Plano Jerky

This place has been around as long as I can remember. As a kid my grandma used to bring me here when I visited in the mid 70's. You can imagine my excitement when in 2024 the same building I remember as a kid is still there. The smells, the flavor OMG I was so happy. I had not been to Porterville in over 40 years. And the one day I get back, Plano Jerky brought back all my fond memories of grandma and childhood. The treat of fresh jerky. Thank you Plano Jerky. Make some memories of your own with their awesome jerky.

Plano jerky has consistently provided quality meat and other products. I say chunky peppered is my favorite!

I've been hearing about this place since we have been staying in porterville back in September and finally got a change to visit.It is a really cute place, I expected it to be more dodgey, idk why it's just what I imagined!They obviously have more than just jerky. Dried fruit, nuts, pickled olives, chocolate, and candy. The ingredients are really good too, the things I looked at were made with whole food ingredients and the flavorings were made from the actual ingredient the flavor comes from. Not ubiquitous like "natural flavors"I got banana chips, orange almonds, dried mango, and peppery garlic jerky. I've tried everything but the bananas. The mango taste like a mango version of those orange slice candies. It's slightly sweet and so gummy! Love it! The orange almonds literally taste like I'm eating an orange, it's a weird sensation, like a crunchy delicious orange!The jerky was ok, I would say I was expecting more. The flavor is good, spicy (because we got the extra hot version). So the flavor was there but the texture and consistency of the jerky was a little flat. It was kinda dry, like I know jerky is dried meat, but it seemed dry like it was old. I do wanna try other jerky and see if it was just that bag.Also it seems like they have just a few staple flavors of jerky, nothing exciting just the normal flavors. Teriyaki, original, pepper, garlic.

You are warmly greeted as you walk in. The smell of amazing beef is lingering in the air. The gift baskets and other local treasures are nicely displayed. Great prices.

Great stop on the way back from sequoia! Perfect snack for the road! Great selection and customer service!

I've purchased many other products of beef jerky and thrown them away or just not eaten them since I've tried Plano Jerky. Once you tried Plano there's no going back to the grocery store shelf of jerky selections. When you order it make sure you order by the pounds! 3Lbs lasted my wife and I only 2weeks and a few days longer.

I have not found a jerky better than Plano jerky! The chunky version is my favorite. Also the workers are very friendly and helpful.

The Jerky is amazing . The service is great warm and friendly. They even create gift packages to order.

Customer service was amazing, greeted as I first walked in. She made suggestions and allowed me to taste my options, so that was great. I bought 3 different bags and flavors, and the flavor is great, but this tastes like jerky that is stale and has been opened for months to dry out. I know jerky is dried beef, but this is beyond that. Not sure what to do, but my jaw can't handle this workout.

Food service and ambiance. They do everything just right. Love the selection of jerky and other goodies. Staff are very friendly and helpful. I am a repeat customer and my family as well (even the ones from out of town).
