So Very Pleased
March 21, 2020

My husband and I have been with Freshly for a few months now. We initially ordered twelve meals weekly but found that was too many for two older seniors. We are now receiving nine meals weekly and that seems to work nicely. Freshly has become our main source of food which was our goal in trying Freshly. We are so pleased with the quality of each meal. Of course we have our favorites and have some dietary issues which determines our weekly order. We enjoy trying the new dishes that Freshly offers. We could not be more pleased with the freshness, taste and quality of Freshly food!

Huge Improvement From A Year Ago!

I had a Freshly subscription a little over a year ago and loved it then. Now there are even more meals to choose from and they taste amazing.

Was honestly a bit skeptical, but it's been working out great. I'm an airline pilot and this is a great way for me to bring fresh, good, healthy food while I travel.

The meals all looked alike by the time they got to my house. Everything was all mixed together. (Maybe you could purchase containers with dividers and vacuum seal the plastic tight to keep the food from shifting around) They did not even taste good. I could not tell what I was eating. I ordered 4 meals. The first one which I don't know what it was but it was nasty. I tried to eat another one but could not even get a bite in my mouth without feeling nauseated just looking at it, so that one was thrown away. The last two I gave to my son and daughter in law and they could not even taste them, they were so nasty looking.

Switch up side dishes
March 21, 2020

I'm more of a chicken eater. I hate peas and carrots. Sometimes the side on a beef dish I would like on a chicken dish. And sometimes I won't get a chicken dish because of the side or vegetables. So I find I'm limited in my choices and get the same things over and over. And although they are good I get tired of the same thing. Using the sides u already make and just switch it up would give me more options. Otherwise, great job. Thanks

There has not been a meal yet that I have not loved. Portions are good sizes. The meats are cooked just right and all sides have been delicious. The few times I have had to interact with customer service they have been understanding, listen well and treat you like a valued member of the Freshly family. I have been impressed.

Good but bland
March 20, 2020

The service, web site, and app are good. The food is well-prepared.

My criticism is with the menu. There are about 30 dishes, 25 of which
Are bland "bits of chicken with veg" (a couple have turkey or pork)
And if you closed your eyes you would not be able to tell them apart
(even the curry and tex-mex are bland). There are 4 or 5 that have a
"large piece of chicken with veg" that are pretty good, and one
Shining jewel that has "a piece of steak with veg". No fish, no single
Pieces of pork, lamb, or veal; no vegetarian. And little with a hint of
Ethnic interest; there is a chicken tikka marsala
That tastes nothing like a curry and a chicken teriyaki with no teriyaki flavor.

The menu changes over time and has got steadily worse ever since I
Have been a customer.

Presumably they get feedback on their dishes, so perhaps I am just out
Of step with the rest of their customers, but in daily life my tastes
Are similar to my friends and colleagues.

I must also criticize their packaging: 20 lbs of gel ice packs that I have
To haul out to the trash. Why not use frozen
Water bottles like Amazon? Or at least the kind of gel that can go
Down the toilet.

Hi John, thanks for your feedback. I'm very sorry to hear that you're not fully enjoying our meals, or the variety we offer. We do update our menu typically once a week, and update our current recipes quite often! I'll be sure to pass your thoughts on to our chefs for further review! We do use plenty of gel ice packs to keep your meals cool, as we do ship our meals sometimes across many states, and food safety is out top priority! With that said, I'll be reaching out privately to try and help make this right!

Life Style Changer for a Widow
March 20, 2020

I became a widow when my husband of 30 years died over 9 years ago. I have struggled trying to provide healthy food for myself since, having been an avid cook before and now a disinterested diner. Having subsisted on frozen dinners all this time, Freshly was a winner for me from the first meal, and though it may sound overly dramatic, truly a life changer I now look forward to dinnertime.

Easy, convenient and good food
March 20, 2020

It's been great. I love getting my meals when I want. It's easy to change your meals and skip weeks. For the most part the food is delicious. Some dishes are little bland but that can be fixed at home. The reason it's not 5 stars is because I do feel that the portions are just a bit small. Especially for my husband. Also, I do feel it's a bit over priced at $10/meal. Other than that, I love Freshly and the different choices they provide.

Hi Natalie, thanks for your feedback. I'm happy to hear that you're enjoying most of your meals. We do lightly season our meals so they can be enjoyable for a wider range of people, and we portion them to average 13.6 ounces per meal. I'll be sure to pass along your thoughts to our chefs! Thank you again for your time, Natalie!

Surprisingly good and healthy meals. I needed a change from fast food and eating out so I tried Freshly and I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious their meals are. Very convenient to have them delivered and they are very easy to prepare. I have yet to choose a meal I didn't like and I have tried almost all of them. My wife likes the Turkey Meatloaf so I get some of those for her. These are really a good idea especially during this COVID 19 outbreak when you want to socially distance yourself from people and going to the grocery store.

Comments on the website
March 20, 2020

Freshly is great, i really enjoy most of the meals and the service. I do have a couple of comments on the website design when choosing meals.
*Could a feature be added to the meal choosing where, if you click on a meal, you can see how you've rated it in the past? I rate the meals, but can't always remember if I liked a particular meal or not. It would be nice to be reminded that I loved or didn't like something before I decide to add it to my weekly menu.
*I try to choose my meals several weeks in advance, but sometimes I want to make a change to one of them. I don't like that if I change my meals for two weeks out, that it automatically changes the meals I've chosen on the orders 3 or 4 weeks out to those same meals. Can you remove that feature?

Thank you for considering my feedback.

Hello Brynn. We certainly appreciate your thoughts, as every little bit, no matter how big or small is seen as an opportunity to grow! I'll certainly pass along your feedback to the proper channels when it comes to helping identify which meals were rated previously. In the meantime, you may head to the "Rate Meals" page of your Freshly subscription, and when you scroll down you should be able to see what meals you've rated in the past. That should certainly aid in selecting meals that you know you've really liked! When you set your weekly order for one week, the following orders will update as well, so it is important to keep an eye on the upcoming meals, though should you need assistance in getting the orders updated, please feel free to get in touch with us at [email protected]!
