What if your Steak of the Month Club could make it so you never had to go to the grocery store for meat - ever? That's what Good Chop wants to do for you. This membership program delivers every four weeks: either 36 or 72 portions ranging from steaks and ground beef to other meats like chicken breast and pulled pork. All of the meat on offer here is sourced solely in the United States.

How much meat do you want?

To get started with Good Chop, you first indicate whether you'd like a Medium Box or a Large Box. There's no difference between the two other than size: the Medium lets you choose six different types of meat for a total of about 36 portions, while the Large gives you twelve meat choices and up to 72 portions. You'll pay $149 for each Medium box and $269 for each Large. During our most recent visit to Good Chop, there was an $80 discount available - spread out over the first three monthly deliveries - so be on the lookout for any promos that might be in effect when you're ready to order.

Steaks come every four weeks, free delivery

You'll never pay extra for shipping on your monthly steak delivery. You can also pause your subscription or skip months whenever you like, but keep in mind that your next shipment won't happen for another four weeks. Your Good Chop steaks and other products should arrive perfectly frozen and can safely be stored in your freezer for up to a year from the delivery date.

Can't gift this club

If you're looking to give a Steak of the Month Club as a gift, Good Chop really isn't the best choice. Yes, you can include a gift message during checkout in the comment section of the checkout, and that's about it. But, you're left in charge of the membership: your recipient would have to go through you to change their order, pause their deliveries, or skip a month. That's fine if it's someone you live with, but an employee? Maybe not. You can't even buy gift certificates or gift cards here.

Not a lot of customer comments

Because Good Chop is so new to the business, shopper feedback isn't exactly plentiful. There's no BBB listing we could find, and even the company's social media channels didn't have much new content in the months prior to this evaluation. (We did get a hold of someone at their customer service toll-free number, though, so Good Chop is still in business.) There are a few unboxing videos around the internet, but we all know there's typically an incentive involved there and may not be the most objective reviews.

Complaints on their social media page

Unfortunately, right in the comments on Good Chop's social media posts are a fair number of complaints from customers saying that deliveries often contained meat that was partially defrosted or even spoiled. True, this retailer has a 100% satisfaction guarantee, but it's better to get it right instead of having to offer refunds - and they don't seem to be accomplishing that yet.

Has room for improvement

Good Chop's premise is solid: why spend time and money going to the store for your steaks and other meats if it can come right to you? It's too soon, though, to see if they're going to consistently deliver steaks and other meats in perfect condition. We're optimistic that, over time, Good Chop will get things figured out and that those improvements will be reflected in their customers' comments. Until then, we recommend that you look at a higher-ranked company for your Steak of the Month Club.
