Best jerky I’ve ever had! I have to stop and get a few bags every time I come to town. Not to mention the selection on root beers.

Sweet little spot the habanero bacon jerky may be the best I’ve ever had. Venison jerky is good too

One of my favorite places in town. They have a great selection of different jerky and you can sample them! I recomend this place definitely.

Stopped in while visiting the area, I was expecting wall to wall jerky but I guess it really doesn’t take that much room to display a large variety. After looking through the selection I settled on two Packages of Turkey Jerky (Black Pepper and Sweet and Spicy). I would of liked to have tested the waters a little more if there were some small samples for tasting like I’ve seen at other jerky shops. QThe samples are usually very small but it at least gives you a taste of some of the more exotic game jerky. I understand it’s all expensive but what I might have purchased would pay for a lot of postage stamp size samples.
The lady working there was friendly enough I was hoping the owner would of been there he might have been able to talk me into a few more packages I think he would of at least given me a good description of what some of the choices tasted like. I definitely will stop in again when back in the area.

Friendly manager.
We bought jerky for my husband and his family. My husband liked it.
I don’t eat loads of meat and kind of got sad. Kangaroo, elk… Too cute to make into jerky. But people love that, so I still have 5 stars.
I would pass on the chocolate covered bacon. That was kind of beat.

We make it a special effort to come to the House of Jerky when we visit Morro Bay. The range of meats is phenomenal. The venison jerky reminds me of the venison I would eat at the houses of old timers in the Coast Range and the Sierras. It is well worth the trip. Jerky making is a rare art and this wonderful find is the home to real artisanal jerked meats.

Really good jerky variety for a very reasonable price. They have samples and will answer your questions on the different types of jerky. I left with a whole bunch of jerky. They have the option to order online as well because they are so good. Favorite jerky ever.

This place is really good to get jerkey. The staff is very attentive and answers all of your questions without attitude I love when you get attention like that it makes you want to buy the hole store. She even mention you could online order and they will ship everywhere now that’s totally amazing! You Cant beat that anywhere!

Stopped by there over the weekend. The place is a jerky lover’s dream. They have jerkys of all varieties and flavors. Including some animals you wouldn’t think of such as python or kangaroo. They also have a beef brisket jerky. It is to die for. If you want a beverage to go with your jerky they have an incredible collection of root beers and fruit sodas. Get the butterscotch root beer. It’s heavenly.

Decent selection of exotic jerkys. The atmosphere doesn’t really fit with the rest of Morro Bay, there is no outer décor whatsoever. we walked right by it at first.
Lots of great selections: buffalo, Python, shark, kangaroo… insanely expensive. $ 15-​$ 20 for a small bag of each kind. decided it wasn’t worth my money just to try something!
the woman behind the counter was very curt. I got a free ounce from my Unilocal check in and she just threw our bags around and said «none of these are 1oz.» how was I supposed to know they couldn’t discount something I already grabbed? that could have been handled much nicer.
Overall, we enjoyed the jerky we decided to buy. it’s good! but the energy and atmosphere of the store left much to be desired. after waiting all day to go, I was very let down. we’ll stick with ordering online from now on.

I was lured in by the chocolate covered bacon sign since I was with a group of bacon lovers walking by.
The good:
Service was friendly. Since I was there for the bacon, he gave me advice about the difference between the chocolate bacon and chocolate bacon bar. (The bar is a chocolate candy bar that has subtle bacon bits, the bacon is an actual slice of bacon dipped in chocolate). They have two flavors of each: dark or milk chocolate.
There’s a saloon shooting game of sorts inside with a fake cowboy that I almost mistook for a real person. Not sure if that game gets any action, but we didn’t check it out.
Would have been nice:
Jerky normally isn’t my thing, but they had some interesting flavors. If they’d offered samples for some of their more popular or unique flavors, I might have bought some.
Good to know:
If you’re like me and came in for the bacon, don’t get the bacon bar. It tastes great but you don’t get a strong flavor or the novelty of eating real bacon covered in chocolate. However, with the real bacon, expect it to be a different texture and probably very chewy.
Would I recommend? If you’re in the area and like jerky, it’s probably a fun stop. I probably won’t stop by next time I’m in town because I don’t eat a lot of jerky.

We love House of Jerky! My husband has to go there at least once a month; if I can keep him away for that long. He gets the largest bag that they offer which is 16oz for about 35 bucks. They have so many flavors and so many different types of meat. The customer service is always friendly, welcoming and makes you feel appreciated. We would highly recommend House of Jerky to everyone! :)

I am updating my review of 3 stars because they were closed when the Unilocal hours stated they would be open. A day later, I got a message from the owner apologizing for being closed and assured me he would send a bag of jerky to my house for my inconvenience. I got my bag of jerky today. I will continue to drive from Santa Maria to buy their jerky because not only is it delicious but it is obvious that they care about their customers.
Enjoy the jerky!

Cool little shop right over the water! A large selection of jerkys, varying from normal flavors to more exotic. Very organized and clean. As well they carry some pretty bomb hot sauces at lower than average costs. I will definitely stop in again next time im in Morro Bay.
Oh yes! And can’t forget the staff! Nice woman was very informative and patient with our groups questions!

Friendly staff, free samples and tasty jerky that isn’t loaded with tons of sugar. Always a winner in my book.

I tried to think of a reason to give this place less than five stars, but I really couldn’t. Incredibly nice and helpful clerk, free samples, a wide variety of jerky including beef, turkey, pork, and soy, and an equally wide variety of flavors. The price might seem a bit high, but 8oz of top round for $ 20 prepped with teriyaki seasoning? I was definitely impressed.

This place is awesome. They carry a variety of jerky (of course), peanuts, popcorn, hot sauces, chocolates and even flavored drinks like root beer.
The chipotle honey peanuts is what caught my attention first. They have 1 oz. bags for $.99 cents. I bought a couple different ones, but I enjoyed these the best. I also purchased some old fashioned jerky which was quite tasty and enjoyable. Too bad I can’t say the same for the dark chocolate bar with bacon bits. I really thought this was going to taste better, but for me, it’s not a good mixture. I can also say the same for the chocolate covered bacon, was not for my tasting palate.

Wow! such a cool shop! They have every jerky you can think of, from vegan jerky alllllll the way to more exotic stuff like CROCODILE JERKY. They have a whole shelf of very unique and extreme hot sauces – far from your typical sriracha and tobasco stuff. They have a fridge of all kinds of wild soda-​pop that you don’t see everyday too! The shop is small but it’s so fun to see all the stuff they carry (XXX chili pepper chocolate bars). They have samples by the register as well so you can try some of their best sellers.
The owners are warm and welcoming. They helped with all our questions and are absolutely lovely people.

Thanks Unilocalers for your reviews. Check into Unilocal and receive an oz. of free jerky also.
Nice little small jerky shop in Morro Bay. They have a few different flavors of beef jerky. They also sell other unique jerkies and they come in different sizes and weight.
The lady working the cashier kept giving us samples (score), and she was totally nice. The jerkies were pretty good and tasty (even though the air seal bags states that they’re not from the area). Good stop if you love jerky. A bit pricey though. Give them a shot!
