Omaha Steaks

Ok, so I’m absolutely boggled why people are so in love with this place. It is a complete and total rip off. If you can’t find better local steak you must live in India.
Neat fact — they actually have a stand in the airport in Omaha.
I’ve tried several offerings from this place with gift certificates given to me from friends, and I just don’t get it. The meat is frozen, for starters, and yes, it’s vacuum packed, but even with careful defrosting you’re not getting the same taste as fresh steak. I will give you the meat is tender, but seriously — six four ounce fillets are $ 84 plus shipping, so figure $ 100. That’s over $ 65 a pound! You can get good Kobe for that! (Note — not great Kobe, but good Kobe).
Plus the taste just isn’t there to warrant this price. I guess I’m spoiled buying from Burt’s Farms up in Gilbertsville, but his meat is delicious, you actually taste depth and flavor. Heck I can tell whether the cattle are grain fed or grass fed when I buy his fresh meat as you can literally taste the undertones in the meat itself.
Not so here. I mean, yes, it’s good, but not $ 65 a pound good. I’ll spend $ 28 a pound and get some prime aged ribeye at Wegmans any day versus fillets from here.
Oh, I do notice their dog treats are $ 5.99. For 3 oz. Hmm — that’s OVER $ 30 A POUND. Save your money and just buy your dog prime aged ribeye at Wegman’s. It’s cheaper and tastes better!
