Beef Jerky Unlimited

If you are a carnivore, this is a must-​stop when traveling on I-​75 south of Detroit. They have at least 10 flavors of beef jerky and probably another 10 of beef sticks and some other different things like pork bacon in big jerky-​like strips. All the flavors that I’ve tried are great. We especially love the jalapeño beef jerky — I was worried it would be way too hot at first because you can see little dried up chunks of pepper and seeds on the meat, but actually it’s perfect — just enough heat with great flavor.
Staff is friendly and helpful and will give you a little bit to try before you buy if you are unsure of the flavors. All bulk jerky and beef sticks are $ 25.99/lb but the beef is excellent quality with VERY little fat/​gristle. It’s well worth it.
The location is a bit tough to find although the address is correct on Unilocal,just note that you have to enter the little strip mall off the side street via a kind of long driveway, no entrance from the main road.
Stop here, you’ll be glad you did.

The sign got us. Great selection and very friendly. It’s a little pricey but come on; its jerky!

You had me at Jerky.
To be honest, I probably hadn’t had known that this place existed if it hadn’t had been for their enticing billboard sign that I passed while road tripping through Ohio.
This small store is packed with a nice selection of all things jerky. If your looking for a bag of jerky, guess what, they have that. If your on the more adventurous side or your looking for a variety, you can fill up your own bag of a variety of flavors. This option is great for those who what to try it all, but I would caution, you could end up spending a little bit more due to going overboard on making your selections. But trust me, it’s worth it.
The staff was very helpful and friendly in providing recommendations and samples.
If your passing through, it is definitely worth a stop.

Very good products. Amazing flavors and quality, however. It is pretty spendy. A few pepperoni sticks and you’re at $ 8. Lots of options in store

This is the real deal… I am a little upset with myself, I didn’t buy more when I was there on my last visit… I hope they start selling through the mail soon. Understand they are looking to get their FDA approval… Kmac — Charleston, SC.

Soooo many different kinds of jerky!
They have a ridiculous amount of variety here. They gave out samples of the cherry beef jerky which I guess is their best seller, and it was pretty good. I ended up getting a piece of garlic beef and cajun beef. They also have several different kinds of turkey and chicken jerky as well. They have some exotic meats too that are really expensive so I didn’t buy any, but I’ve never found myself craving kangaroo and ostrich so much…
Their parking lot is kind of weird. We never did find the driveway to get in there so we ended up just parking nearby and walking over.

Hands down the best beef jerky store in the world!
And the jerky… doesn’t matter which animal it came from… is just absolutely delicious.
These guys know what they’re doing.
Like everyone else, I was traveling between Toledo and Detroit and decided to take a chance on this place.
What a find. They really ought to ship the stuff, but then again it would probably ruin the place.
Don’t miss this place.

We pass by here regularly, amused by their slogan «We are not a gas station.» This trip, my son begged me to stop. At first I was put off by the $ 21/​lb cost, but the sneaky clerk offered us samples and OMG… it is good. It’s amazing primal beefy, steaky joy. And the chunks I guessed were a pound were almost half that, so the price is actually pretty decent. Now if I can just find a good hiding spot at home for the last remaining chunk…

Really, really cool concept and tons of flavors of jerky and beef sticks available. The staff was incredibly nice and let me sample a few different flavors before deciding on one (which was difficult, because they were all really good.) Definitely cheaper than grabbing a bag of Jack Links in the Walmart checkout lane and the flavor doesn’t even compare. BJU is the real deal.

Headed from Ann Arbor, MI to Pittsburgh, PA, my boyfriend surprised me with a stop at a beef jerky unlimited shop. He loves his redneck, and I love Jerky! I’m not sure which of the 3 locations we went to, but I was in LOVE. They had home made venison, beef, chicken, buffalo jerky, and more. Seasoning pouches, cheeses, and hot sauces. Everything is fresh with no preservatives or garbage. They have them in Luna Pier, Woodhaven, and Dundee. This will be a pit stop EVERY time we go through Michigan!

This place is awesome!

Homemade beef jerky, fresh cheese curds and a selection of hot sauces that can be used to prepair for a colonoscopy? HELL YES! This might be the most perfect store that does not also sell alcohol.
And, beef jerky might be the perfect food. Well, maybe it’s not perfect (after all, it is a little expensive), but it is very high in protein and very low in fat. It’s my «go to» snack when I’m trying to get into shape.
This little shop in Luna Pier (along the lake, about 6 minutes north of Toledo) just plain kicks ass. Check out the pictures to get an idea for how the store is laid out. BJU (Ha Ha Ha) has two other locations, one in Dundee, and the other in Woodhaven, but the Luna Pier location is the where the jerky is actually produced.
SELECTION: They have about 30 plus flavors for you to try-​before-​you-​buy. Horseradish, jalapeño and Cajun are perfectly spicy. I love really hot food, but let me say this: The «Flamethrower» flavor is so incredibly hot, that it may actually chemically burn your tongue (seriously). If you buy, or even try, flamethrower, eat it last, because after it touches your mouth, you won’t be able to taste anything else for about 20 minutes. Of course, there are mild flavors as well, such as honey glazed, cherry glazed, hickory smoked, teriyaki, etc.
You’re not a vegan but you don’t eat beef? No problem. Try the poultry jerky or ham jerky. These are available in the milder flavors. Occasionally, they have some wild game and/​or some more exotic animal jerky as well.
Throw in various locally produced cheese curds and miniature sausages (neither very healthy, but both pretty darned good).
THEN, throw in a wall with shelves full of various hot sauces, ordered roughly according to their Scoville scores. Their names, like the names of craft beers, range from the ridiculous to the even more ridiculous. By the way, even if a hot sauce is named «Colon Blow,» or «Colon Cleaner,» I would NOT recommend it’s use as a bowel prep for your next colonoscopy.
They sell some canned/​bottled beverages as well.
If you like beef jerky, do yourself a BIG favor. Forget about gas-​station-​variety Jack Link’s. Come here instead.

We love this place and always stop on our way to visit familiy in Michigan… and on our way back home. My favorite is the peppered turkey jerky. It’s so fresh and so good!
The only complaint is that my husband always looks for alligator jerky… I think they had it once, but we haven’t seen it since.

I live in Washington, DC. Granted I am from Detroit – so I know the delicious jerky that comes from this place. To make a long story short — I buy about $ 100 worth and share with all my friends back in DC. They literally fight over it. Each year when I come back to The D – they give me a list and I need a carry-​on to bring it back. Also the owner is fabulous and will shrink wrap for the flight home. Cheers to Beef Jerky Unlimited!!!

How can a place that sells nothing but smoked meats get anything but a five-​star review? Beef Jerky Unlimited does more than just beef jerky as I recently found out. For $ 16.99 a pound you can get all the ham jerky, turkey jerkey, beef jerky that you want.
This place has rows of barrels filled to the brim with any kind of jerky you could imagine. Sweet jerky, smoked jerky, cajun jerky, spicy jerky, garlic jerky and mustard jerky (just kidding, no mustard jerky, that would be gross).
They have tough jerky, soft jerky, wet jerky, dry jerky and jerky chunks, strips and sticks. The owner is also cool and will likely offer you a sample — or you can just be like me and sample everything!

At first it seemed like finding good food between Toledo and Detroit would be impossible, but off the side of the 75 we found Mecca (Meatca).
A small shop across from a gas station that only sold meat and things that go with meat. It was the closest my adult life has matched me to the saying, «like a kid in a candy store.» Inside were a half dozen rows of barrels, barrels filled with meat. Each on flavored and spiced differently. Each with its own type of animal, that was hand grown and dried into chewy meaty perfection.
At first I coughed at the $ 18lb price, but then a helpful sign reminds customers that a 4oz pack of store bought jerky can easily cost upwards of $ 5. Do the math.
I settled on a few varieties of beef, and the best ham jerky (the only ham jerky) I’ve ever had. Everything I got was delicious and some of it never made it back home. One of the best finds outside the jerky was the microwave popcorn bags filled with pork rinds! I already ate my two bags of the dehydrated dried pork crisps and am going to get a case off Amazon soon.
The staff man was very pleasant and helpful and let us taste anything we wanted. I tried the spiciest jerky they had on the floor and it made my mouth numb for the next 20 minutes. I later learned they have something behind the counter that is worlds spicier.
So if you’re ever trapped in that part of America, get yourself some meat!
