What People Are Saying About Cave Man Kitchens

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.
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
Get The Beans
by Hollyhockx1 at Citysearch
I have never been to Caveman Kitchens - too far away, but my son has, occasionally, brought some baked beans home to me.
I have been halfway around the world and have never tasted better baked beans. Large chunks of bacon and the sauce is great.
I just wish there was one of those restaurants here in Tacoma.
- Pros: Great Beans
- Cons: N\A
Bring your salmon here...
by kleinetiger at Citysearch
My family has brought their fresh caught salmon to Caveman since the 70s! You can't beat Caveman's smoking... YUM. It's been many years since I've personally been there, but for anyone who has grown up in Western Washington and has many many generations of family in Western Washington we know this is truely a local staple.
(All of you 21st century transplants not from Western Washington, go back home for your BBQ fixins, this place is for smokin'!)
- Pros: Custom Smoking
- Cons: hard to find
Great food! Great Sauce! Great Sides! Can't wait for more!!

This place is a little rough around the edges but has all the fixin's for great eats! They make everything from scratch and by hand so this is some down home cookin'! I've read some unfavorable reviews about the sauce but I think its wonderful-Compliments the meat without taking over the flavor! Genius!!! And the price that you pay for what you get is awesome too! An 8" sandwich with 2 sides for under $12, find that at Quiznos! I know they've been around for some time (70's?!!) for good reason and I hope they're around for alot longer! Come one come all!
- Pros: Even the decor is to love, can't get anymore "Caveman" than picinic tables indoors!
- Cons: Majority of parking is across the parking lot
Smoked Meats
by mrsdell at Citysearch
We ordered 37.5 lbs of smoked turkey and ham for my husbands employees for Thanksgiving and it was fantastic! We kept our fingers crossed because if the meat wasn't good, there was going to be alot of people very angry with us. Didn't order any sides so I can't say what those taste like but the meat was great. Overall, excellent smokiness - extremely reasonable - will be ordering meat for Thanksgiving again next year.
- Pros: Great flavor / Reasonable / Promised and delivered
- Cons: n/a
