Love hearing this! Having so many talented local shefs on the platform really does make it easy to switch things up and try different cuisines. Appreciate you taking the time to share!

A lot of trash; I have no use for those red cold bags. Food was pretty good, but not better than a restaurant and almost as expensive, and really not very healthy or fresh (no greens). A few items, like the ribs, were just bad.
Response from ShefMar 10, 2026
Sorry to hear about the mixed experience, especially with those ribs. We'd love to make this right and hear more about how we can improve. Please reach out to [email protected] so we can help!

I DIDN'T GET MY FOOD!!!! You guys are like useless zoo animals.
Response from ShefMar 10, 2026
We’re so sorry your order didn’t arrive! It is unacceptable and we’re looking into what happened and will reach out shortly to make this right.

For the second time in two months a meal was missing from my delivery. Shef doesn’t do anything to remedy the miss except refund after YOU contact them. Clearly no QC going on in order fulfillment.
Response from ShefMar 10, 2026
We understand this is really frustrating. Especially happening twice. We are looking into this issue to see what went wrong and how we can do better with order fulfillment QC. Please reach out to [email protected] so we can make this right.

So far (this is our second order), the food has been delicious and the portions perfect for me and my husband. The deliveries have been a bit late and the most recent delivery person did not pick up our container from the previous week’s delivery. Other than that— we are very pleased!
Response from ShefMar 3, 2026
Really happy the meals have been hitting the spot for you both! Sorry about the delivery hiccups though. If you reach out to [email protected], we can look into that and make sure the container pickup gets sorted.
