Horrible!! We ordered online because we love the jerky, it was inedible, called them to resolve, no one ever called us back. Too bad, they were great, someone dropped the ball. read more

I ordered a not spicy bucket. Delicious, but I had some today that was really gristly. Which surprised me. A little slow to ship, but maybe they were overwhelmed with orders. I'm going to try to talk my husband into sending some to our Airman grandson for his birthday next month. read more

It's not traditional dry jerky very greasy . Good flavor but not my style of jerky. Maybe the beef sticks would be better.

Happily, surprised, orders a pound of the ghost pepper jerky. it was thick, tasty and had a good amount of heat. I would recommend to jerky lovers and spice lovers alike Fargo ND read more

My favorite place for soft jerky! In 2008, a team lead bought this jerky as a reward for everyone on the team. Keep it in the fridge and eat within 2-3 days or it will spoil. They sell it in a paper bag and do not recommend a plastic bag or box such as Tupperware. I like the original flavor and the turkey jerky! This is not completely dry, so you may need a wet wipe or a place to wash your hands after eating. They have two restrooms. read more

The jerky is fantastic! I personally prefer a little less moist but when you store it in a brown paper bag in the fridge it dries just the right amount. Its amazing quality and priced really reasonably. I will be a lifetime customer. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!! read more

First off - the jerky was good - the whole family loved it. The one star review is because of customer service. We had a lot of people coming in for the Christmas Holiday and thought it would be great to order a bucket ($290) and share it with everyone. We ordered the variety Non-spicey No Jalapeno/No Cajun. We opened the bucket on Dec 21st (Sunday) when everyone was here and they had shipped the variety that had jalapeno and Cajun in it. I called on Dec 22 and spoke with someone on the phone (my bad for not getting her name) who was very nice and apologized for the mistake. I gave her our order number and she verified that we had ordered the non spicy. I asked her how I should ship back the 4 bags of spicy and she said we didn't need to ship it back since it was their mistake, give it to someone that likes spicy and she would get replacements for the 4 wrong packs out to us right away. It never came. So today I called and spoke with Michelle and she asked if I had sent back the wrong product and I told her whoever I had talked with told me I didn't need to do that. She said she would check with her manager but pretty much said they were not going to replace it. I told her that was a shame because we were going to order more and would stop recommending them to family and friends. For that kind of money customer service needs to match the product. Whoever I spoke with didn't even add a note on the order. Apparently, they sell enough product that customer service is not a priority to them. read more

I bought their Teriyaki Beef Jerky and it had NO FLAVOR. It was tough as lather with not even leather flavor.

I purchased a large order from Thompson's after seeing their fun videos on Tiktok. Although I did enjoy some jerky the first few days, and even considered ordering smaller packets for our wedding as gifts, I was so disappointed by the end of it. My jerky was packaged in their own bags with an air absorber, but no expiration date was printed and there was water in the bags. I'm not sure if they were packaged wrong or if the jerky wasn't property dried out, but there was mold within a few months and after a few weeks, everything tasted and smelled bad. I thought it was just me but everyone agreed that it tasted horrible. I had to throw out half my order. They really really need to fix this issue as there's multiple complaints of mold on their Google reviews and I wish I knew this before wasting money. read more

first and last time I bring an animal here to be processed. I brought a deer my wife shot hunting this year and I was really excited to fill the freezer and get some jerky! When filling out the form to tell them how I wanted the deer to be processed the teenager I was asking questions to stopped one of the butchers to get help. That butcher (I assume Butcher because he was dressed and dirty like he'd been cutting up meat) was very short, rude and not clear when answering my questions. I tried explaining that I wasn't understanding what he was telling me and I don't think he understood me either because this seemed to make the situation worse. I left feeling unsure and hoping my order was correct. When I picked up my wife's deer I got some of what I wanted and some other stuff I didn't order! I left thinking "okay whatever I'm not coming here again" The thing that pushed me over the edge which led me to writing this review was the jerky has deer hair all over it! I brought the deer skinned and washed off! why is there deer hair on it!? I had really high hopes and had heard really good things about Thompsons but after this experience I will not be coming back and will not recommend thompsons to anyone read more

i Just Bought the bucket of jerky. Should have read more reviews then just going by the description and only should have bought a small bag to try. Its too soft and chewy and damp when you first open the package. The dampness is concerning and dont like the texture. I Wanted to return the unopened packages but was told I can not. Disappointing. read more

The best jerky around. This is a definite must stop when I'm out this way. The jerky is a more soft variety that requires refrigeration. There is a discount for using cash. If you are a hunter you can bring your game here for processing. I bet this shops jerky recipe on wild game would be awesome. read more

We brought in a Bison to get processed. When we picked it up we were missing all the tenderloins and the stew meat. We also received 20 pounds of someone else's Venison sausage. When we were finally able to talk to the owner on the phone he said he had a Bison coming in and he would ship us the tenderloins and stew meat. The other employees we spoke with on the phone were quite rude. Unfortunately, whoever shipped the meat to us ( we live out of state), took it to the US Postal Service and shipped it regular mail instead of express, and did not have the package labeled Perishable and to keep frozen. It arrived 5 days later completely thawed and rotten. We had to throw it all out. We will never do business with this company ever again. read more

STAY AWAY FROM Thompson Smokehouse it's horrible!! I ordered a variety pack with 5 different flavors and I opened all but one to try them and they were all disgusting!! Sent an email with my disatsifaction in their products and the owner Robbie Thompson (He's a complete asshole by the way)told me to call him high I did and he offered to refund me for the unopened product and I said that's fine I was just going to throw it away anyway and he began to cuss me out and said he wouldn't refund any of it and hung up on me very unprofessional!! They claim not to use preservative but if you look at the package label it's loaded it crap! I completely understand why he won't give refunds cause his business would go under!! read more

The worst meat processing EVER. i Took in a bull elk weighed roughly 300 lbs that was shot in the head no bruising or bullet impact on the body. Got back less then a 100 lbs of meat that was covered in blood clot,cut up pieces of bone and elk hair. In the seven packages I opened none of the meat had been washed or was edible to eat. I took it back to Robbie Thompson and was told that I was 1 of 3 or 4 customers they get every year that are not satisfied and complain about processing. I was refunded the money for the processing was called an f****** Asshole in the middle of this disaster and had 5 of his so called meat cutters follow me outside to try to intimidate me. I would NOT recommend this place to my worst enemy. You won't get good quality meat back. In fact, you'll end up losing your entire animal. read more

Not too many and not too few options. I have liked everything I have had from here and so have everyone else I know. It seems their prices keep going up which makes it harder to justify going all the way to tooele. No demasiadas y no muy pocas opciones. Me ha gustado todo lo que he tenido de aquí y también a todos los demás que conozco. Parece que sus precios siguen subiendo, lo que hace que sea más difícil justificar ir a todo hasta tooele. read more

This has been a favorite spot in our family for 30+ years. Highly recommend if you're in the area. The packaged jerky I've found in stores is good too, but going to the smoke house directly is the BEST! read more

Came to this spot by the reviews, traveling from California to Colorado with a stop over in Salt Lake City. Their jerkey is thick and good, our favorite was the peppered, good price, great gal behind the counter. Would go there again read more

This is the best jerky you can find in Utah. Just stay away from the ones that have MSG and other harmful ingredients. They have an awesome selection and fresh tasting beef jerky and other animals. Highly recommend this place if you aren't the type that like Jack Link's beef jerky. :-) read more

I was referred here by a co-worker stating it is the best and only place he likes to buy jerky. The jerky is incredibly fresh, prices are great, and choices beyond just jerky are good. I am now a believer as well. The best way I can describe the jerky is like eating roast beef, since it shreds and pulls apart the same way, and is juicy. Bought a pound of peppered and half a pound of teriyaki, and I am thoroughly glad I was suggested to go. I will be back when in the area. read more

The best, I mean THE BEST jerky you'll find anywhere. I use to live nearby and would stop in to pick some up once in awhile. Now that I live out of state, I order 1 - 2 times a year online, to include for family as a gift treat. Did I mention this is the best jerk you'll find? read more

Holy Jerky. Ok so I'm driving cross country with my friend Nema S. and we get a hankering for some jerky. So, naturally, I look up jerky in Utah, and lo and behold, Thompson's pops up. It's about 5mi off of 80 East, so it's a minor detour. We walk in, and the place kinda looks like a gas station convenience store. Simple. Kinda grimy. Old. But, then I saw it, the glass deli case to the left, with slabs upon slabs of jerky. I'm not talking O'Berto's or Pemmican here, we're talking thick, juicy, and wonderfully prepared jerky goodness. Cajun, BBQ, Jalapeno, Regular, Teriyaki, Pepper, Turkey, Sausages, etc. Pure Awesomeness. I got half a pound of pepper and half a pound of jalapeno to go, which the guy was nice enough to air-seal for me since I told him I was going cross country and wouldnt be able to refrigerate it (this allows it to last 4-6 weeks at room temp). Then I also go a quarter pound of teriyaki to snack on in the car. Delicious. Not too hard, not too soft, nice and thick, great flavor. Oh, they will also skin a whole deer for $30 and an elk for $65.... in case you were wondering. PS. You can order their jerky from their website. read more

This has to be some of if not the best Jerky in Utah. This place makes it and smokes it here no outside anything. They make a bunch of varieties. The make an regular flavor, spicy,teriyaki, jalepeno, and a few others. They also make turkey jerky with is my favorite. read more

This is by far the best place to get BEEF JERKY. I know because I have looked all over the country. It is a little out of the way but well worth it. My wife and I love the pepperoni sticks. They also have the following flavors: Regular, Peppered, Jalapeno, Teriyaki, and Cajun. My favorite is Jalapeno and Peppered. Since it has not preservatives you have to keep it refrigerated and make sure you eat before it goes bad. read more

Good quality jerky that is on the wet side but the cuts were too thick for me. It was sort of like eating a well done steak.

Yes Yes I lived in Tooele from 2001-2004 moved there for work from CA ..and let me tell you let me tell you.....This is the very best beef jerky i have ever had..I remember we use to always stop by on our way out and in to town its just that good...I moved back to CA and we still order on-line from them..! that's how great it is..5 stars for Thompson's Smoke House You guys are #1 thanks for the good work!!! read more

Best jerky ever. We are going to try a smoked turkey for thanksgiving, Can't wait. We have bought elk from them in the past and it was a great price for great meat. read more

I have a very simple review review to offer for Thompson Smokehouse, this is good jerky!! I wanted to get some unique Christmas Gift Baskets for my customers and I wanted to support a local company with my purchase and a friend of mine suggested Thompson's ................ nailed it!!!!! The owners a great people who put together twenty special baskets just for me that included several different types of beef jerky, some turkey jerky, smoked sausage, and pepperoni mixed in with chocolates and they were spectacular!!! This is a great little local business that offers a superior product to all of the national brand, preservative laden jerky that you can buy at every store in the world. If you enjoy jerky you owe it to yourself to give Thompson's a try. Until next time my fellow Yelper's ........................... Be Local, Live Local, and whenever possible ....................... BUY Local!!!!!! read more

Mom & Pop shop that smokes up the best jalapeño beef jerky I have ever tasted. If you are within 50 miles stop what you are doing and drive here now! If you are more than 50 miles away stop what you are doing and call them right now because they ship! read more

If you didn't have hair on your chest before you ate Thompson's jerky, you will afterward. You also may have the urge to hunt, arm-wrestle, drive a 4x4, and engage in hand-to-paw combat with a bear. This stuff makes a boy into a man. read more

The jerky here quality is pretty good A little too thick for my taste but it is soft which I do like I wished it was Smoked because it's definitely not... the Cajuns probably the best jerky here wanted some Elk jerky but they didn't have any... got the jalapeno and the black pepper they're both okay... I'll stick with the Cajun. read more

The best jerky. I'm from out of state, but I have family in the area. Every time we're in town this is a must stop. Worth the drive to stock up from the SLC area. read more

Love this place! I grew up eating their jerky, and I make sure to stop in whenever I'm in town to get some more. The jerky is thick cut, they also have a large variety of meats and flavors. As a side note, they also do a good job processing deer. read more

Great beef jerky, they always have great, friendly people working their too. They will also smoke turkeys and other meats. I have had one of their smoked turkeys and it was so tasty. I love their jerky, I remember my grandpa taking me their when I was little, they had great jerky back then too. Their prices are reasonable too. read more

This is absolutely the "Best" beef jerky ever. Well worth the trip to Erda/Stansbury Park in the Tooele valley. I have travelled extensively and I have not found anything that even comes close to this place!!!! They also do a great job if you are looking to have a smoked turkey for Thanksgiving dinner! read more

The best jerky ive had n ive had jerky from different states n right now Thompsons is the best im from los angeles California n every time i go visit my friend in utah the first thing we do is go there plus i order some all the time read more

The quality of this jerky transcends description or review. There aren't even enough stars to rate how amazing this jerky is. You will never have jerky better than this. It's fresh, it's delicious, and it's delicious. If there was only one thing I could choose to eat, it would be this. read more

I have had jerky around the world and Thompson's Smoke House is the best you can find anywhere from Vietnam to Texas and I have been both places. I lived in Tooele for years and it was the only place I would ever buy my jerky. I now live in Texas and really miss being able to go into the Smoke House and get my jerky first hand. I miss you guys and really wish there was an easy way to get your jerky here. Bring some to me here in Texas and I would eat and eat and eat it all up read more

I just wanted to share an experience I had at a local business. My husband and I bought some gift certificates for Thompson's Smokehouse in Erda. We went in to use it and the owner and or manager refused to take it saying that he doesn't know how they got on there. He explained to me a lady had already tried using one and he refused to take hers as well. This is very poor customer service. First of all if someone already tried using one don't you think you should get it taken off as fast as possible. They must not have cared it was there if he waits until someone else tries to use one and offers the same excuse. We paid for these gift certificates and they should be honored and then he could nicely point out that he won't take them in the future. I was very disappointed in the business. I hope this helps anyone else who may have purchased these gift certificates. read more

Incredible jerky of all kinds of meat. Customer service sucks, but really great product. Go there a lot. Good yummy jerky and squeaky cheese. read more
