Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 75 reviews.
These beef sticks arrived pretty quick. I was very excited to try them. They have a little heat, but also good flavor. They are not greasy like a Slim Jim. My wife tasted them and though they were a little too spicy. Looking the ingredients over, they seem to be better than most meat snacks and they have a collagen casing. I also liked that they are not loaded with sugar. They are very addicting.
The box they came in is perforated and can be made into a retail box for individual sale. I had to place the box slightly hidden in my pantry so i wouldn’t keep eating them every time I walked by.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for this review Deanna! So glad your son loves out meat sticks (and respect to him loving the Kicker, most kids shy away from that bc of the spice)! Having a guilt-free snack for kids is one of the reasons Ryan created FireCreek, so I know he's happy to see this too. Thanks again!
Spicy on point, you can tell the meat is of the best quality. Gives me actual energy to eat this! Might replace my afternoon espresso with this.
Store owner replied:
We appreciate you Sergio! Thanks for taking the time to share a video as well!
These meat sticks have been a total game changer when I’m on the go—especially at my kids’ ball games or when I need a quick protein boost. They’ve helped me skip the chips and make better choices that actually support my health and fitness goals. The Kicker is my favorite 🔥 Highly recommend grabbing the sampler to try them all!
Store owner replied:
Thank you Jonathan! We appreciate you!
An essential part of any day trip. Found this product at a hardware store. Was the best beef stick I’ve ever had. Besides being a “product of the USA” 🇺🇸👍🏼, love that it’s soy free and low sugar. Nice work Firecreek.
My Mom introduced us to Firecreek Snacks with a variety pack. Our family of four consumed two boxes of the Kicker and Sweet Heat BBQ. We can't decide which is our favorite. Sweet Heat has a nice kick to it and Kicker is beyond phenomenal.
Kicker has just the right amount of heat, and our first ever sale from our family snack cart included one for Colin (pictured). We’re happy to offer Firecreek products among our all-made-in-Illinois inventory.
I am not crazy about the picture, but I am crazy about the Kicker meat sticks by Firecreek. I can eat them anytime for a snack. When I first started getting them at Hansen's the butcher told me how healthy they actually are and how much better they are for me than sweets or chips. Thank you guys for a really great snack!
These snack sticks are seriously tasty. For my husband and I, it's important that they are high protein and almost no carbs because we are into fitness. In the past, we had to settle for bland snacks or other snack stick brands that have no flavor or weird textures. These FireCreek Snacks taste amazing AND they are clean - No Gluten, MSG, Soy or Dairy. As a Mom, I want my kids to eat as healthy as possible, and these sticks make that easy. They LOVE (like crave) the Teriyaki, while my husband and I both love the Kicker flavor. You can't go wrong with any of their products.
These Kicker flavor meat sticks are spicy without being offensive, with a nice mellow heat and a soft texture that’s not at all chewy. I like the lack of added nitrites and nitrates, and the ingredients list is simple. With 7g of protein for 10g of fat, I try to keep it at one per day, but they’re filling, very tasty and convenient.
I loved the savory flavor and thought these were some of the best meat sticks I’ve tried, with a gradual heat that doesn’t overwhelm the flavor. The texture was excellent, with a nice snap and soft chew, and they weren’t overly greasy like many other well-known meat sticks.
I was a little worried that these might be too spicy but my husband said they’re not spicy at all. He loves the flavor. They package is easy to open and get to the meat stick. They smell great. They are full of flavor and taste fresh. You get 20 and my husband likes to eat them just to get some extra protein before his workouts. He won’t stop talking about how great they taste. The pepper on the front of the box is misleading, making you think it will be spicy, but it’s not. They’re very flavorful. I will be buying these again for my husband for sure.
I don’t usually write reviews for snacks, but these are genuinely the best meat sticks I’ve ever had. I’m a busy business owner and mom of 4 so grabbing a meat stick on my way out the door is my go-to. I’ve had my fair share of all the big brands. These blow them out of the water. The texture is great. And there’s so much flavor packed into one stick. I’m addicted. You can tell the ingredients and quality actually matter to them.
Congratulations Firecreek. You’ve ruined absolutely every other meat stick for me.
Tasty with a serious kick. These definitely bring the heat compared to a lot of other meat sticks, and the smoky flavor is solid. The texture is good too, not overly greasy or dry. They make for a convenient snack when you want something savory and spicy.
These beef sticks are delicious with just the right amount of heat. With a name like kicker, I was a little afraid that they s be spicy, but the heat is just right. The flavor is good, the casing has a light snap to it and it doesn’t taste super greasy like some meat sticks do.
I love all different types of meat sticks, but these are the best tasting ones that I have had. They add a slight spice, but I don’t think it’s too much. I’m someone who likes a medium salsa, and this is less spicy than a medium salsa, in my opinion. The price is high, but all of these meat sticks cost about that much. At least for these, you know that you are getting great ingredients. Definitely worth it!
I bought the Kicker variety, and these beef sticks have a nice spicy kick without losing the smoked beef flavor. The hickory smokiness comes through well, and the heat is noticeable enough that I would not call these mild.
Each stick feels like a substantial snack at 1 ounce, so one was usually enough when I wanted something quick with some protein. I also liked that they worked outside of being eaten straight from the package.
I tried the Kicker stick for the first time and was a little worried it might leave a layer of gritty grease on the roof of my mouth, like Slim Jims do — I can't stand Slim Jims. But to my surprise, no grease! The flavor was really good, not overpowering with spices, quite tasty. It had a bit of a snap when biting off a piece and the texture was good, taut not slimy. I would have to say it rates as one of the best snack sticks I've ever had.
Store owner replied:
Hey Erik, thank you so much for the awesome review! We really appreciate you taking the time to send such a glowing review for us - as well as us being one of the best snacks youve ever had. We don't take those compliments lightly, so thank you so much, it means a lot!
Okay… I tried this flavor at an event over the weekend and WOW. As someone in the health industry who lives on high-protein snacks, I don’t say this lightly.. this is hands down one of the best meat sticks I’ve ever had.
The kicker is the best flavor for fans of spice. Too often spicy foods don't have the same taste I enjoy from red pepper flakes; they seem spicy for the sake of being spicy. Firecreek nailed just the right amount and type of heat in this meat stick. Definitely looking forward to having one add a kick to my lunch each day from now on.
What makes the Kicker flavor different from other meat sticks?
Kicker is our boldest flavor yet — a spicy beef and pork stick made with real jalapeño, red pepper and natural hickory smoke. It's handcrafted for heat lovers who want a clean, protein-packed snack with no greasy aftermath or artificial junk.
Are Kicker meat sticks really spicy?
Yes — but it's a clean, balanced heat. The spice comes from natural ingredients like jalapeño and red pepper, giving Kicker a flavorful kick without overwhelming your taste buds. It’s a favorite for fans of spicy snacks that still taste like real food.
What kind of meat is in the Kicker beef sticks?
We use a premium blend of American-sourced beef and pork — no fillers, no mystery meat. Every stick is smoked the old-school way and made in small batches for that deep, smoky flavor and satisfying bite.
Are Kicker sticks healthy?
Definitely. Kicker is a high-protein snack with 7g of protein per 1oz stick. It’s also gluten-free, soy-free, MSG-free, and made without artificial nitrates. Clean ingredients, bold flavor — that’s the FireCreek way.
Do I need to refrigerate the Kicker meat sticks?
Nope! Kicker beef sticks are shelf-stable with a 12-month shelf life. Toss one in your gym bag, backpack, or desk drawer — no refrigeration needed.
Can I buy Kicker sticks in bulk or subscribe?
Yes! We offer variety packs, bulk bundles, and subscribe-and-save options so you never run out. You can mix and match flavors or stock up on your favorite spicy Kicker sticks for everyday snacking.

These Kicker Firecreek Sticks are the best. I'm a Mom with sons and they love these. Little do they know the Christmas stocking stash has been eaten by me!
David J.
Always good flavor. Some heat but not crazy. Will order more.
Cee
These are normally really good, has that spicy kick to it, but this last batch was really salty. I personally am watching my sodium intake, and chose these because they have less than 15% sodium. My husband also commented on how salty they were, and ge eats alot of salt.
Mary W.
Absolutely love them
Susan Y.
My first experience and I LOVED them! Was so happy to come home and try these snacks. I got the spicy one and it is just spicy enough. Love the taste and cannot wait to try other flavors.

Because they didn't always have Kickers, we started buying them online. They are awesome!!
