I have been coming here for 20+ years, often driving over an hour out of my way for this jerky. Today I was in for a rude awakening as they have completely done away with their traditional AMAZING beef jerky strips and instead it's basically a poor quality jack links now.The new owners have ruined a Texas treasure.

I’ve been getting beef jerky from Whittingtons since 1982. It’s a shame what happened to the place since the new owners bought it they should’ve just left it the way how it was. That’s the problem now a days nobody want it the way it was… sometimes it’s better not to fix it or change it…

We’ve been coming here for 10+ years…and would drive two hours to come get the best jerky on the planet.The last time I stopped it seemed like something was changing… Stopped in today, and everything is completely changed, including the recipe on their jerky and how they sell it.Unfortunately, I will not be able to recommend this place any longer, nor will I be a customer.Thank you for all the great years of wonderful jerky, but the change is not good for your business.

Horrible jerky. It's obvious there is a new owner. I don't travel this part of the hill country like I did 5 or 6 years ago, but prior to that I made biannual stops here. All the jerky has this weird glaze that is nothing like the Whittingtons use to make. Meat cuts are different.Shelves are bare. Pre packed goods. But if you're in the market for cornuts. They got them

What a disappointment - we have been going here for over 20 years, look forward to the samples, the hardened jerky to take home to our son's - but now, there is a new owner, they have less than have the options of jerky, but they don't have the local sauces, and jellies and jams anymore - and half the store is closed off - I get wanting to add your own touches when you buy something but they blew it by making too many changes - I will give it one more try later but if the jerky doesn't have samples and varieties, my review will go to 1 star.

The new recipe and owner make for the worst experience possible for anyone that knew how good the old jerky was.I drove an hour from San Antonio just for jerky I knew from my childhood and was extremely disappointed. It’s now on par with wet gas station jerky, no better than you can find at any Walmart or even worse.Theres little to no smoke flavor. It’s just wet mushy and sweet.

My family has stopped by the store for about 15 years every time we drive up to marble falls. On Labor Day weekend, we stopped to buy some jerky and we learned they changed the way they make it. The store clerk said the owner changed the way he makes the jerky. We reluctantly tried some but were really disappointed. The jerky wasn't very good and we don't like paper thin jerky, we like the big chunks/strips they use to make. We asked the clerk to let owner know we don't like the change. We'll see what they offer next time we drive by. Sure hope it won't be our last stop there and they bring back their traditional jerky.

Some of the best, authentic jerky around. We drove 50 miles just to stop by. Definitely worth it.

I’ve stopped here four times in the last two months on various road trips over the holidays. Every time the restroom is out of order. When I asked about it last time they said something was really broken and needed to be fixed. This is an establishment off of a main highway—I don’t know how the new owners think it’s ok to not have a restroom for customers. Please fix ASAP.

Great jerky. Unfortunately, not the best customer service. They ship FedEx and if FedEx says it was delivered, there is no claim to file or anything.Spent three weeks waiting to be called back to be told that it was delivered and there was nothing that could be done. I will not ship with Whittington's again. Do not trust your family gifts to them! I have never heard of a customer service policy like this. I paid them. The recipient didn't receive the gift. Whittington's official response is "tough luck". Any other company would refund the customer and file a claim with FedEx!

We stood by once or twice a year on our drive to the coast and always enjoy!

This little general store not only sells jerky, but lots of canned (bottled) local made salsas and dips. We were able to try the different flavors of jerky. The port jerky tasted like a piece of bacon. Hubby settled on the original jerky, which has good flavor, but it seems a little gristly to me. The peach salsa is incredible. Sweet staff.

Nick was soooooo nice! We drove all the way to get some jerky and he made sure we got it! By far the best jerky ever! Customer service was amazing, jerky was delicious and the drive was worth it!
