I sold this horse meat door to door for 13 years. Save your money and time , these guys are con artists , Gypsies that travel the country ripping people off , ex cons , dope heads , just avoid them and the stress and brain damage.

Bait and switch. The steak wasn't pink once thawed, had a roast beef smell or real weird smell. It thawed quickly like it was fish. It look like dollar tree steaks. Dark brown color and very small. I had to call my bank to get my money back. They bait and switch you because my box was $300 but they gave free fish, shrimp and crab cakes to get me to buy it and a coupon. Great sales people. THEY KEEP BLOCKING ME TOO FROM DIFFERENT PAGES.

Rude sales people terrible meats DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY OR TIME!!!

horrible quality meat. One is not low enough. This is a scam. if you don't believe me, get on their social media and watch how they will delete any messages to you if you ask them any questions at all like oz of steak in $40 deal, if they put additives in their meat to try to make some tastes better. etc. do it. send a message or post something like that on social media and watch it go bye-bye. you might even get blocked lol they delete messages and comments within minutes. That's why all their Facebook post appear to be just positive.

The quality of the meat is awful. Our shrimp were rotten upon defrosting and had the poop tracks still in them. The lobster was bad. The chicken was slimy and smelled rotten. THE COMPANY LOVES DELETING NEGATIVE REVIEWS, which is terrible and shows how shady they are. The food quality for the price is just not worth it.

This company is a waste of money. The advertisement shows 20 rib eye steaks for $40 but they are as thin as asada steak. Not worth it. The guy selling got irritated when I didn’t have cash and kept telling me I would be charged extra fees to use my card. Customer service definitely needs work.

I went to this truck today in Marysville stood in line for an hour . Remind you the advertisement says cash , credit , debit and ebt accepted. We get up to make our purchase we’re only interested in the ribeye deal the guy said well I only accept cash for the ribeye deal but since you stood in line I will accept the card this time he was very rude when he said it. I told him nicely that it should be put on the advertisement cash only for the ribeye deal he and again he was very rude and said I just told you I would accept your card why does it need to be on my sign. As for the other meat deals they are highly overpricing for what looks to be fake meat . Unfortunately I didn’t read reviews before buying the ribeyes. I will never again make a purchase with this company. These people need to work on how they talk to customers . Good customer service is importing in the sales department not rude disrespectful a**holes . The same sales guy got into a yelling argument with the gentleman behind me that was upset by another situation .

Spent over an hour waiting in line. The "menus" only give an obscure idea of what they're actually offering. You cant just buy some ribs, some chicken, some steaks, you have to buy each $300 box or nothing at all. Prices aren't revealed until you arrive at checkout where you are placed under a tent setup at the back of the truck where a meat salesman pitches a high pressure sales tactic to spend $300-$600 claiming if you don't buy now the deal will be gone forever. You just spent an hour in line and you don't want that time to be wasted, so they've placed the hook in front of you and know that you will more than likely bite. They don't give you time to make an informed decision. All around very shady way of doing business and for the amount I paid ($226) I don't feel like I walked away with a good deal, I paid pretty average prices for each steak and patty. They are all frozen so forget that fresh taste you get buying from your local deli. I recommend staying far away and supporting your local deli instead. I felt like I was buying a used car, not meat. Honesty is hard to come by these days and this company has a lot to learn. They know if they were honest and upfront with their pricing then they wouldn't sell nearly as much.
