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!!

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.

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.

As a native Kansas citian it is tough to find a good butcher shop. Staff is great, meat is amazing. Very high quality cuts. Highly recommend rain shadow.

Go with an open mind to see what cuts they have and explore a new cut of meat to cook with. I learned how to use hanger steak properly thanks to these guys. And don’t skip out on any terrine or pate they may have they are seriously the best! Excellent charcuterie!

Smoked ham hock, check. Lamb crepenettes, check. Sausage, steak, you name it, they have it all. Be prepared to pay top dollar. If you're used to shopping for your meat at QFC or Safeway it will seem pretty expensive. Keep in mind you're supporting a local business, local meat farmers (is that what they're called?) and all that money stays in the local economy. It's worth eating less meat so you can afford the good stuff. I went this morning and there were like 5 guys behind the counter. Thought that was a bit weird for a shop that is the size of a living room.

Love this place. Great selection of fun cuts like picanha, skirt steak, hanger steak, etc. Good sausages and other cured products like guanciale. One of the few places you can also find chicken/duck actually sitting dry instead of in a bag wet so you have a chance at crispy skin. The duck is from grimaud farms, too, which was my favorite duck farm when I worked in michelin rated restaurants. Great butcher shop! Don't forget to check the cooler to the side for goodies like duck fat or horseradish cream!

Idk what these 1 stars peeps are talking about, this place is awesome! Great service and the 4 pounds of Brisket I got today says the same about the meat. Delicious and ready when I arrived. Friendly and clean! I’ve come here for 3 years now and love the place. Keep up the good work! Ps. Get your employees masks

BEST butcher around! We get our meat delivered from them every week, and it makes cooking a nice meal every night so easy...all you really need is salt and pepper! The chicken hindquarters are a special favorite of ours...we will not buy chicken anywhere else. And Russ, Robbie, and team are awesome. We enjoy seeing them and appreciate the personalized service.
