I attempted to work here years ago. I worked for one day, a 9 hour shift. I was sexually harassed by one of the managers the entire shift. I decided I wasn't going to work there and asked for my $60 for that 9hr shift and they refused because they have you sign a contract saying you will get paid after working 60 days. I told corporate and never got an answer back. read more

Oh my God...RUN!!!! I spent $300 thinking this was a great deal to fill my freezer. Instant regret. I'd sooner lift a toilet seat, then eat any of the meats... I have tried to stomach it and deal with the leathery seniority product, but I got sick for the second time today. I actually think it's E. coli but I'm not sure. (cooked hamburger patties). throwing it all away. read more

This is some of the worst quality in meat that I have ever tried to eat. The chicken is probably the "best" of the worst. The seasoning is pretty much glued to the meat, so good luck getting it off of you do not like it. The beef is so tough it almost impossible to chew. Cook it however you want, it still tastes awful. Didn't purchase seafood, but I can only imagine the possible outcome. The salesmen are great salesmen, not great men. They will lie and bully you into feeling like you owe them a purchase. Like they went out of their way to get you this great meat paste. They almost will not take no for an answer. If they show up at your door, stay strong and tell them to please step off of your property. If they show up at my door again, I will not be as nice. read more

Capital Meats - Chicken with lemon herb spice - Meat Shops Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

*SCAM* - Rancid meat for an inflated price! A man in a white truck with a freezer in the back came to our door and tried to sell us meat. My husband thought it was a great deal and grabbed his wallet. While they were talking I googled "door-to-door meat salesmen" and found it was a common scam where they attempt to sell you bad cuts that are often rancid for a highly inflated price. My husband actually handed over his card for $549 for three boxes of meat. Luckily our bank flagged it as fraud and sent a text to confirm. My husband was going to clear the transaction but I stopped him and explained the scam. While my husband called the bank I went and snatched my husband's card back and told the guy we were no longer interested. Narrowly escaped this one. I hope this review saves someone else from the same fate. read more

Pros: it's a decent amount of meat for the money, the fact that it's frozen saved quite a few trips to the grocery store Cons: the salesmen/company lied through his teeth: sold us "chicken breasts" that were actually tenderloins, sold us "t bone steaks" that were actually PORK (thank goodness we're not keeping halal or kosher), and sold us "filet mignons" that were sirloins. Also the quality of the meat is not good. Advice to others: just go to the grocery store. read more

Bought from them in 2016. Meat is ok but you can get better from a food store. Also their sales people pop up from nowhere and are way too pushy. read more

I wish you could give zero stars! I had a friend that worked for this company. The meat is wholesaled from outside the US, which then they sell it to you fine working people, The meat is old an comes from sick animals. You couldn't give me this meat for free! Please be aware of this scam read more

If I could give less than one star I would. They came in our hair salon and just started unpacking meat all over the place! While we were cutting hair! They did not take the hint that nobody was interested and was extremely pushy and rude! We were all in disbelief! I then the guy stormed out because we weren't buying his nasty hairy floor meat! I feel bad for the person who gets tricked into buying that garbage. read more

Capital Meats - Meat Shops Near Me - Fredericksburg, Virginia

If I could give less than a 1 I would! We live in Manassas Park and kid you not they sit at the top of the street as troll for cars coming in and out. I have had more than 4 experience with the rudeness and flat out lies from this company! My other half got cornered after I flat out sad no and to leave my property. He caved and bought 4 filet mignon and some steaks. When the filet mignon defrosted, immediately you could smell that the meat was bad and it was still in the package. It clearly had dye in the package to cover the color of the actual meat. What makes me mad is these gentleman pray on people and could really make people sick! The FDA should pull all of the meat from this place and test it. Hope this helps others to not get ripped off. Tell them to get off your property and call police if need be. read more

I've dealt with other door-to-door meat sales companies before and gotten a great product. Capital Meats is NOT one of those companies. Foremost, all of their quality promises are straight-up lies. The meat shrinks to half its starting size when cooked, is tough no matter how you cook it, and completely lacks flavor. Accidentally chewing the gristle on the steaks has to be a form of torture under the Geneva Convention, and yet some of the steaks are more gristle than meat. I'm beginning to suspect it's actually rubber. Second, the salesmen are horrible, inconsiderate weasels. Pushy, rude, and so self-centered that it hurts. The latest one I encountered was in another area, and this guy was a real piece of work. He tried to guilt trip me about his wife and kid at home, and when I mentioned being on vacation in an attempt to be friendly, he had the nerve to snark about how he never gets vacation. He was angry that I didn't buy as much as he was trying to push on me, and his tone implied that he thought I was an entitled harpy. By the end of our exchange, he had become downright rude and bordered on nasty. Had he not offered me such a good deal on the meat (big mistake that was), I would have had some choice words for him. In hindsight, I regret giving him the sale more for his attitude than the quality of the meat. My advice? Turn them away. Always. No matter what. If they keep coming back over and over, tell them that they next time they show up, you'll file a harassment complaint. I hope these people go out of business. read more

These people are creepy. Last fall they interruped me in my backyard (which is fenced) while I was using my weedeater and basically forced me to my front yard where their truck was and another guy was bringing out cases of meat to me. I was really freaked out that it was a baiting scam and some dude was ransacking my house...that didn't happen but I was weirded out over the possibility. After telling me about the huge discount and then telling me that the box of meat was $500, I told them that $500 was basically my monthly food budget and that I wasn't going to waste it on meat, since I purchase my meat from Omaha Steaks. Then the guy holding the meat boxes got an attitude and stormed off to the van. Then, the 2nd time was yesterday, where again I was in the yard and he came up to my garage and asked me if I lived there and was in charge. He then proceeded to give me the "my boss told me I could sell this at cost today" speech. So, I nipped it in the bud and told him that I purchase my meat from Omaha (which is awesome). This guy then asked if any of my neighbors would be interested...uhhh NO! Even if they were the nicest, clean shaven looking guys around town, I would never, ever buy meat from the back of a van! read more

Terrible!! When these scammers came to the door they use every slimy sales technique in the book. We finally bought a couple boxes to try just in case it was actually a good deal - knowing that if it's too good to be true it is. The meat is TERRIBLE...I mean it is literally the worst meat I have ever tasted. After it was defrosted it turned a horrible brown color so we know it wasn't fresh. I've never had a steak look like that. Stupid me cooked and ate it anyway - and the steak shrunk to about 1/2 the size. It ruined the meal. It is tasteless and a consistency I have never experienced before. Terrible company who clearly cannot sell their unimaginably sub par product in a legitimate way. You would get a better steak at Denny's that you can buy from these scammers. STAY AWAY!!! If you see them on your street close and lock all of your doors right away. They are unethical salespeople pushing a HORRIBLE product. Terrible...just terrible!!!! read more

Beware! If there was a zero rating, this would be what I wouldselect. My Christmas dinner with my family was ruined. The sirloin filets were so fatty and flavorless but out of respect my family tried to eat this rancid meat but after a few cuts of trying to get a good bite and failing, I told my family not to worry about trying to eat it and I told them how sorry I was for cooking such an awful meal for their Christmas Dinner. I tried calling the numbers listed on the paperwork for the company explaining to them what had happened and I requested a refund of $350 and for them to pick up the rest of the meat that I want gone from my freezer. I got NO answer when I called and I requested a call back and I have yet to here anything from these people. I will call everyday until I get a reply and a refund read more

Bad....simply bad. Pushy sales pitches at your front door. Makes you soooo uncomfortable. I've tried the meat. I think it was cow? Odd flavor and I know it's old Holstein/dairy cows on the way to the glue factory. Maybe ok as hamburger, but should not be sold as prime cuts. Beware read more

The worst experience the meats were so tough, don't waist your money the quality is so bad you cannot compare to anything. The steaks are thin and tough, so was the pork, the only thing so far the chicken is decent. Jere Wright read more

On their website they say that they have a 97% approval rating. However, the product that they sell is the worst meat I have ever purchased either at a store or a restaurant. I thought I would give them a try but I made the mistake about not researching them when the sales person showed up on my doorstep. I ignorantly thought that Capital Meats was local version of Omaha Steaks. In all reality it's a terrible knock off of a leather boot Factory, which was the consistency of the steak that I purchased. Simply put, buyer beware and stay as far away from this company as possible. The food is terrible and the customer service is even worse. read more

I've had some really bad Meat before but this Company takes top honors for the worse Meat ever. A salesman came around in a Van with the name Capital Meats on the side and walked up to my Front Deck and started selling me on his Meat's claiming his Meat was top of the line and very inexpensive so I listened to him ramble on. He starts opening up Boxes with Tee bone steaks, Filets, Rib Eye's, Burger's and such and at the time they really looked pretty damn good so he tells me I can buy 8 boxes of different types of meat for like $300 or so Dollars and I was like well damn dude I don't have that kind of Money so he says well I tell you what I'll give you all 8 for $150 and you can choose what ever combination you want. Sounded great to me so I ran into the house to get the cash and paid him. It wasn't till the next night when i got home for dinner and stuck them Bad Boys on My grill that I seen how small they were now that they were no longer frozen. Omg they looked like something you feed your child, had to be about 6 ounces. The web site is selling 4 tee bone steaks for $100.00 so after seeing that number I thought I was getting a great deal but come to find out they are only really about 6 ounces it's a sham. Worse Meat I ever bit into, nothing but Fat. Don't waste your money on this company they are scammer's. read more

SCAM!!! DO NOT BUY!! (Would give negative stars if allowed) I hate to admit I fell victim to these lying, pushy salesmen, who told me the date on the package was the date of the day it was packaged. I don't know why I believed him, but I ended up with $80 of expired steak (if that's what you want to call it). The date is from 9 months ago. I started cooking it, and out of the package, I noticed a strange odor that was unpleasant, but not quite "spoiled" smell. I started cooking it, and the odor intensified to what can only be described as a body odor essence mixed with unwashed feet. It was disturbing, and I was alarmed. I tasted a small piece and realized that I have been duped. This is garbage, and that's exactly where it belongs. Luckily, I post-dated my check, and I will be stopping payment first thing in the morning. I am angry. I am angry I let thus person into my home, let him tell me lies, then not only did I give into the pressure, but I actually cooked and ate this expired meat. My husband ate about a quarter, then started feeling ill. This man drove up in a pick up with a chest freezer in his trunk, and a Capital Meats magnet on the door. He put several boxes of meat on my living room floor, my dog was front and center sniffing around the packaging, to which he said nothing. Gross. I don't know what I was thinking, but please learn from my experience and stay far away from this company, and their sales team. read more

Hopefully you will look into these reviews before they get you!! The driver, Drew, not only came at a terrible time during dinner with 3 children, he was very pushy and was not experienced. He sold my husband, let me be clear, on sirloins and filet. Drew made his own deal and accepted cash. We were advised of a satisfaction guaranteed, as he would totally reimburse the money otherwise. As I expected. TERRIBLE products. Very fatty. Just bad. The steak, etc. which I buy from Giant is much, much better (no comparison). We tried cooking it different ways (and as recommended), same results.. terrible. So of course I did what Drew told me to do, I called him. As expected.. totally rude. Told me to call the 1800 # on my receipt. Lets see if I ever get my money back.. read more

Terrible company and meat. They wont follow up, matter fact, they dont even answer their 800 phone number. Had a salesman come door to door, think he switched out meat, wouldnt leave me boxes or anything. Got freezer full of frostbitten meat, which they guarantee against,but cant get a return call over a 4 month period. Gor a customer service agent one time,she gave me a managers number who we spoke to,Stephen somehting, and he said he would be here on Wednesday, no show, no call, nothing. AVOID TIHIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS.....huge rip off. read more

A capital meats van pulled into my neighborhood earlier this week and I was honestly surprised I had never seen one before. I was immediately impressed by the professional image they gave off, right off the bat. The salesmen were extremely respectful, patient, and kind, and their service was quick and convenient. Not once did I feel pressured or harassed like I would with normal door to door salesmen. On top of that, the product was INCREDIBLE. I bought multiple boxes and have already gone through most of them! The chicken was outstanding, and the beef had little to no gristle whatsoever. I'll definitely be buying from them again. read more

I wish I could give this a negative mark. This is the absolute WORST meat I've ever had. I bought some last year & forgot to write a review. They just came by again & I told the guy ABSOLUTELY NOT. Told him it was the worst meat I've ever TRIED to eat & to NEVER come to my doorstep again. This meat was terrible. My husband & I couldn't eat it. Even the filet minon was HORRIBLE. I ended up giving it to a friend of mine that has a dog. Told her she was welcome to try it herself which she did & ended up giving it to her dog. Even the chicken was terrible. The pieces were so small I had to use half of what I bought for 1 meal plus it was full of fat. GROSS. DO NOT BUY THIS MEAT. NASTY NASTY NASTY!!! The steaks were stringy & no matter what I did I couldn't get them tender. Such a waste of money. DON'T DO IT!! read more

This is a salesman that goes door to door using a non refrigerated van selling meats at a supposed discount in Alexandria VA under the name "Certified Meats inc" same products as "Capital meats". Salesman is a true con artist with amazing stories of Butchers buying his products, he says never to thaw any of the products as they can be cooked from frozen state. He will take cash and if pay by check will (and did for us) rush to bank without delay (he did so for us) leaving us with a hand receipt he almost conveniently forgot to leave and when did without his name or signature charging us 5% tax which is not reflected in receipt, guy lives in Bethesda MD supposedly and does very good business as he has many sales people working door to door under him. I have video and pictures of this salesman that I cannot post but its one of those white cargo vans with magnetic signs on the front doors. We were ripped off by over $500. We have contacted him and asked he return to take the meat back and refund us the cash he so quickly withdrew, because we did request it within the 72 hrs he is mandated by law so we will see, more to follow. read more

Came to my door, rang the bell, and asked me if I was a teacher or a Senator. Very creepy and pushy. Allowed my dog to sniff the meat which they then packed up to move on to the next victim. read more

Do not purchase any products from this company. They lie about their return policies and the meat is substandard. They never answer their own customer service 1-800 line published in sales material. read more

Please don't make the mistake of buying!!! This is a major scam, I wish I hadn't wasted money on. The sales people flat out lie to you to make a sale. The "premium beef" they said they were delivering was not what they actually ended up bringing into my house. I thought I could use the hamburger patties as ground beef for tacos or spaghetti. They told me they were so great and what the restaurants used but now I know that they are large patties because they are 50% fat!!! So disgusting! Even after draining off the fat the taste of the meat was so terrible I couldn't use it in anything. The steaks were so chewey and stringy they are inedible. The chicken is so over marinated that when you cook it you can't even see when it's done cooking because it's so stained. The seafood has been the most disgusting shrimp and calamari I have ever tasted and has to all be thrown out. Such a waste of money and a disappointment. The vacuum seal released within days! There were so many holes in the packaging it was ridiculous. This is fraud what they are doing to families. They are going out and robbing these innocent families of their food money using lies. DON'T FALL FOR THEIR SCAMS!!! They should be reported and put out of business. read more

Purchased meat and shrimp them, big mistake, don't ever buy from them, the gristle and fat I had to trim from the ribeye steaks, unbelievable, and the package of shrimp was a mix of pink and tiger, and three different sizes, never again, steer clear!! read more

See all

These guys came around our neighborhood claiming that another customer had bounced a check on a large order and they were going door to door to sell off the items in the order for cash to minimize their losses. They would not produce company IDs or business cards. They only documentation they had was one very well-worn brochure. The whole thing was very fishy (no pun intended), and who knows if the food products are even safe? I am pretty sure the USDA would have a cow (OK...pun intended) if they knew this was going on. read more

I'm not sure that my 1-star review is even necessary in a sea of other 1-star reviews for this scam of a company. One of their drivers was behind me on the road and unhappy that I tried to allow someone else to get ahead of me into traffic, so he pulled up alongside me to holler repeatedly that I was a "f***ing idiot!" and a "f***ing slut!" Seriously? This is how their employee chooses to behave at all, let alone when he knows full well how blatantly he is representing his company? I attempted to contact a manager by both phone and email, allowed ample time for a response to my complaint, and have received no apology or even acknowledgment. For what it's worth, they don't seem too bothered when their employees fail to act with even the most basic level of decency. If I were you, I'd steer clear - literally - of these scumbags. read more

Was approached by one of their vans while I was doing my job, walking dogs. Some people don't like being approached by strange vans in an unfamiliar neighborhood. Then pressure (pressure is an understatement) me to buy $100+ worth of meat?? Get some better marketing techniques. It was incredibly uncomfortable and borderline harassment. read more

I'm always up for a deal, so I made one and in the end I still got shafted. For one I realized the box should have came with 6 pieces instead of 4 then I read the label and found out that it's been soaked in salt. Just avoid these people, and this place. read more

Has anyone writing a review even tried their meat? I chatted with them for a bit to find out more about the meat and their company. I bought a box from them in the past to check it out and I wan't disappointed so when they came back 5 months later I was pretty interested. All meats are USDA inspected and approved. The beef is from grass fed cows in Illinois. Chicken box is full of breasts prepared in 4 or 5 different "Rachael Ray" seasonings along with a bag of tenders. Seafood is this and that from different national and international regions. To me the meat is good, but freshness goes away after a few months. It's guaranteed for 12 months so if anything happens, like freezer burn or unsealed bag, call the guy who came to your house and they will swap it out with a fresh box. They don't have anything with them because they're not door salesman. It is a little sketchy and they are a bit forward with their sales tactics but it's a legit business that does most of their transactions over the internet. I bought a pretty large order because the price was right (you can usually get the to drop the price) and it seemed pretty convenient since everything is vacuum sealed and flash frozen. If I want steak for dinner I drop a few in the fridge for tomorrow and let them thaw overnight. You can't beat a $3 steak. read more

OMG. Never ever buy from this company. I got ripped off. The meat is disgusting. I'm telling you straight up.....AVOID!!!!! I threw every damn piece away. It was old meat and absolutely horrible. I would give this a minus zillion!! read more

Here's a hint: stop harassing people! I will NEVER patronize this business. You can't go down a street and park your van and incessantly ring people's doorbells and knock loudly and then come back a few minutes later if they don't answer! Nobody owes you a conversation! Hey, you're on MY stoop and you need to go away. I had better decorum when I was 8 years old selling fund-raiser candy! read more

This company is a total scam. Do not buy from their extremely creepy and pushy sales staff. Tell them you are vegetarian and to get off your property or you'll call the authorities. read more

They came today claiming they had a large order of meat that someone was supposed to buy but didn't. I didn't "buy" the guys scam for one second. I mean, who in the heck buys meat out of the back of a van? Get real! read more

Apparently Capital Meats has their independent sales people memorize a script. They come to your house late at night saying they were making a delivery in the area and stopped by to get rid of some of the leftover meat on their truck, which is bull. Then they proceed to drag out every box of meat from the truck, making it harder to say no and get rid of them. I was not prepared to spend over $350 on meat that day, including $12 for check verification (another line of bull), but I couldn't get rid of the guy. Both my husband and I experience negative physical reactions from their hamburgers, which were extremely greasy. I want to return it all, but I know the salesman, who was obviously a liar and very manipulative, will try to talk me out of it (already happened once when I complained to him about the package leaking all over the place when I was defrosting it in the refrigerator.) Not good meat, and very expensive. read more

Seems like the branch that services this area is closed down but i can only assume this company follows the same business plan. I can attest to the pushy sales techniques of this company. They also seemingly have no regard for "no trespassing" signs posted on private property. They like to overwhelm and bombard people into making their sales and before you know it, you're purchasing some product. Why or how this is an allowable form of business that borders on harassment is beyond me. This is a dog and pony show at best and borderline illegal at worst. We have contacted the BBB about these people and they were all too aware of this company. read more

On at least three occasions in the past few years I have been approached by people in Capital Meats vans. Each time I have been minding my own business, hanging out in the yard of my home. On every occasion I have found them to be very pushy. I always tell them immediately after being approached that I am not interested in what they are selling, and each time they start right into a hard sell anyway, continuing to address me, asking me questions like "where do you get your meat?", telling me that they're meat is really good, telling me that they have great deals. In every instance they don't stop talking to me even after I've told them that I am not interested. Yesterday, this annoying treatment was further accompanied by sexual harassment from someone inside of a Capital Meats van. I think CM's method of trying to find customers is very poor. Further, I don't eat much meat, but when I do I only eat organic from highly trusted sources. I would never buy meat from a company who presents itself this way. read more

So disappointing. We placed an order with a door-to-door rep because we really dislike shopping, and well, he was there. Buying meat off guys in a truck is probably a red flag, but lets look past that for now. Bought two cases of beef and one of chicken. The chicken was actually decent - it was always moist, unnaturally plump, the kids loved the tenders, and the seasoned ones were very flavorful (tho sometimes over-seasoned). The steaks, however, were low quality, tough, and chewy. We had to turn most of it into ground beef just to get through it all. read more
