Large selection of bagged jerkies and a few exotics like kangaroo and alligator. Helpful friendly employee. I bought a 3oz bag of the softest most juicy delicious teriyaki turkey jerky I've ever had for $8.99! Punch card reward system for every visit culminating in $10 off.

Great Jerky! I ordered during quarantine and the order got all the way to Virginia early, and it wasn't too moist or too dry will definitely order again.

This used to be my favorite jerky place. I've been a customer for years. Over the past year the jerky is a lot more moist than it should be. So moist that this last batch molded after a week. Listen Tommy, since you sell by weight, you are purposely not drying the jerky all the way (since water weight means less meat in the package). Sorry but I gave your company many chances and I'm not buying any more. Also, please don't tell me to put the jerky in the refrigerator to dry it further. Again, you sell by weight.

I have just discovered Tommy's newest store today in Avon, Ohio. And THANK GOODNESS I did!!! I was welcomed warmly by both Tommy himself and the manager of the store and was given and explanation of how things worked. Exotic jerkies were in the back of the store (my specific reason for stopping in) and included wild boar, elk, venison, gator, salmon, bison, and KANGAROO. No samples back here but I bought one of everything! Up front, there are racks of prepackaged jerkies and smokies as well as huge barrels filled with jerky, smokies, and cowboy sticks (big smokies). Each barrel had cut up pieces of meat to taste before buying. On the weekends, the manager cooks up sausages and pulled pork so customers can taste their special bbq sauce on sale. Not to mention the deep fried peanuts in a variety of flavors that are super delicious!Jack Links jerky was a staple until today. I'm on a low fat, high protein diet and jerky is the perfect little snack for me to have. For my taste, Tommy's peppered beef jerky is a hundred times better than that processed crap. They make their jerky FRESH every week and send it in from their plant in Wadsworth. Not only are you supporting a local business, it's darn tasty to boot. My husband loves jerky, too, especially the exotic types. We cracked open a bag of peppered wild boar and wow!!! It was tender and slightly sweet- totally unexpected flavors from boar. It was absolutely fabulous. I would recommend this place to anyone (and will be) who loves jerky!! Props, guys!!

While we stopped after Fathers Day weekend, it was Slim Pickens. However, we managed to walk out with three bags and some mustard. The jerky and sticks are legit and we'll be ordering on line, since we are from Indiana. I need another habit like I need another tax bill.....addicting. Beware. Great gift for your guy, friend, father or yourself.

Best jerky ever. I have it shipped because I can't find anything like it in Phoenix. The other brands are overpriced and rip you off. I love that you can try free samples in the store. Go Tommy.

Love this place! My brother in law loved jerky so that's his christmas gift every year! The staff here is always so friendly and welcoming. The store is clean and always smells amazing. They often offer groupon deals which also has me coming back to the store. The roasted garlic jerky and honey beef sticks are my favorites!

A co-worker knew that I liked food with REAL heat in it. He and his buds came up to me and asked me to sample a piece of jerky they had in a plain bag. It had some real "man down" heat to it all right, but what struck just as much as the flavor and heat was the texture of the meat. I had to ask where he got it. He said Tommy's in Streetsboro. I had not heard of this place so I went on line, found the site and was happy to see a location in Mentor. I drove there the following weekend and asked for the hottest jerky they had. The owner's wife pointed the wall and said "Ground Zero" It is without question the best jerky I have had to date. She gave me the rundown on why their jerky meat was so fresh and good. I could tell that she and Tommy have a passion for their product. That is why it is so good.I used to drive all the way into Ashtabula county to Trumbull Locker for my jerky and smokies. Not any more! This store was extremely cool. I met the owner, Tommy, on my most recent trek to this haven of jerky heaven. His enthusiasm for his product matched that of his wife's. I have proudy sent several "heat seeking" friends there and they have all thanked me for the reommendation. Tommy's has a bagillion different flavors and the store is set up so that you can sample them all. Treat yourself to a trip to one of their several locations. You will be glad that you did!

First! Tommy's Jerky Outlet is an emporium of beefy goodness. I first discovered Tommy's Jerky Outlet while on the way to dinner at Mama Roberto's in Mentor (it's a wonderful restaurant). I am not sure how long Tommy's has been at this particular location, but I am pretty sure it's a relatively new store. Apparently, there is a second store in Chardon, OH, or if you're not in the area it appears you can order jerky online, too. When I first saw the store sign, I imagined it would be a store that sold many different brands of beef jerky. This is not the case. Tommy's Jerky Outlet only sells one brand of beef jerky: Tommy's. Don't expect to find any other brands. Tommy's Jerky is good, but not the best I have had. (The best jerky that I have eaten to date is Uncle Mike's, which is only available in select stores or online.) Still, Tommy's Jerky is edible and will probably please the average jerky consumer. I can't speak to their ingredients or methods since I am not a jerky expert, just a humble gnawer of beef snacks. The store carries many varieties of jerky. They must have (at least) approximately 25 different kinds of beef jerky and sausage smokies there, and free samples of everything. You can buy prepackaged or in bulk from a bin. Of all the flavors of jerky and smokies that I tried, I think I enjoyed the Blazing Cherry Beef jerky the most. While not cheap (is any beef jerky ever cheap?), the products are reasonably priced for "craft jerky" (destined to be a New York Times trending story?). They also have a variety of turkey jerky, flavored fried peanuts (the peanut brittle one is tasty), as well as elk, buffalo, and venison jerky (pretty sure you can't sample these last three since they're less plentiful variety of game). I recommend patronizing this place. Drop in, sample the jerky, and buy a few bags...Cleveland needs more unique businesses. And MOAR jerky.

A little pricey, but that's the price you pay for excellent service and superior quality products. At the time of writing this, a 4 oz bag of jerky is around $8-9, but there are so many flavors and each one is different enough that you'd never get tired of it. The guy who runs the store is always nice and pleasant. When I mentioned I was heading on a long trip after work, he even offered to let me try a bag of Energy Jerky. Interesting concept, we'll see how it goes. Either way, every time I've gone in there, I've been really pleased with the service and selection. They also offer a couple of different meats, kettle corn, links, several flavors of peanuts, and a wide variety of sauces.Maybe not an everyday store, but an awesome present for the discerning carnivore and worth a visit whenever you've got the time.
