My husband and I have driven past this jerky stand for years and have never stopped. I love beef jerky and it is one of my favorite snacks so we told ourselves we would have to stop this time on the way home from visiting friends. The owner was super nice and personable and gave us lots of free samples! They offer so many different flavors and textures -- from beef to buffalo to even alligator! We opted for 4 different flavors of beef since I loved the softer texture. I'll be coming back soon to check out the meat sticks I was eyeballing in the corner! He takes card payments or cash, but definitely prefers cash! His little stand is located just off the side of the road and was loaded with so many jerky options and it was such a welcoming vibe when we walked up! We will make sure to visit every single time we drive by now! read more

We have made a tradition to always stop at this place when we go to Arnold. He always share samples and my girls love it. The flavor and quality is amazing. If you are on highway four don't hesitate to stop. I really recommend this place. He not only has a great personality, but he has a good variety of jerky. Our favorite is traditional buffalo, although my girls like teriyaki. I find all of them full of flavor. The shack is a total focal point, you won't miss. It is very cute. The owner 's personality adds a great experience to your stop. read more

My girlfriends and I saw the Jerky4U stand on the way to Yosemite for our annual girls weekend & on our way back we decided to stop. Little did we know that stop would make our whole day :) Michael & his dog, Jack, make a great team! He was nothing but kind & offered us to try different jerky flavors. We had great conversation & you could feel Michael's passion for his quality products. I bought the cactus jacks sweet & spicy beef jerky & the western sky's red pepper Buffalo jerky. These jerky's are so flavorful & best of all- I can order more online, as many as my heart desires! These jerky's are preservative free & fairly priced.

Great place for jerky! The jalapeño buffalo and red pepper jerky are supreme! Great flavor especially if you like something a little spicy. We also got the sweet and spicy and peppered that are awesome! The guy manning this spot has a great personality and sense of humor which will have me coming back, even though I live far.

Western Sky's Jerky - Jack the wonder dog! - Street Vendors Near Me - Stockton, California

This little shack o jerky is a great stop for fans of dried, exotic meat. Little samples led us to bring home a buffalo jerky with a rich, smokey flavor, from Montana ($12 - 3 oz.). Also delicious was the kangaroo, which we did not end up purchasing, but learned about the high protein value. An habanero buffalo was our second pick ($8 - 1.75 oz.) and was just the right amount of spicy. If you happen to be driving through Stockton and see this cart, you should definitely stop and find a unique snack to take home! read more

The jerky from this place is so unique and delicious -- my personal favorite is the bison jerky, but i was pleasantly surprised at how good the Elk, Boar, and even Alligator were. The employee was super kind and helpful. 10/10 recommend read more

Wow!! that stuff is good awesome dude awesome jerky original buffalo mmm say no more read more

This is the best hidden jerky site ever! The owner is such a cool and nice guy, and he has some of the best and most exotic jerkies I've seen. The bison usually sells out first, so get there early. It's worth it. The deer and elk are fantastic, and if you are looking for just plain old cow or turkey, he's got that too. My favorite is the duck and the wild boar. Love the gator and kangaroo as well. read more

This is a Jerky Shack for Western Sky's Jerky. Driving by on my way to Stainislaus National Forest what did I spy but a farmer selling produce, and next to them a jerky shack! Considering I was going camping and hiking for the weekend, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to buy some jerky. There were a number of jerky choices available: Buffalo, Alligator, Elk, Ostrich, and Venison all advertised on the sign, although there were a few different flavors of each inside. The guy who was manning the cart recommended the beef when asked for his recommendation; he said it is the best value. We decided to go with something a little off standard and got the Elk jerky. The jerky was good, he was helpful and I'd get some again if I was in the area. However, the Elk tastes a lot like beef. Maybe next time I'll try Ostrich or Alligator. read more

Best jerky I've had (Buffalo jalapeno - $11) The bag, sadly, won't last long since my gf and I started demoliting it before I got back to my car. Awesome guy running the shop too. Gonna start a new tradition to stop here when I pass through. read more

Michael is awesome guy. And this little jerky shack is also awesome. Every time I visit California I always make sure I make a stop to stock up on buffalo jerky. It's the best jerky ever! (Plus an extra bag cause always finish one before I even leave California. Lol) read more

I've spent my life in search of the perfect beef jerky and atlas 7 years ago I found it! For other jerkaholics you'll appreciate Western Sky's Jerky. Believe me when I say that this place is heaven on earth. I stumbled upon the shack on my way to Arnold and have been in love ever since. I started with the beef jerky then by suggestion moved on to plain buffalo and have met my match with the jalapeno buffalo jerky. When I first consumed this amazing delight it was like finding my true love, no maybe the feeling I had on my wedding day or perhaps the feeling of your first born. It was magnificent in every way possible. The taste took my breathe away and have been addicted ever since. Now that I think about it... I probably shouldn't have wrote this review because now you'll know my secret. Stay away from my buffalo jalapeno jerky!!!! read more

The name says it all, it's really really good. I buy it online sometimes when I don't go up to my friend's cabin. The price is actually pretty decent compared to Jack Links/Oberto etc in the grocery store. Costco probably cheaper but much less good. read more
