What People Are Saying About A & J Meats & Seafood Inc

In Short – A & J Meats has crowned Queen Anne hill for nearly 50 years and is jampacked on weekends--with good reason. Meats of all kinds are aged, smoked, cured and cooked right on the premises, with TLC. For breakfast, lunch or dinner, there's a specially prepared link, rib, roast or chop in their case. Non-cooking carnivores can dig into the full menu of oven-ready entrees, such as beef Wellington, marinated leg of lamb or chicken Kiev. – – –

Editor's Tips

The Extras:
Grab a toothpick, and sample whatever's offered up on top of the meat case. Don't be shy about seconds.
Know Before You Go:
A&J thoughtfully carries big spuds for baking, potato rolls and gravies to augment your meal.

I am so glad that there's a terrific fish place nearby!

I am so glad that there's a terrific fish place nearby!

Granted, in Seattle we're pretty spoiled with good fishmongers but it is just way too convenient not to have to travel much at all to get to A&J. The only downside is that I tend to park in back and thus just HAVE to go through the little wine market in the way to A&J and of course I just HAVE to pick up a bottle to go that that night's dinner.

They have a great selection and while I haven't yet tried anything but fish from A&J I'm sure all of their meats are top-notch. The staff is friendly and helpful, and that tends to say a lot about a business.

Great find!

I love this store. I love to cook and try new cuts of meat and they can always get me what I want. They DO take credit cards now by the way and I always call ahead to order so its ready when I arrive.

Well worth the effort

by kristiemiller at Citysearch

Delicious meats, high quality and great service. I used them for the first time on Thanksgiving (getting a wonderful 22 lb turkey) and have an order in for my Christmas rib roast. Roasts are dry aged, so they're tender and tasty. Supermarket meat no more! Well worth the hassle to go up to Queen Anne.

Just remember that they only take cash or check. I forgot and had to drive all over the hill trying to find a cash machine :)

  • Pros: High quality meat, fast service, wonderful employees
  • Cons: parking can be tight
