The meat and seafood selection here is considerable! I didn't spot a whole lot exotic meats that I have seen at other meat shops but this is still a really cool place! Lots of fresh meat and seafood at your disposal. The staff here was super friendly and helpful! They had refrigerated cases of craft beer in cans so we found some that we didn't think would be as easy to find in Tacoma and took it home and enjoyed it. This was a very pleasant stop and one worth making a return to. We will bring refrigerated bags next time and get some meats !

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.

Falling River Meats is one of those places I'm genuinely glad we have in town. I not only come here…read morefor meat but lunch or dinner as well, which says a lot. They offer clean cuts, good variety, and staff who actually know where the meat comes from and how it was raised. It feels intentional, not mass-market, and that's why I trust it when I'm cooking for my family. Their salads and sandwiches are an easy go-to, and on weekends the smash burgers are worth planning around. Simple, well-seasoned, cooked right. No gimmicks. I'll usually grab a burger here and then walk next door for a beer at Volition Brewing, which makes for a pretty great low-effort lunch or dinner. They stock a ton of other things as well, worth stopping in when you're in town to see what they have. This place works because it's consistent. Whether I'm shopping for a special meal, stocking up for the week, or just grabbing something quick to eat, Falling River Meats always delivers.

Today we celebrated my 75th birthday with the family, nine of us. Reservations were made for noon…read more We arrived about 10 minutes early but were seated promptly. When we walked in I could smell the "Q." Mo one ordered the same thing. We started with hush puppies and Frito Pie. My wife thought the hush puppies were too dense for her liking. I thought they were a bit dense, but worth eating. The chili for the Frito pie was spicy with brisket in it. My wife ordered the brisket sandwich with fries. There was more brisket in it than my two meat combo had. The brisket was Texas style, heavy in the pepper. It was moist, pull apart, no knife needed. I LIKED IT. My sides were corn pudding and the cowboy beans. I added a bit of the jalapeño bbq sauce to give it more heat. One granddaughter had the macaroni and cheese and said it was very tasty. Another granddaughter had the pancakes. She thought they were good but a bit dense, not quite as good as papa's. The only detractors were the coleslaw. It didn't have much flavor, needed some horseradish to spice it up. The crust of the pecan pie was really dense. The filling was good but the crust almost needed a knife. The business itself reminds me of some of the older BBQ places I have been to around the country. It was fairly clean, but there was some old food on the floor under our table. The men's room used old beer pony cages for urinals. It's tight when squeezing around someone using one of the "kegs." The men's room could use a good deep cleaning. Acceptable, but could use the cleaning. Our server was knowledgeable and friendly. He was busy!!! It took a little while to take our order. A couple who came in well after us received their food before we did. I'm guessing that is because we had nine people in our party. However, our food didn't arrive all at the same time. Bottom line? Give it a try. The brisket is the best I had since being in Houston, TX. I haven't tried the ribs that I ordered yet. Saving them for Sunday night Seahawks Football! We will be going back to Jack 's!! At least I will be going back. A birthday present was a gift certificate for BBQ brisket and pork cooking lessons.

Wait started probably around 6pm although there were still empty tables then. They provide garnishes for your water and also provide 4 salsas/accompaniments for your meal. I got the 16 oz ribeye served on hot stones. They cooked it slightly less than what you want, so for my medium rare, they cook it rare. It also comes with chimichurri and molacete(?) which has a more refreshing flavor. They season with rosemary and even light a branch on fire for more aroma. I tried a bite of my friend's filet mignon which was good, but my preferred cut is the ribeye or NY strip. We also shared the papa loca (worth it - so good) and the cauliflower (not as good, but I'm comparing it to a version made by Cuerno, a Mexican steakhouse in NY). I had a glass of the pinot noir and the garzon, and both were good, slightly tannic and 'juicy'.
