Halverson’s

So, a Halverson’s truck was driving by my house and accosted us. I had never heard of them and didn’t have time to Unilocal check them out. That said, the salesman was super friendly and nice (and easy to negotiate the price down with). He was really flexible and let us pick and choose different types of seafood deals.
Now, we did NOT buy any meat — only jumbo fried shrimp, regular shrimp, and Alaskan king crab legs. The crab legs were TERRIBLE and worth only 1 star, but the quality of the jumbo fried shrimp (everything tastes good fried) and regular shrimp were totally fine.
Now I’m smart enough not to buy meat/​seafood off a van again, but overall, my experience seemed to be much better (Thank goodness) than other reviewers.

Not a fan. The chicken has a weird chewy texture and doesn’t feel like real chicken when chewing it. The beef is just gross. You can’t even chew it because it doesn’t break down in your teeth. I’ll never spend that much for crappy meat again.

I don’t think so.
I encountered a door-​to-​door salesman in a Halverson’s truck today after he unlatched my gate and sauntered up to my door. I looked at his product and reviewed his price list.
1. First of all, what part of a CLOSED, LATCHED GATE and a 150 pound dog didn’t this idiot understand? It means stay away unless invited! Fortunately, our big girl was in the house while I was gardening.
2. This dude (Jermaine) was super reluctant to give me the actual weight of the meat package deals. Once I finally learned the weights, the prices are ridiculous.
3. I’d never pay these prices for FROZEN meat.
4. From what I can tell by reading about them, Jermaine lied to me. He said all the beef is GRADED «CHOICE». But from what I can tell from their website and their Facebook page, nothing is graded. Again… too much money for UNGRADED beef.
5. A review of the internet after dude left revealed a plethora of complaints.
6. A quick call to the City of Ramsey revealed that their «peddler’s permit» for door-​to-​door sales expired January 2014. (First permit was 2013.)
I’m giving these guys two stars instead of one star because Jermaine was friendly, super professional, and had balls of steel to risk opening our gate!
