Title: Looking for a good butcher around south king county area
Post by: GWA Hunter on September 21, 2012, 04:41:05 PM: I'm trying to find a good butcher in the south king county area for deer season. I like pepperoni sticks and some breakfast sausage to go with my steaks and hamburger. I used to use Green Valley and really liked them but they have stopped. I have used B and E meats over the years and their pretty good but are reallllllllly spendy. Anyone have any ideas around Auburn, Enumclam, south king county area. Thanks.

Phone 253-843-1664

31017 8th Ave. S

I know this is not south King county, but worth the travel from Auburn area. I traveled from Kitsap county.

Majority of the comments I hear are good too, had a buddy that worked for them through high school said it was a cool place.

Last year did 3 deer in all pepperoni, breakfast sausage, jerky and loved it all. I plan on taking my families deer and elk there again this year.

+1 on Linds meats. Went there for years until i moved. He is the only butcher i know of that you are garanteed to get your own deer back. Just be warned ,it better be clean or Mike will give you an ear full....

Thought the guys name was Bill, but hell I can't remember my kids names most of the time. I know it's right down from the Bakery. Also try his Chorizo, best I've ever had and I grew up in south central Cal with lots of great Mexican food. Great dish for hunting and easy to make with eggs and tortilla's

Post by: buglin4bulls on October 10, 2012, 04:18:25 PM: I have used LINDS all my life and same with everyone i know. They do such good work. Plus they use every inch of meat possible off your deer/elk etc. They will make you whatever, however. Great guys in that shop. Mike and Paul both take pride in what they do there. Spin05 said it well Try and keep it clean.

Post by: hoytem on October 10, 2012, 04:22:55 PM: Both Mike and Paul are excellent!! If you ever get a bear get their sweet-hot jerky :drool: And yea Mike turned my elk away once, wasn't very dirty in my humble opinion but they had a full cooler and it did have some pine needles on it. From then on we've made sure it's super clean.
