Best beef jerky in the world. I tried every high end company I could find over the course of two years. This was the best. It literally tastes like dried brisket. The person who ran the register was very kind, she gave me a discount after I kept adding new bags and flavors to my order. read more

What a scam,total ripoff.Gives you reward points but when you go to use them they give you an invalid number and take away your points.Never saw an honest seller so hard to contact.Shop elsewhere this company is dishonest. read more

They charge you every month without signing up. I have spent the last 2 hours trying to cancel a subscription that the website says that I don't have. Yet they charged me for a subscription that I never signed up for. They don't answer the phone. This company is a scam and worse part is that the Jerry is not very good. read more

Love this place! My husband only likes beef jerky from this location. We always order the Classic Hot & Spicy Jerky but there are so many options. I appreciate that you can order online and pick up within a day. They do close early but they also ship. It's near DTLA! Must visit if you're a jerky lover! read more

Long-time customer of People's Choice Beef Jerky here. I recently moved out of state and finally placed an order after settling in. I had been raving to friends about how great your jerky was--until this order. Frankly, I was embarrassed. The jerky was so tough I could barely cut it with scissors. My husband, our friends, and I were all stunned at the drastic drop in quality. Lesson learned: I won't recommend a product again unless I'm certain it still meets the standard I once trusted. Video attached for reference. read more

People's Choice Beef Jerky - Incredibly tough to eat! Please watch video - Meat Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This place is great! Aside from the fact that the jerky is by far the best on the market, their customer service is unmatched. They always make you feel welcome coming into the store and always hook it up. Owner asked me about my plans for the weekend and when I mentioned I was running a marathon this weekend he handed me 3 free bags for the post run recovery. They got a customer for life, never buying jerky any place else. If you have a chance to stop by in person, I highly recommend! Plus it's a family owned business, can't ever go wrong supporting! read more

People's Choice Beef Jerky - The original old-fashioned beef jerky can't beat it - Meat Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Yeah I broke down and bought a couple 1# bags. Not fatty anymore but very tough. Good flavor but both bags were full of sinews and tendons. For the price I expect better. read more

Person at the front was super nice and helpful. They have samples here too at the front and you have a window to look through to see the workers make the jerky in the back (pretty cool). Their carne seca line is really good. Don't get it and leave a bad review because it's dry because that's what carne seca is lmao. I love it because since it's dry, your saliva "moisturizes it" and penetrates through the meat to bring out the great flavors inside, which is so good you wouldn't believe it. I love how chewy it is and I know it's not everyone's cup of tea so don't leave a bad review just because you don't like it, it's pretty damn good. First time customers also get rewards so that was nice to know! read more

Best beef jerky around. Personally I like the classic Hot and spicy. It's hard to find 'Dry' beef jerky nowadays, usually it's that shiny jerky that seems to look moist. I went in and ended up getting about 60 bucks in jerky. The girl working the store front was really cool and informative, really knew her Jerky. Overall I'd definitely recommend! read more

Went on a beef jerky tour with People's Choice Beef Jerky and it was so fun. Tried their jerky for the first time! I tried most of their flavors and they're all delicious. They have so many flavors to choose from, you'll find one that you love here. I love the old fashioned line, a thicker cut of jerky, which I love, I just wish the old fashioned line came in teriyaki. My favorite is the Classic Teriyaki Beef Jerky as I'm a sweet beef jerky kind of gal. I also recently tried their seasonal Maple Brown Sugar Beef Jerky and that's probably my second favorite. I got to see how they prep their beef jerky, how they season it, the whole cooking process and how it all gets packed. They use the freshest ingredients. I also love that their beef is sourced locally in California as well as Washington. When you bite into their beef jerky, you can taste the quality and the seasonings for each flavor so well. Keep in mind, the jerky here is on the drier side, if that is what you prefer then you will love this. They don't use sugar, honey or preservatives in most of their jerky so it's not as tender as other jerky brands. They also use knuckle and lifter cuts which are leaner cuts of beef. I would definitely come back. These would be a perfect gift for family and friends, they have monthly boxes you can subscribe to as well. They've been around for over 90 years. They are family-owned. It's a family business that has been passed down through four generations. Everything is done in the heart of downtown LA. I was told they opened their storefront recently in the last year. You can make purchases online with shipping or pick up from their storefront. At their storefront, there is metered street parking. Everyone here is so friendly. The inside looks so nice, very modern casual aesthetic, and goes well with all the beef jerky. There was no wait to buy beef jerky when I came on a Wednesday around 1 PM. I think the price is pretty reasonable considering the quantity and quality. read more

This jerky is so salty it burned my mouth. They claimed to be old fashioned but you couldn't survive two days in the outback with that stuff... Contacted customer service and got no reply. There is much better jerky available if you want the real thing. read more

Their Carne Seca is beyond delicious. Nothing else comes close! I've been getting it for years. We like to buy several pounds at a time and then store in vacuum packed mason jars. read more

After seeing an ad for this place on Facebook, I decided to drive down here on a Monday to check out the different flavors available to me. According to the Yelp pictures, I saw that they had samples of their products, so this was what inspired me to take a drive. Just a bit of warning, this place is in a sketchy part of Downtown LA. So be careful when you are driving here as to avoid any vagrants walking around. The entrance is secured and someone will need to buzz you in. Once I entered, I noticed how small the retail portion was. To be fair though, this is a factory and I should be thankful that there's a store front. Walked in and noticed that they only had 2 items available for sampling. I was a bit disappointed, but with the help of a customer and the store clerk, I was swayed in to a few flavors to try. I forgot her name, but the clerk was very helpful and fantastic. Because it was right after Black Friday, she extended their sale to me. So of course, I took advantage of it and bought a whole bunch of flavors. Almost got one of everything. Overall, I don't know if I would want to make the drive down here due to the area, but if their jerky is good, then I will definitely order more in the future. read more

Have been eating this jerky for years! Always satisfied everyone I share with is hooked, usually order online but I will be making an effort to go into the store very soon! Can't wait :) very clean and organized very friendly staff, lots of parking. Not the safest of neighborhoods but luckily only open during the day. read more

People's Choice Beef Jerky in Downtown LA is a hidden gem worth discovering. While the brand is popular and widely known online for its delicious beef jerky, the new store front provides a unique visiting experience. The store is new despite this family owned business being around for almost a century. One of the best things about the store is the ability to sample the different flavors of beef jerky. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they shared a lot of the history of the business with us. My personal favorite here was the teriyaki meat sticks. They are perfectly seasoned and have just the right amount of chewiness. In addition to the meat sticks, People's Choice Beef Jerky offers a wide variety of beef jerky flavors, including classic beef, hot and spicy, and peppered. You can find unique flavors such as dill pickle or textures like machata (canivore diet friendly). I thought the prices were reasonable and that the store itself is sleek and modern, with really lovely wooden interior. read more

Come along with me on a behind the scenes tour of a beef jerky factory in Los Angeles. This was honestly one of the coolest experiences and I felt like I was smack dab in a How Stuff Works video! Behind this hidden door is where all the magic happens. The meat is first sliced then placed in a marination machine which holds 1200 lbs in under 30 minutes! After being meticulously laid out on racks, they're ready to go in these GIANT ovens at 350 degrees. Packaging, shipping, and distribution all happens in house, and they've got it all down to a science. Oh my gosh, this stuff is DANGEROUS, you guys. Call me crazy, but I had to take home a bag in every single flavor they had, that's how good it was! They had these special test kitchen flavors like dill pickle, hatch chile, and garlic ginger. Thanks for reading! ^-^ read more

Best Beef jerky i ever had. Ordering my 2nd batch soon. I had a problem with shipping and they took care of everything right away read more

They send you coupon codes that ring up as "invalid", they don't give you the birthday rewards points like they say they do, they send you questionable looking jerky and tell you it's probably fine and that you are overreacting. These are just a few of the numerous issues of this company, and they will have to go above and beyond to get me to purchase again. WELL ABOVE AND BEYOND. Good luck. read more

Very mediocre jerky, ordered six different types and they range from spicy cardboard to plain shoe leather. Not impressed will not order again. Edit: downgraded my review to one star once I saw the moldy piece. read more

What can I say about this place besides what a great find. An ex told me about this company that has been around since 1929. He let me try a few flavors and I was instantly hooked so to find out that they have an actual store that I can frequent to get my fix is a major win! They also have online ordering but who wants to wait to get your orders when you can drive up and purchase it right away? Ring the doorbell and someone will come and assist you with your items. So what makes this beef jerky so great you ask? Well the quality. The cuts of beef aren't too thick and aren't too thin. The flavors are fantastic. Highly recommend the cowboy pepper sweet chili habanero Ginger garlic Carne seca with lemon Carne seca with hatch green Chile My favorite flavors hands down is the cowboy peppered and the sweet chili habanero. Cowboy pepper has a tad bit of sweetness and has a slight peppery taste. Where the sweet chili habanero is sweet with a kick to it. Staff is always very nice and helpful. Parking is only available on the street and is metered. read more

The best American beef jerky around town - beats any grocery store jerky! I've been ordering from People's Choice Beef Jerky for over 3+ years and have recommended it to all my friends and family. They recently upgraded their packaging for the flaming hot mini sticks (individual wrapped now, thank goodness!). I love how they are constantly working on new flavors, but I'm loyal to the hot/spicy jerky (both regular jerky and the sticks). They do allow free local pick-up; however, the area is a little sketch with street parking. Highly recommended, sometimes they offer email promotional discounts. read more

I'm really passionate about their beef jerky to the point where if someone mentions "Jerky" I immediately interject. I've been buying it for the last decade albeit online directly from them, Amazon, and even when it made it to my local Kohls. Why the -1??? I'm about 6 hours away and have always dreamed of dropping by to see where all the magic happens. The stars happened to align the Columbus Day and I happen to be in the vicinity. As the others mention, The store is in a pretty sketchy neighborhood but not to the point where I felt it was dangerous. We get buzzed in and I was immediately surprised how small it was. They have a few sample jars that were limited to beef sticks and the one maple brown sugar jerky. There was a window where you could see people putting the raw beef on racks and oddly they didn't look like they had gloves on. My vision of this being the Willy Wonka of Beef Jerky fizzled a little. What I was really disappointed in was the very limited variety of samples we could sample. I'm familiar with there products but wanted my family to be able to try before they buy. We wound up buying over $200 worth of stuff anyway but that's only because I'm familiar with their products. Lastly, it might even be cheaper to buy online because they have a subscribe option that gives you an extra bonus. Nothing really special about the store front... it's on my "been there, done that" list. read more

I tried their beef jerky shipped to my house but didn't know that they have store front too. It's great to stop by to do actual shopping and have a peek at their factory. Everything is handmade and this is a local family business! The beef jerky was amazing! They have different flavors. The thicker ones on the right of the shelf are my favorite. read more

First impressions: n/a we weren't allowed inside and could only order from the doorway. Food: love beef jerky for snacking purposes. Found out about this local spot and have been ordering from it online... however my sister told me it's cheaper to buy it from the store so we dropped by and got my favorites: Cowboy Pepper + Sweet Chili Habanero and a seasonal flavor: Maple Brown Sugar. Cowboy Pepper is my favorite because black pepper is the most underrated spice and this one has that and a variety of other spices without being too overpowering. Sweet Chili Habanero is my favorite spicy flavor when I want a touch of sweet to my jerky. I also usually like the Nashville hot links but they didn't have any. The Maple was a new one for me, I loved the sweetness for when I want a sugary taste but nothing chocolate Conclusion: hands down my favorite jerky brand read more

People's Choice Beef Jerky - Meat Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've never physically been to their location but I've been mail ordering from them for years. This place makes the best beef jerky anywhere. The taste, texture, quality, and flavor choices are the best anywhere and it never disappoints. Their "Old Fashioned" jerky is their original 1920 recipe and comes in plain or spicy. It's more thick and dry compared to newer types of jerky and I personally prefer that style. It's as natural and old school as it gets. Their "Classic Jerky" has more of the main stream jerky texture you find in the grocery store. It comes in original, teriyaki, spicy, and comes as either jerky or sticks. Their "Carne Seca" focuses on flavors of Mexico, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas. Flavors such as Hatch Chile, Limon con Chile, and Machaca. Their final category and the most exciting due to the constant rotation of flavors is the "Tasting Kitchen". Good thing is you'll find new and exciting flavors but the bad news is sometimes if that flavor isn't popular it'll disappear. As of today the flavors are Nashville Hot, Cowboy Peppered, Garlic Ginger, Maple Brown Sugar, Orange Honey Teriyaki, and Sweet Chili Habenero. I honestly have loved every single flavor but right now I'm totally hooked on their Nashville Hot. It's brutally spicy yet so damn good you just keep eating it while choking and crying. Trust me, if you like jerky than you must order from this company. They have a frequent buyer club (doesn't cost anything) that gives you points for every dollar you spend. It gives you credit for future purchases and accumulates pretty quick. Shipping is a flat $5 unless you spent a certain amount than it's free. read more

This place makes the best beef jerky! Store bought beef jerky can't even compare. You will have to try it to believe it. I was skeptical at first but I'm a believer now. Store bought doesn't even come close to the taste of People's Choice beef jerky. My favorite is Sweet Chili Habanero Beef Jerky Hot & Spicy beef Jerky I still haven't tried all of the flavors but if you try the two mentioned above, you'll thank me later. There's always parking in the street. It's metered parking only. The neighborhood can be a bit sketchy. read more

Held my order for a week with no communication before deciding to ship it. Usps STILL shows they just printed the label and they don't have it yet. Nicole from customer service doesn't seem to give 2 sh*ts about customer service or repeat business.

What a huge disappointment. read more

Peoples Sausage has been in DTLA since 1939 but I recently found them on Amazon when searching for keto beef jerky. It's hard to find beef jerky that doesn't have some type of sweetener (sugar, honey, maple syrup). I ended up ordering small amounts of the original beef jerky and the beef sticks through Amazon just to see if I liked it. The original beef jerky (4/5) is on the drier side but once you start chewing, the well seasoned beef taste comes out. It isn't soft as most other beef jerky because it doesn't have sugar, honey, or preservatives. I also liked the chewy, slightly oilier sea salt and pepper beef stick (4/5). Rather than order more online via Amazon or Peoples Sausage website, I decided to visit the shop. I was curious to check out the operation. Because the shop is only open weekdays from 6am to 2:30pm, I ended up going before work at 6am. Its on a clean street in the fashion district. The area seemed relatively safe, well lit, and had lots of metered parking out front. Upon entering the shop I noticed that it was very busy! Lots of workers processing and storing beef jerky. Upon first entering the shop we were greeted warmly and helped immediately by Kevin. I told him I was interested in keto beef jerky and he went over all the options in detail. He also mentioned that buying 5, one pound bags, would reduce the per bag price from $20 to $18. If you like jerky this is a great deal because Amazon sells 1 lb bags for about $28. He said that I can also call ahead to place a pick up order to save time. I ended up taking advantage of the deal and bought the original, spicy, and carne seca (chili and lime) flavors. All of the jerky come in smaller bags but the 1 lb bags have the best price per oz. I'm so happy that Peoples Sausage is in DTLA and thriving. It's a great place to get delicious beef jerky! I'll definitely be back! read more

These people will screw up your order and then tell you that you are rude. I had to cancel a big order because they refuse to have manager contact me to discuss it. Don't do business with them unless you want to waste a lot of time dealing with people who don't read simple emails about orders, and then tell you it's your fault, and then ignore you when you ask them to explain, and then ignore you again when you request a manager. There crisps are dry and tasteless anyway, the jerky is better but expensive to deal with the issues. There are better companies for this. read more

Inspired; thought I'd leave a mark; but, according to what I see everyone else saying, I'm just one of many espousing the same: this is great jerky. I'd loose no sleep recommending this to, absolutely, anyone. read more

I cant get enough of this stuff. The Hot & Spicy slab jerky is crack in dehydrated meat form. Its the old school foot long sheets of dried beef with red chili peppers on it from your youth. Its dry but when you finally gnaw a piece off the slab, you chew and chew and your saliva creates that beefy goodness that pushes all the right buttons. I only get the Hot & Spicy slabs. The Teriyaki and Original dont have enough flavor imo and I didnt like the other kinds that were smaller, wetter pieces. I have shelled out well over a thousand dollars over the years on the Hot & Spicy 15 count Big Slab Bags. I give them out as gifts to my friends at Christmas. Think I ended up buying 8 bags for gifts this Christmas as well as last year. Its available on Amazon as well (tho for some reason it ships from Austin, TX) so you can send it to friends/family anywhere in the states. A bit of advice/warning: Do not eat more than 1-2 slabs a day or you will regret it. If you think it burns going in, its way worse if you over do it and eat too many slabs at once. I warned a buddy in Hawaii but he couldnt resist and ate the whole bag in one day. Spent the next two days in the can cursing the Beef Jerky gods. read more
