I just spent over $500 on their box deal. Got it home, took a closer look and am not happy with the quality. Everything still packaged. They blocked me on Facebook when I reached out. Trying to contact them to get a refund; they can have their garbage meat back.

We bought from a EFD truck at a local Harbor Freight parking lot. We bought beef, chicken, and fish boxes at $400. The steaks are chewy, the chicken is slimy, and we have only tried the breaded shrimp from the fish box. the chopped beef steaks are the only beef options that are acceptable. this company sells low quality meats at a low price. You get what you pay for = discount meat = low quality meat.

Should have done more research on this before buying. Meat is absolutely disgusting. Everything had a weird texture and tasted awful. I tried giving the burger to my cats and they turned their nose up at it after a few bites. The burger patties were super red and come to find out they have beet juice powder in it. That explains the color and probably off taste in that. Just do your due diligence and research and read reviews and read ingredients on the boxes. You're better off buying from a local butcher for not much more in cost

OH MY GOD!!! We drove all the way over to see what you had for sale in Albany, Oregon. We waited and waited. We saw a price sheet on the other side of the table and were reviewing it. A young guy arrives and starts yelling at us 3 to get out of there!!! He yelled, I had that blocked, move! We were very upset with how he was talking to us and told him we were only looking at prices. He tried saying they were on the other side and they were not. He tried saying things were in boxes, like tables were going to stop anyone if they wanted to steal what was in the box??? He tried making my husband be a hero and yelling that he was over here, he was over here!!! I said, he's my husband! He was offensive and scared us 3 women! He wouldn't stop so we started yelling back at him. Oh my God! We all felt very attacked. We obvious left, talking back at him, bought nothing. This is the representation of your business???? I will review all over FB sites where posted and tell everyone about our experience!! How dare He!

Steaks are all mushy like they have been frozen and defrosted many times

Me quisieron vender todo el producto y los 20 ribeyes son demasiados delgados los ribeyes es solo un enganche para insistirte en comprar otros productos y se demoran demasiado con cada persona pir eso mismo que tratan de vender otras cosas

🚨 BEWARE: SCAM / BAIT & SWITCH 🚨 This company does NOT deliver what they advertise. ❌ Bait-and-switch tactics — my $300 box was pushed with “FREE” fish, shrimp, crab cakes, and a coupon just to close the sale ❌ Once thawed, the steak was NOT pink, had a roast beef / weird smell, and thawed suspiciously fast (like fish) ❌ Meat was dark brown, very small, and honestly looked like Dollar Tree steaks ❌ Extremely low-quality and paper-thin cuts ❌ Fake “customers” posting misleading photos ❌ They delete comments and block me across multiple pages instead of addressing complaints ❌ 2.6 rating on Trustpilot 🚩 ❌ They constantly change their business name ❌ Refuse to discuss price, weight, or quality until you’re “first in line” ❌ Then use aggressive, high-pressure sales tactics ❌ Rushing you with flashy presentations and oversized packaging to hide the lack of value I had to call my bank to get my money back. Yes, the salespeople are polished — but don’t let the show fool you.

Totally got scammed by the guy in Tulsa, Ok the deal was not what he tried describing he totally took advantage of me because I’m female by myself. $200 for steaks that didn’t add up to the weight on the box also didn’t get the ribeyes he said were in the box. Waste of money. If I could return I would.
