"Pretty good chew, just slightly on the tough side"
I picked up a few of these sticks and overall I was happy with them. The texture was actually nice, which is what I usually care about most with this kind of thing, because I really don’t like when they’re soft or mushy or feel like they’re falling apart. These had a good chewy bite to them, in a satisfying way, like you can actually take your time with them. One of the sticks was a little tougher than I personally prefer, so I had to work at it more than expected, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker. I’d still say they were good overall and I’d probably get them again

"Good protein snack, just a little salty"
I’ve ordered from Vermont Smoke & Cure a few times now, mostly to have something quick around for work or after the gym. The sticks taste good, and the protein is solid for the calories, which is basically what I was looking for.
I’m giving it 4 stars because a few of the flavors are a bit too salty for me, so I don’t reach for them every day. Still, they’re a better option than chips. I haven’t needed to deal with customer service yet, and I’m always a little wary of that with online food orders, so hopefully it stays that way.

"Tried these sticks they were way better..."
Tried these sticks they were way better than I expected. The smoky flavor hits right away, but not in that fake “what lab did this come from?” kind of way. It actually tastes legit, which almost makes me wonder what they know that other snack companies don’t. The seasoning is right in the sweet spot too — a little peppery, nice and savory, but not blasted with salt like they’re trying to distract you from something. Super easy to keep around for a quick snack. I’d definitely buy them again...

"I ordered around a few meat sticks the..."
I ordered around a few meat sticks the price feels about right for the quality. They taste way better than the cheap gas station ones, and they’re filling too. I’ll definitely buy them again once I run out.

"My go-to snack when the day gets hectic"
I pretty much always keep these in my bag. On those busy, slightly chaotic days when I’m already running around and feeling a little frazzled, it’s just nice to have an easy snack ready to grab...

"Everything tasted really fresh, and the package..."
Everything tasted really fresh, and the package was still cold when it got here. I remember because I set it on the counter next to a random banana with a sticker on it, and the box was actually colder than the banana. Overall, really happy with it.
"Customer service was actually helpful"
I had a small issue with my order and sent them an email, a little later than I should have because I got busy and kept forgetting. They replied quickly and sorted it out without making it feel like a whole production. It ended up taking one extra day than I was hoping, but that was partly on me for not reaching out sooner. Overall, good service and the people I dealt with were really nice.

"I actually really liked the flavor..."
I actually really liked the flavor on these. They’ve got a nice smoky taste without being overly salty, which I appreciated. Just a heads up though, a few pieces were drier than I expected, so if you’re picky about texture, keep that in mind. Overall, still a good snack and I’d probably buy them again.
"Great for my gluten-free snacking"
These fit perfectly with my gluten-free diet, which is such a relief. I’m always looking for easy snacks I can just grab without overthinking it, and these do the job. Super convenient, it’s nice not having to read labels forever.

"Tastes real and was good stuff"
I like that the ingredients was clean and it didn’t have any weird junk in it. It taste real to me, which I appreciate.
"Shipping made me a little nervous"
Shipping took longer than I expected, and I was starting to worry I’d wasted my money or that the package might get lost. Thankfully, it did show up in good condition, so everything worked out in the end.
