Anyone ordered from Omaha Steaks?
« on: December 15, 2008, 01:48:29 PM »
It appears that my Mom will be spending Christmas alone.  DH and I have offered to fly her over but she declined the offer. 
Anyway, I want to send her something nice food wise that she can have for her Christmas meal.  I'm looking at Omaha Steaks website-while I have heard good things about them I have never had any dealings with them.  Does anyone have an opinion on them?
I'm also open to other suggestions for another company that delivers. 
Thanks

I've gotten a few things from the before.  Their meats and potatoes are excellent (but sometimes small).  They have good burger patties as well.

I have, but the portions are tiny (contrary to how they appear in print and online). If it were for taste and quality alone, ok. But you can hardly make a meal of any cut they sell.

I have ordered from them before.
I would agree and say that objects in the photo may appear smaller than they are.
If the choice is available I would suggest getting in contact with a nearby grocer or butcher as most supermarkets and butcher deliver now a days.
Ordering from them might be cheaper and you might get in touch with someone who cares more about good quality for a low price.  That way you can get her more! :)

I'm a vegetarian, so I should probably keep my nose out of this, BUT my dad was just talking about some filet minon and something else that he sent to a friend of his and he loves the stuff and uses them all the time.

Those do look good.  Be sure that they make the steak with the potatoes and veg, then add another side (like garlic bread) to make it a filling meal.

An ex-bf's parents used to order stuff from them by the truckload. Their steaks are really good (and I normally hate steak), but they are quite small (maybe 6 oz.?) compared to what most people are used to. I'm not a big meat eater so I thought it was perfect for me.

Thanks everyone, for their replies.  I will look at the local grocery stores to see if they deliver-there was a butcher when I used to live in the area, but that is going back a few years.  She is on a limited income, so it may be better for me to purchase a weeks worth of groceries for her instead.  She has someone take her to the grocery so it would give them a break as well.   :)
But don't those steaks on the website look yummy!!

That sounds like a great idea!!!
And, yeah, those steaks look amazing.  I sometimes feel I will never have a steak like that again until I go back to Texas.... *sigh*
