I was horrified to find my order was presented to me in banned Styrofoam containers. I checked. As of June first the State of Washington has banned the use of Styrofoam packaging. I care about the health and well-being of all of my loved ones and that of others. This blatant disregard on this restaurants part makes me further wonder about the care and safety of all of their practices. Or is the almighty dollar their only objective. Shame, shame on you! read more

Still yummy as ever. Check the menu online and pay before you go for faster take out experience. I personally am not ready to cohabited while I eat but they are limited at spacing read more

Five stars for the amazing owners! I've dined in, ordered out, catered multiple times for my office! It's always been great, friendly, and delicious 10/10!! read more

The fries get super soggy really fast.. was bummed out I didn't mind the pulled pork however everyone also who ordered said it was very dry.. the fries taste good just not for long, the staff is very nice so that's a plus. read more

As a family of 4 we decided to try this local restaurant. The value of the meal was almost $50, the kids both had chicken nuggets and fries both which have been over cooked and looked unappealing! honestly the nuggets hard as rocks, I had to peel the batter off so the kids could even attempt to eat them. The fries tasted like they have been cooked in old grease both kiddos didn't eat them. At a cost at of $6 per meal McDonald's does better. We decided to each order the 1 meat plate, wasnt much better off. The meat was cold, beans old and have been reheated one too many time st least that's the impression of taste they gave, coleslaw lacked flavor and also wasnt fresh. The best thing out of the meals had been the warm roll. I let the hostess know about the meal and let her know that the meal wasnt that great, we received a thanks for letting us know. Now I don't expect that our meals should have been free but I think something else could have been done. We are giving a two because the place was clean looking and the staff had been friendly but quality of food is a zero. read more

My husband and I was there the other day and he got food poisoning The server was amazing. The people were really nice, but this is the second time getting food poisoning from this place. We were trying to give them a second chance, but turns out nothing changed. It's a really cute place and nice people but can't good here again read more

Best food! Their carrot cake is amazing! Best I've ever had and I love carrot cake! This is a great local business !

On our way back to Yelm from visiting Mt Rainier. My friends and I are here visiting from Florida. BBQ was on our minds, so we stopped in to see how they do BBQ in Yelm. We ordered a variety of options, the brisket (not a huge fan, kinda dry but adding some bbq sauce wasn't too bad) we also got the cornbread-definitely a must have. The burger was awesome. Potato salad was great. And can't go wrong with sweet potato fries. All and all, pretty good and well priced. read more

Love the sloppy joe will continue to indulge it, mac and cheese also, bbq was 4.5/5 loved it, I will try others like pretzel roll melt sound and seen it... can't wait for my next work shop day in meckena!!! read more

We have eaten here on and off for years. Much better food 20'ish years then now. My son had gotten a burger and fries a few days ago and commented on how salty the burger was. Today my husband brought home burgers for the family and I could not eat mine because it was all salt! There's one of 2 reasons why u would over salt, either the meat has or is about to turn bad and they want to cover it up or the cook is a complete incompetent. It could really be either or as I think this place has been going down hill for quite awhile. They will never get another dime of our money. read more

Amazing service and the food always comes out quickly, the prices are great cute little country style place

Awful service. We sat looking at the menu for 20 min and no one offered to take our order. The sad part was there was only one other couple. Didn't even get to try the food as we walked out read more

an hour agoNEW We stopped in as we passed through Yelm. We have visited the other location but not this one. We walked in after standing there a min trying to comprehend the ridiculous abbreviated menu board behind the counter, a crabby female says...."you want a regular menu " after a minute, we ordered, and I requested a soda with no ice. She says curtly, "It's serve yourself," I said. Oh, of course, then I made a comment that we had only ever visited the Lacey location. Miss half shaved head quickly corrected me and said under her breath, nice and passive aggressive..."It's self serve there too" Food could be great, but the attitude is a big no for me - will never come back. read more

We all had a burger. Best fries ever! Mac n cheese was outstanding! Next time we will try the bbq. The resturant smelled yummy, service was great, and we got our food fast. read more

Jim Bob's Chuck Wagon - Barbeque Near Me - Mckenna, Washington

Lived in the area for years and never stopped. Will absolutely be back with family. Breakfast this morning couldn't be beat. I mean literally everything was perfect. French toast just right, corned beef hash with country gravy, eggs over medium, fluffy biscuits... you've seriously got to try this place. Efficient counter ordering and fast service of hot food. Classic country look. read more

Without knowing much about this place we stopped by for dinner, and were very pleasantly surprised. Great food, great service (Natacia is HILARIOUS and amazing). Would highly recommend this spot. (The bread pudding is great, and although one might think "how good could a French fry really be?", take the plunge and order a plate.!) read more

What an Awfull restaurant!! So I ordered the beast burger with fries the bag of fries was barely full, my wife got a regular hamburger, but it came with no fries, so I asked the Manager about the bag of fries that was barely full, she said that's what the owner said to give and the burger doesn't come with fries which is extra. I asked about a military discount, she said only active duty, not retired. She was rude and couldn't manager her way out of a wet paper bag. There food is wayyyy overpriced and you don't get your money worth. This place is right around the corner from my house, but will never go back. Wish I could give it No Stars read more

Jim Bob's Chuck Wagon - Barbeque Near Me - Mckenna, Washington

I have given Jim Bob's three chances and every single time that I went in there is either an altercation at the checkout between another customer or they're out of food or my pulled pork sandwich is cold I personally would not suggest John Bob's not my favorite place read more

After living in the South for a large number of years we have been spoiled with great BBQ. Now living in Washington State finding good BBQ is tough to find as our bar is set very high. Wife and I have passed Jim bob's Chuck Wagon often since our RV is parked nearby and though we would give it a try. Not a bad decision! The meats are smoked on site. Order at the counter and they provide a table marker for delivery of your order within a reasonable amount of time. We ordered a 2-meat plate and a rack of ribs to share. My boy wanted a kid's cheeseburger with fries. His burger was large with a generous amount of fries. The sweet tea was mixed decent (glad they had sweet tea as it is not as common in the west). Our rack of ribs was already cut and served in a tray covered in sauce. Most BBQ aficionados bring when ANY BBQ is served with sauce ON the meat already. This does not allow the ability to taste the smoke flavor or the meat. The ribs were drenched! This was an immediate turn off. The pork and chopped brisket were served dry. The server provided two sauce bottles, catsup and BBQ sauce. Ok, one type of sauce. It was not bad, but a variety of at least three of the most common styles would have been nice to compliment the meats and the consumer's specific taste(s). I was able to use a knife to scrape the thick amount of sauce off the top of the ribs to take the first bite to critique the seasoning and smoke flavor. They were meaty ribs and cooked just right. The brisket was chopped in good sized pieces and the pulled pork was just that. Fries were tasty and had the crispy outside. Okra was some the best I have had with the batter just right and the okra was not gummy or slimy. Service was good and they do offer a military discount pin request. I would love to return and try their burgers as my boy's was good. read more

First time eating at this place. Love the country atmosphere. Ordered the chopped brisket with baked beans and sweet potato fries for lunch. Very good food. Next time I'm in the area I'll eat here again. read more

Service was mediocre at best. Burger was soggy an had no flavor. Chicken strips were okay wont be going back

Got the bbq chicken burger with a side of mashed potatoes and chicken strip and fries. The chicken strip were processed disgusting meat, steak fries were good like red Robin's. Chicken burger was very smoky almost to the point it tasted like smoked salmon. Coleslaw was good. Mashed potatoes I think are instant and way to expensive. Also got a vanilla milkshake and couldn't taste the vanilla. Won't be back especially for the cost. read more

Oh my lord!! This restaurant does BBQ right! Stopped in for lunch and will be BACK!! Even grabbed dessert to go! The selection and specials were perfect!! Staff was very attentive!! read more

Stopped here while on a road trip with my car club and pulled into the empty parking lot wondering if it was open. The outside of the building was interesting, not in a bad way but I had doubts. As soon as we entered though we were greeted by a clean dining area, amazing smells and a friendly staff. There were a couple people eating who parked on the other side of the building. Within minutes the place was busy with several customers. We had the chicken fried steak and eggs (breakfast served all day) which was awesome! Also had BBQ pulled pork and chopped brisket with mac and cheese and baked beans. Delicious! Everyone else at my table had similarly great meals. Food was quick, hot and delicious with large portions. I wish I lived closer, I would make this my home away from home! read more

The french fries were very good, I would have to say non-chain stores this was the best fries Ive had, they were not greasy or anything like that and nice and fresh and hot! The Burger, dang that sucker was huge lol, I forget the name of it, but had two patties, and triple cheese and was pretty good, the meat I thought was excellent. I did get a chili to go, since I love Chili, and another thing I love, they have Pepsi products here :) read more

The food is always good and the staff always friendly. Our favorites are the ribs and the kids love the Mac and cheese

We got there 30 minutes before closing. They were very accommodating and served up a great meal. We had brisket, salad and waffle sweet potato fries (their specialty). Everything was excellent, well prepared and fresh. We were very surprised how the unpretentious decor contrasted with the excellent food. Really looking forward to going back and trying other items. read more

We are new to roy and we have eaten here at lest 15 times in the past 5 months. So far we have Burgers, all of there meats, and ribs. Fries are the best side in my opinion there a batter fry. Try the spicy bbq sauce on some of there ribs and you won't complain. Staff is always friendly and always helpful. read more

Food is just ok. They still use styrofoam packaging for their orders. The staff is not the most pleasant when you call.

This is my favorite breakfast location. I recently had a bad experience with another breakfast place in my area, and decided to try out Jim Bob's to see what it was like. HOLY COW. this place has the best chicken fried steak and the most delicious French toast. Their coffee is to die for and I am so impressed with every single burger they serve. If this isn't a place you've been to, try it out. read more

OMGOSH.... not good. Didn't expect a do it yourself ordering nor the frankly sub par food. Big place should be doing it different . Nice people but not going back. Has decent reviews so I expected better food . read more

Stopped here after a day at Mount Rainier and it hit the spot. The barbecue brisket is really good. Lots of variety on the menu, and a small town feel. read more

Thems some mighty-good tastin' vittles at Jim Bob's Chuckwagon. I've had breakfast, lunch and dinner and it's all been good. I et so much I was walking like I just got off a buckin' bronc after. I recommend this place for good food and lots of it, especially if you have a hankerin' fer barbecue read more

Cashier was not very personable at all. My tip (had I left one) would have been "smile, make your customers feel wanted and welcome." My chopped brisket was served luke warm. And when the server brought out our food she said "I have to go back and get silverware, I only have two hands ". Which was fine but she only brought silverware for my spouse....I guess I was supposed to eat my chopped brisket that fell out of my bun with my fingers....? Staff should welcome customers and thank them for coming in when they leave. At least that's my opinion for a successful business. But then maybe they are fine with the customers they have and don't want more. read more

First time diner at Jim Bob's. As an old Texican the BBQ was competition quality. Baby backs were fall off the bone tender, pulled pork was still moist and the sides were awesome (good bbq beans). Had lunch then got to go for the family read more

Great food, but when we walked in we thought it was going to be a normal sit down, waitress comings to you to get your order type of thing, it's not. You have to place your order then go sit down like Burger King if you went inside. Just be aware of that. We have The Rancher Special and it was great, staff was great as well. read more

This is the 2nd time we have been in and the BBQ has gone to hell. Had the rib plate again and this meat was hard, burnt and dry where you could only swallow it with BBQ sauce on it. The ribs were good before so I'm not sure what is going on here. What a shame to see this place tank. read more

Oh. My. God. Y'all. This is some real southern bbq that I've been looking for since I moved to Washington. The brisket is delicious and the 6 sides we got were wonderful. No complaints. The sweet potato waffle fries were the best I've ever had. I'll definitely come back to this place. read more

Me and my mom went here because we've lived in the area for years and never tried the food. I wish I never did. We got the 1 meat plate. Food was extremely bland. Sliced brisket was dry. The only good thing I can say was the roll and the bbq sauce. The fried okra tasted like it was frozen then just deep fried so, it had the slimy texture. Never will go there again. I am only putting 1 star because that's the only way I can give a review. This deserves a zero. DO NOT waste your money or time. read more

Food was delicious we had the full rack of ribs and 2 sides Mac and cheese, and beans. I would've given it a 5 star but they over did it with the BBQ sauce. I suggest to ask how much sauce (light,medium,lots or at the side). read more
