I'm going to start off by saying I've never had burnt ends before trying this, so I came into this very open minded and with no knowledge of what to expect. I loved these brisket burnt ends. You could smell the seasoning and tell how good it was going to taste before even opening the packaging, so I knew I was going to love it. There weren't any instructions on how to store it, whether it should be refrigerated or frozen, so I put mine in the fridge before deciding to cook it. Other than that, the instructions were very easy to follow. I just had to add a little water, separate as many of the ends as I could, and cook. I chose the oven method, and it left the meat very juicy. First, I tried it by itself, and it was very good and flavorful. However, I decided to eat mine as a sandwich with Hawaiian hamburger buns and some of the sauce that was included with a side of green beans and white mac and cheese. It was very delicious. The sauce pairs with the meat well, but is definitely not needed. This is something I plan on repurchasing in the future. I received this free product in exchange for this review.

These were amazing and super easy to prepare! I will absolutely purchase. I got these complimentary in through a sample program. It tasted like I had been cooking low and slow all day in the smoker without all the time or effort. Will purchase in the future

I have been looking at these for weeks and finally I couldn't resist any longer. It was time to let go of nearly 25 bucks for a true Kansas City taste experience (at least according to the packaging). What a disappointment! Some chunks were so tough it was like eating rubber. Maybe they somehow escaped the ten-hour pit smoking. Some chunks were actually tender and some chunks were nothing but fat that had to be spitted out. The sauce had a peculiar taste that I really cannot describe. It was not what I expect "barbeque" to taste like. This was a disappointment to say the least. For a couple of dollars more I could have bought two of the Member's Mark Extra Meaty Baby Back Pork Ribs. Now that is what I call a 5-star meat product. In the meantime I am going to see if I can get a refund on the uneaten "stuff".

I received this product as part of a free sample program, but I will definitely be purchasing this in the future. The meat was tender and moist with a great smoky flavor. It is good with or without the sauce and goes great with mac and cheese. I most certainly recommend.

I received this as part of a free sample program. It is so delicious! I made mine in the oven. The brisket aroma was so good! I had to leave it a little longer than directed to get it thoroughly heated, but the directions are quite simple. The pieces came out soft and melted in my mouth. The sauce is a traditional flavor if you want to use it for dipping, but the brisket has plenty of flavor. Members Mark Seasoned Brisket is very tasty and easy to make on a busy night.

I recently received this as a free sample. I like BBQ and when I got the opportunity to try this product I was excited! It cooked pretty easily and it was pretty tasty. I paired this with kale and potatoes. It was the right balance. This is a great way to feed a group of people. I was able to use this package for two meals between 3 people. The meat was tender and I didn't have any bad pieces! There also was a lot of sauce so if you're not a sauce person this won't be for you. I would get this again!

We smoke brisket regularly but wanted to try these to see what we might be missing. Verdict...NOTHING. Brisket tends to be a fatty piece of beef, often with a thick vein of fat running through the middle. Since it is not on the exterior you have to cook it slow and long to partially "melt" the fat throughout the meat. The pkg. we got must have missed that part of the process. Large chunks of the meat were nothing but fat with a very thin layer of meat sandwiching it. Also, the "burnt" part was missing (the area that is exposed to the most smoke and heat resulting in a black appearance.) Will be returning it!

I was pleasantly surprised by the taste and texture of the Member's Mark brisket burnt ends. Just like going to a local BBQ restaurant joint, but less expensive than taking the whole family. The meat can be heated up quickly in a microwave. I chose to cook it in the oven to get a more crisper texture. I would recommend shredding it after cooking with some meat shredder claws. I read some reviews that said the BBQ sauce that comes superate is very sweet. I agree that it is a sweeter BBQ sauce. I like it, I also don't drown my meat in BBQ. I would recommend drizzling a little on the meat. We are it on a bun with dill pickles. Balances the sweet. The teenagers and husband enjoyed it. We will definitely buy this again for future quick meals. Highly recommend!

I received this product as part of a free sample program and I am so happy that I did! These burnt ends are absolutely delicious. They exceeded my expectations and I will buy them again. There are several different qualities that I like about this barbeque: First, there is a generous helping of beef. My husband and I were able to make sandwiches and still had leftovers for the next day. Second, the seasoning is perfection. We tried the beef with and without the provided sauce and it was delicious both ways. In fact, I might recommend going easy on the sauce so you can capture all the flavors. Third, it is easy to prepare and reheat. Lastly, and most importantly, the slow cook method is so good. The meat is very tender and savory! Give it a try, I think you will be surprised.

I received the Member's Mark Kansas City Style Beef Brisket Burnt Ends for free for my review. I served them at a Labor Day party. They were fast and very easy to make (only 2-3 in the microwave). That was the recommended method to heat up. They did have good flavor but I thought they were a tab bit salty. The BBQ sauce they came with was really good. The only negative thing I have to say is they were pretty fatty.
