    Wild Game Jerky Flavors

    The staff here were super friendly and welcoming. I actually ended up sitting down in one of the comfortable leather chairs and chatting with them for a while, which made the visit feel more like stopping in to visit a local shop than simply making a quick purchase.

    The selection of jerky was extensive with an amazing variety of unique and unusual meats, far beyond typical beef jerky. They had everything from mako shark, camel, alligator, rabbit, turtle, turkey, python, and salmon, along with plenty of beef options, just to name a few.

    Depending on the type of meat, the jerky was available in different forms, including sticks, strips, and thicker slabs.

    They also offered free samples of some of the beef flavors. I tried the sweet and spicy, hot, and natural varieties, and all three were good. I have to admit, though, I wasn't quite adventurous enough to buy an entire package of the more unusual wild-game variety without knowing what they tasted like. I ended up leaving with a bag of sweet & spicy.

    If you're a jerky fanatic or just enjoy trying unusual foods, this is definitely a place worth visiting. The huge selection, unique meats, friendly staff, and free samples make it a fun stop even if you don't end up buying anything unusual.
