Hickory Farms Reviews

Cut into the turkey sausage today and immediately noticed it's totally different from what I got last year. Instead of looking like actual sausage, it's got this pate-like compressed meat appearance going on. The flavor is pretty close to how I remember it, but the texture is way softer and feels mushy. Haven't opened the ham or beef stick yet but I'm honestly nervous about what I'll find. The cheese balls were still pretty tasty though.

It's technically edible but honestly it's just not good. You'd get way better quality and better prices buying half a pound of meat and cheese from your local grocery store deli. The packaging is super deceiving with a thick looking box but the cheese inside is only about a quarter inch thick while there's like an inch or two of empty space behind it. The mustard they threw in is okay but you could get better at any store. I used to think Hickory Farms was like a semi-fancy brand or at least better quality, but I'd rather eat old fast food from the trash. The cheese portion was tiny and tasted absolutely terrible. The summer sausage is below average even for summer sausage, but with the mustard it was the only part that was acceptable. I said edible meaning safe to eat, but it's not worth the effort to actually consume. I hate throwing away food but this is one of the rare times I had to toss most of it out. Now I know Hickory Farms as a trash brand, not even budget friendly. Around twenty bucks for a charcuterie thing that any restaurant could beat and you still get less food. Just the amount of air gaps alone should probably be illegal.

You'd expect better crackers for the price you're paying on the whole box, but instead it's mostly air with hardly any actual product. Really disappointed with how they cheaped out on this one.

This gift box was a huge letdown and honestly feels like a scam. The box is packed with so much cardboard filler that I threw away probably 80% of what was inside. I didn't pay money just for packing material. The actual products come in these teeny boxes that are mostly empty themselves. The whole thing only looks full because it's sealed up before you buy it, so you can't see all the wasted space. Total waste of my money. I bought filler, not a gift. It's clear they use all that extra padding to make the package seem bigger than it actually is. Really upset about this and won't be ordering from Hickory Farms ever again.

My credit card got charged twice. I called them to fix it and they basically said they had no clue why it happened, so they'd just cancel my order. Happy holidays I guess.

You can't reach customer service because everything just goes to voicemail. That's not okay when you need to talk to an actual person about fixing your shipping address that somehow got set to the sender's address by default.

Ordered four pounds of king crab legs for Mother's Day and they arrived a week late. The cooler wasn't sealed and the legs were sitting in warm water. Everything smelled terrible. No clue how long they'd been sitting out unrefrigerated or if they were spoiled. I threw the whole thing out. Company wouldn't respond to my emails and I couldn't get anyone on the phone. I'm disputing the charge with my credit card. Don't buy from here, seriously stay away!

The stuff in these baskets are just small samples, not the full sized items. I spent fifty bucks on these baskets and when they showed up I was totally embarrassed. The products taste fine but they're nowhere near worth the price I paid for such tiny portions.

This is a total rip off! More than half of what you're paying for in these so called gift sets is just packing material, not actual meat and cheese!

The way these companies are shrinking their products while raising prices is absolutely out of control. They've more than doubled the cost while cutting what you actually get in half. Don't waste your money on them.
