We have really enjoyed Freshly and the convenience and consistency of enjoying good, healthy meals. I would prefer to have an option to have delivery in a re-usable bag as there is too much waste when my partner and I are focused on sustainability. Perhaps after someone finishes a month of delivery you could begin to deliver in a re-usable bag/soft pack. As I really don't like throwing all the packaging into the recycling bin every week!
We have been with Freshly for about 3 weeks now and we just love the food and the convenience
Hi Michael, thank you for your review. I'm so happy to hear that you'r enjoying our meals! I hope we can keep cooking and sending you delicious meals! Thank you again, Micheal.
My husband and I are enjoying the meals and I am enjoying not having to coo!
The food came on time and in good condition. I haven't eaten any yet so I can't comment on the quality or taste of the newly delivered food
The food I have eaten is a mixed bag. The pepper steak was excellent. The chicken casserole was not good. The flavor was not to my liking. The oven fried chicken was so so. The broccoli in the Sicilian chicken parm was awful. Over all the portions are lacking. Entree size needs to be six to eight ounces. They currently seem to be three to four. The entree appear to be diet portions. I neither need nor want to lose weight. If you want to continue replacing my dinner meals you need to step up on these issues. I'm considering other options as we speak.
Thank you for your time and attention.

I'M NEW SO i AM STILL IN THE PROCESS OF FINDING OUT WHICH DISHES I LIKE BUT SO FAR THE PROCESS HAS BEEN SIMPLE, THE DELIVERY IMPECCABLE AND THE FOOD SATISFYING! AND IN COMPARISON TO TAKE-OUT DELIVERY FEES - FRESHLY IS HANDS DOWN THE BETTER OPTION!
Hi Maria, thank you so much for rating us! I'm happy to know that we're starting off well, and I sure do hope you'll continue to order and enjoy our meals! If there's anything that I can assist you with, please don't hesitate to connect with me at [email protected], and I'd be more than happy to help! Welcome to the Freshly fam!
I have been doing this for 3 weeks now and it has been a game changer! The food is delicious and so convenient. I have tried several meal delivery services before and this one is by far the best. I have never been disappointed, always left feeling full and the large variety makes it hard to get bored. The price is also great considering the quality and portions you are getting! I highly recommend it
Food shows up in a timely manner and has a quality taste.
Hi Kimberely, thank you for your feedback. I'm so happy to hear that you're enjoying our meals and service! I hope you keep enjoying the meals we send. Thank you for being a part of Freshly!
So far I'm only a bit impressed. A chicken dish that I had; the chicken was kinda dry. I had the chicken cacciatore last night and really didn't like it at all. Love the delivery! It's a tad pricey.
Hi Lynne, thank you for your feedback. I'm very sorry to hear that you're not fully enjoying our meals. I'll certainly pass along your feedback to our chefs for further review of these dishes! With that said, I'll be reaching out privately to see how we can better improve, as well as help make this right. Thank you again, Lynne!
I have really enjoyed your service so far - the meal selection process is easy, the box arrives on time and is well-packaged, and we've enjoyed almost every meal we've ordered! The meals are fresh, healthy, and easy to heat. The one thing that may stop me from continuing this service is just the lack of turnover of meals from week to week and the inability to make adjustments to the meals (for example, requesting no mushrooms for my fiancé). If you could make more meal options available each week and or change them out more frequently I'd definitely keep using this service!
I have been buying the 12 meals each week and eating for lunch and dinner. I have lost some weight! But the meals do not keep me full very long. I'm often very hungry in between meals. I also wish they were cheaper for people who buy every week. $9-10 a meal is a LOT. I wish we'd get a coupon, even every couple of weeks, to keep your buyers renewing
Hi Kristi, thank you for your feedback. I'm very sorry to hear that our meals are leaving more to be desired. We do always portion our meals to be around 13-15 ounces per meal! We don't have promotions for current customers, however you can receive a discount by referring friends and family! You can click on "Get $40" within your subscription to send a referral link. Once they sign up, you'll both receive 2 deliveries discounted by $20 each! With that said, I'll be reaching out to see how I can further assist in making this right. Thank you again, Kristi!
If you live in Miami or FL please do not order with freshly, your food will never be on time and if you received you're not going to be able to eat it. Of course they'll give you the money back but all your plans will go with your food (to the garbage)
Hi Mauricio, thank you for sharing your feedback! I see that you've also gave us a review on Yelp, but I did want to apologize again for any delivery inconvenience that you've experienced with us.
I'll be sure to pass along your feedback to our delivery team, and if there's anything I can do to make things right, please feel free to reply to my private messages, and I'd be more than happy to help!
Would like more variety and lower calorie options love the biodegradable packaging food is delicious slightly more costly than some of the other programs website isn't always easy to use when choosing foods and not always easy to remember to put I. For off weeks
I tried to rate each entre individually but was kicked out not that great. A few entrees were spot but one week I threw out 2 as they were awful

Hi Doris, thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. I'm pleased to hear we've been a beneficial addition to your day! If you ever have any comments or concerns, feel free to connect with me at [email protected]!
I order this service for my elderly father. He loves the meals, but which there were more choices, particularly for beef and fish. Also, some of the sauces should be prepared to come on the side rather than on top of the meat dishes.

I am enjoying the benefits that Freshly has to offer as it relates to not having to shop, cook prepare or clean up after my meals, however one thing that I have noticed in most of the meals I have ordered is the high amounts of sodium.
Hello Jeannine! Thank you for sharing your rating and review --I'm so happy to hear you've been enjoying your meals. The ease and convenience of a delicious meal with no fuss is why we do what we do.

The food is great, and it convenient for my work days, but the price is way too much.
Hello Zack! Thank you for sharing your rating and review --I'm so happy to hear you've been enjoying your meals. I'll be sure to pass along your thoughts to our team as well.
There are quite a few factors that we consider when pricing our meals. Such as the recipes that our Chefs create with the help of our in-house Wellness Experts, sourcing the fresh ingredients according to weekly order demand, prepping and cooking the meals, and the shipping/delivery process as well.

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!

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.

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.

Hi Patrick, I appreciate your review and thoughts! We're constantly searching and testing other packaging materials that are more eco-friendly! For example, we’ve recently been testing fiber containers, and we hope to utilize more materials like this in the future. In the meantime, we always urge our customers to recycle using the instructions we include on our packaging.
