The first review I saw for this business was, "A Little High, But Worth It". I got a pack of…read morehotlinks and a pack of jerky and it was about $32. I agree it was high. I am assuming it was a pound of links and a half pound of jerky. $25 would have been a fair price. I love Oberto products and there links are $8 per pound and the jerky is about $30. These links were spicy. Nowhere near as hot as I expected, but certainly hotter than 90% of what I find with most butchers. I could have used a little more salt, but overall, a decent link. The jerky was also decent, I wish I would have read the package before buying they. They use brown sugar and I don't like sweet and meat. Jerky should be smokey, salty and peppery. If you like you jerky sweet, then teriyaki or honey habanero should be your choice. Truth be told, when given the option, I always go with sugar free jerky. It's meat, not candy. I saw these guys at the Farmers Market and they had samples of most of what they sold, but not all varieties. So I sampled jerky, but it was teriyaki. I also sample one of their pepperoni's. I want to try the spicy, but the sample was jalapeno cheddar if I recall. I didn't care for it. Overall, I'd give a 4 for flavor, but a 2 for price which overall would be 3. Their current score is 3.5 and had the prices been more competitive, I could see myself giving 3.5 and rounding up to 4.

Falling River Meats is one of those places I'm genuinely glad we have in town. I not only come here…read morefor meat but lunch or dinner as well, which says a lot. They offer clean cuts, good variety, and staff who actually know where the meat comes from and how it was raised. It feels intentional, not mass-market, and that's why I trust it when I'm cooking for my family. Their salads and sandwiches are an easy go-to, and on weekends the smash burgers are worth planning around. Simple, well-seasoned, cooked right. No gimmicks. I'll usually grab a burger here and then walk next door for a beer at Volition Brewing, which makes for a pretty great low-effort lunch or dinner. They stock a ton of other things as well, worth stopping in when you're in town to see what they have. This place works because it's consistent. Whether I'm shopping for a special meal, stocking up for the week, or just grabbing something quick to eat, Falling River Meats always delivers.

Great roasts, steaks and burger meat. For more money, the prime and American Wagyu are beyond…read moreincredible! The small produce area has excellent tomatoes, onions and potatoes. And they carry some hard to find items like Werners Orange Slices (eating them always reminds me of happy days in my youth). They usually have game and exotic meats, too: bison, kangaroo, python, goat, pheasant, etc. Excellent service! And I like supporting local merchants, especially when they do such a great job! The ambiance, from the meat cleaver front door handle to the long rows of glassed in cases and the hearty welcome when you step inside, is like the butcher shops my Dad used to go to 60 years ago. I love this place. I prefer the Puyallup store, but the Buckley store is great, too. Just doesn't seem to have quite the selection.

I would walk a mile backwards on broken glass for a savory jerky and in the case of Blue Max, I…read morejust had to drive an hour. From the outside, the place doesn't look like much, but inside it's bright, tidy and warm. The person I encountered was really pleasant, chatted me up and offered me sample of all the items I inquired about. They had a serious selection of Jerky, pepperoni, smoked meats and fresh meats, not to mentions sauces, spice, etc. Personally, I don't like sweet meat. Too many places make jerky and add way too much sugar, molasses or honey. When I saw this place had Sugar free jerky, I knew I was in good hands. I tried the original and it was perfect, so much so, I didn't even bother with the sugar free, I'm sure it's good, but since I didn't detect any sugar in the original, I stuck with it and by the clerks testimony, there was very little sugar, so clearly it was not overwhelming. I also got the black pepper and the undisputed champ, Pioneer Jerky. When I saw that, I immediately had visions of covered wagons making their way from points eats in route to unsettled Buckley. Family's staking their claim and living off the fat of the land. Sure, that may be a bold take off a sample of jerky, but you get a taste and post your own tale of origin. The pepperoni was also flavorful, but I think I'm out of my pepperoni phase. I'm used to a dryer sausage with a case that snaps and no one does that anymore. I guess that has become the lanjager. They also had hot links and I have to say, the last few hotlinks I've bought have been terrible. They are more of a spicy hot dog than true flaming sausage. I flew to Oakalnd this summer just to ship sausage home because the place I found doesn't ship and those were the worst hotlinks I've ever had. I bought 4 different varieties and it all went in the trash once I tasted it. I'd give these links 10/10 on the heat scale. I have won heat based food challenges, so I'm no punk and the heat here was real. Most would tap out. The flavor wasn't bad, but it didn't taste like a Louisianan Hot Link. I'd go with Oberto over these. Oberto just has more of a sausage flavor where these are just hot minced meat. Some sage and sausage seasoning would go a long way to elevate these. Overall disappointed, but still giving the place 5/5 for service, selection and savoriness of most of what I tasted. It's rare to get this kind of service, quality and value. I wish this place was closer to Seattle, I would be a monthly shopper.

She said all of the beef cuts are grass fed. The quality was good. Very thick and fresh cuts. We got the rib eye. It was more expensive than qfc but supporting local small companies... Parking is easy and small but close. They also have good veggies and fruit! Once in a while, we get coupons in the mail -so watch out for those! I used to go more often but often find myself going to qfc for other stuff...then I got lazy and didn't want to go to multiple places to get stuff. I should go more often though!

Not cheap but if you're looking for a great piece of meat, you pay the price for quality. One of the butchers tied it up for me and even seasoned it and gave me some recommendations. I put it on the smoker in the next day and it wasn't an incredible piece of meat. Everyone loved it and raved about it. Definitely recommend this place for their assortment and customer service.

Wow. If you are looking for smoked or cured fish as a souvenir from Seattle, you better put down…read morethat kitschy boxed stuff and come here! The fish here tastes and smells like the high quality, flavorful, well-made stuff it is. The fish looks beautiful too. They let us try the regular smoked salmon, the garlic, and the candied. All superb. Be warned the candied stuff - heck, all of them are addicting. The cost may seem high, but it is completely justified. You aren't getting bottom of the barrel keta (translated from native tongue to "dog") fish or "pink" salmon (only 1 tier up), you're getting fresh fish. There was no hint of gross "fishy" smell before or after eating. (To make your salmon last longer, may I suggest enjoying your salmon with rice and veggies, or in a sandwich?) They also sell high quality pork, beef, chicken, and other things in the freezer like sausage, duck, cheese. They also have pretty nicely priced wines for sale, from low $10s and up. Whites, reds, and bubblies. Highly recommend you make the side-tour to this joint for salmon. A fish dressed to impress that will win you praises.

You have to order ahead of time. There are certain boxes that they always offer. Any smart business would make sure to have those best sellers on hand in the back.
