Ramblin Jack's in downtown Olympia is our favorite place. We've been eating there for over ten years and have never been disappointed. The waitstaff are personable and the food is great. My favorites are the baby back ribs and the butternut squash ravioli. They are always willing to substitute sides too. I don't believe that they take reservations (except for... more

We ate at Ramblin Jacks this week... the Pepperoni pizza was like a cheap frozen pizza and the filet mignon medallions were as tough as cheap steak. I just prepared my own Filet for dinner tonight with meat I purchased at Costo and it was delicious and tender! more

I was meeting some friends in Olympia for dinner and because neither of us had been to the area before, we relied on TripAdvisor to find a suitable place to eat that was child-friendly. Ramblin' Jacks seemed like a suitable place to eat based on the reviews other had left. We showed up to the restaurant and were REFUSED a... more

The food here is wonderful! I would make this place a regular place if it wasn't over my budget. It's a good place for special occasions. Great service and great food. Never disappointed. more

This eclectic restaurant sure has a lot of options: comfort food, southern style, including barbecue; Asian-inspired dishes; pasta; sandwiches; and many vegetarian options. I enjoyed it and would definitely go back. I had a butternut squash ravioli recently that suffered a bit from a too-generous amount of cream sauce. But the ravioli had a distinct, robust butternut taste, and walnuts... more

Ramblin' Jacks is filthy, the atmosphere is terrible, and the "home made desserts" are microwaved. For the price I would expect more bang for my buck, you can probably get a better meal from jack in the box. It is truly some of the worst food in town. more

We had dinner at Ramblin Jacks, looking to try something different. We came out with a lot less money in our wallet and no satisfaction with the meal. The ribs were close to the worst I've ever had. They were so tough and tasteless that I couldn't even eat them. The waitstaff could have cared less. From our experience with... more

I love this place! Been coming here for years, we always bring out of town guests here and they always rave. The atmosphere is great, the service is always good, the food delectable. Oh and what i would do for a look at the barbeque sauce recipe, I've tried time and time again and just can't come close. They have... more
