Great American Steak

This is a business that has trucks that drive through neighborhoods and sell

meat and fish combo packages out of their refrigerated truck. They are

called Great American Steak.com. The 2 young men gave me a song and dance

about some woman who cancelled her order and so they had to sell it off

rather than go back to their warehouse? with this order... so they were

selling the steak combo package for less than advertised and throwing in the

seafood combo package for free. Well, the whole thing ended up being $415

because of tax and some one-time 'get you in our system fee' of $25.

I am not unhappy with the meat. I do have some reservations about the

seafood package, not to mention their "a customer cancelled story"

(hindsight is always 20-20). The salmon bleeds out a lot of water when

defrosted. Additionally, there are packages of what appears to be salmon

kabobs. However, when you start cooking them you discover that the pink

color is dye and the fish turns gray. I don't know what kind of fish it

really is. I have called the phone number on their website but always get a

recording. I left a message and hopefully someone will call me back. They

say on the website that they are a family owned business serving California

and Nevada but the Nevada phone number listed is disconnected.

All in all I wouldn't recommend purchasing any of their products.

These fools just stopped by my house. Same story... a lady's husband down the street lost his job and couldnt accept the shipment, and they just wanted to get rid of it. They even had a prop check to show me what other customers pay. I think I am a pretty good judge of characte, so I was skeptical from the beginning. And, it would take one hell of a sales person to make me turn over my credit card on a whim (and on the street). But, I still made these meth heads open up just about every box of meat on their truck before saying, "no, I'm not going to be a customer today". Then they wouldnt even let me keep the company information printout. You know what they said as I walked away, "that's a piece of sh!t". Nive try ass clowns!

My husband was home for a few hours and a man who said his name cond him into buying out dated meat. My husband has a stroke and does not think as he should and was taken advantage of. This outdated meat will be thrown away and we cannot afford this. The check was made out to Larry Shapiro and I will press charges if need be as this is not right to take advantage of an ill person.

yea creepy, they came to my garage while I was getting my toddler out of car at 615 pm stating my neighbors had bought some, basically they followed me from main street as were behind me, I called my spouse outside and informed the police. Albuquerque

I totally agree. I bought from this company and have had to throw most of it away. Does anyone have a website for this company? I basically just threw away $399.00. I have no phone number either.

I, too, agree with this review. I purchased a box of bacon wrapped fillet and they are all but inedible. They are tough as shoe leather and have no taste at all. It doesn't even help to use tenderizer and marinade. I will not purchase from this company again! This "fillet" is a joke!

I completely agree with this review on the Great American Steak & Seafood company. I received the same sales pitch from a driver of a refrigerated Great American Steak/Seafood truck 60 days ago. He informed me that he was always in the neighborhood delivering to a variety of my neighbors....so I allowed him some time to walk me thru his offer. He brought a box of steaks into my garage, laid all of steaks out for me and essentially sold me 8 fillets and 8 NY/KC strips for $60 (which seemed like a good deal at the time). I defrosted the steaks and cooked them that evening and quickly discovered that the meat did not cook like the steaks we buy at the local grocery store, the meat was not tender and it did not taste good. Since then, I've tried calling the customer support # and it always goes to voicemail....so I've left a message and I have not received a phone call back. I would like my money back as I've only had 2 out of the 16 steaks..but no word. Bad product & bad customer support.
