Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 4/29/2010 - Jimmy Mac's Roadhouse is a great choiceThe varied menu has something for our entire family. The rolls are FABULOUS - we sometimes order those to go. The peanuts on the floor is a great if you are eating in.

Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 9/26/2009 - Jimmy Mac's Roadhouse is a fun place to eat.A great place to eat overall. Fast, friendly service and good food. The first thing the kids want to do is eat peanuts, just so they can throw the shells on the floor! We have been to several soccer year end parties there and the staff was always very accomidating.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 9/24/2009 - Jimmy Mac's Roadhouse is funOur family loves to go to Jimmy's just to throw the peanut shells on the floor. It is great to keep the little ones entertained. My kids love the home made rolls. We can not get enough of them. The atmosphere is so much fun, very loud though.

We have lunch here for work parties. Always great efficient service, large portions. Drinks are a little pricey. The ribs are great as is the crawfish chowder. Love the peanut shells on the floor.....

We have gone to eat at Jimmy Mac's many times, it is great for Birthday parties. Also for out of town guests.

It's so much fun, and I love the country music and being able to throw peanut shells on the ground. I have been here numerous times. The best part is the AMAZING rolls! Best rolls I have ever tasted. I will continue to bring people here. It's so fun!
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 12/7/2008 - What a fun place!This is a fun restaurant to take the family if you think of yourself as folk. The country music and peanut shells on the floor makes it just as fun as getting your hamburger served on a hub cap. The dinner rolls just keep coming and they are a meal in themselves! The campfire chicken is my favorite item on the menu but the rest of the family likes the ribs. The prices are very, very reasonabl...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 11/21/2008 - Dirty Floors are a Hit!Throwing peanut shells is only a part of the experience at Jimmy Mack's. I loved the country music playin gin the background, and the barbeque style menu! Not to mention the great prices!
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 11/19/2008 - A really fun family or work group destinationThis is a really fun place to go, and you'll always have fun. Grab a complimentary bowl of peanuts on your way in, and throw the shells on the floor! (If you don't, they'll get mad!) The menu is all roadhouse fare, with good steaks, burgers. Crab cakes are a unique offering, too, though a little more pricy. TVs all around offer sports viewing. Your family or group will have a great time!
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 11/15/2008 - Good food and great fun!Throw your peanut shells on the floor and don't worry about the mess. This is a great family restaurant or a good place for a group that doesn't mind a louder atmosphere. Food is good and prices are fair. The best part - the warm, soft rolls with honey butter. My co-workers and I like this place for birthday lunches... their birthday song is hilarious.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 11/10/2008 - Outstanding!Renton location: Service was excellent, food very good and atmosphere even better. Would go there again and willing to bring friends and family. Ice tea glass never went empty.
Portions were large, prices reasonable.
Hard not to fill up on the bread!!!!
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 7/9/2008 - good food, very casualPeanuts on the tables, shells on the floors. I enjoy munching on the peanuts but it's an odd feeling to throw the shells on the floor...The food is good and plentiful. I order a half sandwich combo.

Bad food, Bad service. My wife and I were put at a table in a busy area despite most of the tables being empty, long wait, poor quality food for the price. Even my beer was stale.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 2/7/2008 - Try the chowder!I came across Jimmy Mac's almost accidentally on a recent family trip to Seattle. Because it was a family trip and we had a bunch of kids with us, we ended up staying in Renton. Nice surprise. I come from So. Cal. where there's more than enough "theme" chains to go around. Jimmy Mac's wasn't anything like those. It's a very informal place to get grub (yes, throw your peanut shells on the floor). ...
Read More On Citysearch scuff 1/17/2008 - Great SteakI love the food, and the rolls are the best. I have had a very good experience every time I went to eat. I just wished they would build one up north in the Everett area so I can go to eat there more often.
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 12/10/2007 - They got everything right.The food is just plain good. The service is good. The atmosphere is good. They got everything right, and I am not easy to please.
Read More On Citysearch abwilson 9/11/2007 - Great Steaks!It's a Texas Style Roadhouse - which typically means "not a BBQ joint" - glad that's cleared up.
The steaks are fantastic, the burgers are delictable and everything else is just dern good! I judge a good steak place by the number of times I've gone back... I lost count. Jimmy Mac's stands far out in front of places like the "Outback". Great fun here for the kids too - be sure to grab your bowl o...
Read More On Citysearch kristofuh 8/25/2007 - for the federal way location..
I ate at the federal way location, the service was good, but the food was not. I ordered a halibut sandwhich, and you can get a much better fish sandwhich at mcdonalds, table was sticky, all in all, I would not go back
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 8/10/2007 - Out HouseThis a review for the Federal Way Jimmy Mac's ..........During lunch I smelled raw sewage, thought I was mistaken . Approached the manager who was indifferent and waitress who knew they had a problem the day before with the bathroom plumbing. All they were concerned about was payment for a meal not eaten. Called regional manager who promised to get back to us...no phone call yet. Poor customer se...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 7/19/2007 - Good lunchtime burgerI?ve eaten at this restaurant several times for lunch, and only once for dinner. I can only speak on behalf of the burgers, and not the other food. The best part about coming here is the warm yeast rolls with honey butter and the peanuts. The burgers are good and served on hubcaps, the fries are okay ? but you can substitute any of the other sides for the fries (such as the crawfish chowder wh...
Read More On Citysearch gres0022 11/9/2006 - I don't know about this oneI just moved to Seattle from Kentucky, and the second I walked in Jimmy Mac's I wanted to laugh. I haven't been able to find one good bar-b-que place since I have been here, and Jimmy Mac's certainly didn't change that for me. I think they try a little too hard to fit the stereotypical "country bar-b-que" restaurant. Nothing I ordered tasted very good, and the service wasn't great. The overwhelmi...
Read More On Citysearch ahiltoper 11/4/2006 - tasty and not trendyA place called Jimmy Mac's Roadhouse, which is littered with peanut shells that have been thrown about, is supposed to have loud country music so I didn't hold that against them. We were a large post-football game party who ate well and drank well - you get your wooden bowl of peanuts at the door. They closed a little early than I would have liked but I had to remind myself that I wasn't in the c...
Read More On Citysearch masondw 11/3/2006 - User review by nobblesIt doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is, nut shells on the floor give it away. Staff are very friendly - made me welcome. I had a beef kebab and the steak on the kebab melted in your mouth, several beers later even the country music wasn't that bad..
Read More On Citysearch nobbles 4/3/2006 - Interesting change of paceI've eaten here a couple times & the food's average, but the rolls and atmosphere make up for it.
The crabcakes were bland with a poorly matching spicy dipping sauce. A salmon caesar had good dressing but the salmon had a sweet marinade that I disliked.
I love places that refill your iced tea without having to sit around with an empty glass for 15 mins before somebody notices & The waitstaff...
Read More On Citysearch alivm 12/20/2005 - Worth the Drive!So I went here for my 'Birthday Dinner' and I wouldnt have changed a thing. The waitress was wonderful, and served us our delicious crabcakes right away. It was my boyfriends first time there (as we live almost 8 hours away), and he couldnt believe you could actually throw the peanut shells on the floor.
I got the petite steak and he got the ribs. Both were perfect. When the manager on shift ...
Read More On Citysearch preylood 8/17/2005 - Certainly not a coat and tie kind of a placeFood's always good and consistent, rolls are awesome, steak well above average. The only downside is it can be quite loud, other than that its always on my short list of restaurants.
Read More On Citysearch mrchris05 8/13/2005 - Best Bread in TownIf you are in the mood for a good steak and a casual atmosphere, then Jimmy Mac's Roadhouse is where you should go. With almost every meal you get this fresh warm bread that just melts in your mouth. Reasonably priced too!
PROS: The bread is the best!!
CONS:
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 6/16/2005 - Our Favorite Steak House!When my wife and I moved to Renton, before we were married, we started looking for local resturants to frequent. We stumbled over Jimmy Mac's, it's near a Wal-Mart and shares a parking lot with a Billy McHale's.
First thing you notice is the music - they play both kinds: country and western! Music was playing through the speakers outside the building and even louder inside. I'm not a big fan,...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 6/9/2005 - Great Steak - Down Home StyleI hadn't had a good steak in a long time - and this was so good! We went at dinner time on a friday and didn't have to wait for a table.
It cost us about $60 for 2 adults and 1 child. Not bad really for streak dinners. They also serve peanuts and hot fresh rolls when you are seated. The crawfish chowder was excellent, as were our meals. I was pleasantly surprised to find they served REAL horse...
Read More On Citysearch Citysearch User 5/16/2005 - Yippie!!! Lots of great food, fun atmosphere.There are few restaurants I walk out of saying: "That was fun!" If you're looking for the ultimate amusing, ice-breaker type for the awkward date jitters, entertaining guests, or to get your mind off a bad day, this is it.
The atmosphere's country-ish. The staff is friendly, and you can toss the peanut shells on the floor. It's a little noisy, but you obviously go here if you're in search...
Read More On Citysearch paul sweum 3/30/2005 - Excellent FoodThe waitresses are very friendly and accommodating, the food is excellent, salads fresh, rolls yummy. Peanuts on the floor are fun. Katie's(?) steak is wonderful. No matter what we have ordered, it has been good and there has always been plenty of food.
Read More On Citysearch maureenmoon 6/3/2004 - Not againWe ate here on a Wed night at around dinner time. We were seated right away and recieved our drinks soon after ordering them. The prices of the food was expensive; an appetizer 8.70 to a steak being 14.60 and that was a small one. Taste wise the steak was mediocre at best. We also had to wait for the waitress to actually come back to the table to get payment.

Great steaks and mouthwatering honey butter rolls that can't be beat. The service is awesome and the dinners are a great value - definitely worth driving to Renton for. Although I'm not a great fan of wait staff singing Happy Birthday anthems, it's a little funny when the theme is "Fried Chicken, County Hog, it's your Birthday...

Read More On Citysearch ACityGirl 7/17/2002 - best roadhouseJimmy Mac's Roadhouse is fun, affordable, and has great food. The atmosphere is upbeat and the staff is very friendly. Expect to hear country music, and see "peanuts on the floor". At Jimmy Mac's you can feel free to toss your peanuts shells on the floor. Kids seem to especially enjoy the chance to make a mess... and be encouraged to do it! At Jimmy Mac's you'll be given their homemade roll...

There is something for everyone at Jimmy Mac's. The open atmosphere and boot scootin' music are welcoming and fun. The free hot yeast rolls and peanuts are always a hit. The other food is great too. The blackened dishes are my favorite -- blackened ribeye steak, blackened chicken sandwich, ...
