Don't let LB prices scare you away, this shop has the goods; some of the best cured meats I've ever eaten! Their aged Waygu Braesola is truly on another level and their house Copa is simple, pure and perfect. Still have a grass fed hangar steak to cook tonight and Sage breakfast sausage for the AM (full links for about $2 a piece!), but the cured stuff has redefined my standard for charcuterie lol, don't think I can do boars head pre-packs again when I can get a QP of either of these for around $10 and get 10x the flavor and care. Will be back for sure

Hands down best butcher in the neighborhood. Whether you are dropping in on a lark or need something for a special meal--they got you covered. Hooked me up with a few pounds of flanken short rib (not easy to find) in less than 24 hour notice. Support this local business!!

$40 per pound for Rib Eye and they want a tip too?!?! You’re a grocery store. Ridiculous.

The best butcher shop in Seattle. Russ and his crew do an amazing job with everything you could ever need. Beef, lamb, pork and poultry / also house made charcuterie. Do yourself a favor and give them a try.

All the meat I get here is great. The staff are very welcoming and are happy to tell you what they recommend. They love when you ask them questions.

I use to love this place. I truly miss the sandwiches that use to be sold in pioneer square location.

Limited to American and French style butchery. Overpriced.Hit-or-miss with staff. Some of the guys are really friendly and helpful, others you feel like you’re wasting their time.I special ordered suadero, and when I went home and unwrapped the cut I bought, it was nothing like what suadero is supposed to be. Typically it’s a thin slice of meat with a thick, fatty membrane similar to a brisket. What I got instead was two giant cuts off the end of the beef navel. Right portion of the cow, but completely the wrong cut. The worst part of it all, they charged $12.99/lb for what was essentially beef tallow.So for a total of $45 (after tip) I got what turned out to be over 80% fat and enough meat for a few tacos. Complete rip off.After this experience, I’d stick with what they have already in the case, and go to a carnicería for everything else.

Great quality. One of the best steaks I've ever had. Extremely full of flavor.

Best service, great quality. I've never had a bad experience with them. The rack of lamb is always delicious.

We've been ordering home delivery from them for a few months now and we are impressed with the service and quality.

Although Rain Shadow Meats provides quality cuts of meat, their selection is limited with few of each cut to choose from, and their prices are exorbitant.

I love this shop! I frequent Homegrown and while I was waiting for my food I struck up conversation with the butcher. He was lovely and very helpful! He was happy to show me what different cuts look like and where they were on the animal without and ounce of condescension. Honestly so nice!! I ended up getting some amazing guanciale (which had been nearly impossible to find), a beautifully prepared boneless lamb leg that was incredibly inexpensive, and some duck fat (trying out the chocolate chip cookie recipe I recently found)! Most of the prices are comparable to other butchers in the area that I've been to. It can get a little bit more expensive depending on the cut, but that's just how meat is. The weekly special is definitely less expensive and that alone is worth checking out.

The ONLY place to buy MEATS in Seattle! Service, quality, excellence. We pre-ordered a small pig for Thanksgiving and we're so impressed with every aspect of the experience.

Walked in and the staff stared right through us. Overpriced, stuck up, and nothing exceptional about their offerings. As a butcher I was looking forward to seeing what they had going on as their website looked pretty cool, but they were clearly not interested in engaging with anyone. Customer service 101: say hello to anyone who comes up to your counter. Can't bear to be friendly? Go work elsewhere. We walked out.

Not sure what's up with the mixed reviews but I called to pick up a few pounds of ground pork and had a very normal transaction. Staff was not very chatty but that's not a requirement for a meat shop. Price was good too so no complaints here.
