We appreciate having fresh delivered options, however, oftentimes the meals are not the quality we expect. Vegetables are not trimmed (green beans end up with woody stems or are petty, “roasted broccoli” is unattractive. It looks old, not vibrant.) We regularly don’t eat them. So, we pay for waste. Also some dishes are overly salty, like the blackened chicken, so was not edible. Also, sauces are inconsistently provided. Sometimes we are generously provided with a cup, other times, it’s only added to the dish, so lacking. Salads often haven’t been fresh, so we stopped ordering those. Also, dishes where hot/cold items co-exist, they should be separated. Who wants to warm their Mediterranean meal and have hot cucumbers and sauce? We are down to a narrow list we halfway eat, and so order less and less often. We used to be weekly fans, but not anymore.

I love a lot of these meals but I really hate the packaging it comes in. I wish there was an actual lid and I wish they would separate out more than just the sauce. For example, the buffalo chicken sweet potato bowl has coleslaw in it and it's already mixed in so I had to heat up the coleslaw with the chicken. I think some small changes would make them even better.

The Breakfast Bagel was inedible because the container melted in the microwave oven even though the instructions stated that microwave heating was acceptable method. I just ate the chicken parmesan and found it to be rather bland with a somewhat mushy texture.

The convenience is great but the flavors of the meals are not fantastic. I think I prefer to get groceries and meal-prep my own meals.

I didn’t receive one of my orders and the first thing that I ate, which was chicken and pesto ganache was super super greasy floating in oil. My chicken in my Cobb salad was old and dark meat. The one thing good was I got a refund for the meal that wasn’t delivered.

The past 3-4 orders something is always missing and I have to get a refund.

Of the three meals I got, I thought one was excellent, one was very good, and the other was unappetizing. The two I liked were chicken with mushroom sauce and Alfredo. The one I didn't like was beef ragu. I thought it would be like spaghetti with better meat. It was actually shredded brisket with noodles and dollops of sauce. The flavor was more like pepper steak which was good. The brisket was very unappetizing. Fat strands held 5-6" portions of meat together. Adding noodles to that was really weird. There was a lot more meat than anything else, and very little sauce. It was so unattractive and messy, I had to stop eating even though the flavor was pretty good.

The food is good, but this last time I got, and was charged for, two incorrect items, and did not receive what I actually wanted to eat.
