Reviewers had a great experience with this company. People frequently share that the food is extremely tasty, offering proper portion sizes and a wonderful variety that makes everyday dining much easier for families. Consumers also love the great flexibility of ordering meals without any mandatory subscription commitments while consistently receiving supportive customer care. However, some people mentioned issues with delayed shipments, noting that packages occasionally arrived completely thawed because the dry ice had melted entirely during transit. Additionally, customers expressed deep disappointment regarding the recent removal of meal customization features, and a few reported receiving damaged containers with broken plastic pieces.
Auto-generated from all reviews of this business. For reference only.Great food and serving sizes. Only complaint I have, is when you use ClimaCell Temperpack Product the food thaws out by the time it reaches Pelion, South Carolina. It has happened twice and I have considered using another vendor if it continues to happen.
I ordered on June 25. Meals were to arrive on June 30. Instead they arrived July u9th. I am hoping I can update my order before the next shipment.
My order was placed 7/5/2026 at 6:58 PM Central ,, Website said Delivery would be Thursday 7/9/26 ,, BUT it arrive appx, 2PM Friday 7/10/26 & was thawed but hopefully cool enough that me refreezing it will have allowed it to be edible ? (I called Top Chef Meals at 2:30PM and received a message that "the Box was full" ! ,,, A spoiled delivery is not just about what it Cost but also throws my week of meals into chaos ! so I froze it in hope of it being edible !
Easy delicious meals.
Disappointed that the ability to change options with the basic meal. Also, sauces appear to have been more than cut in half leaving dishes dry, lacking moisture. My senior discount that I have had for 5 years or so is no longer showing up. I like that I do not have to subscribe. Meal choices appear to have been decreased as well. The most recent delivery was completely thawed and no dry ice remained. Barely cool to the touch.
I am a long time customer of this company. In the beginning everything was great. Aside from good food they allowed customers to customize entrees according to allergies likes and dislikes. They offered a fair discount on bulk purchases. The orders were always correct always arrived on time. The company also had lots of specials and available dishes rotated well. In my most recent order NONE of these things were true. Too many things changed all at once. The food is still above average but my family is looking for another meal delivery company that will work well for us the way this company used to. By the way, they also added a delivery fee for bulk orders that never existed before. To be fair, the company did try to make things right when I brought delivery irregularities to their attention.
I haven't finished all the meals, but all look delicious. However, when I received the meals there was no ice or any coolant. I still hesitate eating them. When I next order PLEASE add more ice.
Was set to deliver on a Friday, arrived on a Tuesday. I schedule delivery to have meals on my 48 hour shifts and I had to scramble and pull meals together. Also, quality has diminished significantly. Bones in the salmon cake
I've been getting top chef for about three years now. What attracted to me to this product was I was able to have a choice of carbs and vegetables for some of the meals. That is no longer in existence with top Chef now. Also, I did not have to pay for shipping if I ordered up to 21 meals. That was a big savings for someone who is on a limited retirement salary and 98 years old. Now I have to pay for shipping. Also, if I had a problem, I was able to call an immediately get it rectified. For some reason there is no longer a number available and I have to email which sometimes on the weekend will take at least two days or three days to get a response back I'm very disappointed in the way this company is going.
Great meals, and are detailed for a specific diet, if requested.
very tasty meals. tasted very fresh and of high quality
Order was not sent out. It came a week after I ordered overnight FedEx. I was told I would be given a credit.
Hi Linda, I was trying to track down this for you and I don't see anything about someone offering you a credit or where you contacted Customer service? Can you please email us with your request?
Top Chef made changes to delivery policies, discount policies, fee policies, etc. without advising customers in advance of their implementation causing confusion and a waste in customers' time.
I have asked repeatedly to please pack my 4meal in the small box.I am handicapped and can’t lift the large box. The I get is that they will but still receive the larger box. I am going to cancell my subscription if it happens 1 more time. I like the food but can’t handle the service.
I apologize for your experience but we are having issues with our supplier producing the insulation for this size box. We are working on a solution as quickly as possible
This is the best meal service company around ! Great meals, great meal and menu selection! Everything always arrives well packed, secure and within a couple of days. They give you nice selections and don’t try to lick you in to a set menu. Reasonable prices too!! They have never let me down.
I received 6 meals and 3 of the containers were cracked and split. After I heated the meals in the oven, I noticed that there were pieces of black plastic in the actual meal. One of the pieces in particular was fairly large and would certainly have presented a serious problem had I consumed it. What is going on with the quality of the containers?
I'm very sorry for your expereince, we haven't changed our containers at all but with that being said if you have an issue simply take pictures and send them to our customer service and we can credit you for the damaged meals.
Ordered ten meals and only had one delivered with no intention to deliver the other nine. Why, i don't know. Top Chef never noticed that it only made one altho you charged for ten. Thinking the others were coming i waiting days. Nothing. So i had to call customer support to get this corrected. After another week the nine meals were delivered.
