Gold Rush Hickory Meat Sticks (Smokies) 2.5 Lb.

These were fresh and delicious!

It's the closest smokies I can get to the ones that I got as a kid at the local west side market. No they are not in thevsame class, but getting a product made that week verse something I can order from online after trying 15 other brands says something. This brand I HIGHLY recommend trying. I recommend you pick the flavor you like the most. I've tried most of their flavors and they all have impressed me.Don't get me wrong if I could go to the market like the old days and buy those, I would. But I can't. But these are the best I can find and I'm not just settling for this product. Like I said I've tried many many brands on Amazon. And this company by far is the best I've come across! If someone has a slightly better brand for me to try, if there is a way to send me a private message I would give them a try. But they would have to be a Extremely great product to overtake these imo.

Tender and delicious

I hated the product. I took one bite and throw the 2.5 pound package in the garbage. The smell made me want to throw up. Do not waste your money on this product!

GREAT DEAL! For around 80 cents a stick ya get decent meat sticks. Go to your local store and see what they charge ya for a inferior product. Loving em in SoCali!

I liked them very much!

Oh ya!!! my wife loves these, and I won't try them but it keeps her happy and that makes my happy too.

This is of course a matter of personal taste, but for my taste these weren't so great. I won't go so far as to say they were rotten or anything, I don't think they were rotten, I'm just not a fan of the texture and recipe. Basically, to my taste there is so little spice and salt that final product doesn't really taste like anything substantial. It just has this vague background flavor throughout. Add in the fact that the texture is so soft and mealy, it is just unpleasant to eat. I'm going to finish the bag because I'm stubborn, but I'll be dipping it in a big bowl of sriracha.I'm not going to blast the product with a completely negative review because it arrived on time, heck it even arrived early. I'm also pretty sure that this is the way it was intended to taste. In short, there isn't anything wrong with it. I just don't like it for the reasons stated above.
