I am absolutely loving the experience of Freshly meals. The meals are delicious and healthy, the portions are just right and it is a Godsend for people like me who have NO time to meal prep. It is such a great alternative to take out. The only reason I gave 4 stars is the amount of plastic packaging, I know it can't be helped. But there has to be biodegradable meal containers the industry as whole could adopt!
Mel was Great. Gave great suggestions and help. I had a few questions and they were quick and well answered.
My first time ordering and Mel was excellent in answering my questions and also gave me extra feedback on what to do
Thanks for taking the time to rate us, Julie! I'm so glad to hear Mel was a great help for you today. We're so excited to cook for you and I hope you'll enjoy the meals! Welcome to the Freshly family!
The title says it all. Easy, fast and tasty. Something for everyone.
Thanks for your perfect rating, Nancy! I'm truly grateful that you've been enjoying our meals. I hope we could keep you satisfied in all your future orders!
I had a question about my recent order and Christopher quickly gave me the information I needed. Thank you!
Wow! Thanks for sharing your awesome experience, Meg. I'll make sure Christopher will know about your 5-star review.
No complaints. Tasty, easy, fast, and nice portion
First time and will continue to purchase meals from freshly
Wish there was 3 meals day options
Breakfast, lunch and dinner...
Thanks for sharing your awesome review, Veronica! I'm thrilled to know that you're loving our meals and your suggestion could be a good idea so I'll be sure to pass it along to our team for review.
Christopher did a great job helping me get my account sorted out after I neglected tp input my promo code. And to fund a live person at 11:20 pm.
Thank you so much for sharing your 5 star rating, Brian. I'm thrilled to know that Christopher was an excellent help.
My family and I love Freshly, and it's really been amazing during this pandemic, as I am a high risk individual and am not comfortable shopping at the grocery store. I just recieved notification that my most recent order was delivered even though I hadn't recieved anything. They were quick to issue me a credit for my next order, which was incredibly reassuring, although I do hope they investigate with the delivery company because I know it isn't Freshly's fault that the order was signed for at the wrong address. The customer service rep, Christopher, was polite and friendly.
Wow --thank you for sharing this, Cara! I'm thrilled to hear you're enjoying our meals and service! Also, I'm happy to hear Christopher was able to assist you and would be happy to share your wonderful review with him!
The customer service is outstanding. Packaging for meals and shipping is amazing. We appreciate the care and work invested in the menu. After being a satisfied customer for quite some time, our only 2 complaints are the cauliflower taste in the mashed potatoes and every meal has the same under tone of flavor. We have decided to cut back for a bit.
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback, Cathy! I'm thrilled to hear you're enjoying our customer service and would be happy to pass your feedback to our chefs.
Tried my first meal on my son's recommendation - glad I did!
Thank you for sharing this, Diane! We're happy to hear you're enjoying our cooking!
I'm quite busy, so its easy for me to just pop one of these in the microwave for a quick and amazing meal.
Thank you for sharing this, Trevor! Im thrilled to hear our service is a perfect fit for you!
I am very impressed so far. I paid specially attention because of my bad experience with Flexpro Meals. Your packaging is on point. Nothing is broken, it was packed in an orderly fashion and carefully and the fact that you use Fedex is wonderful. UPS doesn't do well with food. Also, the pictures you display IS THE ACTUAL FOOD you get. WOW. Because of other experiences, this was impressive to me. Other companies borrow fancy pictures and their food doesn't look like that. Finally, the quality of taste. It is FRESH as your company is called. Other companies? You can taste the freezer burn. I am super happy so far with you guys. I just wish you offered dessert. :)
It's truly amazing to hear that we've been a great fit for you, Beatriz! Thank you so much for the awesome review and for sharing the Freshly love!
So far we like everything we've tasted. Well balanced, well portioned meals. Beats eating fast food and way cheaper then take out!
Thank you for sharing this, Karen! I'm happy to hear we're a perfect fit!
Unfortunately, Freshly failed to meet my expectations for interesting, flavorful meals. The "turkey white bean chili" was... not that. Instead of a hearty chili, I got about a quarter cup of beige soup. This slurry, falsely advertised as a meal for a grown human, DID include white beans, but any turkey was so thoroughly macerated as to be non-evident. The so-called "Cuban bowl" was so bland, it was basically indistinguishable from a frozen Power Bowl from Healthy Choice. Another entree featured peas and carrots as a side dish. Peas and carrots? That's what they had in the old TV dinners my mom used to feed us... who thinks this is an interesting side in 2020? I'm actually surprised that people are willing to pay $10 a meal for recipes as uninspired as these. But, good luck to you, I guess I'm not your target customer.
Hi John, thank you for sharing your feedback. I'm saddened to hear you haven't fully enjoyed the meals. I'll be sure to pass this along to our kitchen since our menu is 100% customer-inspired and driven, using ratings and suggestions from our customers! I'd be happy to make note of any further feedback you'd like to share, as we'd like to hear how we can improve.
Ordering Is easy and food is tasty, website is user friendly and food comes ontime
Hi Sharon, I'm gratified with your review and I'm excited to share your feedback with our team. Thank you very much!
The delivery comes each and every week, on time. The meals could sit outside for days and still be okay, they're really inside a big ice box cooler.
I've really enjoyed all of the meals that I've tried so far. The variety is vast and I change meals when I tire of eating the same thing for too long.
Thank you for your wonderful review, Thomas! I'm thrilled to hear you're enjoying our service!
Thanks for the great food! Loved the new menu items!
Every item is packed wonderfully and everything has been so delicious.
Great home food delivery company.
We're happy to know that we've been a great help and that you've been enjoying our meals, Barbara. Thank you for sharing your awesome experience!
Answer: Hi Marc, Thanks for your inquiry! At this time we change one meal per week, typically. We will either remove an item and replace with something new, update the recipe on a current item or just add an item without removing one. As we continue to grow we will have plans to offer even more variety as well!
Answer: Hi Steven, Thank you for your interest in Freshly! We are a weekly subscription service, so you would be charged for, and delivered meals on a weekly basis. However, you can select to skip weeks, or cancel your subscription at anytime! These changes would just need to be made prior to your weekly deadline, which is outlined in your Welcome Email, Reminder Emails, and in your Meal Planner. I hope this helps!
Answer: Our meals are prepared and shipped out from our kitchen in Phoenix.:-) For Arizona deliveries we use FedEx.
Answer: The delivery window they give us is between 9am and 9pm. We package the meals to be safe for 2 days transit time, plus safe to sit outside for up to 12 hours upon delivery.:-)
Answer: Hi Nancy! We do not cook meals based on other programs' guidelines at this time. We're not overly concerned with calorie counts, but more concerned with where calories come from. Our meals are generally high protein, high healthy fat, low carb, low sugar. We use unprocessed ingredients free from hormones or added sugars, and never use chemical preservatives. Please let me know if I can answer any other questions at this time!
Answer: Hi Shawn W, That doesn't sound right! Please reach us at [email protected] so we can take a closer look at this!

First and foremost, I'd like to inform you that we're a weekly subscription service, which means you'll receive meals weekly, and get charged weekly as well. Here are the steps to follow while signing up: 1 - Add your email address and zip code in the sign-up box on our homepage. ( www.Freshly.com) 2 - Pick your meal plan. Just keep in mind that our meals have a shelf life of about 5 days unless frozen. 3 - Pick your delivery day from the available dates!

Answer: Hi Gayle, Thank you for reaching out to us here at Freshly! You can certainly reheat our meals in a conventional oven, however, our current meal containers are not safe for the oven or stove-top, so you'll have to transfer your food to heat it up. First, preheat your oven to 350° F. Transfer your food to an oven-safe dish (don't forget to scrape the sauce out of the tray!) and cover the top in tin foil. Heat for 25-35 minutes, remove foil, and let sit 3-5 minutes, then transfer to your choice of plate or bowl and enjoy! (Keep in mind, heating times are approximate. You'll want to reheat the meal to an inner temperature of 165° F.)
Answer: Hi Angela, Thank you for reaching out to us here at Freshly! We use third-party carriers for our deliveries, such as FedEx in her area! We can deliver Tuesday-Saturday in Southern Illinois--deliveries can occur between 8am-9pm depending on the carriers route for the day. While carrier delays are out of the norm, weather-related issues, road closures, driver confusion, etc. can wreak havoc. We have a dedicated delivery team that works directly with our carriers to ensure successful deliveries, and we're always sure to compensate when delays arise. We certainly hope this helps! To view a list of currently available deliveries, you can enter your zip code at www.freshly.com!
Answer: I've been getting mine in on time, but I assume as with all packages going through USPS, UPS, and FedEx right now, things have been backed up since COVID and only getting worse. So it's not Freshly's fault even if they aren't delivered on time.
