Not horrible, but nothing to write home about, even at the "special" price. The steaks seemed a bit on the chewy side, but still weren't especially flavorful. When you factor in the fact that a substantial portion of the order was hamburgers, hot dogs and au gratin potatoes it didn't seem like much of a bargain to me. The hot dogs were the worst (reminded me of Ball Park Franks - ugh). I had to add cheese to the au gratins. Would not do again.

that's too bad, but you just have to try sometimes...

Omaha Steaks were a huge treat when I was a kid. My dad would get these steaks as holiday gifts from his company. I remember them as something very special.
I've never ordered them for myself, and based on your experience, I don't think I will. We have access to prime at the local butcher shop and I always hate to pay the S&H! ▼
What a shame, Ron. Don't you just hate it when you are looking forward to trying something, only to be disappointed? I wonder how the company handles customer satisfaction. Think I'd be calling the 1-800 number, or email. I really wanted to try those, too.

The latest Cooks Illustrated newsletter rated 7 mail order steaks and 2 from the local grocery store. The Omaha Steaks were the only ones rated Not Recommended.

That's very interesting to know because I recieved the offer in the mail this week along with the extra goodies you get if you order I was seriously thinking about taking them up on the offer, now I think I'll think twice about it. Thanks

I put the free knives and cutting board back in the carton unopened in hopes of getting $2 instead of $1 in case I ever have a garage sale. The food wasn't horrible (except for the hot dogs), but it definitely wasn't what I would call a "special treat." They've been in business a long time and have sold a lot of product, so they must appeal to a lot of people - just not me.
