    Yes, all of the meat and extras were wonderful,altho expensive. Watch the Sunday Papers and you might see specials on them.

    Yes there is one in Bend, about 25 miles North of us. We have been wanting to go there and see what they got.

    Not impressed but they were shipped in an excellent container.
    We expected the steaks to be more tender than they were.

    We have a wonderful IGA in the area that has the best meats. Nuff said. Yes, DH bought some of those steaks from a door to door solicitation. Was not impressed. But truth be told, I prefer pork.

    Aren't these animals corn fed? Animals that are free range, meat is totally different as far as quality, fat, etc. The meat is "a whole different animal" from grass fed cattle then raised on grain. Grain is not a natural for cattle.

    I've gotten them in the past and they were very good. Deserts are also very good. They come frozen and packed in dry ice in a cooler. Great quality

    My son says they're good, and the meat is from reputable sources. Son is a commercial Buyer/Seller of all meat. Took classes under Temple Grandin @ CO State Univ as he was an Ag Business/Marketing major. I've bought them off and on for years and I've never had a bad experience. I do a pkg that has mostly beef... and I WILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND their Apple Dumplings.

    Omaha Steaks are very tasty but also very expensive. I also order from Harris Ranch which also ships using dry ice. Can't go wrong with their meats either.

    My brother used to send us a gift box from Omaha Steaks. It was good.
