  Very good people. Very great products. They still do their sales receipts manually using a calculator, so honest mistakes sometimes happen. But I highly recommend this place.

  Ordered 3 whole briskets. Package came out at 54.6lbs. Each untrimmed "brisket" had approximately 5lbs of unusable skirt attached. I expected about 36lbs of brisket, but was also sold 15lbs of unusable meat that was NOT part of the brisket. Do you dump your junk cuts off on everyone who makes a $300 order? You've been in business for 40 years- trim the meat properly or price it accordingly and at least inform the customer beforehand. I wasn't prepared to argue over what is and is not skirt or brisket, but you get the idea. This was a real pain to deal with- by the time the briskets had been trimmed appropriately, the yield before cooking puts the price per kilo of actual brisket right back at almost double the sale price, and post-cooking yield was 45% net weight. This being said- once trimmed, the brisket meat came out very well with good marbling, tenderness and moisture content, so in this respect it was okay, but the lesson here is although the price per pound was low, by the time the meat is trimmed to be cooked that price per pound will be approximately double.
