I really like the idea of this restaurant. I'm a fan of pies, and this place has a decent selection, plus sausage rolls, another British delicacy that is not well supplied in the USA. The food quality is good (but see below), and the location is convenient (in the Seattle Center Armory). There are three problems. First, the selection of sides is a bit thin, and I often find myself wishing for more. Second, they don't have a simple British-style chicken and mushroom pie, but instead the much less appealing US version that has carrots, peas, etc. Most importantly, their food freshness is hit and miss. I've been there more than once and been served dry food that had clearly been sitting around too long. Still worth a try. Stick to busy times. read more

I come here as often as I can, I live in Portland, OR and I came in here one day and instantly was in love with the atmosphere and staff. The food came later and it held the standard for sure. I tend to get the chicken and Mac pies because together they are unbeatable. Andie has always taken care of me and is always so pleasant and attentive. If you can stop here please do and if you can't, please make time to do so. read more

If the Shepherd's Pie was bigger and not so bland, it would rock. But it is what it is. Not worth the $8 I paid. Thank the Jesus that my wife shared her lunch (St Patrick's Day corned beef samwich and tater salad from Bigfood BBQ) with me, otherwise I would have felt totally ripped off and pe-yossed. read more

Premier Meat Pies - Shepherd's Pie. $8.00. Sorry, not worth it. Too small and bland. Sunglasses are for scale. - British Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I'll be honest, this place caught at the name, as I'm a sucker for a good meat pie. The menu has a creative selection that gives options without being overwhelming. I had the Scottish barley pie, which was amazing even though it was so hot I burnt my mouth a little by eating too fast. The staff was friendly and flexible, even amidst the understandable hiccups of their first day open for business. The only downside was that my friend, who has an onion allergy, wasn't able to find anything to get, as all the pies had onion or onion powder in them. Strang allergy, but interesting every single time had the ingredient. The next time I'm in Seattle, I will definitely be coming again to try more of their pies (and Mac & cheese!). read more

Premier Meat Pies - First day open for business. Pies, pies and more pies! - British Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love meat pies, there's a little shop in NYC on First and 1st that will always hold a special place in my heart and so I'll try and not let that anchor my review for PMP. I really enjoyed the three pies we ordered here, which were the Shepherds, Curry Lamb, and Scottish. All were very tasty with somewhat moist innards and crispy outsides, somewhat. I thought the curry was the most flavorful of the bunch while the shepherds had the best filling. They aren't the best, maybe that's because we came "late" (7p) and they had been sitting on the heat rack for too long but mos def room for a little improvement. Honestly, one of the main reasons I'm giving this 4 instead of 3 stars is because they actually stayed open through and past the hours on Yelp and the guy working the counter was super friendly. read more

so I went here on a Friday night the food was amazing then went back the next day and the food was awful I don't know why maybe it was a different cook ..but the the person who gave me my food was very rude and refuse to remake the food I paid 69.00 for my food but he wanted to give me a 20.00 dollar gift card and a think I was supposed to be happy with that read more

Probably my favorite place in the food choices at the Armory. The meat pies are really good, rich and filling for the small stature. They also have really good dessert pies. The one that is really solid is the Elvis one with bacon, banana and chocolate . Super rich ! So, plan to share it and it get it with Ice cream if you really want to do it like the King. read more

The tater tots are out of this world. Sausage pie was good too, fresh out of the oven, made with greatness! They had a wide array of amazing meat pies as well, including a Guinness beef pie, which was recommended. I'll have to come try it next time. It's located near the winterfest music stage, which offers a great spot to enjoy the tunes of the season and people watch! read more

I was not expecting to see British style meat pies here in the Armory but it drew us in with its tantalizing smells and perfectly browned puff pastry! We had the Guinness steak pie with the pea salad. Perfect lunch treat! read more

Premier Meat Pies - British Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I came here for a lunch/snack during Folklife. I wasn't particularly drawn to any of the food stands outside and most of them had long lines. Premier Meat Pies had a fairly short line (though their seating area was mostly full), plus it sounded good, so that's where we ended up. I ate a Guiness Irish Stew Pie ($6.99), which had beef and vegetables (potato, carrot, onion) inside. I enjoyed the pie. I love beef stew, and having it inside a pie was an interesting variant because I have generally only eaten chicken pot pies in the past. Eating the pie with a fork was kind of awkward because of how flaky it was; I think if I come here again I'll just eat it with my hands. The pie tasted a bit too salty to me, but I've been mostly doing my own cooking lately and don't use much salt. Pies range in price from $5.99-$8.49 depending on the filling. While they look kind of small, they are hearty for the size. The Armory is somewhat overpriced in general, unfortunately. There are also sides available, such as salads and mashed potatoes. The sides are actually fairly large; the tater tots and mashed potatoes come in a paper "boat" that's bigger than the pies themselves. If you're on a budget, you can probably make a decent meal out of the sides here. They serve alcohol (beer and cider) though you have to stay in their little seating area to drink it. I don't know why a vegetarian in a food court would intentionally choose a place with "meat" in the name, but it looked like they had a few options that might have been vegetarian friendly (mac and cheese pie, broccoli slaw). Since I'm not vegetarian though I didn't ask to ensure there weren't any hidden meat ingredients. Good option in the Armory! I would not go out of my way to eat here (because I can get a lot more food for the price elsewhere) but may stop by again if I'm at Seattle Center and hungry. 3.5 but I'm rounding up here. read more

I was really stoked about trying this place while visiting Seattle. It was just fine as a grab and go option for picnicking outside. They had the food ready really quickly! (Our friends were standing in line FOREVER at the noodle place). Be forewarned though that the pies are fairly small so it is good to add sides or order multiples if you have an appetite. The Pea Salad $2.99 was creamy, fresh, and satisfying. The Shepherds Pie, Chicken Pie & Curry Lamb Pie ($6.99 each) were also good, but not something I was especially wowed by. I wish I would have been more adventurous and tried some of their other flavours! (I use the British spelling here due to the fact we are working with meat pies). read more

The Irish Stew pie was a pepper bomb & tasted like Mexican food. There was no warning of pepper & who puts green chilies in Irish stew? The beer flavor was weak too. My mouth was still burning half an hour later. The chicken pie was okay. About what I expect from Banquet, but $6 more. The crusts were fantastically nice & flaky, I'll give them that. read more

Really horrible service and soggy pies. Why be a vendor at the Highland Games and not be able take orders correctly?!?! $56 and every pie was wrong and under baked. Not alone in this, at least three people in front of me came back to get the right order and replaced the horribly under baked ones. read more

So, so good! The classic Scottish pie and the steak and mushroom!!! Wow. I'll drive from Oregon for this. And wonderful classic English pea salad. Highly recommend. read more

the Seattle pasties are outstanding! great friendly service from Kevin K. looking forward to coming back.

I had the chicken pot pie. It was very good, albeit easily broken, leading to a small mess on the plate. I also had the mashed potato with gravy side, which was also good (especially if you like gravy, as there was a lot of - I am not a huge gravy fan myself). The service was very fast and friendly. In my very limited opinion, it is definitely something you should check out if you are in the area. read more

Excellent customer service. Meat was tender and delicious. For a place called meat pies I was expecting more than four small cubes of meat. Disappointing. read more

I didn't get to eat here & that's the reason for this one star review. Their yelp account says they're open until 7pm. I double-checked because there were a few other eateries around the food court that was closed/closing. I also seen the employee that was working poke her head out from the back - it looked like she was checking to see if she had any customers - then disappeared to the back again. I walked up to the counter & noticed two things...1) a sign that said "Be back by 4:20" & it was currently 5:30 & 2) a silver bell to ring for service. However I didn't ring it because as I was about to she walked out from the back to the front seating area & started sweeping. Okay, that's fine because it's important to maintain cleanliness. But I had looked at her, made eye contact & I greeted her while she ignored me & continued to sweep. I left without ordering anything. read more

The people rating this place 4-5 stars must be high on something or lacking taste buds. Those are the only possible explanations. The pies are not freshly made. The cashier informed me of a delay in getting my order because the pies would have to be made from FROZEN. Speaking of which, the pies tasted eerily similar to the grocery bought ($1) frozen pot pies I grew up with. They were okay back then, but not in this case. I tried both the beef mushroom and lamb curry pies. The gravy in both pies were salty enough but totally lacking in the meaty depth of flavor in a good sauce/gravy. The curry pie was totally lacking in any kind of spicy kick. I really don't know how restaurants like this survive and even thrive. You can get far superior pies from your local grocer in the form of Marie Callendars frozen pot pies for a lot cheaper. No need to make a trip to Seattle Center. read more

I give them a one star because the service woman taking orders refused to give me a cup of water and said I had to buy a bottle of water. Tap water can not be refused to customers in WA if the venue sells alcohol which they do. I would ask the owner to train their employees to know the rules but especially to be kinder and nicer to customers, after all we are the people that generate their employment and pay. I went to this place 2 days in a row because I do think the pies are very good and would recommend. read more

Pretty solid choice when you need to eat and you're at the Seattle Center. Both the savory and sweet pies run around $8 with sides around $3. Portions aren't huge - slightly larger than a dollar bill folded in half - but they are pretty dense. They're already made do there's no waiting. From order to eating you're looking at just a couple of minutes. read more

I'm sad to see that the most recent reviews of this place are so terrible! I actually really enjoyed my lunch. Premier Meat Pies is located in the armory and if you do any yelp research you'll realize quite quickly how many of these places have very bad reviews. I decided I'd try a meat pie since this seemed to be the most interesting and positive establishment (minus the pizza place). I ordered the chili cheese macaroni filled meat pie, it wasn't as heavy as you might imagine. It was tasty though! I'll admit my mom's steak and mushroom pie was a lot more enjoyable to me...sometimes less is more. My pie was good, but could have been made better by being hotter and maybe by me adding hot sauce, but it was good. The dough was tasty and the macaroni tasted good enough to my standards. The green onions and sour cream on top added a nice touch to the entire pie. The mushroom pie had an amazing sauce and was much hotter on the inside than mine. The temperature made a big difference in the enjoyment, it seemed to heighten the savory flavor. Service was fine, nothing to complain about. I definitely think it's something to at least try! read more

At first I thought $7 was a bit much for a little pie...but we tried three and every one of them tasted like 25 bucks. Worth every penny.

We tried this places one afternoon after taking our kids to play in the fountain, you can literally walk over to it from there! Very convenient! My son got the shepherds pie, I got the steak and mushroom, my daughter did the mash potatoes and gravy and my husband did the Guinness one! All very tasty good depth of flavor in the meat and gravy! The meat was real good quality meat as well! I enjoyed them! Only complaint portions are a little small for the price, you definitely need to order a few things to get full. But I would definitely eat here again! read more

Premier Meat Pies - Steak and Mushroom Pie! Very delicious and a wonderful flaky crust! - British Near Me - Seattle, Washington

See all

Full disclosure: I've not been to this specific shop BUT I have been eating the pies these folks make for years. They make some of the best meat pies I've ever had, my favorite is the Curry Lamb, which I always get one of whenever they've setup shop at an event I'm attending. I also love the Scottish Pie and the Shepherds. I don't know how they do it but the crust is the perfect mixture of flakey but still holding together so it doesn't explode in your hands. Give these folks a go, I strongly recommend it. I wish they had a storefront near me but I know the next time I'm up in Seattle I'll be visiting to overeat. read more

Highly recommend!!! The best Mac and cheese pie I've ever tried, it was so delicious. And they have new Caprese salad with fresh cut basil that was also so good. Nice job, friendly personnel, I love this place. read more

I'm not sure why this place has such high reviews. It was okay but not great. The pies were pretty decent but hardly anything to rave about. I've had better meat pies and this was a little disappointing since I was expecting a 4.5 star eatery. It was worth trying but I doubt I'll be back. I haven't tried the other eateries at the armory yet so I'll probably eat at one of the other options before I come back here. On a positive note, the service was very friendly and quick since the pies were already made. Two pies and a drink came out to $17.50. read more

Premier Meat Pies - Steak and Mushroom Pie $6.99 • Scottish Meat Pie $5.99 • Beverage $2.99 • Total: $17.50 - British Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Disappointment! Hunger! Feeling Ripped off! I got the hatch green chili and chicken pie along with an apple and peach cobbler. $7.99 each plus a couple dollars tax. They served me two very small, extra small pies, about 1/8th the size of the pies I bought when I lived in Sydney, Australia. Each pie was only about 2 bites, and I have a small mouth! When the server put them on my plate, I was shocked. I first thought it was a joke since most of the pies in the display case were so much larger. I was so hungry! I decided to go ahead and eat them, although I wish I had asked for a refund ... they were so small! The flavors were good, but the serving sizes were not worth the money. I wish I had been brave enough to confront the big man who served them to me. This was at the Seattle Space Needle, Armory location, during the big YoYo competition on February 29, 2020. read more

Got Chicken Pot Pie and it was tasty - nothing surprising or noteable really, just a solid chicken pot pie. I'd say for $7 it's kind of small, but if I were super craving a meat pie I'd probably come back. read more

I cannot tell you how happy I am to be able to enjoy the Scottish Meat Pies and sausage rolls from Premier Meat Pies. The name is not a mistake: these are honestly the best pies I've tasted this side of the Atlantic! Crispy pastry and perfectly spiced and flavored meat filling; I'm not even a big meat eater and I adore these pies!! If you have never tried Premier Meat pies, you need to know what you've been missing all these years. I hope they become as popular in the US as they are in the UK- they're absolutely fabulous! read more

Way overrated. Pies are mediocre at best, nothing special. What annoys me the most is that they don't have restrooms accessible to customers, even dine-in customers. It's ironic that they require you to present your COVID vaccination card, but provide no means to wash your hands. When asked to use the restroom, they referred me to a nearby restaurant's bathroom. The employees at this business were visibly annoyed by this (not at us, Premiers). I would not recommend this place. read more

My kids and I tried the Shepherd's, Mac and Cheese, and Scottish pie. Everyone liked the pie they chose. Crusts were a little overdone. We also had the Loaded Mashed Potatoes, which were very tasty. I would go again the next time I visit Seattle. read more

I was looking forward to a great meat pie, but unfortunately they were out of the Scottish Meat Pie. As an alternative, I opted for the new Chicken pie that they had. The crust was not good at all, it was made with some sort of corn meal and made it taste like a corn tortilla. Maybe they were going for the Mexican flavor but that was not made clear on the menu. So to me who was expecting a British or Aussie type meat pie this was a no bueno. read more

Sadly the two star review from Shila was for the old pie shop which has closed. This place is brand new. This new place is much better aswell. I had a steak and mushroom pie, and a sausage roll. The pastry is flaky and delicious, just like a real English meat pie. Both were quit good and my family is English. HP sauce to go with, yum. Don't go expecting the best pie of your life. It is a delicious, solid, quick lunch. read more

Brilliant and expertly made meat pies in the style of British pocket pies. I absolutley crave these pies and when they take their show on the road, I buy them frozen in bulk to take home until I see them again! My favorite is always the Shepherd's Pie, and my son loves the lamb in the Scottish mest pie. You wont be disappointed if you love home cooking style foods, and comfort food. This hits the spot every time. read more

A new branch of my favorite food at the Dickens Christmas Fair! For years at the Dickens Fair at the Cow Palace in San Francisco I have been eating their tasty meat pies at least once a day. ALL the pies are good, but I have a special fondness for the steak pie and the shepherd's pie. Good flaky crust HOT interiors, just the thing for a cold Seattle day( or a cold Cow Palace/London day) read more

Seattle is so lucky!!! My wife is Scottish and we experienced the excellent pies whilst at the Scottish games in Pleasanton California. All the traditional crisp crusts and hearty filling, aromatic spices. I encourage you to support the venue if you enjoy good food and awesome service! read more

Got here for their opening since I read that the best pies are the fresh pies. At four minutes till, some guy called out, "We're closed!" I could tell that since the bars were still down, but maybe they thought I couldn't take a hint. They turned out all the lights. I asked the young woman in front if they open at noon, not 11. She said "11-ish". It's 10 minutes after; still dark, gate still down. Don't expect anyone to care that you're there. Were leaving. We put off a museum visit for half an hour to pick one of these up. Not cool. read more
