Awesome sandwiches, friendly staff, and they don't skimp on the meat.

Denali Williams

Boutique butcher shop with sandwiches and fries.

Theryn Kigvamasudvashti

Service was super friendly, food was super delicious! The B&B is their version of the BLT and it was divine. It is a little pricey but worth the time and care they put into their meats. Not a place to eat at everyday but a few times a month is well worth it.

Seth Hollyman

Tried the swinery burger and some danger fries, did not disappoint. Then again, how can you not love fries in a bacony-cheesy-gravy-goodness? I suspect I'll check out their actual butcher shop offerings in a followup trip. You come here for the meaty goodness, not the decor or service.

Michael Petrone

The meats are so quality, it is full of terrific ready-to-eat meals - and best of all, their deli sandwiches are fatty deliciousness.

Cato Siamese

One of the top meat places I've visited, including the Fatted Calf in Napa..... Great BBQ pork sandwich, piled high with pork and Coleslaw. The place is small, unassuming and the food is devine..... Worth the trip to West Seattle to try

Shaun

Mmmm, pulled pork

Rosemary Jolene

Famous Daves who?! I think this is the best bbq place in town for sure! The meat was amazing and you have to try their sauces.

Gregory Asher

Incredible food, everything is made in house and is exceptionally delicious. It's on the pricey side though but as they say, you get what you pay for. Quality ingredients combined with creative technique. This place isn't just a butchers shop, don't forget to check out their lunch menu too! They're amazing at both, good serving sizes for the menu too. Again, you get what you pay for here.

Amazing Sandwiches Holy Jeez, the pork sandwiches here are amazing. Most of the food is super high quality, if not a bit pricey. But the prepared food is so worth the cost and the wait. Unbelievably delicious. The Swinery Spectacular is the biggest and best sandwich. It's absolutely in a league of its own and is a must-try item if you love pork. The Swine Fries are also phenomenal, dressed with pork fat, garlic, and chives. Perfectly salty. The Cubano was mediocre. Great bread, but half the size of the Spectacular (at the same price). Their version of the BLT is great as well. They offer tap water and cane sugar sodas to drink. I find their cooler meats to be a bit overpriced ($20/lb for most items). If you love pork, look no further for the best sandwiches you've probably never had.

Dave Raley

Really good local place. Would love to pick up some deli meats next time. Between our group we had the BBQ pulled pork and the Carolina pulled pork, as well as the danger fries and the "regular" fries (still fried in the pork fat). The danger fries were good but really rich. If you're concerned about too much flavor, you can order the danger sauce on the side, which id do next time. Overall great food, nice nice service and a good vibe.

Rheanna Hoover

DELICIOUS!!! I'd you're looking for something to eat while they're open, you definitely need to try their food! Very good.

Chris Kerr

This is the go to butcher in the neighborhood. Unbelievably good meats. They give great recommendations. I didn't know that a hangar steak was a thing, now it's my favorite cut. Super smokey meatballs were Hella bomb. The turkey is as good as I have ever had anywhere. Now the real deal, the kitchen will blow your socks off. Amazing sandwiches and fries that you can't beat. I think this is the best burger I ever had. And the one with pulled pork and pork belly is why you should come by. AWESOME

Erik Draaisma

Fantastic sandwiches! Always leave with full belly and a huge smile.

David Vognild

amazing food, the one and only negative review about being late and not getting survive is just stupid. 5 stars all the way!

Verita Johnson

I don't eat pork but heard about their beef bacon and gave it a try. The beef bacon is on point! Someone please make a candle that smells like this place OMG, you get out of your car and start salivating, glad I don't live nearby!

Trevor McNichols

It was our first trip to the Swinery, but we will definitely be back! Tons of great looking meats, very friendly and professional staff, in a great location and tasty food.

Blake Radke

Drove all the way from downtown to check it out, I was one minute past close and they wouldnt let me in. Get real.

Angelo Russoniello

In this place you will find delicious sandwiches. It deserve 5 starts. We ordered "El President and House Deli sandwich" both of them were delicious. And also they have great service.

Christine O'Brien

The garlic fries were intense! I can't believe I'm saying it but they were too garlicy. Not really sure you got $5 worth - felt more like they should have been $3. The B&B Burger was tasty and juicey. I will have to agree with everyone - it was a $13 burger that I had to pay Xtra for to get fries. I bit too pricey. Felt like the combined meal for that burger and fries should have been $15ish not $20

Amber Van Horn

Great sandwiches, topped with good amount of pork, fries fried in pork fat?? #delish Customer service is good.

Mark Callan

Mother of God. So. Unbelievably. Delicious.

Sam Grant

Please, whatever you do, share the sandwich with a friend. It's delicious, but no one should consume it alone. You've been warned. Also their meats are amazing!

Ryan Lettice

Delicious.

Jim Taylor

Great sandwhiches and fries! Great hospitality!

Christopher Vincent

Fries questionable, USE PLATES MESSY AS HELL!!

tony potts

Igor Misyura

A bit pricy but really good

Devin Burnett

Yes the food is excellent and worth it!

Matt Strople

Awesome people serving great food. A tad pricey, but totally worth it.

Jason DePue

This may be the best pulled pork you will ever eat! Seriously!!!

Jordan Bentley

Incredible!! Wish I could give more stars.

Janusz Ostrycharz

Sorry to lose Mr. Claycamp. This is a brilliant brainchild.

Kaneki 910

The food is alright. Nothing over the top great. The chick at the counter is not a nice person.

SMinkhop

Beautiful family owned butcher and sandwhich shop. The sandwhiches are to big to fit in your mouth

Jesse Carlson

Great artisan butcher, also good food on site.

Paul Mendoza

So first time I received a bad hanger steak it Smelled of rotten sweet meat it was grey

Doug Cisler

This is just a little hole in the wall, but I had one of the best pork sandwiches that I've ever had. This place would get 5 stars, but it is pretty expensive and there's no real comfortable seating inside, so plan on taking your food to go. The sandwich was so good though, that I will definitely be going back.

Ryan R

Yes. Just, yes. The sandwiches here are what Panera aspires to be but falls well short. There are only a few stools, so don't show up with all your kids and expect to sit. Take it to go, and enjoy an absolutely amazing sandwich that will make you question all of your previous meal choices. I wish I lived closer; I'd eat here almost every day.

nick amundson

local butcher shop with unique cuts from trusted farms, homemade sausages and knowledgeable friendly service. Amazing and nationally recognized sandwiches to go!

Zack Andersen

Absolutely love this place! This will become a new tradition for us. Every time we come to Seattle we have to stop by and eat at The Swinery. Very friendly service and amazing food!

Matthew Davis

This place is more food museum than butcher shop. But you get to eat the art. Seriously. I love this place and wish there were more small businesses like them around these days. Worth the trip. From Florida.

MASON PLAYZ

It was really good

Mark Hoefer

The porcine temple of love

Prince Edward

Worth every penny. Don't balk at the price, pulled pork or pork belly is amazing!

Seth T

Great place for a pulled pork or ham sandwich. Just by the name you can tell they focus on meats. The place is quaint and clean. But there aren't a ton of options, not necessarily a bad thing but just know that if you are coming here you are getting a big stack of tasty meat. It feels very local and friendly I would go back for sure.

Daniela Bailey

Delicious sandwiches!!! Can't wait to go back. El Presidente is AMAZING

dra896

Great food!!!! Okay great isn't quite the word.... EPIC is more like it. If you are going to eat at this place, just remember, wear stretchy pants, come hungry, & you can diet tomorrow. Only 5-6 places to sit down so and it gets "cozy"

Alex Stevens

We came here because we heard the burgers were amazing but we were a little but underwhelmed. The guy behind the counter asked how we would like them cooked and we ordered medium but got burgers that were well done. The bun is too big for the patty and the texture of the party seemed like it have been overworked. The swine fries were good. No free water

David Wall

The sammy I had was so good I sat down on the sidewalk, on my way home, to eat it...

Myrna Hoffman

Thank you Swinery! I rarely crave hamburgers. (Too many bad reactions, I guess, to those anonymous meats.) Yesterday I found myself at the Swinery. What a great surprise!!! Excellent burger, cooked to perfection! Fabulous, hand-cut fries sprinkled lightly with salt and scallions. No bad reaction in the tummy. Oh joy!

Riddell Williams Group

Home to a sandwich that will leave you wanting to go back tomorrow. The Pork Belly and the Carolina pulled pork the poutine is incredible as well.

Trevor Weber

This place does smoked pork really well !!! Had probably the best pulled pork sandwich ever. The fries are great. This place is well worth finding.

Wayne Tucker

Tasty sandwiches. Good selection of raw and cured meats.

Brad Nilsen

So good

Emily Krueger

Ridiculously delicious sandwiches and burgers. Wish we lived closer but maybe it’s better that we don’t...

Ahmad Taylor

Best Ribs I've ever had on the West Coast, maybe ever!!!!!! Try the RIBS you won't be disappointed!!!!!

Caleb Wetherell

Sandwich was tasty, but I didn't think the danger fries (specifically the bechamel) was very flavorful. The ground beef I brought home to make burgers was good.

Alan Kunz

Wonderful pork belly and wonderful owners!

Priscilla Flores

Always pass this place and finally went in. Very interesting little space with an amazing butcher who was very friendly. I left with some recommended charcuterie cuts and candied bacon shortbread. ALL a big hit. Oh, apparently they were voted best burger in Seattle? I have to go back to try.

Frankie Rubio

Cubano is delicious!

Claire B

Great meat and lunch foods! A little pricey but worth it for sure.

Evan Reason

Ive passed by this place for years and finally decided to try it, definitely will be going back

Barbara Lecky

Wonderful selection

jesse wainwright

Bodega style ,,,,very good food and service

floyd thedog

This place has the best BBQ ribs ,hands down,, Burgers are amazing,local grown beef fresh veggies and a crew that knows how to grill and is knowledgeable and friendly,and the fries...bring your appetite, eat it there or take it to go. Must go if you're in Seattle.

Will Flannery

After reading all the nice reviews, I decided to try this for myself and boy am I glad I did. Toasted buns meat piled high, perfect.

Sony Singh

Slow like a turtle, 15 minute over wait to pick up pre ordered food from pickup due time...

Kirk Maringer

Excellent burgers and fries, don’t be fooled by the name! Oh yes they also have great cuts of pork, beef and meats in their case! Sample of the menu below.

Scott Miller

A West Seattle treasure. Tiny shop filled with, well, meat. Mostly, but not exclusively pork. Also a great sandwich menu. My favorite is the Carolina pulled pork, served with an authentic mustard sauce and home made cole slaw.

Maureen Cheal

Bacon lover's paradise! From the caramels to the bacon hot dogs (made with bacon) you will not find a better place to buy free range grass fed meats. 2 thumbs up.

Patrick Glaus

Netter kleiner Imbiss mit grosser Auswahl an Schweinefleisch. Das Hawaiian Sandwich mit Ananas hat mir sehr gut geschmeckt. Nur der Verkäufer war ein bisschen durch den Wind und musste unsere Bestellung mehrfach aufnehmen.

David Garnica

Great great sandwiches in a cozy setting.

Ryan Corriell

The BEST pork sandwich I have ever had, by far!! WOW-UH!!

David Mallory

Very, very good sandwiches

Stephanie Philbrick

Their prices are severely different than what was listed on their website. Website stated their swinery buger at $7, when we went in it was $11. Big difference. But it looked amazing, will be coming back another time to try it.

Alan Pontes

This place is a disgrace. Almost $20 for a Philly Steak sandwich and "fries". Very little steak, sans the advertised provolone, with a whole lot of fried onions. "Fries" were overdone burnt ends of what might have been the waste from a fry cutting plant. Aboslute outrage at this price.

James Provance

I would give it 500 stars if I could...

B

Very friendly staff. I've had the Banh Mi and Swinery Spectacular and both are amazing.

Patty Yoang

This is definitely one of the best sandwiches in the city. Friendly staff, the speed of operation in excellent service. The environment was clean and large
