The Beef Jerky Experience on The Island

Awesome store! Amazing choices and very helpful staff! Went out of their way to explain the difference between them all for us since we can’t chew tough. Even got to sample some options before purchasing they were so kind. They even gave my daughter and son a bracelet. Will be back! Thanks!!

Great place. Helpful staff. Samples sell!!!

Great store! Friendly people, samples available..peanut butter shoppe also inside

I was thrilled coming here! If there is a jerky you are looking for, trust and do believe that it’s probably going to be in here and the lady that was here, whom I’m assuming was the manager, when we went definitely knows her stuff about the different jerky that’s available.

We talked about camel jerky, bear, gator, buffalo, and the guy that was there talking with us even was amazed at the description of the different flavors and textures. Apparently it was his first trip in there as well.

Also, ammo can to hold your jerky is a nice touch 😁😁😁😁

I haven’t had Shark Jerky in almost 6 years and when I saw it on the shelf, I immediately grabbed it out of excitement. Last time I had it, I was in South Carolina for a business trip. First time I’d had it was in Cuba by the way! Really good jerky and very lean.

Ready to go back first chance I get since it’s close to home which is in NC.

Who knows, may walk away with an ammo box aka super snack pack! I even called the guys at the U.S. Army Recruiting station in Knoxville and told them I was jealous 😂 since I work in West Tennessee for recruiting.

NOTE: the PETA thing is a joke and is designed to help people smile when enjoying their food. It’s not meant to be offensive to anyone.

That said, it’s your choice to eat strictly meat or vegetables or whatever you enjoy.

The folks that run this shop are awesome folks and friendly to everyone in the community and they help out with a lot of good charitable causes too.

We love this place. It was our first time and we definitely will be back. Both of the ladies working there were extremely and helpful. Also patient. My husband is a talker and he was talking the other associates ear off. Definitely will be back when we get back that way.

As far as the prices, I think it’s fair. Yes it might be more than Walmart or somewhere like that but it’s also better.

my husband and I went in on New Year’s day at 10 ..10:15 or so…first time visiting this place ever …Was so excited when we saw this Store we walked in immediately. The sign says free samples there was a lot to choose from to purchase, but turns out no free samples only Two small bowls of peanuts… scraps really… Then, as we’re looking through the jerky, the prices are extremely outrageous.. and then to top it all off the male and female Employee at the counter never greeted us ,didn’t look at us , and not one time never asked if we needed help just sat there flirting and talking about their future engagements so I looked at my husband and I said let’s go we left immediately

I am beyond disappointed. I absolutely love this place, I look forward to coming here everytime I get the chance to take a trip to pigeon forge. I bought two bags of the maple bacon jerky, first bag was great, second bag not so much. I am eating it then suddenly bite down on something hard causing a sharp pain in my tooth and stabbing feeling in my cheek. I spit out to see what it was just to find a piece of hard sharp metal. All I can say is thank God I didn’t swallow it. This is a hazard and could have went way worse. Beyond disappointing.

This place is awesome. The two working we're friendly and offered to help with anything. We love there maple brown sugar bacon flavor and their teriyaki flavor. We will definitely be shopping here at every PF TN visit. And the price is lower here as well.

Came into this store on Thursday not having been in one before. It was a lot to look at but one of the workers named Hannah gave me the run down and hooked me up with some really good butter scotch peanut butter. The other worker didn’t really look at me or say anything to help even though I walked by him first, which was weird but. So this five star is for Hannah and her excellent service, and the good peanut butter.

Friendly staff, great jerky.

I purchased a walking stick at the store and it broke. When I notified the store; they immediately replied and took care of it. No hesitation and very friendly communication. The owner Bruce was extremely helpful.

Service: 5

I really like this place on the island. I really love eating beef jerky and it had so many options. I got the crawfish jerky the one I have never seen before it was super good.

Love love love this place the lady was super nice . We enjoyed looking at all the different flavors and variety. We will most definitely be back next year on our vacation. Already making an order to place online. 😀

Went here in 2007 and still to this day tell people about this jerky store. They have such a variety you'll never see elsewhere. I know there is a lot to see and do in the area don't miss this.

Great selection of jerky! We were greeted by the nicest woman who offered samples. She helped us select what we wanted. Great tasting product!
