I've been coming here since 1979. Awesome place. Love the beef jerky, pepperoni, and other meats. Get there early on holiday weekends. I have always enjoyed the great staff there. Experience the difference of a smaller shop in a wonderful town.

Excellent selection of Artisan cured meats and sausage’s. This is a great little store that has been around for over 100 years in the small town of Roslyn. Only ran by 2 people they provide fantastic service happy to help anyone with any questions on the different flavors of jerky and meat sticks.

If you really want to enjoy meat, then you might want to make yourself come here. The decor is a horror story, yeah.. I mean seriously not for the faint of heart. When you walk in, you may question if this place is real,.. or a front for something else... actually it's a front.. for a business that could take your freshly kill game, and break it down into all the necessary bits. Yup, they have a butchery service. If that isn't why you are here, it's because of the Jerky, preserved sausage, or the polish sausages. The Jerky is seasoned and tastes of perfection. It's salty, savory, chewy, tender, and all things sexy. They have plenty normally, but I have been told by a local, that they do run out, so if you see something that looks empty, just ask. You wonder why you haven't come here before... well, it might be because it's off the main drag, so you are not going to just drive by it. I paid cash, didn't ask about credit cards, but I think small businesses always appreciate cash, unless told otherwise.

Best jerky we have ever had! We try and stop on our way to and from Seattle to Pasco… so worth it, great place! Yesterday, we were a bit after 5 and the fine lady allowed us in. Out of the jerky we wanted, so purchased some other things which are now will be on our fav list, too!! Thanks so much for going out of way yesterday to let us in, I’m sure you wanted to close up… really appreciate you… always looking forward to making a stop here!! Highly recommend…

I took elk in there when John was alive about 40 years ago. He took out back and showed me his smoker. I swear back then it had a inch of smoke residue on the entire smoker.I live in Arizona now and they do not ship

Carek's is my go to for jerky (when I don't have access to my uncle Bobby's stash of elk haha) legit have to set aside/hide a separate bag from my boyfriend so he doesn't eat it all :P Great service, prices and flavors! I love the "dirty" jerky, got a little kick to it but i like the rub on it. Perfect amount of spice! My all time favorite has to be the honey garlic though I can definitely smash a 1/2 lb in one sitting no problem Little mom and pop meat shop located just off the main drive through roslyn, great pit stop for a yummy snack on way to the lake. They also have a little fridge with sodas and cuts of meat at a fair price. Lady working their is super sweet, always smiley and gives great suggestions! Thanks for the solid jerky Carek's!!

The very best cured meats, the rope pepperoni in 3' lengths is the best. They're very busy

Good jerky, and a few other products. Old time meats. Drop by when you are in Roslyn, worth the time.

The Jerky is so fresh and delicious! I got the pepper and dirty jerky. Definitely going again when I’m next in town. My only regret is not buying more since I ate it all too fast.

I have been coming to Craek's from when I was knee high to a grass hopper. I have fond memories of watching ms Carek make her family recipe jerky and pepperoni amongst the other wonderful items she has to offer and leaving smelling like my self just walked out of her 100 year old + smoker.My favorite is her (honey/garlic) dont know what that woman does but damn it sure is good. If you get the chance please stop in and see this wonderful women and her staff. And even better try her AMAZING products. Truly one of a kind and I am blessed to have this place in my life.

While in Cle Elum we stopped at all three meat markets; Carek's included. Free street parking can be found. Discover is an accepted form of payment. Carek's focuses on jerky, pepperoni and sausages. I am a huge horror buff so the aged building and equipment immediately transported me to horror scenes. Carek's wasn't very tidy either and service wasn't very friendly. During our visit, I purchased some Pepper Jerky for $26 a pound. The jerky was tender, peppery and flavorful. Our friends also enjoyed their meat purchase. During our visit, there was a steady flow of people coming and going; a good sign. Overall, Carek's serves up some tasty jerky; however, Carek's was not aesthetically pleasing to me so I will not return in the future.
