We obviously got that smoked salmon and the spicy meat mix and both were amazing.

This last time we bought a chuck roast and the experience is great and I really appreciate chatting it up with the staff. I just came home and split up a 5lb. roast into two 2.5lb. roasts. Definitely recommend dropping by Olson's and either buy some steaks, roast or just the sausage mix for the road.

The panini did take some time (~20 minutes) to pick up but the mac and cheese was scooped right away. I tried both world's best Mac and cheese and the Smoked salmon one. The smoked salmon was an easy 5/5. I love the dill, green onions, and smoked salmon mixed in with their iconic flagship cheese. I'm still thinking about it as we speak! The world's best mac and cheese was also super good, but I'm always seeking more adventurous flavors. Lastly, the panini was perfectly toasted and crispy with a nice cheese pull! It was really good, but the smoked salmon mac and cheese was magical to eat! The store is average sized and they have a standing area near the factory for you to eat and see the cheese making. No seats inside, so many were just eating the food outside on the sidewalk.

I wanted to try a grilled cheese but there's so many spots around Pike Market I didn't wanna fill up on one place. They use penne noodles with I find unique for a Mac but was a good choice for holding as much of that cheese sauce as possible. It was a little starchy for my preference but still very good. There's little red flakes in the sauce that give it a good flavor profile and little kick. There's a stand up bar after you order where you can eat your food but no formal seating.

I had never been here before today. I have been told by a few it's worth the trip. I drooled up and down the showcase of the products they have, it's pretty impressive to say the least. There are Steaks of all types, Chicken, Duck, Pork, Sausages and Bacon, Pepperoni, Landjaeger and yes Beef Jerky. The quality of the products are fantastic. The service is super friendly and very attentive (see photo). Oposite of the cooler of meats is a wall full of sauces, marinades and other condiments. Oh and one last thing IF you missed them during normal business hours, too bad, but there is a vending machine on the front porch stocked with all kinds of tasty treats. Give them a try.. City boy approved! lol!! Oh and next time I am bringing a cooler to take some on the 90 minute drive home!

It is a very cool…read morespecialty shop, and I love how the labels have fun little facts about the cheese or suggestions about how to use the cheese. It's very thoughtful and makes the shop approachable, as opposed to having a stuffy atmosphere. The cheesemonger is quite knowledgeable and very helpful. I knew what cheese I wanted to buy, but he was helping out other customers and having a great time. I'll definitely come back if I need a high end charcuterie board. Do note that the cheeses can be pretty expensive, but I chalk it up to the location (rent is expensive!) and also the sourcing/rarity of the cheeses. I wonder if the cheeses ever get discounted if they're at the end of their shelf life...I would totally snatch them up!

I have to say, Beecher's Handmade Cheese in the airport is overrated. For a place that gets so much…read morehype, our visit was a disappointment. The food fell short across the board: Tomato Soup: It was way too sour, lacking any of the rich, balanced flavor you want in a classic tomato soup. Mac & Cheese: While they call it the "World's Best," it was just way too cheesy to the point of being overwhelming. Instead of being creamy and balanced, it felt heavy. To make matters worse, the guy serving us really wasn't very friendly, which only added to the subpar experience. Between the letdown dishes and the service, it's definitely not worth the airport premium. And it's the airport and the tables were filthy.

Food: (4/5) I'm not the biggest fan of mac and cheese in general because it gives me flavor fatigue sooo fast, but this one was really good! I've had Beechers at the famous Pike location many years ago and don't remember it being so delicious. I have no idea what exactly my partner ordered, but it was soo creamy and just the right amount of cheesy. It was so steamy that it stayed hot for a good amount of our flight as well. This is definitely something I would like to start getting more often, especially as a comfort food before something that can be physically taxing like a long flight.
