Local butcher shop that raises their own food which many quality restaurants buy from. Great deals on a variety of package deals of beef, poultry and pork as well. Prices seem a bit high but worth it for the quality of meats offered. Chances are you've had some of their products if you eat at smaller owned restaurants in and around Kitsap county. Twenty four hours advance notice if you plan on buying from them so they can get it ready for you because their meats are that fresh. I believe there's also another shop behind them that has produce of same quality and also locally grown.

NASTY!!Writing this review having just thrown away 2 Porterhouse Steaks and ordered pizza! Steaks went directly from this place into the deep freezer, vacuum sealed from them and all. Tool them out 30 hours in advance and tossed in the fridge. They had a weird smell almost immediately, not like spoiled or rotten but very weird and off putting. Cooked them up and they tasted straight garbage. Still had this smell/taste i csn only describe as weird and pretty gross. I literally has to brush my teeth before eating the pizza. I've never thrown a steak away I've cooked before let alone a $15/lb steak in 2023 with these prices. Now that I've thought about it the smell/taste was almost like a "gamey" taste from deer. Either way yuck!Additionally when I ordered them I ordered at least 4lbs of porterhouse over 4 steaks. I got a t-bone (even written on it) and two of the steaks were 0.8lbs. Who the hell wants a 0.8lb porterhouse. So even if the nasty steak didn't put you off make sure you're extremely specific and don't trust them to use common sense on your order.If anyone wants the 2 Porterhouse I've got left they're FREE. I'll stick to Costco or Safeway for my steak!

Packaging and quality assurance needs to be improved. The meat itself wonderful products they put out my mother has been buying from minders meats all my life she is a loyal customer however I don’t know if I will be purchasing bundle packages from them after this experience. I bought the budget package a few months back and as I’m cooking through all of the meat I’ve noticed that the cuts are a little bit sloppy and unevenly cut some steaks are way thicker and others are noticeably uneven same with the pork chops, very sloppy. I think they could improve on the quality assurance for customers because I’ve had steaks that are very very fatty felt a little robbed on the actual substance of my red meats. Lastly, almost ALL of my packaging has had holes I leave meat out to thaw and I end up with a puddle of blood in my refrigerator or on the counter 90% of the time. I have ruined 3 pounds of ground beef alone thawing under cold water because I didn’t notice the vacuum sealed bags had holes in them. Very frustrating the packaging is very subpar and would not trust it in a deep freezer for very long

Can't beat Minders Meats, their product is elite and their service is impeccable. They have also been one of the most consistent businesses for multiple generation in the support of the local community.

Way too expensive you used to get alot of meat in their packs seems the raise the price and the packs get smaller love all beef hotdogs. Gave them a 2 because they way more expensive than Farmer George's

For a company claiming to be local, it’s real hard to explain the doubling of price for their bacon over the last few years. I literally paid $13.99 for a pound of bacon, up from $6.99 just a few years ago. Oh, and their bacon is from Utah. NOT LOCAL AT ALL.

My grandpa used to come get meat and what not here when I was young and I had never actually went in he would just always tell me how much he enjoyed the service and quality. Went in with a buddy yesterday without really thinking about it and it was FANTASTIC. They had such an incredible display of products and the nice lady made us all a shrimp tacos while we waited! Really excited to go back for more!

Beyond my expectations. I will definitely be there again.
Since the pandemic, I've been getting the 80/20 ground beef from Minder. It is about the same price as a grocery store when not on sale and the taste is much richer than what you get from a store.Also do not forget about fresh seafood that is flown in and available on Saturdays with Sam.

The service is out of this world. My checker did everything in a split of a second from the time I entered to time of leave. This wonderful man brought a 10 lbs box of, what I found out at home very delicious Polish sausage, from the freezer to my car. I ordered it from Minder Meats after careful research. Additionally, there were cut up tasty samples of smoked cod and salmon. My only wish to have longer store hours on at least one day, until 6:00pm. When I order next time I won't be able to get my order until a Saturday because I work when they close at 3:00 pm. And additionally, their signage could be on the street corner where to take a turn, because their shop warehouse is a tad too hidden.

This is a wonderful place to get meat. We buy our prime rib here every year for Christmas dinner. They also have premium cuts of beef and they're bacon is great.

Thought this was just a wholesale plant. Nope! Delicious meat and seafood, fresh like a butcher shop.

I've noticed sometimes the meat is good sometimes bad . We preordered this time and when we got the meat to the car we noticed ALL the pork was green. We got harrassed by the rude receptionist trying to gey them to replace it. Beware. Check all of your meat.
