Owens Meats is a world famous meat shop serving the Pacific Northwest since 1887, calling itself the Candy Store for the Carnivore. It is an excellent shop and a new favorite for many, known for quality and affordable meat. Customers recommend trying the jerky, called the best in the world, as well as the pepperoni ropes, assortments of cut meats, sausages, delicious bacon, and the “good stuff” mix of meat and cheese. The fantastic customer service is frequently highlighted. Staff provide an exceptional experience, working hard to serve a constant flow of customers with top quality products and services. The service-oriented culture means employees often go above and beyond, even assisting with large orders over the phone and after closing time to make a trip worthwhile. While most experiences are positive, there can be rare discrepancies with posted hours. For anyone driving through or staying in the Cle Elum area, it is considered a place you need to experience for yourself. As their slogan says, “You Can’t Beat Our Meat!”
