He and his daughter - both lovely people - prepared a large seafood paella and a smaller vegetarian one. They said dinner would be ready by 7:30 and it was exactly that! I called a few caterers for prices and offerings and Star was the only one to include fried plantains that were excellent. Salad too. They set up and packed out efficiently, brought a tent to cover the cooking area during a passing storm, and offered to take photos of our group at the end! Very nice family-owned business.

The flavor alone deserves its own shoutout...seriously, SO good (and yes, I'll say it again... the flavor!!). On top of that, the macros are spot on, which makes staying on track effortless. Delivery has been smooth and reliable, and the variety is a huge win. I was previously using another local meal prep service that just didn't cut it. There were limited options and the taste was only okay. FitEx has been a complete upgrade in every way. I have already recommended it to 3 other people. I'm genuinely excited to keep ordering, and FitEx Meals is definitely becoming a staple in our fridge!

I've been stopping by here on and off over the past year. It is located in a very non-descript…read morestorefront, but it is so convenient that they are open 7 days a week, since Sundays are a good day for me to run errands. Inside is just a front counter with a microwave on it and the register. To the right of the door are two freezer/coolers that hold all the meals available. On the left they have a bunch of different protein bars. They usually have a wide variety of entrees, a few breakfasts, an overnight oat, and one, maybe two protein desserts. All of their entrees seem to be between 400-500 calories, with anywhere from 30 - 45 grams of protein. I love that every entree is tagged with all that information, plus the expiration date, although I wish that some of the entrees included what exactly was in them. For that, you have to ask the guy working the counter. Four entrees usually cost around $48 with tax. I have tried many different things but so far my favorite has been the tacos and salmon. These are the perfect meal when you don't feel like cooking; each meal heats up in the microwave in about 2 minutes. Make sure you register for their points program - I've already earned $5 off my next visit.

First time back after awhile and not a good experience. Placed order to go on GrubHub at 5:49. It…read moregave me a pickup time of 6:30. Got there around 6:05 and checked in. He said 20 minutes. Our food for two people finally came out at 7:02 (1 hr 13 m). It was Friday night, but they should be staffed appropriately. A couple who said they were regulars came ordered and walked out with their meals in 10 minutes. Huh? The temperature inside the restaurant was 88 degrees (see pic of thermostat). People were waiting outside where it was 90 because at least there was a breeze. Felt sorry for the two guys working there. The one guy (Adam) was super apologetic and made several nice gestures to make things better realizing I waited over an hour. Nice touch and the only reason my rating wasn't one star. Food: I ordered the onion ring burger half pounder. Bun was good, but wet by the time I got home to eat it. Condiments were good. The beef seemed low grade and a bit fatty. 3 of 5. My wife got the chicken gyro. Said it was good with no complaints and plenty of food. 4 of 5. Crinkle cut fries. They weren't fresh, some burnt. 0 of 5 Two chef salads...4 of 5 No napkins, forks, ketchup for fries...and no mention they weren't in the takeout bag. 0 of 5 Inside the restaurant was not clean or organized. Would not recommend eating in there. So overall...good amount of food for the price. Terrible on the wait. Food quality fair to average. Next door to movie theater. So many other choices...

We ordered Big City Grill through UberEats. Every Tuesday, my fiance and I have dinner night…read more Typically, we cook for each other but in the time of coronavirus, we have been participating in the #takeouttuesday campaign. After finally narrowing down what we wanted to eat, my fiance suggested Big City Grill. I've never seen this place, never been there, never heard of it. The UberEats menu looks a little different from the menu on their website but the prices match up. I had to look at both menus at the same time to make sure I was picking the right item on the UberEats app. I placed the order around 6pm via the app while I was at work. I scheduled the order for delivery between 7:15pm and 7:45pm. I arrived at my fiance's house around 7:30pm and the food was there waiting for me! My fiance said it arrive around 7:15pm, so the delivery was prompt. I ordered a double angus burger with cheese. The burger doesn't come with sides but it was less than $8 to begin with it. My fiance ordered the buffalo chicken salad with the meat and dressing on the side as a special instruction. We were glad to see the special instruction was followed. The burger was really good. It was cooked well-done, no pink at all but wasn't dry. It wasn't overly seasoned but it had a good taste and to me, seemed to be good quality meat. The condiments were fresh. I asked for extra pickles and that's what I got. The side of onion rings were crispy and tasty. Not greasy. Other reviews said the onion rings traveled better than the fries for delivery. Fries don't do well with delivery from anywhere really. My fiance's salad was good she said. It was large and came with an ample amount of buffalo chicken. At the end of the evening, we were satisfied with our meal. It was delivered quickly and was still fresh. The quality and taste was good and the whole meal, with delivery, came to less than $30. Big City Grill is a solid choice for a delivery meal.

Trying to be the best example I can be, fast food is the last choice on my list to feed everyone as I don't always have the time to cook a good, healthy meal. Mind over matter to the rescue! Not only can I satisfy everyone's picky palates, I can fulfill my protein goals and keep the carbs (simple carbs of course, ha!) Low. And for those of you who are obsessive with macro counting like me, the macro count is clearly found on the label. These "healthy" meals are still tasty and love that they don't have that "preservatives frozen meal" taste. The meals are about $10 a piece but you're paying for convenience as well as "healthy". Health is wealth. Healthier foods are always going to be more costly. You have the option of delivery but why pay the extra fee when they have so many locations to pick up from. Can't make it during their hours of pick up? No problem. Just shoot them a message and they make it convenient for you. Oh and the lovely little boxes the meals come in? Reusable! So if you ever decide to get into meal prep yourself, (good luck with that! Lol!), you can save these little boxes for that or use them as left over containers for your relatives at the holidays.
