I recently tried this “lake house lime and chili” flavored beef jerky from Stewart & Co.
I was really impressed with the calorie count and serving size. This will satisfy your post-lunch hunger pangs without spending too many calories in the process. Very healthy.
The meat itself was tender and flavorful, without being overly salty or spicy. I really enjoyed it. Grab yourself a pack!
These little chubby, stubby beef and pork snack sticks were tasty.
Tough to choose a favorite between the two, but both were low calorie and satisfying.
I’ll have to keep my eye out for more flavor varieties. I definitely recommend.
This is a pretty good sized snack for just 45 calories.
Not too salty, good texture, and the casing around it wasn’t too thick.
I would definitely eat this fucker again.
I took this bag of jerky down at the airport while my wife and I were waiting for a delayed flight.
It was a bit tough, unfortunately. I think much of the meat was flank or skirt, which is fine, but it just wasn’t very tender and the fat didn’t soften up too much. It was kinda dry too, and made my jaw muscles hurt to tear and chew at it so much.
Anyway, I’ll carry the rest of this over from my Biltong USA review as well, just so you can see the pics and get the full context:
When my wife and I went to Savannah, we saw this sign and absolutely had to investigate.
It turns out they were selling a lot of Buffalo Bob’s products, and I’ve pretty much tried every single one of them already.
I was somewhat bummed until I saw two other meat snack brands that I hadn’t tried yet. The first was Biltong USA, and the second was this brand, Horton’s, which was local out of Georgia.

I had always been curious about Biltong, a popular African meat snack that is similar to beef jerky, only sliced differently. As you can see it is lived in such a way that makes for a more tender eating experience than many styles of jerky.
I really liked this product, and will definitely be buying it again in any flavors I can find. This one was garlic flavored. Delicious.
I found Duke’s Meats at a food show/convention and I was blown away by the flavor and quality of these beef snacks.
These are their “shorty sausages,” and they may look like standard jerky sticks but they’re 1000x better. No oily, waxy, greasy, skin-wrapped feel. No overly salted taste. No over the top spices to mask the terrible quality of the meat inside. This is all delicious!
The original has a mild spice to it, and the hatch green chili has a slight kick of bright, fresh green that will wake up your taste buds and have you craving more. I highly recommend these babies. In fact I think I’ll be getting some more very soon.
I came across Think Jerky at a food convention. They sent me a package of five flavors to sample. Sriracha Honey (turkey), Ginger Orange (beef), Sweet Chipotle (beef), Thanksgiving (turkey) and Classic (beef).
I was really impressed with the texture and quality of the meat in these babies. Very tender.
Sriracha Honey tastes exactly how it sounds – a punch of heat, tempered back by some sweet. Very nice. It’s no wonder that is their best seller.
My favorite, though, was the ginger orange. It was such a nice divergence from common jerky flavors. A slight hint of citrus and the bright bite of ginger – I really loved it.
Another uncommon jerky was the Thanksgiving pack. And yes, it’s turkey jerky. You really get a full helping of those classic Thanksgiving herbs and flavors like thyme, sage and garlic. Lots of times turkey jerky doesn’t actually TASTE like turkey. It just tastes like “substance.” But Think Jerky’s turkey jerky actually tastes like poultry. It’s really nice.
I highly recommend this stuff.
My wife got me these jerky roses by Say It With Beef for Valentine’s Day, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the quality and flavor.
So cool! There were three flavors: original, peppered and teriyaki. My favorite was the peppered, but they were all great. The stem of the rose is edible too. They have a dry but not hard consistency. Good beefy and savory flavor through and through, and they come with a nice pint glass instead of a vase.
I highly recommend these for any meat lover.
Brandt offers some excellent beef jerky. The texture is tender, and the orange teriyaki was my favorite of their flavors, with “Volcanic Jalapeno” coming in a close second.
BBQ and volcanic:
Orange and cracked pepper:
As you can see, the orange is a bit more “wet” looking than the dry cracked pepper, BBQ and volcanic jalapeno.
This is some of the better jerky in my repertoire. I definitely recommend it if you come across this stuff.
I finally got around to trying Jack Link’s jerky. It’s amazing I hadn’t caved to their awesome Sasquatch marketing campaign sooner, because I really liked those commercials.
Don’t ever fuck with a cryptozoid… Anyway, I picked up a bag of sweet and hot.
The texture is tender, and the beef doesn’t seem to get stuck in your teeth when chewing. The flavor is spot on spicy and sweet. A really fine commercial brand jerky. I’ll definitely be picking up more flavors.
