Hi
Ive been ordering from Omaha for 10 years now and everything is always Good.

It's a great special, I also had bought that special a few times but I don't like the Franks, I'm use to Nathans so its hard to eat the Gourmet Franks, they just are made with less fat I guess but personally I think they just don't have much of a taste........everything else is GREAT....the prices are also GREAT when they run specials.

I order most of the time when they run specials because you really do save. The Gifts are not bad either but, they always
show the same gifts, I would like something different for a change.....lol

I get emails sent to me when they run specials and sometimes I don't even want to open the email ......lmao......because I know I will order and it does become expensive when ordering too often.

It's times like this I wish I had room in my freezer.
Don't have a separate one, just the one with the frig.

I think a Gourmet Frank is just a weiner with less lips and other parts than a normal weiner, more real meat.

I have never ordered by mail but I get the fliers and buy at a local Omaha Steaks store. They have the bundle deals in the store too but I like the "buy one get one" and the specials on specific items. I keep several kinds of steaks, burgers, and tenderloin tips in my freezer. They have a frequent shopper card that gets stamped with each purchase and then you get a free item after a certain number of stamps.

Never paid full price for any thing I bought there but having them in the freezer has saved me a lot of trips to the market. My husband's car is in the shop and he took mine so I could not go shopping today. Pulled out some Omaha Steaks ground beef patties and made hamburgers. Saved the day.

Question: what's a Nathans?

My DH son used to sell meat from the back of the truck (well they had a freezer and all). He gave us a bunch one time and it was yucky - didn't taste like meat at all. It looks a lot like what you can buy in Walmart that's prepacked whatever.

I've never tried Omaha though so I don't know if there's any difference.

Although this probably would make a great gift for somebody.

Chuckle, you have it so easy! If I want really fresh beef I'd have to pop out to our family farm and slaughter it myself, or ask my brother to bring home a chunk from his work at the export slaughter house. (I worked there as a teen and made enough in the holidays to put me through university.) The kids all know where beef comes from too - the paddock at the farm, then straight into our huge freezer in the garage.

I raise my own beef also, so can't directly comment, but I'm wondering, have any of you figured out the per pound price of these "specials"?

I've noticed that many of these high end packaged meat companies like to stress the number of steaks rather than the total weight. Seems kinda deceptive to me.

We had a Schwann's delivery guy come all the way out to the ranch one time looking for business. I was laughing so hard at his "convenient" individually frozen chicken breasts at 9 bucks a pound that I could hardly get out the words inviting him to get the hell off my property.

I was the recipient of Pixiamom's gift and I have to say that the steaks were EXCELLENT! Much better than the "No Name" frozen steaks you buy at the super market - heck! they were better than the FRESH steaks at the butcher. I should add that Pixiamom and I were raised mostly in Nebraska so that might have something to do with my preferences.

Yeah, I'm sorry but I'm a "fresh meat" person to. If I run low on beef I go out back, shoot the sellected victim and butcher it myself. Walla, instant full freezer of fresh meat cut just the way I want it. If I want pork I ask my neighbor to slaughter one of his and pay him, he's a pig farmer. If I want chicken or egg's I go down the road about a 1/4 mile and get them from another farm. Nothing like fresh meat and egg's. Beat's the store bought stuff everytime. My own cattle are grain feed and I have yet to find a prepackaged seller that can match the quality or the cost per pound. I don't think I have bought meat in a store in over 10 years and I don't plan on starting to again any time soon.

Those of us that live in the rest of the US (farm country) know good beef and we always get it very easily and inexpensive. Myself I like our pure fed Angus. Nothing is better and after my wifes cousin delivers it to my good friend who owns a slaughter house we split it up with a couple of the in laws and have ourselves the best beef that there is sitting in our freezer. Even the chuck is incredibly tender and it all costs us a lot less per pound than the price of ground beef on sale at the local grocery store. Love it!

Nathan's Famous". Is a well known Frank (Hot Dog) fast food Restaurant that first became famous in Coney Island Amusement Park in Brooklyn New York, back in the 1930s & up till Now?
You would get a hot dog and walk down the boardwalk over looking the beautiful white sand beach and rolling waves, the waters were ruff but there was no better place as a child to have fun.

Nathan's has opened chain stores all over the New York area now but back in the days of the 1950s if you came to Brooklyn you had to have a Nathan Famous Frank, they were very long and skinny and the best taste ever, and still till today they are very well known here in New York.

Any Child that grew up in New York area there big dream was to go to Coney Island Amusement Park, not only for the spectacular Rides like the Cyclone, Parachute jump and Steeplechase Park & the many different side walk stands,..........They had to have a "Nathan's Famous FRANK".........Memories, they are Great!!

Here is a picture I took from an ebay auction is Nathans

glass grl we have sent my parents the bundles for Christmas for years. They love them and say they are the best steaks they have ever had. The service is also excellant. The only thing I don't like at all is that they send me emails all the blinking time... even though I have written and kindly asked... not to. I will call you when I need you don't call or write to me. Other than that they are a very reputiable co. OH we get packages that we can select special things to add to... the "franks" which my parents love any way... they really like these. I have no personal experience with the products but as a gift they sure work for me.

No, not that Frank.

A Gourmet Frank is an oxymoron Frank.

glassgrl At Coney Island Nathan's hotdogs are delicious. Maybe it's because they are cooked in beer.
They are also sold packaged in supermarkets.

I've tried Omaha a couple of times. Both times found it just ok. You can do better quality wise and price wise at your local grocer. And even with the special, you're basically paying $17 a pound for steaks and burgers when you figure in the shipping. The fish is worthless. The potatoes too. The only item really worthwhile is the filet. The rest are too small. A 3 oz. portion of fish? A 5 oz. strip steak? I'm not a big eater but these portion sizes are too small and don't cook properly.
