The Swinery

Fantastic local meats and cheeses. The people are the best. One of my favourite "local neighbourhood gems" I have found in my travels. And the food from the grill is just incredible.

This was easily my top3 burgers in Seattle. The quality of pork meat is just top. The Spectacular contains both pulled pork and pork belly. The fat of the belly is surprisingly not that greasy. Also, the lady working there was very friendly and pleasant. She alone will earn a star.

I had high expectations of this place given the rave reviews about the selection, food and service. The Swinery exceeded all of it. In fact, this may well be one of the few places I'm willing to drive 45 minutes out for. It was my first time coming here and I came in the later afternoon. The lady behind the counter was busy slicing meat behind the counter and turned around to acknowledge me. She asked it it was my first time at the Swinery, offered recommendations and gave me time to make a decision without bothering me. I hear the Cubano is the popular item on the menu, but I was in the mood for Poutine and a side of Pork Belly. Both items did not disappoint. The Poutine was $11, but I think it was worth the price. It came in a large box with a gracious amount of gravy, cheese curds and crispy, fried french fries. It was so delicious and filling. I think this is something to be shared next time. The side of Pork Belly came in three small slices and lightly sprinkled in salt flakes. They were fried and the fat was still juicy. Everything was delicious and filling. The lady behind the counter was very nice. She recognized all her regular customers that came in and was very hospitable to new ones. Her personality was amazing and genuine. I think I'll come back for the Cubano and share some fries next time. I forgot to take home the Porterhouse Pork Chop & Smoked Bacon.

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
