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.

Today, I knew I would be driving through, so I decided to check this place out. I'd looked at the website and felt confident I would find at least one item to sample and take with me. I was greeted by a young woman who was very friendly. She pointed out the selection and asked if I was looking for anything in particular. I told her I was interested in Hot Links; she asked if I wanted fresh or smoked. I advised Smoked and when she checked, they were sold out. At that point, I decided to settle for fresh and when we looked there, again they were sold out. I don't know if the links are that good, or if they just aren't gifted at managing their inventory. It's Friday and I'd like to believe you want everything stocked going into a weekend. At that point, I asked about Jerky, she handed me a pack, but I passed. It had brown sugar, which the cheap grocery store jerky's have. Meat is savory, not sweet, if you want sweet jerky, then add it to teriyaki, but plain jerky should have very little if any sugar in my opinion. I would have considered this a bust, but I was headed up the road to Blue Max anyway and they have the best jerky in the region in my opinion, unfortunately their hot link is more of a spicy hot dog than traditional Louisiana Red.

The line was long when we arrived, but it moved surprisingly fast, making the wait well worth it. Inside, there's a small café area where you can enjoy your food, along with a selection of their housemade cheeses available for purchase. One of the coolest features is the huge viewing windows that let you watch the cheesemakers at work, giving you a firsthand look at how their famous cheeses are made. We ordered the small Mariachi Mac & Cheese and the grilled cheese sandwich. The grilled cheese was outstanding--the bread was toasted to perfection with a crispy, golden crust, while the cheese inside was gooey, rich, lightly salted, and absolutely delicious. The Mariachi Mac & Cheese was equally impressive. It was creamy, flavorful and had a wonderful smoky spice that elevated the dish without overpowering it. Every bite was comforting and packed with flavor. If you're visiting Pike Place Market, Beecher's is a must-try. Freshly made cheese, delicious comfort food, and the opportunity to watch the cheesemaking process make it a memorable Seattle food experience.

Food: (4/5) I'm not the biggest fan of mac and cheese in general because it gives me flavor fatigue sooo fast, but this one was really good! I've had Beechers at the famous Pike location many years ago and don't remember it being so delicious. I have no idea what exactly my partner ordered, but it was soo creamy and just the right amount of cheesy. It was so steamy that it stayed hot for a good amount of our flight as well. This is definitely something I would like to start getting more often, especially as a comfort food before something that can be physically taxing like a long flight.

They essentially have premade sandwiches that they toast up when ordered so freshness could be questionable, but it does speed up the wait a little bit. As for the wait, it can take quite a while, but again as airport kiosks go, it seems par for the course during a rush. There's a lot of seating right across from the kiosk but it was completely full when I was there, so I went to my gate to devour my hot and greasy sandwich. If I'm ever in Sea-tac again, I think I'll get the mac and cheese instead.
