In Short – Abandon hope, all vegetarians who enter here. Besides the scrumptious coleslaw, there's scarcely a speck of green around--except for the scraggly lawn outside, where there are picnic tables and a view of Mount Rainier across a busy highway. Load up on juicy cubes of beef or pork, plus pork ribs, Polish sausage and chicken, all alder-smoked. Dinners come with baked beans, plus potato salad or coleslaw.
Editor's Tips
- On the Menu:
- Don't skip the intoxicatingly sweet Bootlegger Pudding with butterscotch whiskey sauce.

RUN AWAY WHILE U CAN!
by lovebug8800 at Citysearch
I heard about cave man from a friend so I just had to go get me some grub...Big mistake! the trash was overflowing onto the ground and smelled horrible!!!! As if that wasnt bad enough flies were buzzing and landing all around me like a alfred hitchcock film. At this point my food had already been orderd so I had little choice since I didnt want to waste my money in this enonomy. if my gut had not been weakened by the smell I would have listened to it! beans tasted plain, but what got me was that my chicken was raw! gross!!! i'm never eating here again.

Don't Eat Here...Ever
by flutergirl1022 at Citysearch
Instead of this place, try Pig Iron BBQ in Georgetown.
As a Texas transplant, I'm always excited to discover a new BBQ place. ...But I should have seen the warning signs here. When I got out of the car it smelled terrible--the trash was overflowing and looked like it hadn't been picked up in a couple of weeks. Once I'd ordered I went to get my drink and the drink machine had exposed parts and not enough ice. The food itself was atrocious. The beans seemed like they came stright from a can--too many onions, not enough meat and very, very mushy. The coleslaw was swimming in mayonaise--very little cabbage and carrots. The sandwich (BBQ beef) was served with way too much sauce--leading me to think "why are they hiding the meat?"--the meat itself was very dry, not smoked and sliced too thin.
I only ate a few bites and had half of a mind to go back and ask for a refund.
The only upside of this experience was that the counter help was friendly and the food was served quickly. But I would have been very glad to wait for better quality.

Excellent sandwich
by My name is G at Citysearch
I’ve been going to this restaurant since 1980. It’s had its share of ups and downs. However, 2 weeks ago I tried a poorboy sandwich and wow, it was the best I’ve ever had!!! They put whole leaf lettuce on it and the sauce was excellent and the price was reasonable. I give this place 5 out of 5 stars – Enjoy.

Is now CK's Smokehouse
by THEQUEEN at Citysearch
They're reopened under a new name CK's Smokehouse (family issues taking on the old name) but it's the same family recipes with a 3rd generation grand daughter now running the place. It's just as good if not better!!! Open 7 days a week, 10:30 - 8 Thank you Marlis, your grandfather would be proud!

They have lost it
by Sarnel at Citysearch
The Caveman Kitchen used to be very good when the original owner was still alive. They have lost the technique he had for ribs. I bought a pound of ribs today and they were the toughest I have had anywhere. I could not eat them, and threw them away. Awful. This is so sad. The Caveman used to be the best little rib joint in Kent. Those days are over. I have never had such lousy ribs, and the price was not cheap. Fool me once..shame on you. Fool me twice....well...you won't fool me twice.
- Pros: Good beans
- Cons: Terrible ribs
