Placed an order with them, received it and was disappointed to find the order they shipped was not correct. Have tried multiple times to contact them to get this corrected (I was totally willing to accept this was a mistake and ship the wrong item back) but they don’t respond at all to any communication (though they did seem to have the time to send me an email wanting me to review the product I didn’t receive). Big FAIL on customer service. We will order from someone else. Find someone who cares about customer service before you hand over your credit card.

I ordered from this company online almost a month ago and have not received what I ordered. I sent and email but it was returned because their inbox is full. I called and could not leave a voicemail because that inbox was full as well. Beware of this business's extremely poor customer service and possible misrepresentation!

We attempted to come here Friday, and even though it was during store hours, the lights were off and the door was locked. Very clearly they were closed. I called the number on the door and left a message, no one ever returned my call. My husband and I happened to be in the area for business today, so we thought we would stop in. While they were open, when we asked why they were closed on Friday and why no one ever return our call...the response we got was simply that he had only gotten a couple of hours sleep and had several other people he needed to get back to that he had yet to get back to as

Stopped by this place after getting my nails done and wow!!! This place is amazing, it's a one stop shop for so many unusual and unique things. I went in and couldn't believe the selection, a lot of exotic jerky's..... they carry a "RoadKill" jerky and JAckalope! BTW that is NOT a real animal, I googled it.
Anyhoo, they have such a wide variety of items I was able to get my next couple of gifts taken care of. Jerky, Maple Bacon Coffee and a Venison sausage for Father's Day gifts, a super cute pair of crew socks for my daughter and I needed a gift for my boss, lol, I got him Sout cream and Onion

Dude! I'm a big jerky eater, please come here for all your wild game jerky needs! They have all sorts of fun 'kitschy' items like bacon (everything), wild game jerky including boar, kangaroo, alligator, python, and a variety of others! The owner is so cool and it's nice to be able to put a name to local business! GYSOT!

This is such a quirky little place! There is so much bacon and bacon-themed stuff. We bought the Meat Maniac brand of jerky, 3 types, and it was love at first taste!! The owners are so, so friendly and lovely people to talk to! They also have canned meats, bugs, and novelties. We can't wait to go back and grab more jerky and try some of their bugs!! I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants delicious, quality jerky without breaking their bank!!
Being a USMC Veteran, I can't wait to buy this stuff in bulk to send in care packages to our deployed brothers and sisters in arms,

Bugs! Bugs! Everywhere I see bugs! I know bugs freak a lot of folks out. I came here for jerky and additional information on the business of jerky. The owner Torrey, carries all types of exotic game jerky including varies bacon novelty items. But what I did find in addition to jerky is a multitude of roasted and dehydrated insects. I think this business of bugs is buggy!
Multiple BBQ sauces are available for purchase. The owner also told me he does mail orders too. I bought a few items of his brand jerky to bring to work. I think the bugs would go over great at Halloween. Something to keep in

I came across Meat Maniac when searching for something cool and unique for Christmas gifts this year. This place is GREAT! They have everything from edible bugs, every flavor of jerky you could imagine, anything bacon, gag gifts and so much more. While I found the perfect gifts for my dad and buddies, I also bought myself some wild game jerky for fun and surprisingly it was all very good. I highly recommend stopping by to see the fun things they have to offer. Also Torrey, the manager, was very helpful in explaining the insanity that is Meat Maniac. If you can't stop by check them out online

Great business and lots of variety of things to try. Tons of Bacon flavored and themed things so there is no shortage of good snacks and odd gifts and gags to buy. Some of my favorite things include the Bacon Salsa, Bacon Jerky of all variety, and their variety of wild game jerky. Also you can buy online if you're unable to go into the store but of course shipping not included.
Also, the bug snacks are great tricks, or treats depending on the victim. No shortage of weird there with Scorpion suckers, seasoned crickets and larvae, and other crazy would never in my life try insects. The owner

Jerky, Bacon & Bugs.
The name made me think it might be a butcher, but there is no raw stuff here. Everything here is heavily processed
Aside from the jerky, everything here makes for a great, small 'gag gift'. Bacon paraphernalia & Bug snacks. Perfect for people looking for more lean proteins in their diet. Delightfully crunchy. No oils used.
Their jerky is actually 'functional', in that it is something one might actually purchase for themselves. All of the jerkys can be found online, but it is convenient to have them all located in one store. Lotsa different

Entering Meat Maniac feels like coming home. If my home was filled with meat. Okay so it's more of my ideal home that I wish I could live in, but hey close enough.
I found Meat Maniac while driving up Plano Road for a meeting. If I had more time I would have stopped in that second, but responsibility got the better of me so I held off on visiting for a day. Usually I have some sense of an idea of what I'm getting into before visiting a business, but in this case I really wasn't prepared.
