Jimmy Mac's Roadhouse

Jimmy Mac's is a traditional roadhouse with all the workings, the ambience is set with country western music with a hint of a sports bar style. They start you off with peanuts where you can grab a bowl and eat them at your table and throw the shells over your shoulder (becareful not to hit anyone..lol). The menu is great and can be enjoyed by anyone that likes steak, chicken or pork....I usually go for the ribs and steak with a side of caesar. Whats not usualy known by other is they have wonderful bread that i believe in my opinion is better than Cucina Cucina, their bread is sweet, soft and melts in your mouth....they are the best....if you cant get enough of their meat you can order uncook ready to go like at the meat market.....at their meat and poultry counter by the door way... either or this is a place not to be missed. more

I had heard about this place from other people and so I wanted to give it a try but I'm just not in the Renton area that often. Finally my wife and I met up with some friends who live close by. Everyone talks about the peanut shells on the floor but I didn't expect for the food to be as good as it was. Everything tasted really good and it was brought out very quickly. The service was great and this place seems really kid friendly. We brought our daughter and we noticed several other babies and small children there as well. One drawback is the darn birthday song. I'm not against celebrating people's birthdays or anything, it just gets a little old after the 4th time in an hour. The Red Robin version isn't my favorite either but maybe I just need to lighten up. Anyway, I definitely plan to go back and try something else from the menu. more

I have eaten at many restaurants, but when we stumbled upon this one it was a true delight. Not only for the fact that you are encouraged to be messy by throwing your peanut shells on the floor, but that the restaurant has a great sense of humor and even better food. In the true style of a Texan Roadhouse this place even has a display case of meat when you enter the lobby. A big barrel of peanuts awaits you just in side the door as well. Be sure to grab a scoop full when the hostess brings you to your table. Kids and adults alike enjoy the opportunity to just toss things on the floor. Their yeast rolls with honey whipped butter are grand. The food and service have always proven to be exquisite. They even allow you to substitute side items with anything from their "side trips" listings, without one complaint. The only con I can say is that its not as affordable as I might wish. But you definately get what you pay for! more

I was surprised at how good the food was at Jimmy Mac's Roadhouse. It was a little spicy, but that is fine with me. I ordered a steak and had an extra side of mushrooms (yum!). I was a little taken aback at first when I walked in and there are peanut shells all over the floor, but now I think it's cool. It is a nice place to go and relax, definitely not for the uptight. The people that work there are VERY friendly and there is always enough parking. I would definitely recommend Jimmy Mac's Roadhouse. more

Good bar/grill with steaks that come with a hot zing. You are offered peanuts as a snack while waiting for your food to come. Easy access since its located 1 block north of I-405 exit onto Rainier, then 1 block west. Friendly staff. This place is always busy. Good sandwiches and salads. more
