Ummmmmm my new favorite lunch spot! I didn't add picture because it would t do it justice. Go check it out. It's butcher shop/farmers market with an eatery. It has outside seating and let me tell you it's serene! Very clean. Doesn't smell like a butcher shop. I had a spicy hotdog with bacon coleslaw and bbq sauce with Thai chili potato chips. My wife had a chicken bacon ranch wrap with Sara and balsamic vinegar chips. Also a side of delicious homemade potato salad!!! Pricing was reasonable and great portions. The sandwiches also looked delicious....man I'm getting hungry just thinking about. The service was also quick and the staff greeted you as you entered. Hurry up you are missing out! read more

This is a really cool place to come and have lunch, they have a lot of delicious stuff in there and a selection of meats, produce, etc. everyone was friendly and the grounds are kept really nice :) Go sit outside and watch the train go by! read more

First time here, very clean and fairly large selection of meat. The service is fast and friendly, prices are fair. They have a little eatery onsite, we didn't eat, but it's there if you're hungry. We stocked up on pepperoni and jerky. If in the area, we'd return. read more

OMG THE ABSOLUTE RIBS. We got the marinated baby back ribs and OMG. I baked them in foil in the oven at 275F for 3 hours and my husband couldn't even pick them up because the bones were falling all over the countertop! Super delicious! Great amount of seasoning: salty, sweet and spicy. Absolutely perfect. We will definitely make the trip to get these again. Also, we had the Italian grinder sando and it was divine, very spicy Italian meats and unlike many sandos it stayed together. Really fantastic place. read more

I've come down a couple of times to listen to the summer concerts in the back. they've opened up the back area so there's a lot more space and seating, but bring your camping chairs for the ultimate in comfort because they don't have a lot of picnic tales and you will want to order food. They have a couple of Adirondack chairs in the front, but no one wants to sit there unless they have ear plug becauase they're right in front of the speakers. We tried that and retreated to the store to get some food. I tried the maple brat which is tassty but very sweet, and I like sweet, but this is very weet because of the slaw sauce they slather on. I loved the fake newspaper liner they use to serve the sandwiches in. I also loved that they don't have a rack of Lay's potato chips near the sandwich case, but instead carry a brand call Carolina's and it's really good. Way to support small business! This is the place to go if you want to find some cool cuts of meat and they have a whole freezer stuffed with product. I like Johnsons. read more

Ran over to get lunch sandwiches on a Friday. I haven't been to Johnson's for a while and I always forget about their amazing selection of meats and also grocery items. I ordered an Italian and a Ruben sandwich to go. While I waited I perused the store. I was happily surprised to see English style bangers and Spanish style Chorizo. Two sausages that are hard to find in the South Sound area. Their produce also looked really good. It might be a little more expensive than a big grocery chain, but it looked so fresh and good, I may head there first to see what they have before the big box trip. I liked the Italian sandwich which was filled with their own salami, ham, and pepperoni, but I wish it was more flavorful. It could have used some additional salt, pepper, and vinaigrette. I really enjoyed the Reuben. There was plenty of corned beef, sauerkraut, and dressing. Will definitely go back for the Rueben. read more

If you're looking for beef jerky or pepperoni sticks, then head to Johnson's Smokehouse in East Olympia! Their pepperjack pepperoni is my favorite! Johnson's Smokehouse also has a wide variety of steaks, sausages, and other meats in their display case! The new space has a small general store feel to it, where you can also buy local craft beer, wine, milk, eggs and cheese. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the Olympia area! read more

Nice little shop of meat and other things. I think the prices are kind of high. My review is more so for the little eatery that they have. We stopped in recently one afternoon and decided to have a quick bite their. I decided on the taco salad after another customer had mentioned how good it was. And it was good. Wish it was a little bigger, but it was a snack so it's okay. The dogs looked good, because before the lady told me about how good the taco salad was I was planning on getting the chili dog. Guess I will try that next time. Good little spot to grab a snack and a beer. read more

They have great quality meat. Very helpful when picking out how much meat you need for a crowd. Their marinated meats a delicious. Best jerky we've ever have had and the trail mix is amazing. The take and bake pizzas are the best! When it's not too hot out I stop by and grab some pizzas. We love the assortment of cheese they carry in the refrigerator case. The smoked Swiss is a family favorite. The smoked salmon is wonderful not too salty just right. I highly recommend them. Staff is friendly and very helpful. read more

About 5 years ago I bought some jerky at a local gas station. It reminded me of a jerky I had before while traveling called Hi-Country. I found out they were based in Olympia, so I looked them up and decided I would eventually make the trip down. I emailed the address on the package and was encouraged to come down. That was a couple of years ago and as you can imagine, out of sight out of mind. That said, I had been promised the in-store offerings were greater and better than the retail package options. Long story short I tried pepperoni, peppered jerky, atomic or some kind of hot jerky and hot links. The pepperoni wasn't good at all, the worst I've probably ever had. The peppered jerky was ok, but nowhere as good as expected. The Atomic heat was actually pretty good, but everything had way too much sugar. I don't like sweet and meat. The hot links were a surprise, they had a sooth kick, but unfortunately there was more heat than flavor. That is not to say they were too hot, that is not the case, it is to say, they were a bit short of being full flavor. They would however be a great candidate for chilidog's with the flavor coming from the chili. In the end, the journey from Seattle was almost two hours, this place was not worth the drive and I wouldn't consider driving back or even swinging by if I were back in Thurston county. We got Oberto in Seattle and there is nothing I bought on this trip that Oberto does not sell. With that in mind Johnson's Atomic jerky was really good and would have been near flawless without sugar. But the biggest issue with Johnson's was price. I got about $7 worth of smoked meat for nearly $20. For that reason, I could never endorse this place. read more

Great service, great food. We were very happily surprised with the speed of our order, and how good the food tasted. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. We will be back! read more

Excellent food, peaceful and clean atmosphere.....and nice people. Good prices on food and a pint of draft was on $5. What's not to like about this place? read more

Great service! Great food! Very cool building. Awesome team running the place. It is worth a visit or 2. I'll be back

Walked in to buy a half dozen steaks. First time visiting this "butcher" and wanted to see value, convenience, and quality of the meat. Unfortunately the staff was beyond rude before I could even get a word out of my mouth. Not sure what the entitlement for is here. Prices were extremely high for what looks like something they bought at Costco and are repackaging. I won't be going back simply for the attitude. read more

Went to the Oktoberfest and was not really anything resembling an Oktoberfest - 1 not German beer on tap and the rest canned microbrews you can get anywhere. Food was boring - basically they're standard hot dogs being sold for $12. Music was a country band not German at all. Nice property and good service but poorly planned for an Oktoberfest. Would suggest a German band, some kegs of German beers, and more German foods - pretzels, schnitzels, ... Great place to have an Oktoberfest but put a little more effort and it would be good. read more

Our first time here after we heard rave reviews. The dogs weren't bad (actually just mediocre) but it was the service that was frustrating. It took over 30 minutes to get 2 dogs! When I got tired of waiting and went to find out what was taking so long they said the sandwiches (the Rueben and French dip specials I'm guessing) had taken up the grill space. I know we were there before those customers! Lame excuse if you ask me. And not much of an apology. I'm super disappointed because I was really looking forward to experiencing their new store. Bummer! read more

I won't buy my steaks from anywhere else(especially supermarkets)I like knowing where my food comes from. Their Wagyu steaks are delicious and not too bad on $. Also gotta try their twice baked potatoes. Delicious. Jerky and cheeses are also top notch. I normally just get their Cajun trail mix, to get a bit of everything. Love their lil restaurant too. Their pulled pork is one of my favorites. They have some pretty good, unique dogs that are tasty too. read more

Love Johnsons smokehouse. The jalapeno bacon is awesome. Everything we get there has been fantastic. A corned beef, meatloaf, cheese and meat trail mix, sausages, mustard and pizzas. It isnt cheap but itbis quality food. We are lucky we only live 3 minutes away! Check it out read more

This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I have never given a review but feel the need to. I will never go back or buy their products again. The old guy had a terrible attitude and temperment. read more

Awesome selection of jerky. As soon as you get out of the car you can smell the smokey goodness! The smoked turkey bites are great too! They have smoked cheeses, chickens, pork, salmon, and beef, all of which were very good. They also have frozen items like Italian sausage, breakfast sausage, chicken sausage, etc. They have fresh pepperoni sticks, mild to hot, smoked ham, smoked pork bites, and other yummy snacks. The store is very clean and in a log cabin setting. I've bought Johnson's items at other retail stores and the prices here are cheaper. It's a pretty little drive outside of Olympia and I'll be going back for sure. read more

This place is soon clean! Doesn't smell like most meat markets. We had the lasagna tonight and it was the best I've ever eaten. Got some teayaki sausage too. Will consider their pizza next time! read more

We've been a patron of Johnson's for about 18 years now. In our opinion there is no other competitor can that can compare to the quality, flavor and variety of smoked meats. We visit the East Olympia location about once per month for tasty treats such as jerky, pepperoni, smoked ham steaks, bacon, salmon, and ground sausage. During the spring and summer we will visit the store at the Olympia Farmers market open from Thursday to Sunday. The people working at each location are always friendly and patient while we make up our minds. Everything is always spotless clean. read more

This is an amazing place. I was spending time with family in Tenino Washington. Come across Johnson smokehouse. It's just what you would expect in a country setting. Very impressed with the atmosphere. Very clean very well organized very well ran. I ended up spending about $300 on steaks that day. And they were amazing. This place gets nothing but thumbs up. Hope it helps somebody. read more

Well I love pickled polish sausage. Either big daddy's or hot mommas. They come in gallon jars. Was at Johnson's smokehouse near Tumwater,wa. They have their own brand. So I thought, they must be good. WRONG! Those are the worst things I have ever tried. First, all fat. Big chunks of white fat. Now the pickling. There isn't any. Like water. Usually when you open the jar, you get the pickling odor. None, absolutely none. Then I bit into it, no flavor, just pig fat. Ugh. I'm really pissed. Never will go back. What a mistake. I'd take them back, but a 40 mile round trip. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. read more

Cool little place. Friendly staff. Lots of meats to choose from. Everything looked great and decent prices. We left with jerky and smoked cheese. We ate lunch there I had the maple bacon brat and my lady had the chili dog. Would of like my brat to be a bit hotter then it was with the cold toppings on top the brat was luke warm but it was good. Make sure your serving hot items at 140 degrees or hotter to prevent food borne illness. We'll be back for sure as it's only a couple miles from our house and they have some marinated meats we'd like to try. Wish they were open on Sunday's. read more

What a fun place! I've been here a few times this winter in search of the perfect smoked meat gift and was pleasantly surprised by everything else this place has to offer. The pleasant little drive from Olympia is quick and easy, but enough to make you feel like you're getting out of the city and into some local farm area. Johnson's has a long driveway where you pass a cut your own Christmas tree area and then you park in front of a little pumpkin patch. Each time I visited there were families out searching for their perfect festive holiday necessity. The shop itself is a small one room shop that is filled with jerky, smoked and cured meats, and a variety of cheeses. A few novelty gifts as well, and it's amazing how much time you can spend browsing a one room shop. The people there are very friendly. I bought some smoked salmon as a gift and they wrapped them nicely in paper and twine and removed price stickers. They also gave me recommendations on how to ship them out of state. The last time I visited, my friend from Nat Geo was with me. He loves learning about locally sourced food and they were great about answering all his questions. A lot of their meat they smoke is sourced from local hunters and fishermen. All smoked in house. My uncle who received the smoked salmon said it was wonderful. The products are all very reasonably priced as well. Definitely a great local find! read more

They are open again for business after the Fire burned it to the ground last year. I have already gone twice in 2 weeks, to get my jerky and trail mix fix. Spread the word everyone.

Beautiful place. Very friendly staff. A lot of great food. Love the place. We will go again.

I used to get meats from Johnson's at the Farmers Market -- they are no longer there, and I read (and saw) that their main business on Rich road burned down. But, they have done a first class job of rebuilding. The business is impeccably clean, everything is new -- including the asphalt parking lot (unlike another business down the road where you have to park in dirt and gravel). Anyway, they have a great selection of meats; I bought some chicken breast, jerky, etc. The rib eye look excellent, and is on my list for my next stop here. The service was very friendly. Also, they have a a lot of other things such as dairy, cheese, and so forth. I thought the service was very friendly and efficient. I usually shop at QFC -- but their meat department is lacking. I occasionally go to Safeway, because their meat selection in a lot better -- however, it is totally dysfunction junction there and I can feel my stress level start to rise as soon as I step foot in the door. Johnson's has just about everything I need and will be my new go-to quick stop. Oh, they also have a great selection of sandwiches (and hot dogs) that you can eat in the dining are in the store. read more

Best beef and pork jerky I've ever had! The girl at the cash register is very friendly.

I always enjoy the Johnson's Smokehouse counter at the Olympia Farmer's Market. They have a nice variety of sausages, cheese, and beef jerky. The staff is always friendly, and happy to talk to you about offerings, and delicious combinations. I'm a big fan of the Landjager and the trail mix. Trail mix is a mixture of smoked cheese and pepperoni, and the Landjager is some kind of house made sausage/beef stick. This is great stuff for road trips, fishing, camping, or just snacking. Be advised, it gets stinky (in the good way) when it gets warm! read more
