Bob's Quality Meats — Attraction in Seattle

I wanted to share a disappointing experience I had during a recent visit. I frequently shop here and have always appreciated supporting a small and local business. My husband is active duty military, and I asked the staff member assisting me whether you offer a military discount.

Her response was unexpectedly curt and dismissive. She replied, “Only active duty,” to which I clarified, “Yes, we are.” She then stated the discount was only 5%, which surprised me, as many businesses, especially small or veteran-friendly ones (especially ones so close to LAFB). Future note for your business- It may be worth reviewing this policy to remain competitive and supportive of the military community.

She said she needed to check, and when she returned, she asked for my ID in a way that felt unnecessarily harsh and unfriendly. I immediately said yes of course, presented it and thanked her multiple times throughout the interaction, but I left feeling disrespected and uncomfortable.

As a frequent customer here, this experience was disappointing. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, as I truly have enjoyed supporting your business, however, I’m now unsure if I’ll...

Bob's Quality Meats is an obvious institution in Columbia City and I enjoyed my visit. I visited on a Friday afternoon and there was a short wait. It's a bit of a throwback to the local butchers in their white outfits and aprons. The people working there were friendly and answered any questions thoroughly. There was a large selection of meats and they had been busy because their stocks were somewhat lower for Father's Day. I was told by another customer that the butcher can do any cut you ask for and prepare it for you as well. I didn’t buy any fresh meats but I did buy a few pepperoni sticks. I bought the smoked, teriyaki, and the jalapeno sticks. All of them were good and salty but I enjoyed the jalapeno stick for its spicy kick that was a nice variation. The teriyaki was good as well with a bit a sweetness. I would definitely return for a great selection if I was in the market...
