sticks

Classic road-trip snack done right — flavorful, satisfying, and mess-free Jack Link’s Original Beef Sticks are one of those snacks that never seem to go out of style. I’ve bought these many times over the years for travel, work, and long hospital shifts, and they’ve stayed consistently good. Each stick is individually wrapped—perfect for tossing into a lunch bag, glove compartment, or hiking pack without worrying about spoilage or refrigeration. The flavor hits that ideal middle ground: smoky, slightly salty, and savory without being overpowering. The texture is softer than jerky but still has enough bite to feel hearty. You can taste that it’s real beef, not filler. I especially like that these sticks are keto-friendly and provide 6 grams of protein per serving—just enough to curb hunger and keep energy steady between meals. They’re also shelf-stable for months, which makes them excellent emergency snacks or additions to a travel kit. The packaging is secure and rarely leaks oil, though like most cured meats, they can feel a little greasy if left in a hot car. Some might find them saltier than expected, but that’s part of the classic jerky stick profile. Compared to Slim Jim or gas-station brands, Jack Link’s is noticeably higher quality—less artificial flavor, no weird aftertaste, and a cleaner chew. They’re a dependable, no-nonsense snack that delivers consistent taste and freshness every time. Bottom line: A tried-and-true protein snack that’s perfect for busy days, hiking trips, or tossing in your desk drawer. Tasty, portable, and satisfying—the kind of classic that earns its place in the pantry.

These things were so good! I was in a serious car accident last year and was pretty much immobile for several months. I needed some good quality, satiating snacks to keep by my bed so that if I got hungry when there was no one available to make me a meal, I had something. I like them so much I would keep them on hand for just regular snacking now that I'm completely healed.

These sticks are my new standard for judging similar products. They are more sausage-like than those available at the local market. I’m used to buying Jack Links jerky, but this a new level of satisfaction. They are soft and tasty and I will be ordering more from Amazon.

Pretty good taste, pretty good deal. A little greasy left on the fingers after of course

Great protein snack for on-the-go or to keep in a sports bag/purse. Honestly, I throw these in my purse for when I randomly get hungry and my son throws them in his sports bag and school bag. These Jack Link's Beef Sticks are my go-to and ordering them in bulk is much more cost efficient than purchasing them as we go at convenience stores. We haven't had any issues with expiration dates, freshness or taste.

I’ve never eaten a beef stick that I could finish. Salty. Tough. Not these. They’re really good. I really don’t eat a lot of convenience food. I was looking for a savory snack to put in my Christmas gift baskets for my clients. I needed something that cost $1 or less per piece and hopefully tasted good. At under $15 for 20 this was an excellent deal. This is a popular brand so I bought three boxes. So delicious I bought a fourth box. These will be very popular with my clients along with some individual cookie and chips packs. I hope I can get these for next years gift baskets.

I bought this for my son's hockey team and they devoured the jerky after their game. Highly recommend! The jerkey tasted fresh and it's low calories as well. I wanted something healthier for the kids and the ingredients were on point. Plus, it's high in protein as well.

Plenty in package, had good ingredient list and good single size packages but the spice was a tad too spicy for me. Dog loves the though~
