Terrible meat...tough steak

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
My husband bought off truck. Guy was driving around our neighborhood and spotted my husband. He said end of the day sale and wanted to sell what was left. He showed him packages that look decent of burgers and steaks. When we got our box, it looked like it had been thawed and refrozen. All the packages appeared to look that way. Who knows how many times it had thawed and refroze. Would Never buy from them again and the steaks were very tough.

Poor product... Way over priced...Lieing Sales person.

Sales person sold us Choice Steaks as PRIME steaks. Over Priced the Steaks { which were so Tough they could not be eaten} By some 100% ... After calling the office, the mgr... Stated that they don't carry PRIME and would't take them back or give us our money back.... They wouldn't answer our calls after that. The sale person Also stated that they could not change out the boxs of Steaks for PRIME because they only sold them in case lots { lie} at a time... Which were six boxes to a case. This company Is trying to cheat customers with over priced , poor product.......

Purchased the steak/ shrimp plan with free chicken for $299. The salesperson was pushy. He didn’t have the seafood on the truck and said he would bring it back when the shipment came in within 2 days. That was 2 days ago and he’s not answering his phone nor is the number on the brochure correct!

Forced to buy meat.

A supervisor came with the regular salesman to show iim how to FORCE customers to buy meat. I did not invite them, but they barged into my housed when I opened the door to say hello. I told "that man" that I had no room in my freezer to buy much meat. The supervisor started taking grocery items out of my freezer & throwing the packaging away to make room. He proceeded to fill my freezer with meat I was telling the man I did not want. I ended up writing the man a check made out to HIM, not the meat company to get him to just LEAVE. Lonestar Meats is a disreputable company that is no longer allowed on the property where I live at 42-Place in Navasota. I did call the police & made a report. Should have gone to the bank & stopped payment on the check, but I did not do that immediately. I am sure the supervisor drove straight to the bank, cashed my check, & out the money in his own pocket. The supervisor came with the regular salesman to show him how to FORCE people to buy meat. I will call the police if they ever knock on my door again. Don't remember the date, but it was over a year ago. Lucky for me, the meat they left was good. I will never do business with Lonestar Meats again. Regards, Cindy Baker

Very Very Bad Meat

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I purchased $190.92 of steaks on March 3, 2017, mostly beef tenderloin (fillet mignon) and some rib eye. The steaks looked clean and well packaged, about 4 oz.

per unit. I cooked them in the bbq for a party I had in my house. The results was a meat so hard that even cut it with a steak knife was difficult and I had to throw all the steaks in the garbage can and order steaks from a nearby restaurant. Discussing the problem with my guests and how I went about buying the meat I found out that a neighbor of one of my guests had a similar experience.

I tried to contact the company but never received a return call. Luis Gonzalez Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70816

*** job

I'm visiting an RV Park in Portland when James Thompson came to my door saying he delivers meat from Lone Star Steaks of Texas. He showed me his product and assured me that it's all grass fed and high quality.

I bought it and wrot him a check for $249. After he left I got suspicious when I noticed he hadn't written his number on the booklet as he said he would and nowhere on the brochure does it say "grassfed". I googled and found this page of complaints and immediately called my bank to stop payment on the check.

He had already cashed it only minutes before. I haven't tasted the meat yet but it's going to leave a bad taste in my mouth.

I just got a visit from one of their "sales guys" and when I asked him for a brochure, he was very reluctant, and assured me that the meat was all natural and grass fed. When I told him I wanted to look at the brochure first and order from it, he basically asked me for $25 for "gas".

Guest

Lone Star doesn't do door to door sales. Who really knows what you bought.....and from whom?!!!

Guest

That's disgusting. My goodness.

Who can we trust? And to not only say he is from a reputable company but to also say the beef is "grass fed". This is something we all want from our meat products.

So sorry you had to experience this. And that it cost you so much money.

This is a lesson many people have learned over the years---never buy meat or any other kind of food from someone who just shows up at your door. You don't know the guy so why would your trust him?

Eat the meat and if survive intact then at least you got some meals out of it. Keep the Lomotil handy, tho.

Of course you are absolutely right. I'm staying in an RV park in my motorhome.

I'm only here for a short time but there are many longtime residents here. So when he opened with, "I deliver meats here and just wanted to stop by to see if you would be interested in any while I'm here." Sucker. Hope they're good but I'm not done with him.

I'm calling the police and making a report. We shall see.

Tough, gristly meat. Very bad quality. Misleading sales people.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Man told us he just sold our neighbor 4 doors down a bunch of steaks for a party and he had some steaks left; would we like to take a look? I thought for the price that I could go for it.

($200.00) for 6 boxes filet mignons, rib eyes, porterhouse (which I later learned were pork). Tried the rib eyes and filet mignons right away on the pit. The filet mignon I could swear was pork, and the rib eye was so thin that when I tried to flip it it was so thin it almost fell through the grill into the coals since it stripped itself from its gristle.

Flavor of ribeye was ok, but tough and very, very gristly, and most of it I had to spit back out on my plate! Trying to get my money back, but the guy will not respond to me!

Lonestar Steaks Of Texas - Meat Review

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Do they even have a corporate or contact? I have the delivery guys contact but we had arranged to pay for the meat four days after purchase, this man called me 5 times a day... no other numbers and when i search there is no company found on google. I want to return the meat instead of paying but he fast talks and wont listen. Its 300.00 amd hes insiting on cash instead of my card or a check. Which seems sketchy. Plus one pack of meat turned a green hue the next day. Im not paying

If the meats I'd bought were mediocre, I'd have been satisfied. This *** was shoe sole quality. I'll run the salesman from my property with hounds next time.

Great meat! LOVE the maple bacon, the prices are great...

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

After buying the meat and before cooking, was curious about the company and checked the reviews online. Sheshhhhh, I was ready to lose 150 dollars because most were terrible, anyway, build up courage and cook some of the pieces thinking that y husband -a picky eater- would start chewing with "that face" wives know when some is gross...

and wow, surprise, the meat was GREAT, tender and no fat almost, so tried other of the things we bought from the nice guy that sold us the meat -he has a tiny dog and I can't remember the salesman name, but he is super cool- and I'm crazy trying to know How to Contact Him again!!! I wish he will pass by so I can have at least a phone number to start ordering meats and breakfast sausages, I so regret I didn't ask!!! I'm almost a 100% carnivorous and I Love steaks and if has not red meat is not food to me, so, I Know.

I was not disappointed at all, so if the guy that sold us the meat -Northwest Houston, the bodybuilders family- Please, pass by and then, leave us a phone number to ask for more. Tried the web but has not that fantastic bacon you sold us!!!
