I came across Jimmy Mac's almost accidentally on a recent family trip to Seattle. Because it was a family trip and we had a bunch of kids with us, we ended up staying in Renton. Nice surprise. I come from So. Cal. where there's more than enough "theme" chains to go around. Jimmy Mac's wasn't anything like those. It's a very informal place to get grub (yes, throw your peanut shells on the floor). Great for adults and kids.
The food is outstanding. The crayfish chowder requires a special mention. I'm a clam chowder freak and that's pretty much all I eat when I'm up in the Pacific Northwest. Jimmy Mac's crayfish chowder is a nice change of pace. I could live off of that stuff. It's a creamy concoction of cream, potatoes and succulent pieces of crawdad meat. The perfect thing for a cold rainy day in Seattle.
