Northwest Dive Club

Hi
Billy McHale's is no longer an option for post-dive eating at Redondo. Closed down. I know some of you weren't fans, due to lack of selection, but it did have a few good items, and there aren't many options in that area.

I did find that there's an El Rinconsito nearby though! This is another location of the same good Mexican place that can be found near Three Tree... (the place where the Mexicans eat!) http://www.elrinconsito.com/ Only bad part is they don't serve beer. They have some really good juices though.

Anybody else have any options they like in the area? Some people have been going to the Ram?

Eric,
Billy McHale's moved down behind Total Wine (Pacific Hwy / 234th).

Gdog, EJ, Scoobie and I ate there after our dives on Friday. Mixed reviews: same beer selection, no Burger of the Gods, loud and annoying music (unless you're Scoobie).

It was a Friday so we thought we'd go back on a Thursday and give them another chance. Tristan, the server, is still there but wasn't working on Friday.

I haven't seen any pics from last night. How'd it go?

If you come up the winding road on the north end of the site, when you get to the light where you have Safeway on your left, there is a small, grey strip mall with an excellent Thai restaurant in it. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name.

If you go north on Marine View Drive a couple of miles, there's a sushi place on the right (low, red building) which is also excellent.

We go into Des Moines > Red Robin. Gave up on Salty's a few years back. Tried it again a couple weeks ago. Naw.

If you're gonna go to Des Moines, I recommend Wally's Chowder House ... about a block up the road from the Red Robin. Just be prepared to wait a short while for a table. The food's fantastic ... especially the chowder. And they serve beer ...

+1 for Wally's, you want a 1 piece if your going for the fish and chips, unless you are really hungry. Unfortunately, I have developed a wheat intolerance, and I will be giving the Thai place a shot. Thank's Lynn!

Depends on what you are looking for. There are restaurants all over that area. You can find just about any sort of ethnic food you desire in that area. The black bear is a great place for lots of good American comfort food but I don't think they have booze. If your looking for socializing with beer and food you might try Jimmy Mac's Roadhouse - jimmymacsroadhouse.com‎ Steaks, prime rib, Texas BBQ, Crabcakes and unlimited peanuts! 34902 Pacific Hwy South, Federal Way, WA‎
(253) 874-6000 Fair warning it ain't cheap!

Jimmy Mac's is awesome! Similar to Billy McHale's, but the food's better ...

Both Wallys and Jimmy Macs sound good.
