We originally went here for the laughs (coffee and beef jerky sold in the same building?!) but had an awesome experience. We walked inside and had some really great conversations with Mike, his son in law, and one of Mike’s long time friends. We ended up getting some coffee and jerky to go and both were better than we had expected!

I didn’t know what to expect because I never thought of combing coffee with jerky, but both were delicious. My husband said it was the best beef jerky he’s ever had.

We stop here every time we are in Roswell; it’s a must. The jerky is amazing and my husband won’t eat any other jerky now that he’s had theirs. Also, we tried a new coffee called a cloud coffee and you should take that chance and just try it. It’s like a cold creamy velvety cappuccino! I got mine with no flavor, as I wanted to try it just plain to give my honest opinion and wow, I may just get it that way every time!

Family owned businesses! Very friendly and welcoming. Got to try a couple samples and the hottest of the hot is the 3 horse man! Hottest jerky or food Iv tried! If you want to test your self give it a shot! Coffee and smoothies are great too!! 100% would recommend over any franchise

This place obviously caught my attention with the name! What a cool combo, coffee AND jerky! Coffee was really great! It was a hometown feel, low key and nice staff.

I mean...when you see a drive-through coffee and beef jerky spot, you HAVE to stop, right? This is a quintessential (non-alien) Roswell experience, and I'm SO glad I stopped by! I arrived less than an hour before closing, but I managed to luck out with the flavors of jerky I wanted - Mike (the owner) still had them on hand! My fiance is a fan of beef jerky and I wanted to bring some back to him in Orlando. He requested the Carne Asada, which I wouldn't have chosen for myself but it ended up being one of my favorite flavors. I also ordered the sea salt and pepper (ingredients: beef, sea salt, pepper) and the green chile. Mike didn't have any left in the fridge, but he benevolently went out to the smoker to see if the green chile was ready, and I got it so fresh we couldn't zip the bag closed until it cooled completely. Such great customer service. And it's so delicious! I also tasted a few other flavors, and they were all amazing. My surprise favorite was the lemon pepper. This is BY FAR the most superior beef jerky I've had. I hope my parents come back on my behalf! We topped off the experience with raspberry hot chocolate. Although I'm not a coffee at 4pm kinda gal, the fact they have Black Rifle Coffee is also a bonus in my book! I highly recommend stopping in!

Excellent coffee and jerky. Very reasonable prices. If you're looking for delicious coffee and beef jerky at an affordable price, I can't recommend this place enough.
