Stopped by Blue Max Meats after finding out Owen's Meats in the Tacoma/Ruston area had closed, and wanted to give another local butcher shop a try. The shop is very clean and well organized, and they clearly put a lot of effort into how everything is displayed. Really nice selection, and the meat quality looked quite good and comparable to other higher-quality butcher shops we've been to. Prices seemed pretty much on par with what you'd expect for this type of place. Service was okay. Nothing bad, but pretty standard and not especially warm or overly friendly. Overall, a solid butcher shop with a clean store, good selection, and good-looking meat. Would I go back? Yeah, especially if I was already in the area. read more

Wish they had more sales but they have amazing quality meats and I've heard great reviews about their butcher services. If traffic wasn't so bad near the freeway, I'd stop more often. read more

I usually get their steak packs and the meat here is the best you can get. Staff is nice and everyone seems to know what they are doing. They have some of the best choices in the area. I highly recommend. read more

Very clean environment upon arrival, friendly staff even though we walked in 10 minutes to close. They still explained stuff to us and gave us some advice. I haven't had their meet yet as we froze it but we had to stop in to check it out. We will let you know how the seasoned meat we purchased is this week. Thanks guys for the warm welcome and we shall be back! read more

This is my favorite butcher, they offer a large selection of meats and sausages. I'm a huge fan of smoked sausage and it's hard to find that in most butchers that I've been to, so I keep coming back. One of my favorite is the cranberry sausage, it's very limited, typically can only find it during the Thanksgiving holiday, but YUMMY. The place is very clean and even though there is always a line, they are quick to serve the customers. read more

This is such an amazing place if you want to treat yourself to a nice quality steak or other meat product. The grade and selections are second to none. The level of customer service is top notch. Do yourself a favor, and plan a trip to stop by to "treat yourself". read more

I have been going to Blue Max on Canyon Rd. since 1994. They drew me in on their Ribeye Steaks and I have been going back ever since. I was a little hesitant when the new ownership took over, but these guys have the same love for the business as the ole' guy did back in the day. They have expanded, of course, and the prices have gone up over 30yrs, but that is where we get all of our meat from. FYI, Ribeye's Garlic Herb Chicken Breast's are the best around! read more

After a flawless experience in Buckley, I decided to make a trip back to Puyallup as the Buckley clerk advised it was their main store. I could be wrong, but this store didn't feel as large and no one I encountered was friendly. I asked for a sample as there were a couple smoked items, I didn't try in Buckley that I regretted not tasting. The person said, "We can't do samples" and gave me that look of "Buy something or leave". Since I didn't want to pay for something I didn't like, I asked for 2 pieces each of two jerky's. So, for those of you without college degrees, that's 4 pieces total. What he gave me was a bag with 10 pieces and as you can imagine, of the jerky's I didn't even care for, hence me only asking for two pieces. So to recap, no sample, rude, didn't listen and sold me far more than I asked for. This experience completely negated my positive experience from earlier in the week, so much so, I probably wouldn't make an isolated trip to Buckley, maybe it's possible the person that helped me there was breaking the rules offering me samples and being polite, because in Puyallup, the attitude was funky, and the service was regrettable. read more

The prices are good, the staff is friendly and welcoming, it's nice to have a meat market the is close and convenient

We have purchased our meats from Blue Max for years! You will not find better quality meats anywhere! There hamburger is only ground twice which makes delicious beef for many recipes. Their bacon and sausage are the best! I refuse to consider buying our meat anywhere else! read more

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. read more

The meat may be good but after stopping in desperate for a restroom and being turned away, I will no longer be giving them my business. Treating people right isn't complicated. Do better. read more

Delicious cuts of meat, and very large variety. Friendly helpful staff as well. Many options to choose from. Their bacon is incredible. Nice and thick cuts. Delicious flavor too. read more

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

Top quality. Excellent service. Affordable prices. Additional selection of side options was great.

A carnivore's paradise with every cut of every high-quality meat you can imagine - plus keto trail mix. Yum! We love their steaks, bacon, and fatty mix ground beef - precisely right for burgers! A big shout out to the man who prepared a Hawaiian Kahlua Pork roast for us on the spot. We slow-roasted it today to meltingly smoky perfection. Aloha! We are now regulars! read more

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. read more

The meat is very good here, but make sure if you have a large order that everything is in your bag before you leave. I bought two pounds of trail mix along with several other cuts of meat, some pinwheels, and some marinated meats. When I got home, there was no trail mix in my bag, but the $20 something charge for it was on my receipt. Bummer. Meat is good here, but you pay for it.

WOW.....JUST WOW! I was in sensory overload mode the first 5 minutes in the shop. This is the finest butcher shop in the south sound, bar none!

Blue Max Meats is off the charts with selection and quality. I was here for the first time a few weeks ago. I got several steaks and some Jalapeño Bacon and Apple Smoked Bacon. Well, I went to work and my wife decided to make some of the Bacon and make me lunch with it....BLT would have been GREAT! Except for the fact that she and the dog hung out, listened to music and ate both 1/2 lbs at once....WITHOUT ME! I went hungry but they were happy and thats all that matters. Have a great day! read more

I will for sure be back read more

We came for the jerky. We left with the jerky. We enjoyed the jerky. We heard about this place through a friend who frequently buys their jerky. Being that I'm now getting into more jerky, we decided to come here. Jerky. The jerky is all the way at the back of their store. It's about $22ish/lb for most if not all of their jerky. We asked the counter guy what the difference was between the jerky. He gleefully obliged by telling us that the hawaiian jerky was the same as the teriyaki jerky, but it had pineapple in the hawaiian jerky. I believe we bought about 1/2lb of five different types of jerky. It's a thick cut and flavorful jerky. I hear they also have seasonal types of jerky. Come here for all your local, butcher-made needs of jerky. Jerky. read more

Stopped by here from my trip to Watson for the first time. They had so many selections and everything looked so fresh! The staff there was super nice and helpful as well. Prices were reasonable too. Will definitely be back. read more

This butcher shop is incredible!!!! You can't beat the selection of meats and service. Located a little off Canyon and 512, this shop has great parking. Once you enter, they usually have 5-6 folks working the counter on weekends. Never waited more than a minute for help. Selection of meats is awesome: bacons, pepperonis, jerkies, sausages, steak, chickens....they have it all. The special marinades are great as well. Price is competitive and finally the meats are all delicious. I feel like this is just a special place, meat is my friend; and this is thy friend's home! read more

The BEST of its kind in the area. Smoked sausage is amazing. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Always great service and a clean environment. We keep coming back. read more

Walked in for the first time to ANY butcher shop in my life and was glad to have had this one be my first one because I will be going back there, again.

Also got two New York Steaks and they turned out beautifully! Very awesome, they just got my future business! Thanks, guys! Keep up the great work! read more
