This is the most amazing service EVER!! Louis our Chef is unbelievable and my kids LOVED everything. This is definitely worth every penny and I have ZERO clean up. Louis left my kitchen spotless. He and Dinner Elf are my heroes!! This is better than Uber! Just saying. read more

The food was delicious, the kitchen sparkled, and the entire experience was as easy as could be. I love that they offer an organic offering. Highly recommend this service. And, most importantly, the service was excellent. You can tell a lot about an organization by how they handle a problem. We had an incident where there was an error on the website, resulting in food that was prepared that couldn't be eaten. We discovered it through our conversation with Darin and Jesse, and by that evening the website was adjusted and Jesse personally delivered replacement food to me the next day. The responsiveness of the entire team to the experience was really wonderful, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this organization. read more

Dinner elf has been great for us - Mandy is our elf and does a great job - she even leaves the kitchen cleaner than she got it! The food has been yummy and there's lots of variety to choose from. read more

We love elf Samantha. She is punctual and professional. On top of that her food is delicious. I usually spend the same amount when I shop at wholefoods if not more. So for me it worth it. Plus I get more time with my kiddos. Thank you Samantha. read more

We love our dinner elf! Chef Nicole is fantastic. I can't believe I waited so long to try this service. It's easy and the whole family loves it! Big thumbs up for Chef Nicole! read more

Love that this service exists. Super affordable compared to ordering in or eating out. Michael is our regular chef and he nails it every time. He's super efficient and gets it done consistently each and every time. read more

Chef Michael prepared excellent three meals for us. The food was superb and Michael was fast and super efficient in my tiny kitchen. I look forward to more meals from Michael! Dinner Elf has some really tasty and interesting meal selections, and the convenience can't be beaten. There is nothing better than sitting down at the table and eating great food that you didn't have to prepare yourself. read more

What I like about Dinner Elf is that it marks off the boxes that I value in meals: 1) Eating with my family at the dinner table; 2) Eating healthy home cooked food; 3) Saving the valuable time three nights a week not cooking and cleaning - instead we spend it helping the kids with homework and other things, since my husband and I both work full-time 4) Cost effective. When I did the analysis, I was spending the same amount on groceries as I do now on groceries + Dinner Elf, but my grocery cart has gotten smaller (time saver...) and I don't waste so much food. Wednesday night would arrive and we didn't cook b/c we were pooped, and we'd get unhealthy fast food or other stuff - which messed up our budget and we often tossed unused veggies I never cooked. Yep, it is working quite well (I say as I am snacking on last night's Dinner Elf meatballs..) read more

This has changed my life!! I highly recommend Dinner Elf for busy parents. Mandy came with her ingredients and a bouquet of flowers for me. Two hours later, I had three fabulous, healthy dinners waiting for us, and the portions were large enough to take leftovers for lunch the following day (we ordered the family plan). I could not recommend this service more - this is a wonderful concept that has been impeccably executed. No more food wasted in the fridge, no more hassle for weeknight dinners, and I get to spend more time with my family. Love it ! read more

Use code X1777 to save $10 on your first order! My dinner elf just left and you better believe I reopened every single container and tasted all of it. Everything is SUPER tasty! I have to admit I was skeptical. Not to toot my own horn or anything but even I would be nervous to cook for someone who had a culinary background. The process is simple. I scheduled my appointment for today just yesterday and picked 3 dinners: italian meatballs w/zucchini noodles, pepper steak w/coconut jasmine rice, and balsamic glazed pork medallions w/ spinach, berry & goat cheese salad. Samantha (who was very friendly!) arrived with all of the ingredients and cooked and cleaned everything in 1.5 hours. For a busy mom with a newborn that cooks 5-6 nights a week, this is a lifesaver for a much needed break. It's so easy... it's dangerous for my bank account. Try it and use my code X1777 so we can both save money on our next dinners! You're welcome! read more

Tried for the first time and it was a terrific experience. Super-easy to signup and schedule, very fast and easy to use website. Then, as the scheduled day approached, was texted helpful reminders of the scheduled time; then "I'm doing the shopping"; then "I'm on my way"; then, "Your food is cooked!", including a photo. Great experience all 'round! read more

We have been using Dinner Elf for over a year and it is a life saver! Michael comes in and works his magic in the kitchen. I love that I don't have to grocery shop and I just open the fridge in the evenings to dinner in my own home. Michael is a great. read more

Samantha was really great - fast and efficient - and will definitely be having her back again! Thanks so much for making our week easier with no cooking!!! read more

Chef Darin has cooked for us twice now and we've signed up for the weekly service. He comes while I'm working and when I get home, the fridge is stocked with delicious, healthy meals that my preschoolers love. And my kitchen is clean - usually cleaner than when we left that morning. I don't think it could get any better! read more

Wonderful company, great food & Elf Mel is the best. Love this service. You pick out your menu, let the elf in, they cook & clean the pots & pans they used & put yummy meals in your frig & leave. Don't know what I would do without them. read more

This service is AWESOME! We used it for a friend who'd recently had out of town surgery and the last thing they needed to be worrying about was meal planning. It was so easy to take planning/shopping/prep off their hands. I created the meal fundraising site in a couple of minutes, submitted it and by that evening had funds pouring in from our friends and family. SOOOO EASY! Love this service! read more

This is the best idea yet!! I wish I knew about this service sooner! I love the food options, the prompt customer service, friendly user website and the quality of the food! My wonderful Elf, Gabrielle, is excellent!!! I highly recommend her if you're looking for an experienced professional chef. Thank you so much for making my life a little bit easier!! I'm looking forward to our next meal. Oh, I forgot to mention the cost and time you'll save by using this service. It's a no brainer. You don't have to worry about traffic, grocery lines, preparing the food and clean up!! Once you try it, you'll never go back ;) read more

Darin did an excellent job on the three occasions that we had him out. He came in with all the groceries and supplies he needed and set to work making us delicious food. Customer Support has also been excellent when we had to make some changes to our order. Setting the menu is very easy after the first time you sit down to chose which meals you're interested in. Overall, I highly recommend them. This is a good, local company with nice people. read more

I'm in love! Amazing service for busy families. Nicole did an amazing job. Food was great, kitchen was spotless now I understand what my friend was raving about. Yay! read more

Love Chef Mandy with Dinner Elf, she is just like an elf and magically arrived in your kitchen and in less than 2 hours you have 3 delicious meals cooked, and a clean kitchen. I received Dinner Elf as a gift, as I'm recovering from surgery. It's been a huge blessing read more

We just started using Dinner Elf and couldn't be happier with the price, food, and convenience. Not only was the food excellent this past week but the chef is fast, friendly, and left our kitchen spotless! We are weekly subscribers and can't wait for next weeks meals! read more

After tasting Dinner Elf food and getting to meet one of the original elves at a work function, I have given Dinner Elf as a gift several times, but we finally tried it for ourselves last night. I really like to cook and meal plan, but knowing this week would be a little crazy, I anticipated us getting takeout at least 3 times for dinner, so we decided to experiment with Dinner Elf instead. We spent about as much as we would spend eating 3 takeout dinners, but we have lots of portions and had plenty for breakfast this morning and probably a lunch or two as well. (The Breakfast For Dinner menu made it really easy to plan for quick and delicious french toast this morning!) Now we are planning on subscribing to monthly service so we can treat ourselves to a break from meal-planning and prep on a predictable schedule, rather than getting overwhelmed and resorting to less healthy takeout food for its convenience. Extra perks - my curious kids enjoyed the novelty of having a new person working in the kitchen and Chef Jenn was great - she remained focused and efficient while very nicely letting them taste ingredients and showing them her knife skills. And she left the kitchen cleaner than she found it, with everything put back in its place (I expected she might leave things on the drying rack, but nope, it was all dried and put away) and the food was packaged in ready-to-heat portions with sauces separate and clearly labeled. Also, the containers they leave are reusable and the next time you book them, they will reuse them if you want so you don't build up a ton of containers - love that efficiency and less waste. Awesome first experience...and EXACTLY what we need for elderly family members, if they expand to San Antonio! read more
