I don't understand the negative reviews. The gentleman that was in the shop with his dog was super nice. I asked to pet his dog and he happily let me do so and told us the dog's name.I bought dog jerky and the habanero tri-tip jerky. I can only speak for the tri-tip as I didn't consume the dog jerky lol but it was delicious. So moist and flavorful!I'm only in town for a week and am planning to go back again before I leave for more!

After reading negative reviews - i felt compelled to leave a review . My wife and i were in town for a relatives funeral , and needed a distraction, so we went to Manitou Springs for a couple hours of wandering and shopping. We love jerky so it was an easy choice to visit the store. We were greeted by german shepard laying on the floor in the middle of the shop - PERFECT ! we love dogs ! Especially service animals. We were then greeted by a gentleman that was a wealth of knowledge about Manitou Springs , the wild west , he played his guitar , he shared stories from his employment history , touched on the service animal and why he had it , he then did a Buffalo Bill reenactment with a 45 revolver. I asked about Schmiskys Leather shop in M.S. that i visited as a child ,35-40 yrs ago and without hesitation shared his knowledge about the old leather shop. Great hop down memory lane !!!We picked out a variety of jerky for ourselves and gifts . The shop was clean and organized, the selection was over the top .

Save your time and money! Worst customer service we've ever encountered. It was like we inconvenienced and ruined the mans life by entering the store. He was belligerent, and screamed profanities at us. Clearly a miserable human who does the cute town of manitou a disservice in representation. Its a wonder how he stays in buisness or how the surrounding shops tolerate him. Nicest thing I can say is, Bless his heart and I truly hope he finds peace. I'd give zero stars if possible! After reading other reviews, I think we dodged the bullet and were saved from rancid meat as well. However, all the surrounding stores were amazing with amazing staff!! Can't recommend them enough!! Support those locals! We did!

Decided to pop in on Christmas Eve and the guy behind the counter was quite possibly the rudest human I have ever experienced working in a retail situation. It was like we interrupted him from his daily routine of playing his guitar, being on his phone and reading. He was nicer to his dog than us. We spent $65 on exotic jerky and got a free JERK to boot! Yelled at us he was deaf when we asked questions but when we were considering the Python under our breath he yelled out that it tasted terrible. I mean I wasn't expecting a back rub or even a smile but for God's sake don't take your life's frustrations out on your customers. This dude was probably in his late sixties to early seventies so we can't blame this horrible customer service on the millennials! This is a novelty- impulse-buy-sort-of-situation so I'm not even gonna comment on how mediocre the dried meats were. I was hoping the flavor might excuse the retail jockeys bad attitude but alas, it did not. Don't not give it a whirl. I just needed to vent.

Disappointing and Disturbing Experience with Beef Jerky Here!Rating: ★☆☆☆☆After spending time pouring through a plethora of positive reviews, I regret the unfortunate events that unfolded after me purchasing this package of beef jerky. My original intentions were to have a light, protein-filled snack that I could easily take with me on my daily ventures. However, what I did not anticipate was an insufferably horrendous journey through illness and discomfort as a direct aftermath of consuming it.The beef jerky, on first inspection, appeared decent enough. However, upon taking the first bite, an odd and unexpected flavor greeted me. Peculiar, considering the way it was advertised with vibrant promises of "flavorful snacking experience", which it utterly failed to deliver. There was an off-putting overtone overshadowing the intended smoky taste I was expecting, which was the initial warning sign.In just a few miserable hours post-consumption, waves of nausea hit me. My body began waging war against itself, bringing about relentless bouts of sickness that left me weak and utterly drained. I spent a nightmarish day wracked with severe discomfort, not being able to keep anything down.This brand of beef jerky is physically problematic and gastronomically distressing. The fact that it wreaked havoc on my digestive system in such a manner raises red flags about the quality checks and the standards of hygiene followed by the company, casting shadows on their credibility. Food items like this should be sources of nourishment and satisfaction, not catalysts of contagious diseases.I strongly caution potential consumers against trying this product until a thorough review of the production and packing process is done. The severities of my adverse reaction cannot be taken lightly, and I feel it would be irresponsible for me to not warn others. So, unless you're prepared for a toll on your health, please steer clear of this brand of beef jerky.I would have hoped to share a glowing review of a food product that could be enjoyed anywhere, at any time. However, my harrowing experience places me in a position to do the exact opposite. Therefore, I rate this dreadful beef jerky a lamentable one star.

Owner is an entitled prick. Came in to buy some jerky for my dog and he immediately jumped down my throat when I tried to say hello to his service dog. I did NOT try to pet his service, simply held out my hand to let him sniff, which is totally normal. Owner immediately began to yell at me and threw me out of his store. Completely Soward my entire experience on Manitou Springs. Do not recommend, owner is a grumpy old man and a and total a-hole.

Stop here with your pup while exploring Manitou, very friendly and great jerky choices!
Cute service dog, horrible service. Fella was incredibly rude. Decent selection but weird that it’s all imported to look like it’s local. Not at all a local business

Not a very nice experience at this place, didnt get greeted as our group walked in. When my buddy asked if they have deals, he was ignored on the first attempt and given attitude with the second. Owner has no people skills.. then when purchasing our jerky, the attendant was even ruder and made a complicated transaction. While waiting for others, he was told, "Don't let the door hit you in the asscrack on the way out. Completely uncalled for, and then the guy proceeded to call the police because he wanted us to leave without the rest of the group. Very strange experience ?
