I have been a customer at Ramblin' Jack's basically since they opened. I like the people and the atmosphere. The staff is friendly and not pushy over specials, etc. I had an incident one time with one staff member on an extremely busy night and we were both crabby, so to be fair part of the fault was mine; and the manager not only dealt with the situation promptly but followed up with me and insisted on "the house" buying my dinner on a subsequent night. Going in there as a woman dining alone, I almost always sit in the bar with a book and it isn't a "meat market" atmosphere, it's very comfortable and hospitable. Boy...this makes me want to run down there for a Cosmo right now! My favorite dishes: Thai chicken pizza, cowgirl salad (add pulled pork), and shepherd's pie on a cold rainy night. The long-time manager knows you by name if you go in very often and always makes a point to stop by the table and say hello; unfortunately, he's going to manage their new place at the mall when it opens so I hope the environment stays positive after he transfers - or maybe I'll just have to start going there!

Ramblin Jacks is my favorite restaurant in downtown Oly. The food leans towards southern-style fare, but other menu items offer some exotic variety for those who want something like Thai pizza. The cheese grits are to die for, as is their roaasted ravioli and italian chop salad. All the bbq is great as well. The ambiance is nice, especially in the bar.
