Wild Bill’s Hickory Smoked Beef Jerky Pieces 16 Ounce Pack

The BEST beef jerky. Very salty but that’s what makes it so tasty.

Jerky here, jerky there, my husband takes this everywhere. Safe to say this is a fan favorite of his!

I started buying Wild Bill's jerky about 20 years ago when they were just a little operation out of the Lancaster PA area. At that time, it had been almost 20 years since I'd had honest-to-goodness beef jerky made from premium cuts of beef. No frills, dry, salty & chewy with a delicious hint of soy and worcestershire sauce - there isn't a better type of beef jerky on the market in my opinion.Then they sold themselves off about 10 years ago or so, and it's been downhill ever since. The last bag I bought before this one was about 3 or 4 years ago. I didn't love it nearly as much, but it didn't repulse me. It's taken me this long to pull the trigger again and see if they had fixed themselves in the meantime.Spoiler alert: I threw this bag out.The beef was disgusting tasting. You can tell the beef had started to go rancid right before they got to marinating and dehydrating it. I've had beef jerky that's gone bad before, and you can tell when it's good jerky that's gone bad due to age. This bag was definitely fresh jerky, not gone bad (best by date Jan 23, 2026 - today is May 7, 2025), made with rancid beef.$42 wasted because it's a perishable food item and Amazon won't allow returns on that. Do yourself a favor and don't bother giving the new company (Monogram Meat Snack out of Memphis, TN) any of your hard earned $$. They don't care about you, and it's obvious in what they've done to dilute the original product into the horrible one it's become.Good-bye Wild Bill's. I won't miss what you have become, but I already deeply regret the passing of the beef jerky you once were...

Wild Bill's is by far my favorite jerky. Worth the price.

Wild bills hickory smoked beef jerky is pretty good mass made jerky. It is not like Slim Jims or Jacks Link. You can actually tell this is made from steak. And yes I am sure Jim Bobs country store makes some mean fresh made jerky at you local store, but this is made for the masses and is great.This is not a soft easy to chew jerky, it takes work and reel teeth to chew your way through it. And I like that. I have had other brands that tend to be a little too tender (think Jacklinks Nuggets) and I do not like that those at all.As mentioned, yes Wild Bills jerky is salty, but I personally don't find it to be over powering to the point you can't taste the flavor. I feel like people posting those reviews are sensitive to salt. I'd suggest buying some from a local store before buying a big bag online if you can find it.Anyways, you get 30 good sized strips in the one I bought, I ate four as soon as it came in and it was as good as always. These make for a great snack for work, home, or when out hiking.Attached some photos, and placed one next to my kindle paper white for size comparison. I don't work for Amazon and I did pay out of pocket for this product.ProsGreat tasteGood meat usedLast longConsA little pricey

Good. Not quite the same taste I remeber but still the best beef jerky around. IYKYK

I love this Jerky, I have bought it 5 times and it has never disappointed me. My only problem is that I can't stop eating it once I have one bite. So I have to take it out of my sight, otherwise it won't make it the next day.

I’m honestly shocked by how badly I reacted to this. Jerky is usually one of my safest go-to foods when it comes to histamine intolerance and mast cell issues — but this one absolutely wrecked me. Within 30 minutes, I was dealing with gut ache, flushing, and a wave of inflammation that had me reaching for antihistamines and wondering what went wrong.Either there’s a preservative, seasoning, or some quality control issue here, because this is not a normal jerky reaction — and I eat jerky a lot. If you’re histamine-sensitive or have immune issues, I’d be extremely cautious with this brand. Definitely not worth the risk.
