On 1/3/2026 Anita Ledesma-Trevino had this to say:
I love it that they have a vast variety of meats, bones and cuts. Their beef jerky is VERY tasty. I'll have to come back again on open hours. You should give them a try!

On 12/27/2025 Faith Bass had this to say:
In the 5 years I've been buying from Buds I have never had an issue with any of the meat I bought. Every chance I get I swing by to grab jerky and dried beef and whatever else I might find for the road. My kid loves the stuffed olives. You can not go wrong with Buds!

My son won our first beef lover’s bundle through the Union Christmas party last year. It was the best. Now Ordering our 3rd bundle tomorrow. We drive 75 miles from Illinois to go and pick it up. That’s how much we like it.
