I purchased an almost 4lb package and ended up with 1.4 lbs final weight following package directions exactly. So I just paid $22/lb for meat I had to go cook myself. Oh and it is really salty, fatty and dry. This is more expensive than just buying a sandwich out.

This was the worst corned beef I've ever cooked. No matter which way I sliced it it was incredibly tough! I've been making corned beef for 40+ years so I know what I'm doing. In addition to the toughness, about 1/3 of it turned out to be fat. Usually on a flat cut the only fat is what you could see on the top of thr roast. There was a lage amount of hidden fat on this roast! I don't know if Sam's has switched brands or not but, I've always been able to buy great corned beef there in addition to other great meat. No more of Goebbel's for me!!

I recently bought a corned beef brisket from my local Sam's. After cooking according to instructions, I let it cool so it could be sliced for sandwiches. I planned to have some of the brisket for dinner and have enough leftover for sandwiches. I had enough brisket for two sandwiches and about 4 ounces leftover - not even close to enough for dinner. The total yield out of this brisket was about one pound of cooked meat - and the rest was fat and packing liquid. I had to discard at least a pound of fat after cooking. We're not talking about a little marbling or normal fat - we are talking about huge slabs of fat that were greater than the amount of meat. I don't know what is meant by hand trimmed - but this amount of fat is completely unacceptable.

I’ve had this many times before. I bought his at sams 2 days ago. It had a strange shape when I took it out of the package. It was all irregular and had a thick layer of fat running through the middle of it. I cooked this in the crockpot on high for 4 hours. however it was tough and grisly. Every other time I’ve cooked meat in the cockpit on high for four hours it has come out very tender. quality this year is inferior to prior years.

When we finished our corn beef and cabbage dinner I had to get the packaging out of the trash so I could remember to buy this very same corned beef next time we go to Sam's. It was by far the best that we have ever had. So tender and delicious. Can't wait to fix ruebens with the left overs.

Searched through the entire selection at my local Sam's Club as I needed a bigger one for the gathering I scheduled. Found one a tad over 4%23. I go to prepare it, and upon opening up the package I discover that the cut looks to be a mix of the point cut and flat cut... the grain of the meat was in 2 different directions, like right where the point overlaps the flat, so there were 2 large fat portions in the package. My 4%23 corned beef turned into 3.5%23 corned beef instead... 🤨 The flavor was good, and I'd probably buy it again in the future, BUT I'm going to be carefully inspecting them prior to buying one in the future.

This corned beef is awesome. Nothing like what they sell in the grocery store that looks like a pork butt. This is a FLAT, I don't have to wait till March to buy it. This is sooo good. I normally buy 3 a month. This is the Best cut of Corned Beef you can buy. It has a slim layer of fat on top, for flavor & cooking, Don't forget to add the seasoning packet. It melts in your mouth, with goodness.

My wife and I have been purchasing Grobbel's corned beef for almost 30 years. From 30 years ago to now the size of the corned beef has shrunk by 2/3rds so take 3 separate packages put them together that's the size they use to be. About 20yrs ago they started injecting the meat with water so they shrink by a considerable amount. This year we put 3 in a roaster with 1" of water. Wife tell me after 3hrs of cooking to check the water level. The water level was almost to the top of the roaster. Of the 3 corned beef: 1st not bad, 2nd lots of fat and marbling throughout, 3rd all fat no meat. The only fat on corned beef is the fat cap, the meat should be red and zero fat. Will never ever buy from this company ever again. Very sad

I picked up two of these this past week and cooked them today. Immediately upon opening them, I realized this was a bad purchase. Both of them were mostly fat; I understand they are briskets and typically have quite a bit of fat, but these were incredibly fatty with very little meat. So disappointed to pay for "Gourmet" and get "Garbage."

This is absolutely horrible. One of the only reasons I stay as a member at Sams is for the meat. The beef in general has been very disappointing and this corned beef is almost inedible! The taste is like chemicals and it's all water. No picked taste at all. They should be ashamed to sell this as their meat has been their shining star.
