Meat Shops in Big Bear Lake, CA

“So I stopped in at the headquarters location instead of this one (it's to the East of town), and I can say the jerky here is absolutely exceptional. I think it's *easily* the best beef jerky in town!I've been a huge fan of jerky my whole life, and I pick up bags of this stuff all over the United States any time I travel. This is right up there with the best of them, and the fact it's local makes it that much more special when visiting Big Bear.Overall, it tasted a lot more fresh and tender than the alternatives you might find elsewhere in The Village. If you're into Jerky, or you're gifting for someone else who's really into Jerky, then I recommend you pick something up here. Personally, I really enjoyed the teriyaki beef jerky. This is what I almost always get, though, so buy whatever is closest to your flavor profile!”

“Located on Pine Knot Avenue is House of Jerky. It is a small shop that has an interesting variety of meats to choose from. I saw everything from beef, turkey, salmon, wild boar, lamb, elk, venison, buffalo, alligator, ostrich, python, snapping turtle, and camel! There's probably more that I can't remember, but those were the main ones I can recall. My partner and I really wanted to try the ostrich, so that's all we got. It tasted similar to a peppered beef but just a little tough. Prices reasonable but some items are priced a little higher than expected. Still intrigued by the variety of meats, BUT I personally didn't see any jerky that was made locally. The ostrich was imported from Indiana. The jerky was still good, though, but I would have loved if "House Of Jerky" had at least some of their jerky made in-house.”

“The power was out for hours yesterday but Community Market made the best of the situation! I was able to get some last minute BBQ essentials via phone flashlight and pay with cash. Kudos to the lady working in the dark without even a cash register functional! ❤️”
