I was not particularly impressed with this place. Maybe my expectations were wrong or too high, but I thought I would be walking into a normal, but higher in a butcher shop. What I found was a bunch of prepackaged and frozen meats. Not what I was looking for at all. Also, the gentleman behind the counter was very dry and really seemed like he was irritated to have to be working. read more

189 dollars for a frozen 20 pound "organic" turkey when paying for fresh. Yikes! Knowing I would be out of town for a medical procedure the days before Thanksgiving, I ordered an organic fresh turkey that my husband could pick up two days before Thanksgiving. He brought it home in its box and put it in our refrigerator. The morning of Thanksgiving, I removed the packaging and the inside of the turkey was solid ice. I had to use an ice pick and running water to remove as much as I could. Since our guests were coming at 2:00, it was clear that there was no way this turkey would be cooked on time. By 4:00, the juices were still running red. Finally at 4:30 the thermometer showed 165. We let it set for a half an hour and cut into the breast. It was so dry on the outside you couldn't swallow it. The only edible meat was in the lower thigh area. My husband has been in twice asking for an explanation, assuming they would want to make this right. The young man said he didn't know anything about where the turkey came from or how this happened. My husband asked for the manager to call him. No call within a week, so he went back. Still no manager, but another customer was in there extremely unhappy with his service. At this point, my husband asked why the manager was never there and the other customer said, "Oh no, she's never here." The young man at the counter said he did pass on the information to her, but she was too busy to call him. This is completely unacceptable service, and we are left wondering: if our turkey wasn't fresh, maybe it wasn't organic either? No one could tell us where it came from, so it's hard to know. We will never shop here again. read more

Wish I could give this place 10 stars but 5 will have to do. Eating the steak as I'm literally typing this. Give this place a shot. Keep up the amazing work! read more

I love buying any cut or type of meat here. This place hasn't disappointed yet and they have discounts on frozen meats and sometimes on fresh meats. I appreciate knowing where the meat comes from and consider myself blessed to have a butcher shop close to our house. They don't take cash for safety reasons so be sure to have a card on you. I believe they have 15% off on most meats every second Tuesday of the month. I could be wrong. FYI I typically buy my steaks here and they are to die for. read more

We found Heritage Meats while searching for Grass-fed, Grass-finished beef... and we have not been disappointed. We wanted to be able to get certain cuts and now have 2 beef subscriptions that we receive each and every month! We also LOVE their natural uncured bacon that has amazing flavor and cooks up wonderfully. This is not available on subscription or to order online but is usually available when we go to pick up our monthly subscription. The employee's are kind and professional. We have had detailed conversation with the Operations Manager who was able to provide so much information about their processing and the different cuts of meat. The store is clean and organized. I love that each cut is individually vacuum packed and already frozen. We are so happy that we found Heritage! So are the people we have referred! read more

From a 619 pounds hanging weight 2.5 years old beef type bull in top condition, we got 370 pounds of meat which is a yield of barely 60%. On the order form we requested as much stew meat as possible. We got 13 pounds of stew meat and 138 pounds of hamburger. We also requested the hamburger be lean. It is at best 80-20, course ground, with lots of connective tissue. The second bite of my first hamburger had a chunk of grizzle, no exaggeration, one inch long and a half inch wide. They ruined a large percentage of the meat I wanted for stewing because, as I would guess, it's so much faster and easier to throw large chunks in the grinder than do it right by cutting and wrapping. I saw their copy of my order form and it said "lots" for stew meat and "lean" for hamburger so there wasn't a miscommunication problem with my order. I asked for boxes in my order and was told, exact words, "It is boxed up and ready to go." It wasn't boxed when we arrived. They did box it for free. I asked the woman at the counter politely about the hamburger and was given an unacceptable meaningless explanation. After weighing it, I calmly called and was told I would receive a call from a manager. I didn't. Clean shop with friendly people and well wrapped/packaged meat though. read more

Heritage Meats - Grizzle in hamburger. - Meat Shops Near Me - Rochester, Washington

I first found meat from Heritage at the Oly Food Coop. I was blown away at the taste and quality of the meat. I knew that with surgery last year I wanted to have a stash in the freezer for the recovery period so I drove down to Rochester to pick up some pork chops. Since it was my first time I hadn't thought about calling an order in so I had to wait a little bit while it was prepared. For special orders you can decide how you want the meat packaged up - so I opted for two chops in a vacuum pack bag. While waiting I found some packs of sausages in a freezer and grabbed a couple of them to add to my order. In less than 10 minutes from walking in I was walking out with my order. Service was quick and friendly. I will definitely be back, though I might call my order in to make it even quicker. read more

Just start to finish subpar. Was hoping to do business with them but not after the boondoggle with the frozen turkey the day before Thanksgiving please. Which could've been resolved if you would've asked frozen or thawed. read more

I wish I lived closer to take advantage for a such a great place - I would never buy from a super market again. Lets start with the great customer service and welcome when I came in - employees were nice and this time I got some of the jerky (mix of a couple different types: teriyaki, bloody mary etc) even have lollipops for the kids while dad is trying to pick out a Ribeye! Looking forward to coming back again! read more

I've been in for about four visits. I purchased a ribeye this last visit and the meat was really tuff and I've experienced this with other prime cuts in the past which is disappointing because I live close by. The bloody Bloody Mary jerky they made with skirt steak was amazing. If I went back it would only be for the jerky. The service is also great. I don't know where there meats is sourced from. I wished the quality was on par with the pricing. I would be there every week. read more

I purchased my first (and last) custom package of meats from Heritage over two weeks ago and it was finally completed and available today. I was told by Ashlee at the time that I made my purchase that it would be available in a week. I called on the Tuesday following and she told me that it would probably be ready later in the week. When I hadn't heard back by Thursday I called and was told that it would definitely be ready the following week on Tuesday (today). When I picked up the order I didn't bother to check to see if the box had a packing slip inside, I guess I sort of assumed there would be one since this was a custom order. When I got home I opened the box and found none. Since I have an electronic postal scale I decided to weigh the box of meat and it came up to only 28 pounds 7 oz. It was supposed to be 30 lbs. total weight excluding the weight of the box! I would have thought that if anything it might be slightly over but was very disappointed to see this. I will NOT be returning here for future purchases. read more

I've been to the shop a fe times. I have always had great customer service and received great product. Something about the way they smoke their bacon is amazing. Awith that being said I have to say I was super disappointed to see an employee driving their truck on i5 south near exit 122 texting during heavy traffic. We were next to him for a good five minutes while he was clearly carrying on a text conversation. read more
