Took a knife in to be sharpened. Came back sharp enough to shave with! Very friendly staff!

Wow! This place is awesome. My wife and I got tired of the qaulity of meat we get in spokane. I tried 2 of their basic sirloin steaks first, I was not disappointed! Best steak I've had in yearrrrsss. We went back and ordered a 30lb pack asked for a sub on the porkchops (not a huge fan of pork). They happily substituted some ground beef for it! Wonderful people easy to work with. They are worth every penny!

Update: The wait was very long and I was expecting a somewhat lengthy wait but my problem was in the way it happened. Give a date then when it was close they extended the time. It went to almost 4 months from an original of 2 months. Anyway, the meat itself was good. Nice and tender. Even the cheaper cuts of meat were almost tender enough you did not need a knife. I put in another order because they were saying 6 months wait time. Since I was expecting the meat to last me 6 months that would be fine. I upgraded my rating based on the meat itself and took away some for the issues of keep extending the delivery date. Update again...Seems I left my meat locker unlocked or I am going senile...Because I thought I had a few packs of hamburger and a few roasts left. I went today to get the last of it and check on status of my next order (should be in next week) and the locker was empty but lock was locked. So either I am going senile or I left it unlocked and someone took the little that was left and locked it back. They gave me a few packs of hamburger to tie me over until next week. I also use chicken and fish so that will work out just right. At least my locker is completely empty and all new stuff will go in now :)

Not happy with meat quality. I taste more metal in the meat as if it was ground and cut with rusty parts. I had better meat at Safeway or Winco never buying again. You have to use plastic wrap between the meat and freezer paper so the meat was probably to old as far as I can see they need shut down.

Crown foods is awesome, and a great family business. My order for a side is about 7 months. All rhses people complaining about wait time is wrong. Since Covid tno one want to work on the farms which slow things down. The meat is tender and taste is outstanding compared to store bought. Unfortunately, when you pick up your meat, you almost need to submit your next order.

I was unhappy with my experience at Crown Foods. I was specific about how I wanted the meat processed. When I show up to pick up the meat I was told that the quantity of wild game did not allow for it to be processed the way I had requested. Therefore they change my order. If they had given me a phone call this could have all been cleared up before the meat was processed. Instead they just changed my order without asking. The staff was friendly and the final product was packaged well. However when paying a large price for processing and not getting the product you want it is very discouraging. We will not be returning to Crown foods.

The people here were extremely nice. However, after picking up my elk after being processed I was quite disappointed with both the cut and wrap, especially for the price. The meat was not trimmed very well; the roasts had tons of gristle and were rolled with it hidden in the middle. There was quite a bit of hair on the meat, too. All of the meat was only single wrapped with butcher paper and after about a month the meat was beginning to become freezer burnt. I still had some meat from the year before that was wrapped so well it still wasn't freezer burnt. The previous year I had taken my elk to a different place, who charged 25 cents a pound less than crown, and they first wrapped the meat in plastic, then butcher paper, trimmed the meat very well, and I found no hair on the meat. Needless to say, I will be going back to the place who charged less and did a superior job, even if they are a further drive.

Been using Crown for over 20 years for domestic and wild game meat. Scott, his Mother and the rest of the staff are fenominal. They have always treated us awesome through all the years. We will not go anywhere else!

This place is absolutely adorable and has great prices, especially considering the quality. I got bratwursts here, fried one up and it was delicious. I can't wait to share them on fourth of July.

Horrible experience and unfortunately you won't know the damage they do to your meat until after you have paid and taken it home. Of course only then does it get worse over the next few months after you get to things such as your first roast or some mystery meat package. I have been hunting for about 30 years and in excess of 50 animals processed - this is the worst experience I have ever had. The cuts I ordered is not what I received. I also received parts of other peoples game meats. One package in particular was marked as Caribou and I did recognize it as such albeit gamey and tough like it was gut shot and beat to death with the closest small twigs, but what I dropped off was a whitetail deer. My deer came with some packages marked as "Bone in Roast" of which there was no bone and was the gristle meat, and tendon pieces above the knee that should have been burger and would not make an acceptable roast. I specifically told them no roast, Just the best steaks and burger. Another point to address which I brought up to them after delivering my deer, was that my 108 lb whitetail turned into 43 lbs of weighed meat. Their explanation was loss from cleaning the animal. This just after they told me my deer was the cleanest they had seen that year as I brought it out whole, skinned and wrapped on a tarp straight to delivery. From the time I pulled the trigger on a head shot instant death, to them was just under 4 hours. 2 of which was wrapped in 20 lbs of ice bags in a tarp under the canopy of my truck. To make matters worse - a new thing I had never heard of - Dropped off in November - was processed and ready for pickup in February. They informed me shortly after I dropped it off that due to the backup, they would be freezing my deer whole and thawing it for processing when time allowed. I voiced my concern to the process of freezing my deer whole after it has been hung ready for butchering and then thawing to butcher. I was assured they have been doing this for years and most customers request this method for better quality meat. I should have picked it up and taken it somewhere else. My suspicion is that the loss in weight was due to freezer burn and mishandling. Assuming it was my deer I got back, since I did get back some Caribou that was not mine and a two pound package that I am fairly certain was another persons fall bear. Also, I have had my game processed in Alaska, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Texas, Florida, Oregon, Virginia, and North Dakota - never seen the packaging or steak cutting like this before. My back-strap was butterflied open steaks, which is fine, but they left the tendon and collagen tissue attached and I have never seen anybody not fillet the tendon and collagen tissue off before. So every package I opened had really thin backstrap flaps half butterflied open and I had to spend the time cleaning it up for the skillet. That is what I paid them for. Also, Never seen anybody not put plastic wrap around the meat before - they just throw the steaks, roast, burger, whatever right on butcher paper and single wrap it. Some packages were so thin It had exposed meat at the cracks where they didn't use enough paper. And the paper is so thin that by the time they wrapped it an froze it, the blood had soaked through the paper almost see through. I am not going to say you are better off throwing your meat in the garbage, but if it comes down to you losing your meat to the garbage or taking it to them, you are rolling the dice. I do not recommend nor will I ever visit this establishment again. Good Luck if you do - you will need it.

This place is an office from the 50s. Idk if they sell meat but there is nothing on display, a lady so old she could barely walk wasn't able to show me any meat or packages or any display. How does this place stay in business 🤣 …

If you are in need of freezer space Crown Foods on NW Blvd has meat lockers. I spent the day looking for a new deep freeze. None to be found, the hoarders bought those all out also.

My family have been taking our game here for over 50 years and by far they make the best German sausage and there staff is the best. I highly recommend them to anyone.

I love Scott and Gwen but the meat was too tough to chew so I called the store. Due to Covid, they were booked a year in advance so they offered me a refund.

Will never go back. They have high standards and they tell you that for sure. High priced and no different then the store.

Delightful little shop! The people there are wonderful! Will definitely buy meat there again!
