Shawn’s Quality Meats & Smokehouse

Fantastic customer service and the best chicken pepperoni I’ve ever had! I love that they make everything in house and the meat is clean!

For helpful, knowledgable butchers, this is a great store. My husband bought all of his meats for our New Year’s Day choucroute. Good prices!

Great quality and most of the staff are super friendly and helpful. Selection started out a bit mundane, but they have improved over time. Their in-​house smoked items are particularly good (especially the Salmon Candy!). I’m hoping they will continue to add more variety – would love to see some harder-​to-​find items like Wagyu, grass fed beef, and maybe some European charcuterie.

This is the best place to buy fine meats, period. If you want a real treat, I would strongly suggest you try out the «Million Dollar Bacon», it’s amazing… The owner and employees not only know exactly what the customer wants/​needs, but they also do a great job at getting to know the customer and being personal. Check them out, you won’t be disappointed!

The quality of product at this shop couldn’t be better — second only to the quality of folks who work here. They are so helpful and they don’t seem to mind when I ask a zillion questions on how to cook something. You may also be surprised to discover that their prices aren’t too much higher then your local supermarket — for a much healthier product. Check out their little freezer while you’re there too — it’s full of wonderful treasures that may help you expand your horizons a little! Love, love, love this place. We stop by almost every weekend. (and yes, the bacon is a must-​try!) They make BBQ so much fun!

Everything is so delicious. words cannot express the deliciousness of everything here. patronize this awesome local business! :)

Love this place. Quality meats nearby and OH MY GOODNESS THE BACON! Their Million Dollar Bacon is SOOOOGOOD SOOOOGOOD! I brought it to potlucks at work as a Mac n Cheese topping and also as toppings for our salad bars. It’s a hit! I mean I told my colleagues so many times that it’s called million dollar bacon. My sister calls it crack bacon because it’s soooooo addicting and most of my colleagues calls it miracle bacon. We also had the steaks and pork chops from there and they never disappoint. So happy that it’s nearby. I live in kent-​Covington and we do not have a Met Market or a Whole Foods and then I Unilocaled and stumbled on this gem. So happy to have a butcher. Painted Hills and quality natural meats, impeccable service — SCORE!
Please get the Million Dollar Bacon
You’re welcome.

So refreshing to have a full service butcher shop on our doorstop. The candied salmon jerky is my favorite. Little pricier than i can afford to shop there regularly but still worth coming back to.

Yummy meats, but they are a bit more pricy than other meat shops in the area (we used to live up in Bothell and this one is a little more expensive than our last shop). However, you do get what you pay for. We almost always love our meats from here, the bacon is amazing, and our dog loves the pigs ears and raw bones. My only negative experiences have been with one of the older gentlemen that works there, I feel badly that I don’t know his name but I think he’s a manager. He’s just very offputting if you don’t know what you want. He makes me feel stupid when I have a question. Usually I just try to work with someone else, which is fine. Good meats, semi-​reasonable pricing, and a good location.

Best butcher around. The pepperoni is amazing. The meats are high quality and the staff is extremely friendly.

We’ve been coming here for a few months now after deciding to go organic and this place is really what all shops should look to resemble. The quality of their meat is excellent and the customer service is great too. Get the flank steak and BBQ that bad boy, no sauce necessary, it’s pure goodness. Their laundjaeger is really good too, not greasy like I’ve experienced elsewhere.

Happy we found this place … quality meat, grass fed cows, and friendly service. We are about to try their bacon, which was given to us as a courtesy sample the first time we shopped in the store. We used to drive all the way to Puyallup for steaks and bacon … no more … this is a just ten minutes away. Highly recommended FOR GOOD REASON.

Maple Valley is really lucky to have a meat market of this caliber. I hope our little community will send them enough business to sustain it.
I would do cartwheels about this place even if the only thing they sold was the Painted Hills beef. Look at restaurant menus in many of the best restaurants in the city of Seattle and you’ll often see cuts of this delicious Oregon grass-​fed all natural beef. The price reflects the quality, but most of the steaks will feed two adults, and cooked properly, you’ll be in heaven from the flavor and tenderness of this superb beef.
But the excellent grass-​fed beef is just the beginning. They’ve got a full line of pork and poultry products, and turn out delicious house-​smoked and cured items. We ordered a smoked turkey from Shawn’s for our Thanksgiving dinner last Fall and ~wow~ was that ever a hit. The bird was all natural, raised in Sonoma County, California, and then smoked on the premises at Shawn’s. Delectable.
The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable and I am sure they can help you with any special requests.
Shawn’s does very limited advertising and is not all that visible from the road, so be sure to track it down and then tell others.
The only thing I would change about this place is their schedule. Shawn’s closes on Sundays and Mondays. I totally appreciate giving everyone a two weekend, but I wish they would hire someone just to serve from the counter on Sundays. Being able to hit Shawn’s at the spur of the moment on a Sunday would be a great help. Heck, hire me, I’d be honored to help out! :)
Anyway, I don’t know what Maple Valley did to deserve a resource this good for high end meats, but we should all support it.

Excellent selection of quality meats. Their bacon is AMAZING. The staff if friendly and helpful every time. Honest and kind

I bought 2 packs of Habanero beef jerky today, priced at $ 13 apiece.
I paid with a $ 100 bill to a younger guy (20ish) working the counter today.
I get home and count the change in my pocket — $ 64.
Not cool.
I hope it was an honest mistake and not outright theft.

The name of this establishment should really be Shawn’s Exceptional Meats.
The quality of the meat is outstanding. My family has a few steak houses, and I grew up eating exceptional cuts of meat. Shawn’s meets and surpasses all of my standards.
When we have out of town guests, a trip to Shawn’s for some bacon wrapped tenderloin is a MUST. The bacon is to die for!
Last night, during a pregnancy craving, I was in dire need of some spicy pepperoni. My first thought? Shawn’s! Their Jalapeño Cheddar Pepperoni made me and baby VERY HAPPY.
I really cannot rave enough about the people, service and product. I’m lucky enough to live in Maple Valley, so I’m never far. Even if I didn’t, Shawn’s would be my butcher.

Love the pepperoni sticks.

This is an excellent butcher. Today I watched the skill as they cut and trimmed a few pieces of tenderloin for me. Oh and the bacon! I always ask for the bacon to be wrapped around the tenderloin, tonight they added a few extra slices on the side.
Shawn’s helps me look like a great grill master, and is part of our go to dinner for out of town guests.

Where I grew up we had a butcher shop. It was the old fashioned kind with great meat. Hand cut and delicious. I always missed the expertise and quality.
Then came Shawn’s here to Maple Valley. I went in around the time they opened and immediately saw that this place was exactly what I remember. Clean, friendly staff, very good meats and a great selection of products. I bought some of the absolute best rib-​eye steaks I have ever eaten. Salt, pepper and garlic was all I put on it and grilled it.
This isn’t the cheapest place to buy meat. But I will gladly pay the little extra for the quality. I recommend the cottage bacon, the ground beef (they have lean and extra lean) The rib-​eye, and the German sausage. The breakfast sausage is great too. Oh, and the bacon and the pepperoni too.
For Christmas we ordered one of the rib roasts. It came pre-​seasoned and ready to cook. It was a big hit and we can hardly wait for next Christmas. It is going to be a tradition.

I was excited to see a meat market opening in Maple Valley, no not that kind of a meat market… you know, a smokehouse. I’ve never had a butcher close to me as a neighborhood go-​to for meats but have always dreamed of one moving in since the days of Sam the butcher on The Brady Bunch.
As I entered the small space, I noticed one thing… it was clean, well organized and the dudes were really friendly.
They asked if I had been in yet, and I told them no, so we started to talk about some things I should buy to get a good sample of what they have to offer. Their beef is aged, no hormones and they hand make all their sausages.
By this time I was already hooked like a woman in a wedding dress shop.
I really have nothing to compare this to, besides the meat sections in your local grocery stores, which I’ve never felt much love coming from their butchers. They seem to never want to help, but just get to the next customer. Not here. They guy helping me took his time to walk me through my options.
We ended up landing on me buying a porterhouse steak (he offered to season it for me), some German sausage and their smoked bacon. One thing I wish I would have bought was their habanero beef jerky… but the $ 20 a bag is what kept my chubby fingers from grabbing a bag.
Overall, great experience, great products, great crew.
The prices are higher than a grocery store, but with what you get, they should be. I cooked my porterhouse on the grill to medium with just some Montréal Steak seasoning on top. Amazing! Shared it with others and they were amazed at the taste and how much it seemed to melt in their mouths… I couldn’t agree more.
Both the bacon and sausage didn’t disappoint either.
I’ll be shopping here from now on for my meats.
Go support your local butcher… they are a dying breed, but if Shawn’s continues to perform at this level, they’ll resurrect the profession here in Maple Valley.
