Jed’s Jerky

If you want a healthy, full of protein, and on the go food on your way to Vegas. I suggest stopping in here to get some Jerkies. Their Jerkies are juicy and meaty. It’s quite expensive than a big Mac, but its worth the taste and you feel healthy too

So many mixed emotions about this overpriced, addictive, oh so tender jerky. I have to break down my review in parts, as there are so many good and bad things to tell you about! Here I go, try to keep up.
5 stars for the brisket jerky. This is the soft one usually in smaller chunks versus larger rougher pieces. This shit is freakin’ melt in your mouth amazing. Super soft texture and full of flavorful. (That soft makes it weigh more, we’ll get to that) A few of my favorite flavors are original, sweet & spicy, and hot & spicy.
3 stars for the other jerky. You know the normal get stuck in your teeth kind. It’s good yes. But not worth the price. (again, we’ll get to that) The only thing that stands out are the flavors. I like the habanero one.
4 stars for the fact that you are almost always there. Mad props to you for being there on a Sunday night. Or any other time I’m driving home from Cali 9am-​9pm. Very cool.
Ok, now it gets ugly. Well, a little.
1 star for your stupid, STUPID sample policy. First off, it’s inconsistent. One day we can both try a sample. The next time only one of us can. Time after that, no samples. I could understand if I was some annoying traveling teenager. Or a group of tourists on a bus. But a couple, who you admitted you recognize and see more than once?! Probably because each time we spent over $ 40 in dam jerky?! Yeah– not cool bro.
2 stars for prices. I understand inflation, and travel cost, and owning your own business. Which is why I did 2 stars instead of 1. But $ 3.99 per oz of jerky is insane. That’s all.
3 stars for service. One day you give me the whole explanation of why jerky is what it is, and the next day it’s like I stole your puppy. Being in a customer service field, that’s just unacceptable to me. And if you weren’t so stingy with the samples I could probably forgive the bad days, but.. .
So will I still buy your jerky. Yep.
Will I be mad about it, eh, probably.

I won’t lie the jerky here is delicious !! It’s very pricy though … Try the cowboy sugar free

Has to make a pit stop in this Barstow Station. This Jed’s is located inside a little small strip-​that houses a Mikey D and other fast food dining. Just when I was leaving-Jed’s caught my eye. I don’t know if Vegas left me delirious or what. Price was $ 3.99 per gram-​wtf was I buying gold or what?
Anyways, I wallowed over to the counter and the guy behind the counter kept counting money in the cash register. I’m sure I was the only «sucker» that ventured to his little store. The pickings were slim on the jerky, however I had a drive back into LB.
After paying $ 14.00 for a few pieces, and heading back to the Tacoma to tear into the package… jerky was just MAH! I was embarrassed to ask the guy to put it back, and if I was the only sale he made today-​then I helped someone’s day

Quite an unfortunate experience on our drive through Barstow.
My boyfriend and I were stoked to see Jed’s Jerky– tons of great sounding flavors and even a few different meats. On trips in the past, we have paid waaay too much money for small servings of terrible airport beef jerky, and almost nothing can keep us away from good jerky. Turns out, «almost nothing» consists entirely of Jed or his employee, whoever it was that was there.
First off, the entire time he was talking to us, he was on his cell phone, reading and laughing at something. Sentences were cut off and split in the middle while he attending to whatever it was he was doing. Don’t worry, that alone wouldn’t have scared us off.
We wanted to sample 3 types: Buffalo, sweet-​and-​hot, and a spicier style. Our server was adamant that we could each have one sample, OR, he suggested, we could let one of us take both to decide between two. While playing on his phone, he rudely repeated that it was one sample only until he had rung «something» up, even through assurance we would make a purchase and the offer to put money «down».
While I trust my boyfriend’s taste, and selecting a jerky I didn’t like wouldn’t be the end of the world, the lack of customer service, poor manners, and impoliteness were too much and we left beef-​jerky-​less.
