    The actual store

    Good bef jerkey selection and prices were decent, you obviously always want more for the price but the selection was great , last place like this was jerkyville usa in Monterey so happy to see this place is still up and running

    a variety of pastries

    How cute is this? And how unique is it to sell boar jerky, camel jerky, and python jerky? There are such things and we did buy them. It's a cool spot and fun to see, for sure. It's not often that you enter a caboose and handle business like we did. The prices are reasonable and they sell peanut brittle, honey, fudge, pecan rolls, and packaged dried fruit as well. The reason why I didn't give this a 5 is because it advertises candy, and the candy selection is kind of sorry. In my humble opinion, it's never okay to overprice the exact same candy that you can get across the street from the liquor store. There is candy from "The Nut Garden" that is extremely good and, from the package, looks like it hails from Utah.

    OMG!!!

    Love jerky but it's so rare to find a jerky that's flavorful and chewable. This wins 1st place in all my years of trying jerky here and there! Found their jerky at an ice cream shop (Bud's) downtown and was hooked. So addicting that I had to visit the mothership! Timbo was great! Found him in their Italian restaurant Zano's near closing, and he opened the Caboose so I could get my jerky fix before leaving town. Did I forget to mention how personable and funny Timbo is? Well, he is! Go visit and try their huge selection of jerky!!!!

    I'm in Truckee often, and I generally spend my time fishing, skiing, boating, cultivating my sunny disposition, and masking my disdain for all the flatlanders that have turned this wonderful town into Aspen Jr. While only 60% of my time is spent bitching about how much better it used to be up here, the rest is spent on the aforementioned activities, and stopping in at Jerky Junction. It's in an old train car which used to be Truckee Brewing Co., in the same center as Zano's on Donner Pass Rd. The shop is small but they manage to cram in every type of jerky you could want. I eat a real meat based diet, so I'm a real fan of jerky....and I don't give this label to anything lightly....but this place has THE BEST jerky I have ever had the privilege of consuming. For real! It's moist, has a good flavor, and they've got lots of varieties. Salmon, elk, beef, buffalo. I always stock up when I go in here so I can have enough for the week. They've got deals too, like 3 bags of their house brand for $15 (I think). If you enjoy a good jerky like I enjoy a good jerky, go here to get it. Yes, cross the street from the 7-11 and pick up the good stuff...there'll be a party in your mouth.

    I saw their jerky, they had a lot of different flavors, including venison, elk, and salmon, which are a higher price than the regular jerky.

Their focus is on high quality local sourcing within a 100 mile radius of Truckee and North Lake Tahoe. We were staying nearby and hadn't tried this fine dining restaurant yet. Chef Marshall Smith. 4.3 rating on Google and Yelp. The restaurant is located in the hotel complex in a modern wood building with an attached fully enclosed and heated exterior patio. It not a large restaurant and not overly filled on a Friday night. Food was better than we expected. Both entree hit the mark. Service was solid. They provided good help with ordering and all our needs. Food Review: HAUS FOCACCIA -- ($10) 3 pieces, made in haus fresh every day was a little more brittle than we liked but solid flavors and texture. High quality olive oil and vinegar in a cool container. 9/10 HEARTH ROASTED BEETS ($19) burrata, pistachio, blood orange, raspberry vinaigrette, mint was a beautifully plated salad. Nice fresh balanced beets, cheese and fruit. 9/10 ORA KING SALMON ($52) lemon dill beurre blanc, quinoa roasted vegetable medley was a huge portion of beautiful salmon. It was cooked perfectly and accompanied with a nice quinoa bed. 10/10 PAN SEARED SCALLOPS ($48) orange marmalade, roasted mushrooms, arugula, pistachio crumble had 3 large scallops cooked perfectly with a nice fruity and nutty accent. The small middle salad was also well done. Great for those who don't need huge portions. 10/10 Overall - Very Good Food - Excellent Decor - Very Good Service - Very Good Value - Good Would we come back - Yes

Free samples caught my attention and striking up friendly conversation with the owner Karla MacLeod really showed you can deliver wonderful customer service without being pushy. Loved it! They have a huge line up of spices, anything for a simple to gourmet chef and fun country items. I was ECSTATIC to see she sells Nevada Brining Company pickles - handcrafted in the Silver State - Wahoo!! I just watched a story on channel 2 news about this start-up pickling genius and it was on my list to check out. Fell into my lap visiting this boutique. I bought the Boozy Pickle with Whiskey and Fresno Peppers and the fast selling Ruby Red Onions Sweet & Sour. Prices are reasonable and lower than what other outlets charge for this popular pickling company. I can't wait to try the cauliflower when she gets it from the manufacturer. I appreciate the attention to detail wrapping each jar in purple gift wrap paper and placing into a crafty gift bag. I'm coming here for a last minute gift ideas! Really convenient they take plastic considering how small this establishment is. What's cash? Next time, I'm going for the red spicy salt for Bloody Marys!
