First of all, the box was delivered in the morning with no indication that it needed to be opened immediately and/or refrigerated. On an over 100 degree Texas day it sat on my porch for 8 hours. Second, I clearly stated my preference for NO PORK or Shellfish... yet, brussel sprouts w/ bacon were included in my very first order... luckily, I had taken the time to check the ingrediants. Lastly, the food was AWFUL. Any frozen meal from Trader Joes would be better than these!

Amended: customer service was excellent. I received a refund within 24 hours and profuse apologies from management. However, that does not change my opinion of the quality of the food.

Dang... I am reading these reviews while eating a Freshly meal! The Cod. AMAZING. My 1st time to try it! Some gal used "snot" in her description... wth? Bad customer service? I have gotten means occasionally comped when I had an issue. My only issue is that I wish i could be cheaper... but hey. I will pay good money for good quality. Stouiffer's? Are you crazy? That isn't real food guys. This is REAL FOOD. Just the same as you had prepared it yourself. It is always easily digested. I am a big man... too fat. So the portions seems small sometimes but that is because that is what a normal human being would eat...

Really... do yourself a favor and at least try it. Freshly is worth it.

I've had better Lean Cuisine meals than these. I was sent 9 meals with 4 days to eat them before they expired. I imagine with the high salt content they would probably last longer than the expiration date. The sodium and fat count on these is astronomical. In my opinion, these meals are flavorless. The only one that I tried that was "okay" was the shrimp dish. I threw 2 meals away without even trying them because I threw all of the rest away after a few bites. Waste of money!

I had an extremely horrible experience with Freshly. Clearly, they provide the worse customer service experience. I am a regular user of Munchery as I don't cook. Because of the ads that popped up, I thought of trying Freshly for $49 for 9 or 7 meals. I noticed that prices were good even without the promotion so I was excited about Freshly as I would have become a regular customer if the food was good. I signed up and IMMEDIATELY made a request to either skip the delivery or cancel as I was traveling. Even though the delivery was more than one week away, they did not cancel or reschedule the order. Instead, they sent the food and it obviously was spoilt and had to be thrown away. Customer service was rude and uncoorperative and they did not even consider giving me a credit. Munchery and even Good Chef and others are a million times better - the others even have a customer service number who you can call and speak to a live person instead of communicating through email.

I've been using freshly for about 6 months now and its been a terrific experience

Website: User interface is terrific, easy to navigate and intuitive to manage your meals.

Delivery: Always on time, never had a melted box even after leaving it for 6+hrs at my doorstep, all material is recyclable also.

Quality: The food and package looks great, when plated it really does look like the promo photos

Portions: I am 6'4 and 205 lbs and the meals range from 450-650 calories of lean content. I am typically full after the meal and sometimes will have a small snack on side, but for the most part a filling portion that doesnt leave you wanting.

Taste: Always delicious and savory without feeling greasy, miles and miles better than fastfood

Satisfaction: Only one or two meals that arent my cup of tea but for the most part, never have buyers remorse.

Highly recommend at least giving it a try! Got two of my coworkers on it and they love it also.

Got my first order yesterday. The chorizo Mac and cheese was edible but loaded with salt. The meals are only good for 4 days so I had that for breakfast. The meals are so loaded with salt I could not gag down lunch or supper. The cod might have been okay but the sauce had the consistency of snot and the green beans had nine tomatoes to each bean. And was like eating a bucket of salt. The Cajun meatballs were just salt, peppers and tomato paste with the major ingredient being salt. I already skipped this coming week and now will cancel. Believe those who say lean cuisines are better. I find it hard to believe these are normally $11 each. I can spend less at Applebee's and eat real food.

Airline food tastes much better than Freshly. Hospital food is also better. The Freshly meals are pretty much frozen food packages that you can cook in the microwave.

I ordered mainly seafood dishes. All the fish and shrimp were overcooked and dry. Honestly, you're better off buying Lean Cuisine or Stouffers from the grocery store. Freshly is way overpriced for what you get. And it tastes AWFUL!

As for discontinuing service, this was very easy for me. Of course, I have subscriptions to other food delivery services, so I know my way around the subscription model.

Tried this as there was a promotion for 9 meals for $49. Definitely wouldn't pay more for it.

The meals are average size (I usually eat very little, so they were ok for me, but a man would probably need 2 to feel full). The quality of the meals was also average (not as nice as you see them on the pictures for sure!) - some were overcooked, some undercooked. I'm probably one of the worst cooks out there, but I still cook better.

Basically any freshly cooked meal will look and taste better. But when you don't have 10 minutes to cook something yourself, then it's probably an ok option. I usually don't, but after trying it out for a week I will start finding those 10 minutes.

Freshly has great tasting dinners that fit into my healthy nutrition goals! They are satisfying, delicious and fresh! Saves me time and there is no waste of food. I can't buy fresh produce and have it last long enough to prepare unless I plan to eat it several days in a row. I love having the variety made possible by Freshly in my dinners. Having 3 to 4 dinners a week prepared and ready greatly reduces the stress of planning, shopping and cooking and more economical than eating out.

I thought I would try this out as they have some great looking entrees and wanted to take a break from cooking all the time. The entree choices gave me the flexibility and more importantly the time to get dinner together quickly but with a unique entree for each family member. The food came in on time, conveniently packaged and so easy to cook. All recyclable packaging is great but I wanted to plate the food to surprise my family. The food heated up great and the core entree was tender and fresh. Great taste. The vegetables are tasty but don't always hold the full shape but not a big deterrent. You have to find the right time of plus or minus on the 2 min reheat but it does not vary too much. It would be cool to have some sort of separate dessert but I really enjoyed everything I ordered and the price was good. The online account ordering is very easy and you can hold orders. I am excited for my second round of delicious food, some as before and some new. We wouldn't use Freshley all the time but likely 1x a month or other times in a hectic week. Really happy with the quality.

I honestly thought the food was going to be average at best (purchased with coupon/got a low intro price for 9 meals), but i was happily proven wrong. Every meal was delicious, perfectly seasoned and although initially the portions looked small, once taken out of the container and put on a dinner plate, they were plenty (even for my BF). The flat steak was my favorite, as was the citrus chicken. I also do Blue Apron, but may ditch that for budget purposes and funnel it towards Freshly once a month. YUM!
