A major beef jerky review by the staff of the Woodward Blade, top 10 beef jerky scored from 1 to 10

Where’s the beef, jerky!

Garrett Oberkfell, Andy Sun, and Aly Shakoor

After administration banned students from going to the snack bar during class, The Blade staff were craving some snacks. Beef jerky would solve our hunger problems, but which beef jerky is the best? There are hundreds of new companies on the market, and we wanted to find the best beef jerky out there. We emailed several companies and Strollo’s, Deli Bros, Snatch, Uncle Andy’s, Hickory Hollow, Lawless, Divine Bovine, The New Primal, Hole in One, Savage, and Jack Link’s all sent their own unique jerky. The graders considered all aspects on the jerky including taste, texture and uniqueness, but gave one overall score. The scorers each gave their own score, 1-10, for each company, but the score shown is the average.

  1. Strollo’s Homemade Beef Jerky – 7.25
  2. Deli Bros Jerky – 7.5
  3. SNATCH Beef Jerky – 7.25
  4. Uncle Andy’s – 8.0
  5. Hickory Hollow Beef Jerky – 7.0
  6. Lawless Jerky – 8.5
  7. Divine Bovine Jerky – 9.5 THE WINNER!
  8. The New Primal – 6.0
  9. Hole-in-one Jerky – 8.5
  10. Savage Jerky Company – 8.5
