Great place. Always busy, very helpful. We get our dog food meat there. Great choice of meats too.

Excellent quality and variety of meats. They even have great Smoked Pig Ears at a reasonable price for my K-9 buddy. And can't go without commending them for their above average Customer Service and for providing Military Discount.

Tremendous selection of meats and fresh veggies, and with excellent customer service; I was very impressed by this shop. Oh, and plenty of close-in parking. What's not to like!

Best place to go for quality meat. They also make their own pepperoni sticks. Highly recommend.

This place is amazing. Everyone is so friendly and the selection they have is incredible. The service is quick and they give great recommendations.

Blue Max Meats is my GO-TO location for jerky and pepperoni sticks. I cannot say I've purchased their other fresh meats because pricing is kind of expensive if you do that often but boy does it look good. This location will seriously have no less than 10 shoppers in it every single time I go which speaks volumes. I'd say on the level of Stewart's Meats in terms of customer base (Stewart's is a little too far for me but also great). I've gone to at least 3 other butcher shops in the greater Seattle area and unfortunately none compare to Blue Max Meats in several categories; SIZE: this place is quite large for a meat shop. An entire L shaped design of windows with meat each about 15-20ft long, along with an island in the middle of the store filled with rubs, more meats, pickled vegetables, and much more! It's seriously the largest one if been in. VARIETY: okay they pretty much have it all. Giant bones (for your dog I think), tons of meat, tons of jerky flavors (like 8+), tons of pepperoni flavors, tons of spices, drinks, canned goods, EVERYTHING. QUALITY: they have my favorite jerky and pepperoni sticks hands down. Peppered jerky is always a must for me and then I usually select something different but you cannot go wrong with their PIONEER jerky! Just get 2 pieces and try it, it's thicker than their normal jerky but the right consistency of dry and juicy and Smokey at the same time. I love it! Not to mention they have the best "trail mix" I've seen at any shop. Either original or spicy and comes with plenty of cheese cubes. I took 2 friends here on different occasions and one from the LA area and he won't stop talking about how amazing the trail mix was. He took some home with him on the plane and snacked on it days later. Have I just become a Blue Max fanboy? Probably but I'll also make the drive out here from downtown Kent just to get some good jerky. 10/10 worth the drive.

I've been coming to Blue Max Meats intermittently now for the past couple of years. I discovered them a few years back when my brothers and I were looking for a unique Father's Day gift for the dad who never wants anything. Lol. Dad does like it when family gets together so we thought getting him a gift certificate for $300 would cover any meat for family get together he wanted, but he could also get some steaks, jerky pepperoni sticks or whatever else looked good for him and his wife. The gift certificate worked for my dad and I was impressed by the look of the store, the customer service, and product options. I'd been in and out for myself occasionally over the years. Always had great service. My most recent trip back was my first since they moved the shop to the other end of the building. I'd tried to go before and they'd been closed. Anyway, went back in a couple of days before Valentines Day. Was really struggling with what to get my man and decided to go with a bunch of different meat options, because he's that guy. I bought two of almost every pepperoni stick, opting out of the chicken, because he doesn't care for that. I also threw in 1.5 pounds of the trail mix (meat, cheese) -1 pound spice, 1/2 pound regular. I checked out the refrigerator section and grabbed some smoked salmon and smoked mozzarella. My goal was for my man to have lots of snack options for both at home and at work. Let me tell you, a huge part of me was unsure if this was a good gift. I questioned it, but doubled down anyway. The guy helping me told me this was a great gift and this is the kind of gift he would like to receive, which built a little more confidence in me. He told me how he had actually just had some of the smoked mozzarella the night before -he planned on having it for lunch snacks at work, but ate the whole thing the night before instead. I was reassured that I was getting good stuff and he couldn't imagine my man not being thrilled with it. He was also courteous enough to package the pepperoni sticks separately into flavor pairs so that my boyfriend would know what he had. Even though it was the weekend and they were busy, he didn't look put out by the request at all. While everything was being packaged up, I was looking at nearby things and it looks like they have a lot more seasonings, sausage-making supplies, etc. than they did at the old store. The new store is also much easier to walk around -so spacious!! I must have seen a dozen other things I wanted, but swore off for another day. My man LOVED everything from Blue Max Meats and not only bragged to anyone and everyone that his girlfriend bought him meat for Valentines Day, but noted that he thought the quality of the trail mix was much better than at other places he has been to. He has been telling everyone aboutBlue Max Meats and he hasn't even been inside yet! Every time he wanted a snack in between meals he went straight to the fridge for a pepperoni stick. He took them to work also. Overall, between the quality of meats, reasonable prices, and amazing customer service, I just can't recommend Blue Max Meats enough. We'll definitely be back soon for some meats to grill. It's worth the drive.
