Anyone ever dealt with these people? They sell meats, seafood, chicken etc. in bulk and deliver to your home. They came to my house last week trying to sell me something. I Googled them and got some bad reports but that was in Ohio. This branch is out of Baltimore.

Is this the little red truck that drives around with the freezer in the truck bed?

not a scam. they came to our house; we did not do it that time. but, my sister did and shared with us. a company similiar to this did this when I lived in NM and WV- no problems and the food is good. We got t-bones, fish (tilapia), chicken cordon bleu, marinated chicken, and other steaks.....and yes, these are the people in the red truck. what you should do is get a neighbor or family friend to go half with you to see if you like it and go from there. no complaints here.

Thats sounds like the company that sells Ice Cream and meat. I can't think of the company's name right now. They drive a yellow truck.

Schwann's. It's not the same company.

I ordered from them in VA once. The meat was a little on the small side per cut and the quality wasn't the best. It wasn't bad, but not the best. It was nice to get such a load of food for a good price, but when I was done with it all I had to question whether I had gotten a good bargain or not. It was better than trying to pick from the WEAK meat sections in the grocery stores.

Schwann's is awesome. A little bit pricey, but really good quality stuff. They give you a brochure with all their offerings and then they will come to your house each week to see if you want to order anything. You don't have to order each time they come. They have really good pre-made frozen snacks and side dishes, too.

Schwans is awesome! They deliver every two weeks. Yes, they can be a little pricey and not all of their stuff is terrific but the good far outweighs the bad.

I've always been afraid of the meat trucks selling stuff door to door. I remember a very, very long time ago when my mother got suckered into buying meat on a payment plan. She tried to cancel and they billed her for the whole deal even though she was within her cancellation window.

I trust Schwans completely - no one else.

My mom got the meat one time, total waste of money. The beef tenderloin was not really tenderloin, I was suspect of a few other cuts of meat being not what they said they were but made to look like them.

I'm really not trying to hijack the thread but it is on similar topic - has anyone ever purchased anything from Omaha Steaks? I think they had a bad rep at one time but I don't know if they ever gained popularity?

I had that last year... truck and 2 guys pulled up and offered various packages... pretty sure it was Omaha Steaks. At least, that is what i remembered. I got suckered into one of the packages... seemed like a really good deal for a couple hundred, but when we started opening items and cooking them, the meat was very poor quality. Some things were tasty, but over all, I will never buy from them again.

I didn't think that Omaha Steaks went door to door. My Mom got some steaks from there for Christmas and we ate some of them last week. They were really good. :yum:

They showed up at my house last week. We can honestly tell them we're not interested though, since we buy our beef by the Quarter.

Omaha Steaks does not deliver door-to-door. You can only order them online.

That is what I thought. My uncle orders them for Christmas gifts. They are good. But I like Longhorn the best!

There use to be a company called Colorado Prime that delivered to your house, also a little pricey, but the meats were pretty good, but that was proably 20 years ago when I used them on several occasions. Think they came like once a month and you had to order a minimum amount of things to honor a contract you had to sign with them when you signed up.

Eat steak, eat steak eat a big ol' steer
Eat steak, eat steak do we have one dear?
Eat beef, eat beef it's a mighty good food
It's a grade A meal when I'm in the mood.

Cowpokes'll come from a near and far
When you throw a few rib-eyes on the fire

Roberto Duran ate two before a fight
'Cause it gave a lot of mighty men a lot of mighty might

Eat steak, eat steak eat a big ol' steer
Eat steak, eat steak do we have one dear?
Eat beef, eat beef it's a mighty good food
It's a grade A meal when I'm in the mood.

Eat meat, eat meat, filet mignon
Eat meat, eat meat, ear it all day long

Eat a few T-bones till you get your fill
Eat a new york cut, hot off the grill

Eat steak, eat steak eat a big ol' steer
Eat steak, eat steak do we have one dear?
Eat beef, eat beef it's a mighty good food
It's a grade A meal when I'm in the mood.

Eat a cow, eat a cow 'cuase it's good for you
Eat a cow, eat a cow it's the thing that goes "Mooooo"

Look at all the cows in the slaughterhouse yeard
Gotta hit'em in the head, gotta hit'em real hard
First you gotta clean'em then the butcher cuts'em up
Throws it on a scale throws an eyeball in a cup

Saw a big Brangus Steer standing right over there
So I rustled up a fire cooked him medium rare
Bar-B-Q'ed his brisket, a roasted his rump
Fed my dog that ol' Brangus Steer's hump

Eat steak, eat steak eat a big ol' steer
Eat steak, eat steak do we have one dear?
Eat beef, eat beef it's a mighty good food
It's a grade A meal when I'm in the mood.
