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.

Growing up, Billy McHale's was probably the most underrated burger in town. It was smokey, savory…read moreand juicy. Locations stated to close and then Jimmy Macs started up. 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

Turns out that Wednesdays (at least right now) are happy hour all day specials, so that was nice. We shared the Brussels sprouts, poutine, spinach and artichoke dip, and the jalapeño flatbread. All of the food was delicious, but I especially enjoyed the taste of the spinach dip. 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. Great experience, the only thing missing was the mountain 'cause of some cloud coverage. Guess that means I'll have to come back!

Great view, ok food,…read more You can make reservations but the outdoor tables are first come first serve. The servers were nice but the food was very bland. We got the pasta, the mushroom chicken, and the salmon all of which was bland. The nonalcoholic drinks and desserts are not on a menu so you don't know how much they cost until the bill comes. The happy hour isn't as big of a discount as photographed on the menu on yelp, its only around $2 off. Overall it's not worth it in my opinion, it's pretty for the view but I wouldn't go again.

I was a little unsure of what to choose, because it all looked good, and the smoker was cranking out DELICIOUS SMELLS.... but he recommended the beef ribs. I picked the pasta salad and coleslaw for sides. The ribs were tender, but not falling apart mushy. Good mouthfeel. The smoke was perfect. NO LIquid Smoke yuckiness (IDK where some of these reviewers are used to eating to claim he's using that nasty stuff...) The saltiness was nice. Not AHA recommended sodium intake for cardiac health, but very tasty. The pasta salad was al dente shells with a flavorful blend of mustard, mayo, egg yolks, and seasoning. Quite good! The slaw was fine. I'd have preferred a bit of red onion to liven it up a bit more, but that's just my taste. The sauce was nicely balanced with the sweet, salty, savory, tangy. I hope they'll consider adding a spicy option! Servings were plenty for me to have lunch, and hubby and I to have a full dinner on one plate. Will absolutely go again!

Jack's serve brisket "Deckle-off" trimmed too deeply removing the natural "fat cap" that BBQ fans love. I know it's Seattle and not Austin, Texas - but I'm looking for the promised Texas vibe and not BBQ with all the flavorful fat cut off - at least let us request Texas-style for us native Texans. Only one forgetable rye available for an Old Fashioned cocktail. I expect a Texas bar to stock a few premium options like WhistlePig & Sazerac 6 year, or at least Nickel Rye as the well rye.

The menu is stacked... like "everything sounds good, how do I choose?" stacked. Tons of options, all legit BBQ comfort food. I went with the two-meat special: pulled pork and brisket, plus potato salad, beans, and a corn muffin. Every single thing slapped. Brisket was on point, pork was tender and smoky, and the sides were legit; not just filler. Others in our group had the brisket Reuben (big hit) and ribs, which disappeared fast, so yeah... that tells you something. Huge shoutout to Deborah--she was fantastic. Super friendly, walked us through the process, brought the food, checked on us, grabbed anything extra we needed. Old-school good service, which you don't always get anymore. If you're looking for fancy vibes and linen napkins, keep driving. But if you want killer BBQ, a clean spot, and great service? This is absolutely the place. Zero regrets. I'd go back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend.
