Caveman_Nick Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 An Omamha Steak retail store has opened up in my area. Are the products worth the premium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoMan Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 CN, I've never had one but most foodies have panned the brand (overpriced). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isleseeya Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I have found them to be very good ...and pretty worth it ...but I find it better to get packages and combo's which are normally a bit cheaper then buying same type or single beef or cut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiley Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 They're not bad, maybe a little overpriced, but not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 I couldn't tell you.... I was in a wedding in August and the groom gave packages of the Omaha steaks that were to be delivered to our houses as a gift to the groomsmen... well.. they've never come, so I have not had a chance to try them out.

Skippy Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 The only way that I buy them in in combo packs that are on special. One really cool thing is that if they have a combo pack with something in that combo that you don't want, they will trade it out for something that you do want. Check the website becuase the stores don't always have the same specials but the stores will honor anything that you print out from the web. I am always happy with the meat and have never had anything bad. I am really happy with the way they are vacuum sealed. Makes storage very nice.

sundaynfl Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Anytime you freeze a steak it losses some of it's flavor. You are better off going down to your local butcher or COSCO (they always have Choice grade or Prime... and you can freeze your leftovers) . IMHO. I just picked up some Choice NY's at Cosco for $6.99 a Lb. and they were tasty! I hate freezing the leftovers, but with beef prices going up in the next few weeks I'll take my chances!

Agreed Cosco is the way to go. If you don't freeze them and marinate them for about 45 minutes before sticking them on the grill they are awesome.

georgemoe Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 (edited) Never had anything from Omaha. I generally do BJ's Warehouse Club and get a big ol' ribeye roast for about $6 lb. I can generally get about 18 - 20 steaks. The nice thing is I can slice thinner steaks for the wife. Keep a few out for the first weekend and then FoodSaver the rest in the freezer.

Kid Cid Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 You pay a premium for Omaha Steaks and they are kinda worth it. If you want the very best in meats (and are willing to pay for it) the you need to order from Lobels. http://www.lobels.com/store/main/default.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zooty Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 I've had their pork chops. They were too thick to cook properly. Should have butterflied them. It kinda ruined it trying to cook it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Neutron Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 These are pretty friggin' outstanding for mail-order. I've been very impressed with a few gifts I've received from Pfaelzer Brothers. They make hamburger impressive. :homerdrool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello1313 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 I do know that I don't buy meat out of the back of a truck right, the cow runs to your grocery store and is slaughtered back in the warehouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omaha Steak Burgers], 8 hot dogs (Gourmet Franks), 2 small stuffed soles, 4 pork chops, 2 little crappy sirloins, and 2 petite filets. I don't think it's a rip off but it's not a great deal either.

broncosn05 Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Expensive compared to the supermarket... Last time for some reason my steaks sucked. Marinated and everything but the steak that looked great turned into 95% grizzle. As for price I think it was around $39 for 3 11 oz. I think we're going to pass. Maybe if we get one in the summer the splurge might be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh B Tool Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 A good local butcher that has been established for awhile and KNOWS how age his beef and cure his pork is worth more and substantially better than ANY mail order products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknrobn26 Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 The wife went into their store, took a look at the meat (it was brown w/ freezer burn) and walked out. She also said it's not prime or choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
