OH MY GOD!!!

OH MY GOD!!!We drove all the way over to see what you had for sale in Albany, Oregon. We waited and waited. We saw a price sheet on the other side of the table and were reviewing it. A young guy arrives and starts yelling at us 3 to get out of there!!! He yelled, I had that blocked, move! We were very upset with how he was talking to us and told him we were only looking at prices. He tried saying they were on the other side and they were not. He tried saying things were in boxes, like tables were going to stop anyone if they wanted to steal what was in the box??? He tried making my husband be a hero and yelling that he was over here, he was over here!!! I said, he's my husband! He was offensive and scared us 3 women! He wouldn't stop so we started yelling back at him. Oh my God! We all felt very attacked. We obvious left, talking back at him, bought nothing. This is the representation of your business???? I will review all over FB sites where posted and tell everyone about our experience!! How dare He!

🚨 BEWARE

🚨 BEWARE: SCAM / BAIT & SWITCH 🚨This company does NOT deliver what they advertise.❌ Bait-and-switch tactics — my $300 box was pushed with “FREE” fish, shrimp, crab cakes, and a coupon just to close the sale❌ Once thawed, the steak was NOT pink, had a roast beef / weird smell, and thawed suspiciously fast (like fish)❌ Meat was dark brown, very small, and honestly looked like Dollar Tree steaks❌ Extremely low-quality and paper-thin cuts❌ Fake “customers” posting misleading photos❌ They delete comments and block me across multiple pages instead of addressing complaints❌ 2.6 rating on Trustpilot 🚩❌ They constantly change their business name❌ Refuse to discuss price, weight, or quality until you’re “first in line”❌ Then use aggressive, high-pressure sales tactics❌ Rushing you with flashy presentations and oversized packaging to hide the lack of valueI had to call my bank to get my money back.Yes, the salespeople are polished — but don’t let the show fool you.

Good deals and great customer service

I saw an ad for the company and decided to check it out. I found they had many options as far as beef, chicken, pork and even seafood, left with a great deal and now my freezer is full for the winter if not longer, will definitely visit again when they are back in town. Thank you, Kyle, for the great customer service!

I bought from Rob in Tom’s River

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.
