I really liked their bbq jerky. I like a thicker jerky then the flat thin jerky. This jerky comes in thick pieces. This has turned out to be one of my top 3 favorite jerkys. The packaging is over the top. It comes vacuum sealed so the can do away with the insulation and cold packs and reduce the cost of shipping. All of that packaging has no affect on something that is vacuum sealed. The Hawaiian turkey jerky is awesome!Timothyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07274361833785972518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9134710340137592050.post-18939443695988471982009-06-28T14:46:27.031-07:002009-06-28T14:46:27.031-07:00I bought a few bags of Rives, and while the packaging was great, the shipping price was ridiculous. I would never have agreed to pay this much for shipping were it not for the stellar review.<br /><br />Since I wasn&#39;t going to eat the jerky right away, I kept it in the refrigerator until I was ready to eat. I found that once the jerky had returned to room temperature that quite a bit of the outside flavoring stuck to the bag. The jerky was kind of &quot;wet&quot; and this was a turnoff.<br /><br />As for the taste, I think it&#39;s good, but not great. I&#39;m not as enthusiastic about this jerky as Steve is, and I won&#39;t be ordering it again. However, I would encourage others to try it, as it may just be personal taste. I just don&#39;t think it compares to others like Couple O&#39; Jerks, Datil Daddy&#39;s, Ed&#39;s Roadhouse, Jerky Guy.Chrisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9134710340137592050.post-19857396549102234842009-03-31T07:24:00.000-07:002009-03-31T07:24:00.000-07:00I have ordered jerky and stix from Rives Meat Store and I am extremley pleased with the quality. All shipping charges include icepacks &amp; insulated packaging. Give them a call, they work with you on a personal level and are willing to requote shipping based on the &quot;best rate&quot; possible. The taste is worth the effort.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9134710340137592050.post-71297137107948042632009-03-20T00:37:00.000-07:002009-03-20T00:37:00.000-07:00I wanted to place an order of 1lb of jerkey and some beef stix.
