Jim Thorpe House of Jerky

What a fantastic place! This establishment had the largest, most impressive selection of jerky I have ever seen in my life. The woman taking care of the store was extremely helpful. I'm super happy that I finally got to find some edible bugs and give them a try ! The scorpion was my favorite, it tasted meaty & salty. The super worms like cashews. The crickets like peanut shells and the ants mabye like sawdust. Everything I chose was unflavored. If you want to try flavored edible bugs they have a whole bunch of those as well. Also there was a couple of jerky samples I took on the way out the door that I look forward to trying. One of them is supposed to be real spicy. I can't wait.

Lots of choices. Only two were available to sample but they were individually packaged in little ziplock bags for safe handling. I bought Beef sticks called Drowars and they were great. I’d pick up some other items next time I’m around.

Such an amazing place to get jerky! We picked up a few different varieties and they were MOSTLY good!
Highly recommend any traditional meats here (pork or beef). We also tried the shark and alligator. Those were... interesting.
The staff here is very nice and extremely helpful in guiding us through the different type of jerky.

The owner is great to talk to. He made great suggestions about what we'd like. The jerky is absolutely delicious!!

Great jerky selection! They even have vegan options if you want/ need. I loved the variety- they've got all kinds of exotic Meats, as well as the regular options. I got a Chipotle beef jerky, and a black pepper jerky. Very pleased. Good quality products. Will definitely come back

I always visit the House of Jerky when I'm in the USA / PA area . Jim Thorpe is my favourite American town, and the fact that there is a shop which sells BILTONG !! Well what an added bonus . *** Note *** Slight correction to the packaging on the DROEWORS -- THAT is how it's spelt - pronounced DROOER VORSE it means DRY SAUSAGE . Your packaging describes it as DROWERS .Not a complaint, the contents were as good as any I have bought anywhere and your Biltong is A1 ( that is real praise from a 100% South African Biltong lover ) . Keep it up - I will be back !

We stop here every year when we come up for our NYE vacation to ride the train. We recently discovered "Connie's Crack" which is, as the name suggested, addicting!!! The variety of flavors and meats is top tier, and the owners are the nicest.

If you are looking for a place to try all kinds of jerky this is the place. The only thing to worry about here is how much money you'll spend. Definitely worth stopping by if you are close to the area.

This place is really nice. Great selection of so many different jerky’s. The owner was a very nice guy. He was very knowledgeable about all the types of jerky and also offered great little samples. I’ve been to a few jerky places in a few different states and this was by far the nicest one so far. The jerky I tried, I bought. Really nice bourbon beef. Got a package of the Carolina Reaper Jerky for friends in New York. If you are in Jim Thorpe, make this a stop. You won’t be disappointed. I’ll be back for sure.

If you like jerky then you don’t need my review to tell you to stop by; just do it. Exotic selections await you, from Buffalo to kangaroo and everything in between. Of course your typical beef and turkey options as well.

Support local!!

What a variety of jerkey and meat sticks ... From snake to rabbit.. Beef, bison, wild boar, chicken... And on and on. Different types of dried flavors like sweet and sour, hot, ghost pepper, teriyaki. We went with a turkey stick in sweet and spicy flavor. They do have some free samples to try a few different flavors.

Our First time in Pennsylvania and we drove to Jim Thorpe to visit the shops and sightsee. This shop was clean, well organized and offered lots of options from Turkey, beef, deer, shark, kangaroo to vegan jerky! They also had boiled peanuts in several flavors, and a handmade puffed popcorn concoction with white chocolate for $5 a bag YUMMY must try!!!

Their turkey jerky was amazing
