It's not fair to judge this particular location for selling inferior products, but this is where it was bought. My parents got me the sweet and spicy beef jerky and the habanero mango peanuts a part of my christmas gift and both are terrible. Way too much sugar in both. I'll give the jerky a pass because it leads with the sweet, but the peanuts are awful. It's more sugar and artificial fruit flavor than peanut. You get a bit off heat at the end, but the whole point of using habanero chilis is that it has a natural fruity flavor that is completely masked by the sugar and artificial fruit flavor. Could have just used capsaicin extract and would have the same effect. And would be much cheaper. I know this location isn't responsible for production. The company's website shows certain reviews, but doesn't appear to have a mechanism to submit them. Other than to email a specific store. So here I am read more

The owners running the shop were very helpful about explaining the flavors. Got several to take back home to Tennessee and all of them held up very well and didn't get stale at all before eating. read more

This store has become a tradition for me and my dad to stop by every time we're in town I'm sad that they discontinued the Sriracha beef jerky flavor but everything else they sell is fantastic as well if you are looking for something that is still spicy but not ghost pepper spicy might I recommend the mango habanero beef jerky additionally they have a pretty decent selection of hot sauces and other fun things to pick up read more

I stopped in to pick up a few gifts since I was visiting a restaurant a few doors down. Camaron was welcoming and professional when I entered the store. He was helpful and not hovering, which I appreciated. He explained all the specials and pointed me to the single sticks of jerky since there were no samples currently being offered. I definitely purchased more than I would have had it not been for his advice. It's refreshing to see an employee that cares about their company. The jerky was delicious and well received by my family. Will definitely be back! read more

Stopped by here on a whim... If you like jerky, you'll love this place! I purchased the prime rib, carne asada, cherry smoked and a big prime rib slab. All of them were great, but the prime rib jerky is on another level My order just came in today and I look forward to ordering more in the future.

Beef Jerky Experience - My order that just arrived today 5/30/24 - Specialty Food Near Me - Kitty Hawk, North Carolina

See all

Great experience. The owner is very friendly and gives you a tour of his jerky flavors. They have a huge assortment of jerky, sausage, and pepperoni. Buffalo, Turkey, pig, and other exotic jerky. My favorites are the classic and Dill pickle flavors. They used to have an Asian jerky flavor. Loved it unfortunately they do not make it. The service is great. I think I have gotten their beef jerky backpacks and t-shirts. I think we have going when it opened in 2017. Free samples tell your friends about us. Just live the jerky. read more

I felt like the jerky was fine but really nothing special. The two things I got had really no flavor just a lot of spicy ness. There is a large variety of meats and flavors. I would like to try again and see if they're other flavors are any better. I got a bacon that was habanero and then I got a pork and alligator stick that was Cajun flavored. read more

Outrageous price for OK quality jerky. I hope they make a better price and small portions. read more

Have I died and gone to heaven? No? I'm just at the Beef Jerky Outlet? Well, just desiccate my corpse and leave me marinating in sauce anyway then. I want to become one with what I love. They have about a million different types of jerkies. And you can try most of them. I went straight for the mix and match sticks (5 for $10). Alligator? Ostrich? How could I say no? Of course, their house jerkies were also wonderful. The Korean flavor was probably the best. Sweet and tangy. But I also liked the more spicy ones like the Cajun crawfish spiced beef jerky. They also have a very respectable selection of hot sauces, ranging from hot to spend-some-time-on-the-toilet hot. Staff is super friendly! read more

What an amazing place. The staff was so kind and friendly. We are on a family trip and jotted down this place as one of our stops. I'm so glad we did. The quality of the jerky, nuts, and even the sweets, was outstanding. If you're making a trip to the out banks, please do yourself a favor and stop by. You'll love the place, just like my family and I did. read more

THIS PLACE IS HEAVEN We first walk in and the people are sooo nice. Explained the whole store to us and guided us where to start off. I love how you can sample things bc I think that is the toughest part about beef jerky. You buy a whole bag and you don't even like it! I posted pics of the flavors I liked. Also don't miss the chocolate covered coffee beans!! awesome. We also got 2 bags of popcorn. Kinda expensive, but I guess it's ok for an occasional trip read more

So many snacking options! In addition to all the beef jerky flavors they have other meats, including exotic ones like alligator and ostrich. They also have coated popcorns, nuts, and various chocolate covered candies. Plus a wide range of hot sauces with funny names. You can put together a gift box combo with the popcorn and stuff, or just buy just jerky combo packs if you can't decide. A great place for gifts or beach/road trip survival snacks. read more

Although a little pricey I really liked the way we were greeted and not left to just wonder around the store aimlessly. They offer a decent selection of jerky, Wild game, nuts, popcorn, sauces, and jelly's. Nice little store, glad I stopped. read more

Definitely over-priced, but what can you expect in a tourist town? Jerky was good. Popcorn was a little stale. Happy to see they had dog treats. I wish samples were available! However staff was friendly. A fun place to stop if you have some time to spare. read more

Waaaay exceeded my expectations of what I thought I was going to. My friend had been here on her vacation last year, and said we definitely have to stop here on this trip. I thought, yeah, ok. Well, this place is amazing!! Our sales team, Johmar and Eric greeted us immediately and encouraged us to sample as much as we liked. They were knowledgable about the products and were easy to talk to. I never expected to buy so much, including dog treats. So many flavors and types of jerky and meat sticks. And the array of items besides just jerky is extensive. This is a definite stop for your Outer Banks vacation. Lotsa goodies beyond jerky! read more

This place is legit! I have never seen so many varieties of beef jerky and I was amazed that we were able to sample them all. We picked up our favorite hot sauce and a bag of popcorn that we love. We received a free bag as well. Glad to learn that I can purchase online too. Amazing find!! read more

Appreciate the owner, Kevin, reaching out and fixing the issue that we had at the store yesterday. Steve was great - as always. My family thoroughly enjoyed his enthusiasm and knowledge about the jerky. Looking forward to the next time we're back in town. Thank you, Kevin & Steve!! read more

Stopped by today to cure my jerky fix. What a great selection and the staff was very friendly and helpful. They offer a 10% military discount!! read more

This is one of our favorite places to visit when we come down to OBX. There's currently no taste-testing the various flavors of jerky due to COVID... but they still have a phenomenal selection of products and really great customer service. I have also used their shipping before, to have my husband's favorites shipped to us for a Christmas gift. Shipping was quick and reliable and our order was perfect. I'll be placing an order again this Christmas -- and we'll be back to this little shop next time we're in town! read more

How to even begin this review. Who ever thought I would leave this place with 6 packages of beef jerky happier than ever. I don't care if you think you don't need to go. because YOU DO. A new MUST when visiting obx. Forget all the beach shops and t shirts. You need jerky!! read more

My family was in town a couple weeks ago and said to check this place out. Two trips there this week and over a hundred bucks later, I think it's safe to say this place is pretty awesome. Wasn't sure what to expect but it was great. Lots of awesome selection from different cuts of game, styles of preparations, and many flavors, and you can try pretty much anything they have in the store. Really enjoyed their stuff and a cool experience for something like jerky! Proud to say we'll be stopping through and ordering from here for a while now! Very friendly staff and extremely knowledgeable about what they have and how it's made. They got pretty much any meat product you can think of, including sticks and other snacks too! Loved it! read more

Great experience at this place. Friendly employees who are excited to talk about what they're selling. Convenient categorized sampling stations. There are other fun things besides jerky, honey sticks, tons of hot sauces, popcorn, peanuts, etc. Enjoyed it, will definitely be back during my next trip to the OBX. read more

Beef Jerky Experience - You can't see it all but there is a lot in this bag! We threw down. - Specialty Food Near Me - Kitty Hawk, North Carolina

They have free beef jerky tastings here and do not follow you around the store judging you for trying each one. We were greeting as soon as we walked in by an older gentleman. He was friendly and told us we could try as much jerky as we liked. Johmar helped us after trying a few and gave us some pretty good recommendations. He was really nice and we enjoyed speaking with him. He checked on us several times and made us feel welcome and made sure to answer any questions we had. I have never been to a Jerky Outlet before, but the jerky is so good! It was tender, fresh, and had great flavor. The ghost pepper (or maybe it was Carolina reaper) beef jerky was so delicious and spicy! We were surprised because we normally can never find anything spicy enough to our liking! This would make a great gift or snack to bring back home. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this store! The staff was immediately helpful by explaining how the store was organized. They graciously offer samples of the jerky to taste at your leisure. Thankfully when you make a purchase they provide information on how to order online once you get home. The store is very nice, clean, and well designed. read more

Unique store for the beach side shops -- but if you like jerky and bbq sauce and popcorns and candies and more in all sorts of nifty and unusual flavors, then this little store is your place to go. They even have tasting stations around the shop so you can try before you buy. Staff is friendly. Place is clean. Nice! read more

Owner greets you art the door and is very helpful. He shows you whats going on and how to find your favorites. Samples are everywhere....staff is fantastic and the place is pretty new. I will go again when I am there....Jerky is quality and worth it. read more

Just came in and got a 4oz bag of Cherry Maple Smoked Beef Jerky, fantastic customer service and delicious jerky. Thanks a bunch! Will be ordering online once I return to my state read more

This place is awesome ! So many different flavors and styles of jerky! You'll definitely find a flavor you love ! I love that they have samples of every flavor they have! That's so helpful in deciding what flavor to get instead of taking a chance on not liking a flavor. We had so much fun tasting all the different kinds! We purchased the lemon pepper, jalapeño, sweet bourbon, the Australian, and Bloody Mary! The staff was friendly, inviting and very helpful ! read more

A fun stop - my husband was in heaven. They have samples of almost everything they sell so you know what you are getting. Will be coming back here next year when we are on vacation! read more
