Wish i would have read these complaints before i dealt with these guys. Havent tried the steaks yet but the reps, one in particular, was all about the money. I was writing the check for $30 and as i was writing he told me that i could just move that decimal over (Make it 300) and he would give me a deal! I should have known right there something was up. That was being a little pushy. I 'd had a hectic day and wanted them to go. Thats my fault. Should have told them no. And to top that off my wife called me at 11:30pm and said these guys were rollin around the neighborhood. Kind of freaked her out cause i told them i was goin on vacation and couldn't afford anymore. Made her suspicious. Like i said havent tried the product yet, but definitely dont like their style. Even if the meats good i wont deal with them again. I paid them $30 to get rid off them. Thought it might have been cheaper the uppercuttin them in the jaw. Anyway, let you know how the meat was.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
i worked for Iowa Steak company before. I want people to know that there is nothing good about Iowa Steak company. if they were a good company you would not be paying 400 dollars for a case of meat and really they get the cases of meat for 121 dollars from cold storage. they have their sales reps, which a felons and Drug addicts. This company grew on the pyramid scam and tricking people to thinking the meat is gourmet. They say the deliver to five start restaurants and they don't. They cheesecake the take highly about, is not sponsored by the cheesecake factory and they buy those as well for only 13.50. Im not trying to ruin the sales but would like the public to know how the Iowa Steak company is ripping people off. I know the office in Cincinnati Ohio is full of the crooks and the manager is a hot head who thinks he is black, but a white boy who wants to be black and a thug. That's your customer service. The financial gains they get from customers is and average of 300 dollars for a single case. Do you really want to support a prison that's doing no rehabilitation's but encouraging lies, theft, deception, poor customer service, and money you work for is there paycheck. Don't use a credit card because all you're information is at risk and nothing is secure. You're information is a risk. Don't buy from these guys and especially the office in Cincinnati Ohio. 4722 Interstate Dr [protected]. Manager is Steve and he have an army of criminals. He cant deny the fact or that people do change. At-least he fired a changing person because he deny the fact that people change. So since his beliefs is his own and he has his own rules. This company does no good and has poor customer service, at least if you as a customer did not spend big money with the sales rep then you are not getting any customer service. Hands down, they are the best, the best at being ### holes and think this business going to last for another 10 years. They are young and arrogant all of them and the managers. Don't buy from iowa steak co and go with us beef, lol really the meat is cheap and you are getting rob easy for only believing you are really saving on a grocery bill. Do the math for 52 cuts at almost 3lbs per cut. If you buy you must really be liking the sales rep. Understand that this company is a rip off
NASTY!...I went to my brothers house yesterday because he said he had a bunch of steaks he was grilling. Sweet, He didn't tell me where they were from IOWA STEAK CO... I tried to cut into it but that was a chore in itself, it was so tough. The texture is hard to explain, just gross. I've never wrote a complaint on a website, (I do read a lot of them) but after attempting to eat that poor excuse for a steak yesterday I felt compelled to today. I just hope anybody reading this doesn't make the same 300.00 mistake my brother did! Yea 300.00, My dog ate it though
That was the Michigan office he bought them at, I'm sure they're all the same but I just forgot to mention that in the comment I just posted.
The steak is really bad. So tough you can't chew it--but that may be a blessing, because the flavor is so bad. I am going to feed it to my cats--they don't seem to care whether it tastes good or not. The first ones I cooked were so tough that I couldn't get the fork tines into them to turn them over while marinating. The second ones I soaked in tenderizer for 4 hours, but they were still so tough we couldn't chew them. So sorry that we are so trusting! However, we certianly won't trust this company again.
Honestly, I have bought from them a few time in the past, and never once got the steaks that everyone on here talks about being tough. My children, who are extremely picky eaters, would eat them every night if I let them. My husband, who worked as a cook for many years, loves them as well. I just bought the chicken and the pork. They always look wonderful, and the steak is tender. My rep comes by every month to check to see if I am satisfied with my purchase and to see if I would like to purchase more. It also saves a lot of money in the long run because there will be a few months that I will not need to buy meats. It's a wonderful company and their products are wonderful as well. I buy from the Cincinnati office and I have never once had a complaint about any of it.
I got suckered into buying this meat. After the reps left I felt uneasy and researched the company. I immediatly called to cancel. No answer. Left a message... still no call back. Called again in the morning and left another message. I immediatly called my bank and put a stop payment on the check I paid with. Few hours later I got a call from the bank saying the sales rep Theresa tried to cash the check, even said she was waiting outside before they opened (and around the same time i called her). So I instantly call her again and this time she finally answers claiming she had been in eye surgery all morning and thats why she didn't return my calls. She then goes on to tell me the company will issue a refund check. No thank you. I tell her about the stop pay and she is mad of course and tells me I have to call the company to have someone pick it up. I did that and again they tell me about the refund check. I tell her nope took care of that already but thanks. My bank wouldnt even cash the check so why can't you just return it or rip it up?!? These people are nothing but thieves and liars. If you write them a check or give them your card cancel the check/card AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. They will take your money regardless so make sure you are one step ahead of them.
I purchased a couple hundred bucks worth of their steaks. Two guys were selling out of a freezer in the back of a pick-up and came door to door and sold me a package with a variety of different cuts and some beef patties. The meat wasn't pricey and the steaks weren't very good. I asked the guy what the meat grade was (choice, prime, etc.) multiple times. He said multiple times it was Choice. After getting a few steaks in, it was obvious that's not the case. Most of the meat was really tough. On a few steaks, I got a little into eating them, and tossed them out because it was a really strange consistency and I didn't trust it. Others I tended to marinade and chop up for tacos. Some were OK (and I stress, just OK), again, never really tender. I will say the "Homestyle Chopped Beef Patties" make excellent burgers cooked straight from frozen on the grill - super fatty and char up nicely. My wife and I love them. I'd almost considering buying just those in the future, but never a steak from them. I never complained or anything. The way the cost broke out it was a couple bucks a steak, and really, when you go the grocery and pay that little for a steak, it usually sucks too. And I also figured that's what I get for buying a bunch of steaks from two random guys in a truck representing a company I had never heard of before...lol.
I have purchased from Iowa Steaks for the last 4 yrs with good tasting results. Just bought $184.00 worth of meats and look forward to football grilling season.By all means wheel and deal with them. If you don't like the pricing then shoo them away ( I have before and called another only to receive a better deal ) Don't get upset as they make a living as well. call the BBA if your unhappy with the service and product.
I was concerned when a salesman approached my house, knowing that I have a big "No Soliciting" sign on my door. What kind of screening process do you have? Michigan...
Yesterday bought 8 5 ounce filets (i weighed them and they were) for $30.00 I just cooked one in the wood stove. I am very sensitive to bad meat. I am not much of a beef eater. I have to say the steak was very good for a good price.
I was working at my family business when 2 guys walked in selling "high quality" steaks. I figured I would try them out and buy the smallest package they had. I was told the smallest they had was $130, after himming and haaing, he agreed to throw in some extra steaks. When I went to pay him. I was charged an extra $30 for the steaks he was "throwing in", and $15 for tax. I ended up paying $175! When I brought the steaks home and cooked the filets, we could not eat them because they were way too tough! Filets are not supposed to be tough! I called the next morning to get my money back and was told they'd call me back. After 5 days of calling everyday, I was tired of the attitude and rudeness of their "customer service rep". I was told it was not their problem! She didn't force me to buy their steaks, and she didn't care. I have worked in the customer service industry for 8 years, and would have NEVER talked to ANYONE like that! They finally came and picked up the meat after a week of calling, but it's been a week since then and I still have not received my refund! They have not heard the last of me, I will call everyday until I get MY money back! I will get a lawyer involved if need be! BEWARE!
Absolutely disgusting. This is not quality meat. They pushed their products upon the friendliest guy we know. If we see this sales man and his driver again, they will be arrested immediately onsite.
My first experience with the Iowa Steak Company was ridiculously abusive. I heard a guy making a very hard sales pitch to my elderly neighbor next door. I did some research online - it didn't take me long to discover long lists of complaints of terrible products and terrible customer service, and an extremely poor listing with the Better Business Bureau. The word 'scam' came up repeatedly as I read through the reports. I went next door and told my neighbor that she should not buy anything from this company. The guy in mid-sale turned to me and began screaming obscenities at me, using the F word and lots of the N word (which is weird since I'm white) He got into his car which had another guy in it and they drove off, screaming at me all the time. My neighbor turned to me and said, 'Thank you!' If this *had* been a legitimate sale the salesperson would have had a reasoned response, or perhaps even some documentation to back up his claims.
The Iowa Steak Company has knocked on my door four times over the past three years. Each time I say, 'I will not buy anything from you. Your company and your product is not trustworthy.' Oddly, each salesperson seems completely used to this response.
I have a policy: do not buy anything from a cold call knocking on my door. With our current ability to check out any company's reputation and product online before buying, a door-to-door salesperson is relying solely on the element of surprise to seal a deal. Any salesperson who needs to resort to that tactic is a con artist.
Do NOT buy anything from the Iowa Steak Company.
