Iowa Steak Company Low quality meats sold "via" Free Home Delivery Nashville Tennessee

 I purchased the burgers and they are huge! Not like other burgers that shrink, if they do shrink your cooking them wrong. Keep up the great work and you have customers for life!

I have been buying steaks/meats at my door for many years most of the time the meat is great.  I have bought from Omaha Steaks and Iowa Steaks.  In December I bought around 100 lbs of pork and beef from Iowa Steaks, so far it has all been very nice.  If I wasn't pleased with it I would call the company for a refund or exchange.  I also check the meats before I pay and the look of the salesman and his truck.  Last salesman gave me two numbers of his customers so I could check him out and I did.  So maybe I have just gotten lucky with good salesmen and products.

 I just purchased 2 cases of meat from Iowa Steak Co. and pan-fried a filet for my daughter and a sirloin strip for myself. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed the Sirloin steak. It was one of the better sirloins I'd ever had.As for the filet- I did cook it too much and it did shrink to about half the size- but it was still tasty and my daughter loved it. In my opinion a Filet should not be eaten well done and over cooking was the cause of the shrinkage. 

I can't wait to try the other cuts of meat. If they are anywhere close to the strip I cooked in the frying pan then I will have gotten a great product at a good price.

I know someone who has worked for this company for several years selling these steaks. My mother purchased from him about a year ago or so and the steaks were terrible. Tough and didn't taste good. I found out later that he lets the stuff thaw and refreeze all the time.

I will now say that Iowa Steaks are of good quality. Appearance and price are a draw back however my father just purchased from someone other than the person I know and these things were pretty good. The steaks look like your average steak and I believe without actually weighing that the cost is a bit high. However these are the most tender steaks I have ever had in my life. The first steak I've had that I can cut with a fork.

After my last paragraph I sound as if I am now a customer of Iowa Steaks. This however is sadly untrue. I don't think the general public nor my self should be risking buying meat from those who could care less how it is handled. It was once a good profession to be in sales however now they hire the uneducated and lazy to sell things. These people do not care about food safety or how good or bad of a product they are selling. I do realize that some of these people probably take the job seriously and are very passionate about what they do. But the risk of coming into contact with the ones who don't outweighs any benefit.

Just shop at your local meat store or supermarket meat counter. The butchers will never be embarassed to tell you the USDA grade of the meat. They will never lean on you to buy exhorbitant amounts of meat. They will sell you meat by the pound, not by the piece. Remember, only a sucker buys meat by the piece. If you are dissatisfied you will always get your money back.

Why gamble??????? 

A gentleman from this company came to my door today and gave me some story on how he had extra cases and wanted to show me what he had and make me a great offer.  He was a nice guy and the meat was professionally packaged and looked ok from what I could tell.  I decided to take one case at the "chicken price" but googled the company afterward and found so many complaints that I called the salesman and asked him to come pick up the meat.  He assured me he would not sell anything he could not stand behind and he wished I would try it first.  Reluctantly, he gave me my check and took his meat back.

In response to Hippiechick's post:

Would someone with the username hippiechick be someone you would expect to have broken English/bad grammar?  And the logic at the end about the person with the complaint being upset because they got the meat so cheap they couldn't buy beer.  This sounds like it came from someone with a vested interest in the company.

I must say this:

I have never tried this company's product but when you type in their name in google and the third pop-up is "Iowa Steak Company Scam" that is a red flag and I have no desire to give them a shot at disappointing me.

I have been buy Iowa steaks and other products for sometime now. The beef is not low quality and is USDA cut beef and very good meat. The price is incredible and again quality has not once been anything but exception. The delivary service is excellent in shipping and/or delivary. The meat is guaranteed for a year or return and exchange. If anyone has a problems or feels they are not receiving great high quality good tasting meat, all you need to do is call customer service and they will take care of everything polite and handle any issue you may have. They are not a scam and provide a great meat and incredible pricing. Where else can you receive delivary of prime beef at prices of around $2.50 to $3.00 a cut and 68 steaks of differant chosen meat cuts. I know there is not a place to get T-bones, filet,ny strip, ribeye etc.... at any grocery store at the quality this meat is and again great quality. So I say buy it and this person I feel was upset he received his meat so cheap priced and didnt have money for beer at his cookout. Thanks again.

The company sent me a message on here, to try to make it right. I commend them for it. But I still feel the meat we received was low quality. I hope that others will put reports on here soon.

I was told that their burgers was of the same quality as "Logan's Roadhouse" burgers. It is so funny, if you saw these burgers. They were smaller than any fast food's kids size burger. What a joke?

Cooked three Filet Mignon, the bacon wrapped around it smelled old when cooking. They ended up being the size of a large egg.

If I could upload pictures on here I would.
Only way I would satisfied now, is if the transaction never took place.

Thanks
