We are soup people - well, I became one after marrying my husband last year - and also empty nesters who live in a rural area, about a half hour from most restaurants. So, we were excited when we came across Beehive Meals, because we don't have to cook quite as much. We have a small portable electronic freezer that we take on trips that we use for our soups. It's so easy to pick one that we're in the mood to eat, plop it in our Instant Pot on the slow cooker setting a couple of hours before lunch or dinner and open the lid to homemade goodness. We really like the variety, too. I have read reviews where people say they aren't flavorful enough. Just make sure to scrape the seasonings out of the corner of the bag where they tend to settle. read more

Some of the meals are good, but it is so overpriced for what you actually get. I made a roast meal today that was supposed to be for six people. The calorie count per serving was 220 calories. In what universe is that a meal? Most meat should have a serving size of at least 3-4 ounces. To feed 6 people you need 18-24 ounces. The meal today had far less than half of that and an about a teaspoon per person of vegetables. If they wanted to be honest, it should be called beehive side dishes or beehive snacks. In no reality can you call any of these pre-packaged things a meal. It's way easier and more cost efficient to buy a main dish from Costco and add your own sides. read more

I really wanted to like this concept, but I honestly cannot get past how ridiculously overpriced this is for what you actually receive. Most of the meals are essentially just a protein drowning in sauce, and that's it. No sides, no starch, no vegetables -- you're basically handed a bag of saucy meat and then expected to figure out the rest of the meal yourself. At that point it feels less like a "meal service" and more like buying a VERY expensive marinade. What really pushed this into absurd territory was opening a bag labeled as a 6-serving meal and finding ONE single chicken breast inside. I added a photo to this review so people can see exactly what I'm talking about. One chicken breast for six servings is... ambitious, to say the least. For the price, I expected something closer to an actual complete meal solution. Instead, you still need to plan and buy all the sides, which defeats the convenience factor the service is supposed to provide. Great idea in theory, but the portion-to-price ratio and lack of actual "meal" components make this really hard to justify. read more

We LOVE Beehive Meals! We have been using their services for about 2 years now. I have particularly enjoyed their soup menu, Thanksgiving menu and most recently the Super Bowl menu. Last night during the Super Bowl people were raving about the food. Life is easier.i can't speak highly enough of the food and service. I have also sent out as gifts or just given a meal when someone needed it. read more

Very slow shipping and dishonest communications. I ordered a time-sensitive food gift on 2/19. Didn't hear anything until a week later - 2/25 - when they claimed that UPS had asked them not to ship anything because of poor weather. How ridiculous! I checked UPS and there were no delivery alerts and on the face of it, when does UPS ask businesses NOT TO SHIP?? The gift finally shipped on 3/2 - ELEVEN days after ordered. It arrived on 3/4 - 13 days after ordering. So - non-existent communications for a full week and then insulting (for the dishonesty) communications trying to cover for the delay. read more

Absolutely love this company! They were quick and everything was delivered beautifully in a cute little freezer bag! The meals are all labeled well and everything was so easy! I bought a few extra things for some of the recipes to make tacos and sandwiches etc...but this was awesome! Just pop it in the slow cooker and done! My kids ages 12, 4, and 2, loved the meatloaf honey Dijon chicken and sloppy joes the best. Highly recommend for busy parents and families to make meal time easier! read more

Love soups, like the convenience of having a ready to serve meal....HOWEVER, do not like their cream soups. When I opened the "Marry ME Chicken Soup" it was curdled to start, after cooking stilled curdled. Every cream soup I have made from Beehive either has a layer of fat on top the soup or is curdled...discusting to look at and embarring to serve to my family. Customer service said to blend soup before adding the shreaded chicken....another step for a simple, easy meal...NOT read more

Food is bland, horrible cuts of meat. I have thrown away 3/4 of every meal so far, because the meat is either really chewy, or the dish has no flavor. Very disappointing as I really wanted to love this company. Do not waste your money. read more

We really like the soup menu; my husband is a soup nut, so that's a winner. I wish they came in bigger portions though. The regular menu is okay, but it gets very repetitive: shredded chicken, pork, or beef over rice or noodles. I stopped shredding some of them bc it just got to be...ugh. We ate the roast for the dip sandwiches just like a roast and it was delicious! read more

Beehive Meals - This pressure cooker is plenty big and works like a charm! - Food Delivery Services Near Me

Left an honest review on their website - the food was ok but the choice of not using dry ice and regular ice packs and items were delivered slightly cold and not frozen. My review was not posted which means they filter out their negative reviews on their website. read more

Pros: 1) Helps with meal planning for entree (only, not whole meal). 2) Cooks in the crockpot. 3) Decent flavoring and entree ideas. Cons: 1) Portion size -- NOT accurate. The 5-6 serving package barely offers 4 servings. The packages state 3/4 C per serving. (e.g. no way you can serve 5-6 servings with 1.5 chicken breasts.) 2) One or two side dishes + vegetables are a must to make it a full meal for approx 4 people. 3) It's not a dump and go into crockpot for 4-6 hours. Realistically it's approx 3 hours of cooking time so need to start in afternoon, which is inconvenient. 4) When you order, your confirmation email and the box of meals don't have your menu order. You must go onto the website to see what the monthly menu is. 5) Overpriced for the portion size. Overall--the idea is good; but really needs improvement on the portion size and cost. I won't order again. read more

Super slow processing times, same menus, and snarky customer service. Processing times are not as advertised very frustrating. I order the meals to help me prep as a single mom working full time. Recently I called about a late shipment (still not shipped) and the customer service rep gave me a line that adds more time to process. When I asked when it would be shipped the girl continued to tell me "1-3 business days after ordering", rather than do anything or get any information about my order. It's Tuesday night and I placed my order last week. read more

I am so impressed with this company. My daughter is a cancer patient and several months ago, her cousin nominated her for a contest they were running, giving a number of free meals. They contacted her and said she won but for some reason the order was missed. My daughter never heard anything more. Yesterday I saw an advertisement for them with a link to the website. I contacted them and IMMEDIATELY they researched and are sending her the meals!! It is a godsend for her to be able to have freezer meals she can heat up on treatment days or sick days! THANK YOU BEEHIVE MEALS FOR YOUR KINDNESS, GENEROSITY AND PROVIDING PROFESSIONAL SERVICE! I wish you much success! I hope everyone supports this company! read more

Honestly, these are terrible. Lacks seasoning, I've had to add seasoning to every meal I've gotten from them. I actually asked the company for a refund since they were so terrible, and they refused. I will never spend another dime with them. I wish there were 0 stars! read more

I purchased 10 meals for a friend having a baby. when I purchased them I had decided I wanted to wait on the subscription , so I cancelled the subscription. In turn cancelled my delivery. So a couple days later i checked on it again and it was still showing cancelled. So I placed a new order, when that order was placed it charged me twice. I did receive two boxes, however that is not what I had ordered. I contacted customer service and they told me there is nothing they can do about it. It is not my fault their system messed up and charged me twice. I shouldn't be stuck with almost $200 more in charges because of it. Especially during the holidays. I'm very disappointed.. read more

We've been subscribers on and off for about 9 months. We originally signed up for postpartum meals and really appreciated the gluten-free option. The food is convenient, fairly easy-to-use, and great when you don't want to figure out dinner but... 1. the meals really lack flavor, creativity, and variety. (My freezer right now has about 7 Beehive Meals bags that are basically just chicken breast frozen in a sauce.) 2. A lot of the sauces are really sweet, really salty, really buttery, or really bland. 3. Most require you to cook something to serve the meals over like pasta or rice or it's meat like the sloppy joes or marinara sauce and you have to provide your own accompaniments. 4. The meals are small. We get, on average, 1.5 chicken breasts per meal for 2 people. 5. One of our meals had pork that had been packaged way past its prime. It was green and we had to throw it away. Overall, they're good to have on hand but not for the price. read more

Been using Beehive meals for the last 8 months and have enjoyed the meals. We have tried several different meal services and enjoy the ease of Beehive. We have a special needs young adult who is able to easily participate in fixing dinners using these meals. read more

Beehive Meals has made dinners at my house so easy! I no longer stress about what we're eating, going to the store for ingredients, cooking, and cleaning up a huge mess. They've given me back my sanity and time! During the week we have four people in the house (my boyfriend, myself, and my two kids). We purchase the freezer meals for 5-6 people and that feeds the 4 of us with occasional leftovers. Beehive Meals provides the main course, but I add the sides (like a veggie, salad, or rolls). Cooking dinner is so simple now. I grab a dinner from the freezer, pop it in to the crockpot (use a liner for easy cleanup), and turn it on. It slow cooks anywhere from 3 to 6 hours depending on the instructions. If it's a chicken dish, I'll shred it at the end and then pop it back in while I'm finishing the sides. It's so simple and easy....and delicious! Beehive Meals drops the freezer meals off at my house in a black insulated bag (I'll upload pics after my next delivery on the 19th). It doesn't get more simple and easy than that. I am so happy I found them and I will continue to use them! read more

A few of the meals had holes in them and were leaking meat juice and sauce onto all the other meals. I had to rip the meals apart to separate them (because they were stuck together with sauce) and fit them in my freezer which I am hoping didn't make more holes. Such a mess to clean up and would only refund me for the meals that for sure had holes in them. read more

This company has the right idea the problem is I highly doubt their sauces and bases are homemade. The ingredients don't lie. I appreciate the transparency, but I mine as well eat the crap restaurants serve with all the hidden ingredients you have. Seed oils? Cargeenan? " natural flavors" nope nope nope read more

So easy amd convenient. I just throw it in a crockpot and we all enjoy the meal. Delivery is fast and food is well preserved in insulated packaging. I'm not sure how we survived without the ease of Beehive Meals read more

When I first started getting beehive meals I really enjoyed them I especially enjoyed the fact that I could substitute out meals that my family would not eat or enjoy especially as a mom with kids who can be picky. However now that they have changed their delivery system now I'm unable to swap out these meals and sometimes I'm left with meals that I have to donate which makes this service less cost-effective for me and my family. However the meals that we do enjoy are really good and I do like that I can just put it in the crock pot and forget about it. read more

Beehive Meals - One of the meals that's wasted because my family won't eat it - Food Delivery Services Near Me

I'm not sure what to think regarding the customer service. They seemed very communicative at first (I'm talking very responsive with emails back and forth), but once I asked a simple question regarding discrepancies with macros I haven't heard anything back. Even if there is no answer right now, they should at least say they are looking into it, especially considering the kind of customer experience this gives off when you're very responsive one minute and no longer responsive right after a discrepancy is raised. Even if the timing is just a coincidence there should be enough self-awareness on their part to see how this looks. As far as the taste: (1) it's better than what I can do for myself (I can't cook to save my life) and (2) a lot cheaper than DoorDashing every meal or using a meal prep service ‍ This latest with their customer service (or lack thereof) leaves a bad taste in my mouth though and I will now be looking elsewhere where I otherwise would not have been. read more

Disappointed in these. I have seen a lot of influencers rave about these and I'm just kind of confused. They all taste the same and they all end up as mush. I think because all the ingredients are frozen and then cooked together the quality is just poor. Also, almost every single meal ends up with a layer of grease/oil across the top. I bought some months ago and still haven't used them all yet...I keep thinking the next one will be good, but every single time I'm disappointed. Tonight I made the chicken and gnocchi according to instructions and the gnocchi is terrible...the flavors are okay but the gnocchi is literally dough blobs and texture is such a turn off. I wouldn't recommend. read more

I really want to like Beehive. It's extremely convenient and I like using my crock pot and providing my own sides. With that said, far too many of the meals center around shredded chicken. "Shredded chicken with a sugar chicken sauce" pretty much sums up the average meal you get from Beehive. The chicken noodle soup is inedible and we skip months when it is on the menu. I would be willing to pay extra for more variety because the entrees are good but get old very quickly. read more

My family started Beehive Meals to get us through a particularly busy time in our life. It definitely has made dinner so easy and the meals are 8/10. Sometimes we have to add a little more flavor to a few but overall it's nice to have a healthy, homemade meal to toss in the crockpot. I love the variety of meals and appreciate the serving suggestions. Overall, I do not regret starting the service and it's great for a busy family. read more

Quality crafted, delicious meals that my whole family enjoys. Portions are generous, feed my family with always a little leftover for later. read more

Veggie Mac This is our 3rd Beehive meal. Pretty goo Directions say use 3 quart crockpot but does not indicate how much water. So assuming 3 Quarts, stirred contents in 3 quarts of water. After 2 hours on low in the crockpot pot...only slightly warm and obviously far too diluted to be useful. Will continue with elbow pasta as instructed but at this point we will probably go out and order a pizza. Won't post this until we finish with the poor directions and hope for the best. Actually, for reasons explained including us not following directions, this Wes not a satisfying meal. We will continue with Beehive dinners. read more

I found Beehive Meals through an ad and am so glad it targeted me - I ordered for the first time last month and am so pleased. I am a busy mom and professional, so when I forget to plan ahead for dinner, I throw one of these prepped meals in the crockpot and have a fresh, healthy, delicious meal made with real ingredients (and printed on the label which I appreciate!) for less than takeout or eating out. The portions are very large and even for my hungry family we usually have plenty of leftovers which is awesome. Plus, the best part: they deliver!! Other meal prep companies don't offer this and you have to go pickup but with Beehive you just put a cooler out on your porch and they drop off all the meals contact-free and then you put in your freezer. Amazing . We've loved all the meals - even my kids are fans. My favorite was the artichoke chicken but we've also gotten and loved the creamy lemon chicken, cashew chicken, chicken tacos. read more

I really wanted to love beehive because of the convenience but our experience wasn't the best. First of all, the portion sizes are ridiculously small. It would say on the bag that there were three or four servings of one and a half cups, but we would maybe get 3 cups total out of the whole meal. That's my biggest complaint. Most of the meals were tasty but there were definitely a few duds with zero flavor. read more

Great value for the price. Hearty food in hefty quantities. Other than their creamy alfedo dishes I think I like every dinner, some being downright exceptional. But more than anything I love the delivery model, and frozen meals is soooo much better than home chef or blue apron. I'm not looking for a date night, I want something I can throw in my slow cooker before I go to bed and it's ready when I wake up. Beehive rocks. read more

I love the idea. We are a family of four since I have a daughter in college. Me and my husband, then a 13,10 year old. So I thought I'll pick the 3-4 servings package since I have a really picky son. Now I understand that it's not a complete meal. I did the bang bang chicken for my first meal. I was SHOCKED when I took it out of the package and put it in my crockpot. It was one chicken breast total. How is one chicken breast supposed to feed 3 to 4 people. Also chicken cooks down and its weight when cooked. It did not even feed me, my husband and my 13 year old. I will say the chicken and sauce were delicious. But I had to run to the grocery store and buy more chicken to put in the meal. I contacted customer service about my experience and told them how disappointed I was and they offered me a $25 gift card on my next order. That is all they did. Their customer service is just as bad as their portion sizing. They stated they go by USDA's recommendation which is .25 of a pound or 4 ounces of meat per person for dinner. That is not realistic. It is not stated on their website anywhere the customer service rep gave me this information. I looked all through their website and that is not stated, if that would've been stated I would've gone for the bigger package the 5 to 6 person meal since it was $30 more. I now have meals for two people instead of three and four people, and I now have to go buy more food to go with the nails that I've already purchased to make a dinner for my family and it ended up costing me more money. It was just an awful experience. I will never do it again and nor do I recommend them to anyone. read more

I loved it for postpartum. It made dinners easier then. Now I don't think we will keep ordering. Reading the ingredients list in their meals is shocking. I was wondering why I started to feel nauseous (like my IBS was acting up) and now I know why. There are a handful of meals that are too spicy for little ones, like the butter chicken and salsa verde. We also receive a meal with sausage that had gone bad. read more

I really enjoy cooking so I was hesitant to try Beehive Meals as I am picky on flavor and cuts of meat. I have enjoyed cooking these meals as a supplement to always having to cook a full dinner. It's nice to pull it out of the freezer and put it in the crockpot and let it cook during the day. We usually will add pasta, rice or whatever suggestion for each meal along with fresh fruit and vegetables. The serving size allows for us to have leftovers for a couple days which gives us a break from cooking as well. I would recommend to any family looking to eat more at home without a lot of extra work. We have enjoyed the varieties we have tried so far. read more

Beehive Meals has been a miracle for our family. They always provide delicious food that I can just stick in the crock pot and leave to cook all day. The instructions on each package are concise and easy to follow, and the side suggestions are super helpful. Our super picky toddler has even enjoyed many of these meals with us!

Not to mention supporting a locally owned, small business AND saving hundreds of dollars in grocery bills ... what more could you want! read more
