Bronco Billy's Beef Jerky Hickory Smoked Old Country One Pound Resealable Bag

Tasty and it's one of the most popular in my area. It's pricey but it's good. I have noticed differences between the batches. Some are good and some are great.

Jerkies prepared like this is a pretty rare find in a grocery store, unless you start to go out into the country. Dry and salty, these make excellent treats, but I recommend you eat them a few pieces at a time. I wasn't crazy about the flavor - it's very salty, like the old world would have prepared perishables for long storage with salt - kind of salty. It's also drier - yet tender - so if you're in for a specific mouthfeel from beef jerkies, this might not be an ideal choice. I did like it though, because it was both nostalgic, and gave me a chance to appreciate a sense of a long-standing tradition/practice. I perceived this as good value when compared with other beef jerkies, which to me seemed to have far too much waterweight to the price per ounce I was paying. This is a full bag of very dry jerky. It reconstituted to much more in my stomach :)

So I'll preface my review by stating that my ideal beef jerky is very dry and chewy. That's they way I like it and my preferred treat is something along the lines of Love's truck stop beef jerky. So that's the frame of mind I come from. This jerky is moist and chewy, very salty and has a heavy soy sauce taste to it. I enjoyed it, it's good to chew up and suck on for a bit because of how salty it is, but the soy sauce taste is pretty strong throughout so that's something to keep in mind. All the complaints about "fatty" chunks baffle me. I just finished a full pound of it and never came across any fatty pieces, maybe a small piece here or there but nothing significant and it wasn't unpleasant. The moisture level to me is too much. It's moister than Jack Links (which I think is crap beef jerky for what it's worth) but the flavor is at least a lot better than Jack Links. It better be for double the cost. I enjoyed it but for the cost I don't think I'd buy it again.

It seems like a lot of 'jerky' today is more like formed ground mystery meat, but this is real jerky. Dry, chewy, and with just enough pepper to make it interesting. My new go to.

This is that same horrible soft sweet ultra-processed Jack-Links style jerky that has as much sugar as it does protein (brown sugar AND CORN SYRUP). Absolute trash. There is nothing "Old Country" about this garbage. I'm hoping amazon will accept a return, but if not I'll throw it out to the feral cats because I wouldn't feed this to my dogs.

I have purchased several bags of this jerky and share it with a couple of co-workers. All bags have been very good. Good flavor, tough, dry, that you have to gnaw on for awhile. Love this kind of jerky. This batch had tons of fat and was very chewy. I threw a couple of handfuls away it was so bad. I hope this is just a one-off.

First time eating this brand, not going to lie, this is exactly what I was craving at 11pm last night when I was munching. Reviews were pretty accurate, it’s tender but still has great chew to it, that’s what I mainly look for. I personally really liked the flavor (old country), my friend said a lil too salty but I didn’t think so. Great portion, but I still cant justify the price. However, if reducing the price means changing the taste and ingredients…id leave it the way it is.

Very good
