We have had the service for two months. Can say we have our favorites! Some we dont like. Fix a salad to round the meals out. Good time saver. Items tend to be over cooked, but Im sure they have to be on the safe side.
I absolutely love freshly meals. I have found my favorites and each member of my family has their favorites as well. We love the convenience of these delicious, fresh tasting, gluten free meals. I cant speak highly enough about freshly.
Thank you for your review, Melissa! I'm thrilled to hear that your whole family has been enjoying the meals!
I've been getting Freshly for more than a month now since the promo I saw on Facebook. I love most of the dishes, especially the steak peppercorn, the beef lasagna and chicken parmigiana.
What I see could be better - I really want to eat healthier. Freshly's food is generally healthier than most take out options in my area of Oakland. And at the same time, I'd like more veggies, salad, and fiber rich options (esp. Because I deal with constipation sometimes). I'm aware than Thistle does this for 13.50 (3 dollars more than Freshly) but I don't see it as affordable.
Also, last week, when my box was delayed a day (which itself isn't too impactful), I came home to see that an ice pack was broken and already leaking through the box a bit. The ice pack inside was mostly frozen, but it was still able to spill a bit.
For the most part, great job Freshly!
Thank you for reviewing Freshly, Andrew! I'm very happy to hear that you've been enjoying the meals. I'm so sorry to hear about your recent delivery, and that one of the ice packs had broken in transit. I've reached out to you in a PM now so I can assist further with this, and I hope to hear from you soon!
I really give it a 3.5. The convince is great, however the variety gets stale after 3 weeks. I only like only about 50% of the entrees so after 3 weeks they feel repetitive.
Thank you for your review, Valerie, and I'm sorry to hear you haven't been fully satisfied with our variety. We're working hard to add more options as we grow though, so I hope we'll have some new meals that you'll love very soon!
Perfect portion for lunches and filling. Changing up the menu every week helps
I am pleased with this concept
Thank you for your review, Jennifer! I'm so glad you've been enjoying the meals!
I really enjoy freshly. I wish there way a broader selection of meals to pick from. I live and work out of town and cannot find motivation to cook for myself, where I greatly enjoy cooking for other people, this stuff cuts through the BS of doing it all alone.
Thank you for your review and feedback, Zac!
Everything we have ordered has been delicious. I do wish there were more food options. I feel we are ordering the same things. Although delicious we would like variety. We only order Freshly b/c it comes to us already cooked. I can no longer chop and cook.
Thank you for reviewing Freshly, Theresa! I appreciate your feedback regarding our variety, and I can assure you that we're working to add more options as we continue to grow!
The meals are very very good. I enjoy them very much. However the packaging that they come in with all of the packing materials and the gel ice packs are very inconvenient to dispose of each week theres so much of it and I know its supposed to be recyclable but to have to tear it apart and put part of it in your trash and part of it in your recycling and the gel substance leaks out and its just not a good situation. I believe in doing the environmentally right thing, but this gets old every week. Also, it is difficult to get the film off the meals. Once you get past all of that the meals are large, filling, and delicious. Its hard to believe theyre so healthy!
Thank you for your review and feedback, Cris! I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been fully satisfied with our packaging, and I can assure you that we're always looking for new packaging methods that will help the environment, and be more user-friendly.
I'm glad to hear that you've been enjoying the meals, and I hope you continue to enjoy!
I eat these dishes for lunch and they are fast and delicious. No work and still healthy. I love that I dont have to turn the oven on in this heat.
Thank you for your review, Nancie! I'm glad to hear that you've been enjoying the meals!
Anthony P and Logan L of your Dallas location are wonderful! Food is delicious.
Everything we have tried was fresh and healthy. Makes living a busy life much easier
I work midnight shift and I have little time to cook healthy meals. Im also budgeting everything on the Dave Ramsey baby step plan so this makes life extremely easy on me and my family. I highly recommend it!
Thank you for reviewing Freshly, Alex! I'm so glad to hear that we've been a great fit for your family. I hope you continue to love the meals!
I was diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer in February, started a very strong and rigorous chemo treatment. Nutrition has been incredibley hard. Most days you cant eat, or you throw up what you eat and when You finally get and appetitie you either are craving horribly unhealthy food that just makes you feel sicker, or dont have the energy to cook or make something to eat. I was losing close to 8 pounds a week and knew I had to figure something out, because even though I had some extra weight to lose. Per my oncologist Now was not the time to be losing weight. I saw an ad on Facebook about freshly and thought Id give it a try. Packaged meals, not frozen, freshly made, low carb, everything that I would usually eat, but I didnt have to make. With my tastebuds being so thrown off, everything has tasted really good, I have never had a bad meal. The portion sizes are perfect and I have managed to keep and acceptable 2 pounds of weight loss a week instead close to 10. This has definitely been a lifesaver for me and Im so thankful I found it! Also the packaging is wonderful. The box can sit on my front porch for hours in the Texas heat and everything is still completely cold. Yall keep up the good work, big or small yall are making a difference!
Thank you for taking the time to review Freshly, Brianna!

I hope you continue to enjoy, and that you have a very speedy recovery! Please don't ever hesitate to reach out if there are questions or concerns we can assist with!
The food is terrific and it saves so much time in the kitchen. Perfect for the busy professional craving the convenience of fast food but also wanting to maintain a healthy diet.
Decent enough, but only slightly better than glorified TV dinners.
Needs more choices.
Film is annoying to cut off.
Thank you for your review, Jamie! I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been fully satisfied with our service. I appreciate your feedback, and can assure you that we're working to add more variety to our menu as we grow. Currently we use a very strong film to ensure your meals stay sealed during transit, however, we are working to create a more user-friendly package!
All things considered, the food is good- and I love the convenience of not having to cook anything ( just warm it up). Disposing of the packaging is a pain
Thank you for reviewing Freshly, Ida! I'm glad to hear that you've been enjoying the meals, and I do appreciate your feedback regarding our packaging!
We have truly loved the Freshly meals! Everything is so fresh and delicious. I only wish I had done this soon. Freshly has made my life so much less complicated!
Thank you for your review, Denee! I hope you continue to love the meals!
Nice portioned meals with great flavor. Delivery is always prompt and timely. Well worth the $ and has added a nice touch to my evening meals.
Thank you for reviewing Freshly, David! I'm thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the meals!
Love Freshly - the food is delicious. I've tried everything they have to offer over the past 2 months, and I genuinely love everything. So easy to just plate and heat. Have a delicious and healthy meal compared to junk food or fast food. Love their commitment to using high quality ingredients too :)
Thank you for your review, Victoria! I'm so glad to hear that you've been enjoying the meals and service!
Pretty good. Hard to get rid of the boxes and packing. Expensive, and not great food... but better than frozen.
Thank you for your feedback, Liz! I'm sorry to hear you haven't been fully satisfied with our service, but I do appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us. I'll be sure to share your thoughts with our team, and I hope we'll have some more options that you'll love very soon!
Overall, the meals are tasty and healthy. I was surprised at the portion sizes. My only complaint is the lack of variety in the kinds of vegetables used. Might be that it's just the ones I'm choosing. The green beans, mixed veggies, and broccoli are frozen vegetables with very little flavor.
Thank you for reviewing Freshly, Ashlee! I appreciate your feedback regarding our vegetables, and I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been fully satisfied. I can assure you that we use fresh vegetables in our meals, and I'll be sure to share this feedback with our chefs!
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 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.
