This is my 5th order. I have some observations: overall meals are tasty & filling. The size of the meat servings are erratic, from bountiful to skimpy. Chicken is invariably very dry no matter how... See more

Measl for a Friend

We sent several meals to a friend who has been having some health issues. Hopefully it made his recovery a little bit easier.

Great Work, Thank you!

Well made meals. Well packed. Delivered a day early even! Love it! Microwave instructions were a bit light, "Cook for at least 90 seconds", when (the ones I've had so far) really needed 4+ minutes. Still, very good!

Customizable meals

We have been buying meals from Top Chef for many years and are very pleased with the meals. One thing that I don’t like is that all meals are not customizable. I particularly do not like the meatloaf dinner. You need a new recipe for meatloaf with customizable sides.
Also it would be nice to have trays with 3 sections. Some entrees and sides do not go well together in the tray.

The customer service is very professional. If there is an issue with an order they immediately do their best to resolve it. They are very courteous,understanding and cooperative. Their meals are very tasty and healthy especially if an individual has health problems like diabetes, weight, high blood pressure. They're great for kids too. Well balanced meals. I am grateful for Top Chef Meals. Thank you!!

Food and customer service deserves 5 stars. The choice of delivery agent (FedEx) actually should pull it down below 4 stars. They are terrible. I know this isn’t a delivery review but they repeatedly fall short on delivery either by being late or failure to follow delivery instructions and detract from the whole experience.

Just what was needed

This was the 4th order I have placed to assist family members who were unable to prepare meals. This time I purchased a gift certificate that was emailed by Top Chef to the recipients.
I received a call from my sister within 10 minutes after the order was placed. She was so pleased, she was in tears.
When the order arrived, my sister a text telling us what they would have that night. They were so happy to have the selection of meals to choose from and the ease of preparation.
Top Chef has come through for me once again.

Portions are small on most meals

Portions are small on most meals. Turkey didn't taste fresh this time. Love the brisket but the portion is very small. Love the Pork ragu with polenta. I'm not sure I will be ordering again as there is only free shipping after 16 meals. Website is not the best. I had to call the last time to get my order through because the name of the item I was ordering had changed and the website was not updated.
