After the Puyallup Farmers Market nearby, my husband and I wanted to find a dine-in spot to have a…read morequick lunch with our son. West Pioneer Grill was walking distance and one that we haven't visited before, so we decided to give it a try. We clearly made it before the market rush because there were a good amount of tables open and we were seated immediately - 10 minutes later the place was nearly full. Definitely casual vibes here but that's what we were looking for. Our server, Jesse (easy to remember because that's my husband's name LOL), was great and we didn't have too long of a wait for anything. Limited selection of alcoholic beverages. I got a bottled Space Dust and my husband is a cider drinker but they didn't have any, so he also went with a beer. They do also have some liquor options. If you're a milkshake fanatic, we saw a milkshake menu that had to have at least 30 options on it! We weren't starving so we decided to split the fish tacos and it was the perfect amount. The tacos were good and were a generous size. We loved the sauce that they had it topped with, definitely pulled the entire dish together. Our son got some chicken strips and naturally, he loved them. We tried them and they were good - plus the ranch they have is BOMB. Very dilly, and really good! I think the only negative thing I really noticed was that the restaurant didn't feel the cleanest (observations from bathroom + flies) but could just have been an off day. Glad we checked out this spot and would definitely come back in the future for their extensive milkshake options!

First time trying the brunch after many dinner visits…read more Started with cocktails and both were really good. The Greenhouse Bloody Mary was lighter and fresher than a typical Bloody, made with an in-house clarified celery juice base that gave it a really bright flavor. We also tried the Rhubarb Sunrise with rhubarb purée and vodka, simple, refreshing, and super easy to drink. We started with the crab cocktail: chilled crab leg meat over ice with lemon and cocktail sauce. Really fresh and simple in the best way. The salad ended up being one of our favorite things we ordered. Fresh greens, snap peas, pistachios, feta, mint, dill, and a grilled lemon vinaigrette. Super refreshing and kind of addictive. The server did a great job with the timing of the food which is always appreciated, so you don't feel rushed. We split the pork belly benedict and it was excellent, rich smoky pork belly, perfectly poached eggs, and a really solid hollandaise. The potatoes were crispy and nicely seasoned too. The French toast was ridiculously good. Thick-cut with a crunchy caramelized outside and soft custardy center, topped with strawberry-rhubarb and fresh whipped cream. Sweet but not too heavy because the rhubarb balanced everything out. By the time 11:00 rolled around the restaurant started to fill up, if you want to come when they open at 10 you could probably get in without a reservation or sit at the bar. The outdoor patio was also open and looked nice. Finished with a michelada made with pilsner, vodka, Bloody Mary mix, and a shrimp garnish. Awesome food and cocktails like always from Oxbow. Definitely coming back for brunch with family and friends.

Before I came, I looked at the reviews and there seems to be a lot of different mixed messages. For one if you're a regular customer and come in often, the employees seem to treat you much better, and when it comes to food they seem to have the better pick of food from the kitchen. As I read through one review they frequently come, they said that they are definitely changes in the service and the quality of food just within the last year or two. Given more history, I did hear that after Covid the restaurant lost certain companies that they used to get their food from which could explain the downgrade in the quality. I only took one picture because in all honesty it really wasn't worth me taking others and I don't understand why a side salad literally a third of the plate was eight dollars. The cucumbers had gone bad and some of the lettuce had even been wilted. The salad definitely was not worth eight dollars. I have had side salads with fresh ingredients for the same price at a dive bar and this is supposed to be a very well-known kind of upscale barbecue place that's in a well-known community that supports their business. The server was also mediocre and I honestly don't believe it would've been better but we were with a well-known customer, the employees seem to be a little bit more friendly, but definitely did not go out of way to make sure my meals were good. The macaroni and cheese taste very bland. There was not a whole lot of seasoning to it. Some of my brisket was dry and some of it was cold so that makes me wonder how long it's been sitting. The brisket was also kind of a seasoned, but not very well. The Tri-tip also was dry which I don't recommend getting. I did enjoy the baked beans and potato salad, but be aware because some cups of beans have mainly onions and bell pepper with barely any beans and some of the cups have no onions and peppers with just all beans. I have had a lot of barbecue in this state being a native of Kansas City and relatives from Texas. I know what good food is especially barbecue! I guess for this area it's one of the better places to go. The only other location that's nearby is Jack's barbecue which is their specialty is beef ribs, but they put literally pepper in everything so there's no flavor at all except for spicy!!!! At least at this restaurant, I'm not drinking a gallon of water because everything is so spicy like at Jack's but that's for another review. Thank you again for your support and following my review's. Has always be safe out there and I'll see you at my next bite!

She recently discovered this place and has been complimenting on how good this place was so I had to check it out. It sits in a very nice neighborhood, in a plaza with other establishment, so there's ample parking spaces. Upon entering the restaurant, you seat yourself to any available tables or booth. The waitress was so nice and extremely efficient, she definitely got it down. I ordered the chicken fried steak to see what the hype was all about from my sister. I have to say that it was probably the best chicken fried steak that I've eaten before. It was crispy, hot and not salty at all. It was perfect. Portions were decent and the price was reasonable. The French toast was sooooo good, it had the right amount of fluff and powdered sugar, it was so good. I would come back here again and totally recommend this place.

Seat yourself in a booth or table. Walls are decorated in historic photos from the area. Everything was clean and tidy. The waitress brought waters, menus, silverware and napkins. She was very bubbly and quiye capable. The diner offers coke products. The Philly cheese steak was very tasty. I am told "there are a lot of flavors going on in there." The broccoli cheddar soup was tasty, creamy and not salty. The vegetable omlette is fluffy and stuffed with veg. Not seasoned, salt & pepper are on the table along with ketchup, jelly and creamer. The potatoes were grilled crisp and the english muffin was also grilled. Newer restrooms are at the back past the seating. They are clean and there is no diaper station. An open doorway connects the diner to the restaurant next door. Good choice for breakfast, a salad, soup, sandwich or dinner entree.

I've had about 5 burger at J Macs over the years and none have impressed me. I just found out the Renton location closed and I also believe they had a Lynnwood location which also is gone, leaving this lone establishment. We changed it up and decided to try Happy Hour. This is the best Happy Hour menu I have seen in recent memory. Solid selection and reasonable prices. I went with the Potato Skins and I have to tell you, they were the largest skins I've ever seen making it a killer deal. Unfortunately, the flavor just wasn't there. Not enough bacon and I would have rather had ranch instead of sour cream. I think Black Angus has the best Potato Skins around now that Claim Jumpers is gone and unless they changed the menu, they are available for Happy Hour there. Again, the skins here did not impress, but the price and portion blew me away, so these guys are going to get 4 stars from me. Jimmy's and Billy's may have the same owner, but the recipes differ, I think Billy is more flavorful and consistent, but you get more meat selections at Jimmy's. Good news is they are only a couple miles apart. So choose wisely and enjoy either way.

Meh I will…read moreacknowledge that mid-market steak/bbq joints in general are having a tough time in this economy. But the entire meal here was underwhelming and/or poorly cooked The rolls: I guess they are ok but I don't get the kvelling over them. On the sweet side, mild pleasant yeasty flavor. Didn't realize they came with honey butter which made them way too sweet for my taste Crabcake dinner: forgettable. 2 half dollar sized crab cakes that didn't blow our hair back in any way. Combo dinner 6oz steak/ribs: steak was good - nicely cooked to mid rare. I thought the ribs were braised (soft, fall off the bone) but then I read the Jimmy Mac's smoked their ribs - which is suspect - no bark, no smoke flavor...ribs just OK. Baked potato was prob good and fluffy 4 hrs earlier but was way too dense as if it had been sitting in warming for too long. Mushrooms were way too salty I guess if I ever go back I would get the steak but you can get a better $40 sirloin at a place like Melrose Grill. Goto Jacks in federal Way if u want real Texas BBQ Service was good - and it looks like a good place for large parties. Just wish the food was a notch better in quality

I want to know what seasonings they used, 'cause this dip had better depth of flavor than what I'm used to with spinach dip!! I enjoyed my glass of prosecco, too.
