Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 44 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers are impressed with the quality of the meat, describing it as delicious and comparable to high-end restaurants, while also appreciating the variety of options available, including beef, chicken, pork, and seafood. Reviewers frequently highlight the excellent service provided by the staff, noting their politeness, professionalism, and willingness to assist, even helping carry purchases to cars. The pricing is often seen as very reasonable, with many feeling they received great deals and a substantial amount of meat for their money, effectively filling their freezers. Conversely, a small portion of people felt dissatisfied with the product quality, describing some meats as having a strange smell, taste, or texture, and appearing dark, small, or mushy. Some customers also noted issues with the product not matching descriptions or expectations, such as thin cuts or missing items, and expressed concerns about the actual ingredients. There were also isolated reports of negative interactions with staff regarding pricing discussions and challenging behavior.

I bought from Rob in Tom’s River, NJ in September. The customer service was first class and I did the “fill your freezer” special. Beef, Chicken & Seafood. I’m trying to order more now. We just ran out.
