clean, staff was friendly. My only detractor is the seats inside aren't comfortable. If you aren't a big eater try the 3 meatballs and a side it's hard to gage the amount of food you get and I feel I ordered to much with the 6 ball classic. Update. 09/10/25 new seats food was just as good this time around!
Truly a life changing experience Now unfortunately my review can’t fully highlight how wonderful this establishment truly was as I do not enjoy meatballs in the slightest but the vibe of sitting quietly enjoying fry’s im stealing from someone else’s plate followed by loud tailor swift music playing on the tv right next to us full blast truly cannot be beaten The meatballs were alright
