Great place to buy meat, wine, produce and more. I forgot plants and it is lower price compare to bigger store. You are paying for quality and supporting local store. Been shopping here for decade and no complain.
I love this place, lots of healthy foods.
We absolutely love this place. We come here weekly to get our produce since we go through it so quickly. Ive experienced an actual line here maybe 3 times in 5 years, it is an amazing gem that keeps us coming back. Also, Im proud to say we probably have at least 15 of the amazing pots that get put out front for sale!
Super fresh produce and great meat! I love the HUGE strawberries they get! 🙃
Really high quality food and produce. Unique item throughout the store. Friendly and helpful staff.
Very impressive selection of produce. I love coming here for fruits and veggies. Certain pantry staples can get a little bit overpriced here but its a good balance. Lots of great plants to look at outside too
I’m not sure why they advertise ‘lowest prices in town’ when literally any place in town has the same items for less. They were trying to pass off a 5 dollar, 5inch pot (maybe 15 in Seattle’s snootiest plant store) for 40. Not glazed, not really embellished or decorated at all. I thought it was an inventory number because I thought there was no way they could charge that much for it. Update: found the same pot at Portland Ave. Nursery, glazed, for a third of the price.
The food is great quality and the staff is awesome, but the prices are expensive
I just love this place. Good quality food and good prices. They’ve got a great selection of beers and fine wines. Excellent meat department and they also have amazing smoked salmon. So support the local Tacoma boys and shop here first,
I went to the Puyallup location on 8/31/21. I saw multiple unmasked customers in the store. I immediately took the item I had already gathered to the cashier and asked why unmasked people were being allowed inside. The cashier told me that they were not allowed to “harass” unmasked customers by telling them to mask-up or leave. I told her that it was not harassment to uphold the public health laws. She disagreed and insisted it was harassment. I reminded her of governor’s mask mandate, requiring masks in all indoor public spaces. She said that she thought the unmasked customers were “fine” in the store, and refused to require them to mask. I left the store and will not shop there until the owner/manager requires his stores to follow state public health protocol. Many people who shop there are seniors, in multigenerational households, or have family members who would be devastated by Covid. It is Tacoma boys responsibility to follow public health mandates! I will let all my relatives, friends and neighbors know not to shop there anymore.
Great grocery store. I love the flowers and plants they have outside of the store. They have one of the best butcher shops in town
Initially I was impressed by this grocery stores selection of products and gluten free items but it appears they do not bother to keep up on expiration dates for critical items such as fresh meat. Bought some fresh Bratwurst sausages here and noticed at home that they had expired almost two months ago this could have put someone in the hospital just saying...
Quality Store with quality product. From sweet to sour to ghost pepper, thier sauce selections wont disappoint!!
Although I like this store, I’m leaving a 1 star review because I was sold rotten strawberries at a premium price. The top layer of strawberries looked great, but when I got home and started washing the berries, I discovered all the bottom berries were covered in white mold. It was really disappointing!I tried to email customer service to resolve the issue privately, but the email bounced back because the address was invalid. I shop at stores like Tacoma Boys for quality produce and meats – I get that sometimes things happen and mistakes are made, but they should stand by their products sold and have functioning customer service contact information available to resolve issues like this.
Love this store! A little pricey but excellent selection of gluten free items and fresh local produce. The staff are always a pleasure to deal with and the kids love the amazing candy selection.
Just walked in to purchase some nice steaks and witnessed an employee cleaning the inside of the glass of the meat display cases... problem is he was spraying windex all over the meat because he was spraying the glass directly. Will not be back if this is how they treat food safety.
Very disappointed. I called ahead to ask if they had lobster tails and blueberry pie. I was passed around to different departments to ensure they had these two items. I was told lobster tails were from Brazil. I immediately made the drive there on Mother’s Day. They do not actually carry blueberry pie and the lobster tails from the “fresh” meat department were frozen solid and from Canada. Won’t be going back.
Always very helpful! I went there for green tomatoes and they had them! Thank you Tacoma boys!
Great steaks, strawberries looks good and sweet corn 🌽😋😀
Best meat around....and they have great prices!
Always find what I need here. My favorite store in Tacoma
Very welcoming staff and energetic vibes I love shopping here for flowers and food. It’s definitely a nice experience
Extreme wide variety of products that needs to be taken seriously in a good way! They have a complete aisle dedicated to gluten-free products. Their meat, seafood and produce are top quality. Ive been shopping here for the last 30 years. I wouldnt steer you wrong. 💪
They had a great selection of herbs. I went in for Basil & a beautiful purple basil. Chemical free.
They have an excellent meat counter & can get specialty meat like prime rib if you call & order ahead of time.
Always the best produce! And their bean dips and salsas are my fave!
I wish I lived closer to this incredible storehouse of good stuff. We stopped because I had been told about their gorgeous pottery. If you are looking for large frost proof pots for your garden... this is the place! Stunning collection - they are not inexpensive BUT they are heavy duty and beautifully glazed. I would love about a dozen of them for my patio area!!!! And of course, Tacoma Boys has all the pots surrounded by lovely flowers, herbs and baby lettuces. Its fun to wander about. Then we entered to find more flowers and pots followed by displays of fruit, veggies and aisles of exotic taste treats. This place is like Trader Joes on steroids ( and I LOVE TJs).If you are in the area... stop in! There is not a chance you wont find something that will make your tastebuds happy.And the staff was super cool and helpful! Did I mention I wish they were closer? I mean it. Great store.
Great selection, good looking food. My first time here, but Ill certainly be coming back
Best Veggies and Meat Around.. Also a great Flower and Plant Selection..
I love this place. Dont expect cheap. Do expect fresh, local produce and a very good selection of niche foods and lots of beer and wine. They also have herb and vegetable plants aplenty during the growing season.While I wouldnt do my weekly shopping here, I would definitely recommend it for building that special dinner with quality ingredients.
Always love this place. Great variety of high quality food beer and wine.
Well-curated and large beer and wine selection.
Love this place, Ive been here just over 15 years!
Beautiful flowers - great variety - friendly helpful staff
😮Theres WAY too many great things here!!! WHERE DO YOU START?!?? BUT THAT BACON THOUGH🤯❗Im absolutely a regular customer now!! Thanx so much for all the great stuff that keeps me coming back, and keeps me stuck in your store!!🤭Thanx again!!🤓👍👍❤️
I love TACOMA Boys, they have amazing products!
Yummy yum yum... Cotton candy flavored grapes!!! Their own no salt seasoning makes the food good!
Was there with a client and it was not Handicapped excessible at all! I was Super disappointed.
I have never picked up any bad meat, seafood, or produce from this place. My favorite in town.
Lots of great food. Not too booshy either. I really like the butcher section. The new fresh baked items are great too.
Always loved this place but theyve recently expanded their vegan selection and its incredible! Always keeping up with whats going on, fresh food, and amazing friendly staff.
This is a great neighborhood store with an excellent butcher counter, including seafood, and a outstanding produce department. Today I found New Mexico hatch peppers, which are virtually unheard of in our area, at least fresh that is, and was super pleased. These guys never fail to impress. I just wish the store was bigger and had even more great selection.
Produce Selection is meh, ceramic and pottery offering is Buy 1, get 2 Free, but what they have are so overpriced that it is challenging to find any value in this proposition. What is truly sad and the real travesty of this location, is the wine selection.Billing itself as the largest selection of beer and wine in Tacoma, it may well check that box. The shelves are full various winery detritus.They do offer a variety of wines at different price points. What they have is overpriced for what it is. There are no hidden gems or even, value for money bottles on offer. To me, it seems like they take whatever their wine broker offers at each price point, with no thought or skill in editing what they put on their shelves. For national brands, with same wine pricing $2 to $10 more per bottle, youd be better off just popping into Safeway and picking something that fits your budget.
Always a great place. Didnt have pork ribs today. A little bummed. Had a few things as they do.
Got the best salmon there..great place.. great variety of specialty items
Great place to shop for local produce and more. Very helpful and friendly staff.
Clean, safe distancing. Most of the folks were at the meat counter which left plenty of room to shop the rest of the store. Everything looked fresh. Great place to shop.
Their meat is absolutely delicious. We got kobe burgers, Bratwurst and a bacon wrapped meat loaf! I smoked everything and it turned out delicious
Fabulous variety and choices a small mom and pop store. Could easily esnder around for hours!
I am impressed with selections and giant inventory. Produce is fresh
Great service. I got there as they were putting things away in the meat department but the workers were very friendly and willing to help me out.
This place should be what every grocery store models after. Best beer selection, great food selections, and its compact so no need to hike for groceries.
Love this place! Excellent wine selection, pristine produce and top notch quality meats and fresh seafood! One stop shop for a special meal or a quick in and out when youre in a hurry. 😁👍
Great meat department
Great year round farm stand huge beer and wine selection.
First time in and was in awe fabulous place will definitely be back
Always love going there. So much variety and the employees are super nice. Wonderful selection of vegan and gluten free items. Definitely a great place to go if youre a celiac and follow a vegan diet.
I got some candy salmon. They have lots of beer, wine and plants. This was my first time here.
Besides finding several products with fillers, flavorings, preservatives, food colors, nitrates, and emulsifiers, the staff were friendly and helpful.We remember the store brand breads, coconut cookies/macaroons, some unsliced bacon, Amish popcorn, and frozen foods with all kinds of additives.We found this worth mentioning as Tacoma Boys states on their website that their mission is to sell real food from a high quality source.“Tacoma Boys is your local specialty market committed to sourcing products from the highest quality source. Our goal is to serve our communities the best selection of real food, ranging from fresh, handpicked produce to thoughtfully curated meats and cheeses. From local fare to ingredients found around the world, get all the best, right here in the South Sound.”They also sell Coca Cola in a can, Flamin hot cheetos, haagendaz ice cream and hydrogenated lard. Sorry TB, these are not real foods from highest quality sources.On a lighter note, the produce and fresh meat look great. We also appreciate that you sell products of protected origin. Those are our favorites.
Never been here before, Very well maintained store, great customer service and a huge selection of item in a pretty small place.
Did not find what we wanted but did buy avocados.
Everything seems fresh they are a bit pricey. Being open 24hrs a day is a big plus for me!
Love this place. If need a community market this is it
I cant ever get any farther the Beer aisle, but I bet the rest of the store is just as awesome. 5 stars for customer service alone.
Some of the best produce you can get! And their butcher shop is fantastic. Plus theyre 24/7 so super convenient.
Always amazingly clean and big variety 😍, check it out.
Its super clean,, Smells great, amazing customer service and night time is the best time to go.Abit pricey but thats natural as the good stuff always is. Produce (fruits) has no chemicals on them so they dont last long in fridge or on counters but you can taste the quality
A Tacoma Staple! I enjoy my shopping experience everytime, wonderful staff!
Fresh meat, seafood, produce. love that theyre open 24 hours- i ususally shop after work (11pm) and i like not feeling rushed.
Great selection of fresh produce and local items. Excellent beer and wine selection. Great place for a stop to get a snack or to the weeks groceries. Friendly and helpful staff always make my visits a great experience.
Just browsing I drive buy all the time but never stopped in. They had lots of fresh fruit a huge wine selection a garden department and a deli with fresh cut meats. Im definitely going to comeback for a few things.
Excellent organic selections!
Tacoma Boys Rule. Good local produce, solid meat/fish selection. Signature seasonings and rubs that are often cheaper/tastiesr than their brand name counterparts. Tacoma boys is not cheap but it is the place I go to eat fresh, local, & delicious food.
Picked up some scallops so I can make scallops wrapped with bacon for dinner tonight they look wonderful also got some sourdough bread that looks fabulous
Beautiful product. Fun selection. Good service. Very high prices.
Great place with beautiful flowers and fruit but EXPENSIVE!
Parking may be challenging for some here but, this is hands down my favorite grocery store in Tacoma. Great meat selection, beer and wine, cheese, all the good stuff for Adult dinner parties or just living your best life. Solid candy corner too
Awesome butcher selection. Great folks.
Tacoma boys is one of my favorite stores unfortunately this location leaves much to be desired.... Bypass this location and go to Tacoma boys S.hill Puyallup.... Its spendy but so worth the drive!!! Or if you want to stay in Tacoma theres always metropolitan market!!!
We love this place. Always have a great selection of fruit and vegetable. And their hot sauce collection is to die for
Great atmosphere. Some items are easily found elsewhere for much less, but this market has all the feels and makes up for it with other unique finds and oldfashion-esque deli.
I called and asked if they had fresh seafood. They said yes. I arrived and I found the seafood section and this was it. I asked someone working if they have fresh stuff anywhere or just frozen and he said they just carry frozen.
This is my favorite place to food shop! Fresh fruits and vegetables were plentiful. The meat department has great variety and the service is fantastic.
I had the best experience at a store in Washington, hands down. First of all, my 4 year old needed to use the bathroom. I was certainly prepared for there not being one, or it being inaccessible to the public for COVID. But thankfully, they allowed him to use the one in the back.Add this experience to the incredibly friendly customer service all the way around, to the large selection, and Ill be going out of my way for sure to continue shopping here! :)
The cashier wouldnt take a hundred dollar bill at 7:30 am when my total was 72 dollars which Only required 28 dollars in change back to me. Good thing I had my debit card or I wouldnt have been able to make breakfast
This is one of my absolute favorite local grocery stores for numerous reasons. My top being that the quality of the fruit and vegetables is one of the best for competitive prices. This store is open 24/7 and as somebody who has worked night shift I cant even begin to express how much I appreciate those hours making it possible for me to keep myself well fed.
Best part about this place is fresh cage free meat. The butcher is the best place to get fresh steak, chicken, etc.
Great food, great staff, in and out in a flash. What more can you want.
Great! Always friendly cashiers!
Great food, not so great prices... but excellent selection of beer for good prices! Definitely my go to for unique small batches Ive never heard of before.
