Nice meat market. Was hoping to get some elk steaks but they appeared to be out when I was there. Got some other delicious meat though. My cat seems to like the elk jerky.

Rating purely on beef jerky and the buying experience - I can only say 10/10. I live in Mitchellville and got a chance to test some original jerky and was immediately hooked. There has been only one comparable jerky this good I've tried out of dozens of brands and flavors, and one comparable one, the company, Firehouse, is no longer in business. This jerky is on par or better, and far superior to any other out there. The purchase process was easy, the shipping was quick, and the price was well worth it. I tried the Cajun, the Hot, and of course got more Original jerky. The original is perfectly flavorful and salty. The hot has the best blend of spices. The cajun is delicately balanced and not overpowering the flavor. If you're looking for a perfectly seasoned, DRY jerky, that your mouth adds the perfect amount of moisture to, to create a perfect concoction of joy in your mouth, this is the jerky for you. Please support this business, they know what they're doing.

I was traveling so could only try the jerky and a couple slim packs of lunch meat. I ate some of the Jerry while driving and turned around to go buy more. Some of the best I ever had.

I like visiting while in town for Trek Fest. Great products and excellent customer service! This very minute I'm eating a burrito made with Bud's smoked pork sausage that's diced and scrambled with eggs, Mexican blend cheese, and some taco sauce. It's tasty! Great job on the meat products, folks!
