Omaha Steaks???

[Fireballer 2,639]

I got a gift card for Christmas and im checking out the site.  Are they really that good?  $167 for 8 6oz filets?  $55 per lb?

They're ok, nothing special. You'll get way better cuts from your local butcher.

Used them once. Was not impressed. On Skids recommendation we tried Butcher Box a few years back and we still use it.

Overrated.

When someone gets you an Omaha steaks gift card you know that don't care about you.

My Mom sent them to me one year and they were okay but not better than fresh steak you can get at the grocery store.

Gotta admit, I’m all steaked out at this point. I’ve had them all,, Morton’s, Ruth’s, Old Homestead etc and at this point I would prefer good Italian. Steak is kinda played out, not the big deal it once was.  I do like a Carne Asada though, and that would be my preferred steak if I’m in the mood.

Been using a marinade for years now.  Yoshidas.  I usually order it from Amazon.  I marinade steaks overnight in fridge. Thank me later.

Not worth the money at all.  They should be good for that amount but your better off in Costco or local butcher.

That probably the route I would take. Thanks.

I get a quarter of a cow every year from a small local farm. Can't beat it.

I’m admittedly a snob, but I consider them garbage.  Still, they’re free steaks.

Bingo

When I have recieved them I eat them, but am always a bit disappointed knowing the cost.  Hell,just give me a gift card to the local kroger where I can get three times as much for the money, and better quality.

Their hot dogs are excellent.

 I wouldn’t feed it to an octopus

What if that octopus had 8 huge tests?

[Death 301]

No. I can get better meat at the corner store. Totally overrated.

I paid a quarter for your cow m ... oh never mind.

I keep seeing "overrated".  I didnt know they were rated.  I thought it was universally agreed upon that the steaks suck. 

Ive gotten them one time as a gift.  They werent only not good, but downright nasty.

1/4?  We go through a 2/3 a year.

I had gift cards (they use the name kc steak company here) and bought two prime rib roasts.  Made them for Christmas and they turned out really good.  But like others mentioned, I would prefer to use a high end local butcher for prime cuts.

Free steaks though, can't complain
