Beef Jerky Experience Dundee — Local services in Dundee Township

My wife and I have shopped here at least a dozen times when we make trips south through Ohio. And based on those experiences, we believe that this store offers excellent product variety, great service, reasonable prices, and high quality products. Overall, we give it 5 stars, with more details offered below.

Excellent Product Variety: This store offers a great variety of meat snack products, including jerky and snack sticks made from beef, turkey, venison, buffalo, elk, and other wild and exotic meats. This store also offers a great selection of pre-packaged gourmet popcorn, with various combinations of savory and sweet toppings.

Great Service: The staff in this store are polite, helpful, and knowledgeable about the products. During our most recent shopping experience here, the staff gave us time and space to browse, but when they noticed we had paused for a while on a certain product, they gently asked if we had any questions, which we did, and they were immediately knowledgeable and provided the information we needed. They then invited us to try many more samples of the various jerky until we found what were looking for.

Reasonable Prices: The prices have gone up here recently. During our most recent shopping experience here, we paid around $70 for two 12oz bags of jerky. That being said, inflation has driven up costs across the economy, and I have absolutely no doubt that it has become even more expensive to produce high quality meat snacks by properly and humanely raising livestock (or hunting wild game), seasoning, smoking, preserving, packaging, shipping, and stocking the meat snacks, and then covering those inventory overhead costs for weeks or months until a customer buys the product. I will say that these tend to be premium quality meat snacks, so consider that factor when considering the value-to-price relationship.

High Quality: Both the meat and popcorn snacks here have almost always been of consistently high quality. We don't like to consume MSG, and the meat and popcorn products that contain MSG consistently feature appropriate identification in the ingredients list.

• The only quality exception that we noticed was during our most recent visit, we purchased a 12oz bag of garlic beef jerky, but unlike the samples that we tried, most of the jerky in the bag was extremely dried out. To clarify that last point, we know that jerky is preserved through dehydration, which prevents the growth of microorganisms in the meat tissue; however, we believe that proper jerky also needs to retain some minimal moisture content so the consumer can actually taste the flavor of the snack and also enjoy the texture of the snack. And this particular pack... whether due to the preparation method, the environment it was stored in, the length of time on the shelf, or the strength of the desiccant in the package... was so dried out that we could barely taste the garlic flavor and the texture was metaphorically equivalent to trying to gnarl through the hide of an old baseball. Again, the sample we tried in the store was delicious and had the appropriate amount of moisture and therefore great flavor and texture, but the product we actually purchased and paid nearly $35 for was quite disappointing. Again, this is the only time we have been disappointed with the quality of a product that we...

I recently visited this jerky outlet, shopping specifically for a Christmas gift. After reading the reviews I was some what skeptical. However I didn't let that discourage me. While my visit here I was greeted promptly and the service I received was very accommodating and informative as I'm not very educated on "authentic jerky". The sales associate explained the sales they were currently offering as well as ALL of the jerky flavors, types etc. During my visit here I was also approached by what later I found out was another local jerky store owner who tried to discourage me from making a purchase at this location and suggested I go down the road to the "other" jerky store. (little did I know it was the "other store owner" telling me this - trolling). I highly recommend that if you are new to purchasing authentic jerky that you shop AT THIS location. They have a large selection and they are HONEST. You can't put a price on honesty and...

Every time we are in town we have to stop in and visit the store and buy up some goodies! This time was no different. We particularly love Their Smoked White Fish and this time we received a recommendation to try the Ozark Stout Ale Mustard to accompany it along with our Almond Nut-Thins Hint of Sea Salt Crackers, it was Wonderful! We also of course had to grab up some of their Beef Jerky, My Husband got The Fire, which is A Ghost Pepper Jerky, I got The Sweet n’ Spicy 1 pound packages. They are so tender and delicious we love them. I also really love the Cinnamon Candied Almonds, they smell like Christmas to me and I just so love them, they bring back childhood memories for me. I would highly recommend this place if you’re in town you definitely need to stop by! The staff is super friendly and it’s just a really nice place to visit. For an additional bonus there’s a smoothie bar...
