Restaurant quality without the price along with a decent quantity that doesn't keep you still hungry. We stumbled across Tovala just when our toaster oven was on the way out so it was a no-brainer to try them. We're SOOOOOO happy we did!

I think they are living up to how the meal service and meal quality are promoted.
Have really enjoyed the service so far.
If anything, I may like a few more simple meals in taste like meat, vegetable and potato, few fancy sauces.

We absolutely LOVE what you all are doing…
We absolutely love what you all are doing, the food is just amazing, and the oven does such a great job cooking everything. We do take some special care for our stakes and hamburgers to pan fry the meat - it's just more to our liking, but man everything else is just so good, fresh and convenient.
We also feel like we're getting good home cooking, things prepared and created by you all, just especially for us with good clean ingredients. We don't see you all taking shortcuts and packing highly processed foods in with our meals. Sauces, produce, additional items are your own, packaged by you all.
We have been through, I dare say, 8 other programs, none of which we were happy with; from prep everything ourselves boxes, to completely made/cooked/frozen (bleh) meals. Normally we last about 3 months with other meal prep / already made plans... it's just so repetitive or the consistency of the food is all the same.
We just wanted to give some feedback and really say that we appreciate what you all are doing. We wanted to let you all know that what you all are doing not only mattering, but also making our lives enjoyable, easy, and we couldn't be happier.
We hope you all the success and years to come of service!

Tovala and our travels
Hello, just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with Tovala. We just wanted to share our story....we have been on the road from Florida since early April. Each stop across the USA, which there have been 15 of them, we have our Tovala meals shipped to our hotel or AirBNB. There has been no issues with delivery and the meals arrive cold. We travel with our Tovala oven and cook at the place we are staying. We have traveled to GA, SC, NC, NH, VA, TN, AR, AZ, NM and TX. We are very pleased with the service and delivery from Tovala.
We just wanted to give you kudos for excellent service! And BTW, the meals are delicious.

We love our Tovala oven and the meals
We love our Tovala oven and the meals! Wonderful food, easy prep and clean up! We have tried a couple other meal companies, this food is by far fresher, and better quality!

I love Tovala I do wish you would have other utensils we could purchase to use and then there would be less waste of the aluminum containers. I think it would be a great idea

I appreciate prepared meals that are convenient.
I appreciate prepared meals that are nutritious, tasty, easy to cook, and don't require me to shop for lots of ingredients to make a single meal. I am a single person and I don't have to buy lots of ingredients that can be wasted on single meals.

I have been using Tovala for around 4 months. I honestly feel that it has saved my life. I am turning 89 next month and am single. Tovala gives me delicious and nourishing meals. I have recommended it to everybody two people have signed up and I hope more will join us.
