Ramblin Jacks has quickly become a regular choice for us despite it a being a bit of a drive and having no other reason to come this direction from Castle Rock. The menu offerings are standard for a place like this, but "typical" they're not! We love the cozy atmosphere and one of these days, I'm going to try a bag of those locally made mints they're selling in the cute gift area! Everything we've ordered has been on point, The prices are, competitive, dining room and restrooms are clean, the staff is friendly and they do a great job. Next time, I'll try to remember to take photos! read more

We met friends here. Honestly, I probably would never have stopped here if not for them. I have passed the spot often but just never stopped. The food was good. They have their own seasoning and you have to try it. It is pretty good. So good that I took a picture of it! The service was good. Definitely stop by when you're passing through. read more

I see this place with a HUGE ribeye sign everyone I drive up north to Lucky Eagle , I hit a jackpot & thought to myself head to the place with the big sign. Glad I did , the steaks were all priced good & they automatically come with potato & veggies. I got the New York strip & it was grilled to perfection. I sat in the lounge , there is pull tabs if you wave to try to win some $. I'll definitely be back. read more

We eat here frequently going from PDX to Seattle, easy decent half way point. Tonight was not quite as good as we're used to. Our server seemed put out that we were there. Took quite a while to greet us, and wouldn't take our order, because "she had other tables." Ok We both had ribeye s - they were seasoned well. But 2/3 of mine was RARE, not medium rare. I wasn't going to send it back based on our servers enthusiasm. Next time there ill order it medium. The good side- the veggies and mashed potatoes were great! read more

Rambling Jacks Rib Eye - Our Always-Stop Spot on the Way to Seattle We stopped in for a late breakfast on our drive to Seattle and, as usual, it did not disappoint. My husband ordered the cinnamon roll French toast and I went with the Ranch Hand scramble. We split both (highly recommend doing this if you can't decide), and the portions were so generous that more than half of my scramble came home with us. What's impressive is that with portions this big, you'd expect something to give on quality -- but not here. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere is part of what keeps us coming back. The restaurant has that cozy, rustic charm and there's a cute little gift shop up front that's impossible to walk past without browsing. This time we grabbed some Valentine's white chocolates to take on the road -- such a fun touch. This has become one of our must-stop traditions to and from Seattle, and it's consistently worth it every single time. read more

We make the commute Kent to Vancouver frequently and this is a great halfway stop. We love eating in the bar and watching either football or baseball. We never seem to eat the same thing twice, but the food is always good and servings often too large to finish. Recently we sat in the main dining area. Service was great, but rushed. Their booths are super comfy, but it is busy and loud. We really like it here, but you will find us back in the bar next time lol. read more

While the ambiance was sorta fun and the waitresses were very kind, the meat itself was downright terrible. My husband ordered a medium rare rib eye and it had so much gristle and fat he barely ate but a few bites. The waitress was apologetic and gave us a huge cinnamon roll but we won't go back. Sorry, wanted to love it but couldn't. read more

Service was remarkably quick, and the food great too! If you need a quick bite thats more than just a bite while you're heading up or down the freeway, you need to stop in here. We stopped in on our way south from Seattle. The fried pickles are plentiful and fully on point. I had the tri tip steak and eggs, subbed mashed potatoes for the hash browns. The tri tip was very good, but they only serve it medium well here. Our table also had a rare smoked ribeye and word was it was excellent. The ambience is non assuming and very friendly staff. A full bar in the back with the full menu is available as well. read more

Ramblin Jacks Rib Eye - Tri tip steak and eggs, subbed the hash browns for mashed potatoes. - Steakhouses Near Me - Chehalis, Washington

We have been here several times and at first the food was good. The service has never been good. I like the looks of the restaurant but the wait staff leaves a lot to be desired. The waitresses are rude and slow. They never check on your table. The last time we were there our waitress got all of our orders wrong. They have raised their prices now to way more than they should be. I would rather go to McDonals which thankfully is just across the street. The one and only thing that was wonderful on their menu was the deep fried green beans and now they are no longer an option so I guess we will look for another place to eat. Too bad I heard it was really good at one time. Times have changed. read more

We are here for Mother's Day. After church it was very busy! But we were seated in 10 minutes.we both had chicken fried steak. One breakfast meal was excellent!I had the chicken fried steak dinner. That was great too read more

After passing by a few times whilst visiting Oregon over the past few years, we decided to make a point to try this restaurant intentionally. It was a good decision! The signboard is visible from the i5 highway on the East side. Hard to miss the "Rib Eye" signboard. Parking was aplenty although the area is quite dark so drive carefully. The inside of the restaurant was laid out like a typical diner with booths and tables. Long kitchen counter. Some metal art decor in the windows and chandelier lighting. Some souvenirs like sweatshirts, t-shirts and hats were sold at a corner. Quite a variety offered in the menu but of course we had to get the rib eye. Main choice of the "normal" grilled cowboy ribeye or the smoked ribeye. Each plate came with roasted vegetables (delicious) and a choice of mashed potatoes, baked, or fries. The mashed and fries were very good! Both styles of ribeye were tasty, done to our choices, and sizable. Make sure to come hungry. Prices were very reasonable for the quality of food and we would visit more if not for the 2h to get here from home. This is surely a great part of a road trip down south, or coming back north for us! read more

Food was good. Service was good also. Decent atmosphere and you can always go into the bar for a drink afterwards. Bartender was nice.

Great service, although the staff appears overwhelmed as they are trying to cover too many tables at once. I considered giving a 4 star just to ding management for not having enough staff on hand, but in this economy and in that location, I can understand the difficulty. Coffee was hot and perfect. Big, tasty portions for great prices. Worth the drive from Olympia. read more

Had a ham and cheese omlet with my wife having one too with hash browns.What a let down! The ham looked like very small pellets of ham with very little cheese! Overall portions are smaller but price is the same. Waiter wouldn't respond to the complaint. What a let down! read more

Chili burger was tasteless. My son's Mac n cheese had very little cheese flavor. The only meal that was deemed satisfactory was my wife's small turkey dinner. The food was ok, just not anything I would recommend to anyone. read more

We always drive past this place during our drives from Portland and back to home, so we've been wanting to try it out. Tonight we had a need for steak and didn't want to go to Outback for their over salted steaks, so to Ribeye we drove. We came at 8pm, which was an hour before closing, and the place was half full so there was a nice casual, non-busy air about the place. We got the cowboy ribeye and it was nicely seasoned. We split the plate and the waitress was nice enough to give us an extra plate. We also got the sweet potato fries with ranch and it was lovely. Our waitress was nice, but looked liked shed had a long day, so God bless her. We finished by splitting a Dutch apple pie a la mode. We got a really solid meal and we really liked the place. It's kinda towny and a little sad but I liked that about this place. It's a little pricey, but what legit steakhouse isn't? Will definitely come back the next time we have a yen for steak. read more

Love this place every time we drive south the wife and I try to stop. Comfy place with some grub food and great service! Highly recommend if you're in the area or passing through. read more

Bright, cheerful, busy country-themed diner, conveniently located just off I-5 in Chehalis. Ample portions of good food. We went during breakfast, and our server managed to meet all our needs despite clearly being very busy with the breakfast rush. The large menu has lots of great choices -- we chose the blueberry flat cakes, which were light and fluffy, and the wonderfully savory pulled pork and eggs. Just about as good as a breakfast can be. The one weak point in the experience was the coffee -- and I mean it was literally too weak for my taste. Other than that, 5 stars all around! read more

Ok I'm bumping this place up a star after trying a second time. This time we were seated in a cleaner spot, no decor to clutter or dust, although the blinding sun was hard so we sat together in our booth, no biggie. I got the pulled pork and he got the tri tip. The pulled pork was DELICIOUS. His tri tip was very tough. We were going to share but after taking a bite of his, I stuck to mine. Our server was again very pleasant and friendly, good staff here. We will be back again! Still want to try the prime rib but dang that pulled pork was good. read more

Service was good. Two of us ordered the country fried steak. It was literally a plate of gravy! Can't imagine why anyone would completely SMOTHER the entire plate with gravy. The taste of the steak itself was good. The salad was very good. Fried potatoes as an appetizer is a good choice...just drizzle with ranch and it's perfect! read more

Long story short, took a girl here on our first date who turned out to be my wife 11 months later. Revisited it on the way through from Portland, because I remembered nothing about the food then. Good and polite service, food portions were big and really tasty. We had fried pickles and the old fashioned ground steak. The pickles were awesome and the ground steak was tasty and fulfilling and I would be happy to stop at this place again. You see it from the highway driving down I5, if you are looking for a simple but tasty meal that won't break the bank you need to stop in! read more

The food here is always delicious, good down home cooking. Service was wonderful also. We brought our one hundred year old mother here and then waited a few minutes for someone else to Join us. Server was kind and very patient, easy place to go with folks of all ages. read more

We come every Friday night for dinner. Over the past few weeks I decided to try the rib eye, NY and tri-tip. I figured they had to be great, hence the name of the restaurant . I was so wrong and what a disappointment. I ordered medium rare and medium would have been acceptable, but instead every one of them came overcooked, dry, and flavorless. I won't waste my money again On the good side, their meatloaf, burgers, chicken fried steak and hot turkey sandwich are amazing and the service is top notch. Fix your steaks please! read more

Really nice stop for lunch. We were passing through and landed here for lunch. The food was excellent, the portions were exceptional, and the service was great. I would suggest a stop here. I had the BBQ tri tip =sandwich with fries and it was yummy. Finished it off with a Marion berry cream pie which was delicious. read more

I judge a restaurant by the quality of their green salad. Great salad! Quality ingredients and ranch dressing is the best! Soups are homemade and fantastic. Rather than stop at one of the area fast food restaurants for lunch, I will call-in a soup and salad for take-out. $10! Can't beat a healthier fast lunch option. read more

Ate here a week ago and had smoked tri-tip and eggs = Excellent! Good coffee, too. Coming back, my wife and I tried it again, with Smoked Ribeye steak and baked potato. Their pies are the best! read more

Everything was excellent today. Always friendly prompt service. There is truck Parking so we stop whenever we're in the area. Boneless Fried chicken dinner is my favorite and the cinnamon French toast is a winner as well. The peanut butter pie is to die for. read more

I was unable to chew and swallow the rib eye steak. My husband tried it and he said it was a poor cut of meat. He also didn't like his fried chicken because it was bland. We ended up leaving most of the food on our plates and going to find something better. read more

Everything at Ramen Jack's ribeye is amazing. The food is always hot and tasty. The decor is absolutely cute. The staff is friendly and the service is quick. If you don't like eating in the restaurant, you can always go into the bar area and watch some sort of sports as you have your dinner. And I have to say the drinks are great too. This is our favorite place to eat. read more

Tri-Tip sandwich my drug of choice today at Ramblin Jack's Rib Eye. Basically Truck Stop dining at it's finest for those on the freeway of life. This is not a MICHELIN restaurant but for the BLUE COLLAR drivers on I-5 its the next best thing, If you want it hot, deep fried & brown this is your oasis for food. I've dined a few times through the years while traveling but yet to try the rib eye but all my meals have been tasty and hit the spot. Chicken Fried Steak was just what Frank needed on his last trip so if your a fan load up. Most notable item about this place is the location being it's a few hundred yards away "Uncle Sam Billboard"! You can marvel at it from across the street with it's message of love & hope for America. MAKEING AMERICAN FOOD GREAT AGAIN read more

Ramblin Jacks Rib Eye - Tri Tip Dip & fries - Steakhouses Near Me - Chehalis, Washington

Sort of a hidden gem in many ways. Nothing fancy about this steak house. Service was amazing deep fried pickles were hot and fresh. My dining companions had the tri tip they said flavorful and perfect size (small plate). I had the 16oz ribeye rare our server reassured me rare. Unfortunately it started out rare but as the meat rested it became medium. I mentioned and they would replace it. That's a huge waste and said no. More like a FYI. Also had a burned charcoal taste like the grill was not cleaned well. Am not a dealbreaker but a good FYI. Came with a nicely seasoned vegetable medley personally a bit over cooked but just me. Salad was good an size for a side. Wonderfully home made blu cheese dressing. Highlight was bread pudding. We think it's their day old cinnamon buns. Whatever it was excellent. When we're back in town and need a steak we'll stop read more

This place has been around for years. I have always liked this place. I dropped in for some breakfast as Spiffys up the road was closed. I got the ham and cheese omelette and added mushrooms, onion and green peppers to it. I do have d to say that it was really good and steaming hot when I got it. The hashbrowns were pretty dog gone good too. She got the biscuits and gravy with an egg and it look and tasted good. Our waitress was very polite and checked in on us frequently. Next time I am driving up or down I-5 I will be sure to stop in again. read more
