I was always a little skeptical because I've tried a couple other meal prep locations, and the taste was just not there. Since it was Devour Indy and you could get four for $20, I thought this was my chance to give them a try. Let's start with the service. The two individuals working when I stopped in Sunday were very friendly and also very helpful. When you walk in, there are a bunch of freezers to your right. The meals are all lined up and easy to see nutritional value through the glass front freezers. Not much to the place. Freezers and some shelves with a few drinks and snacks. But it was very clean. Now, for the important part: taste. I was very impressed with the taste of the walking tacos! Everything tasted fresh. It had a slight kick, which I enjoyed not spicy just a little kick. I would give it a nine out of 10! Nine because the lime was inside the tray, which made it mushy when warming it up . But that will not stop me from ordering this again. I thought it was a good portion and filling. read more

I am so glad my husband heard about you on the radio. I have celiac disease and have to be gluten free. I am a very good cook so when he brought these home I was leary. Pleasantly surprised how great and flavorful these meals are. He also eats the gluten free and regular meals you have and we are both so happy with these. I now don't have to cook every meal. We have been back twice and will continue to purchase these delicious meals. read more

So many options of different entrees to choose from! And the portion size is perfect. The staff here is super friendly and helpful with recommendations, but really there are so many options it's really whatever your tastebuds are craving. I ended up picking up 5 different entrees and every single one of them have been delicious. read more

Great food, great staff up at the Clearwater store and pretty affordable. The Mac meals kill it with the shredded pork and beef, Quesabirra is amazing, love the Backyard BBQ, and the pot roast reminds me of my mom's. Their pizzas are awesome too, The Big Herc rules! read more

I don't like to heat food in plastic containers so I tried the steam instructions which did not work as well as I'd hoped. I have used other prepared meal services that use aluminum which is my preference. But I love the nutrition information and the ability to choose based on my dietary restrictions. read more

Doesn't even provide heating instructions on their labels, microwave is empty. If they can't even get their packaging correct, you really think the macros on the food are accurate? Seems like the quality has gone down, which makes sense considering the Devour Indy got shrunk from 4 to 3 meals. Hopefully they get replaced by a better competitor! read more

Herculean Meal Prep - Missing instructions - Health Markets Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Place is amazing! great options, great taste, even for picky eaters! excited to get more!

Overall I like the meals. Every now and then it's a miss. For example the chicken and dumplings is a hard no for me. I'm not a picky person that's why these work for me but not my husband. There are a couple others that aren't great but you'll have that. I keep going back for the convenience. I avoid the ones high in sodium. read more

Herculean Meal Prep - Chicken and dumplings. Biscuit was hard and this is thigh meat but imo not good thigh meat. - Health Markets Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

This place has me so spoiled, I have tried a few other meal prep companies and none compare to the taste, pricing, portions, and the shipping as Herculean. I can place my order on Tuesday and have my food by Friday. Definitely make sure to check out this place you will not be sorry read more

Heard about these this place from my friends who are lifters. Decided to pick up 4 different meals during their devour Indy 4 for $20 deal. I got the Bison burger bowl, the Jambalaya, ghost pepper pork Mac n cheese, and the chicken parm. All the meals were good! Microwaved them for 4 minutes and it was perfect. Pretty good macros for the meals as well. However these are normally anywhere from $7-10 depending on how many you buy. I'd be hard pressed to spend that much on a microwaveable meal, but I'm someone that's used to meal prepping. Also for the price it isn't a ton of food. For someone who doesn't like cooking but wants to be healthy it would be nice to keep a stash of these in your freezer to eat a balanced meal in a pinch. I recommend buying a few and trying them out! read more

I was here to get a burger at Clancy's and walked by Herculean. I walked through but wanted to bring my wife back before making a purchase. Everything looked like great options. When I brought her back, we looked at the options and decided to buy a variety. I really didn't look at anything closely other than the calories which are prominently posted on the front of the package. When I got to the checkout, I thought they were expensive but they offered that there was a price break at 7. Once I got them home, we have been eating them this week. Every one can be microwaved in 3 minutes and 45 seconds. If you're like me and working at home some days and on videoconferencing back to back, these are a great way to make lunch and get back to work. They've helped me enforce portion control which is always a love/hate thing but they are doing the healthy thing. Where I initially thought these were expensive, they are still cheaper than driving and grabbing lunch somewhere. They are more expensive than microwaving junk but they are significantly healthier so this is a case of getting what you pay for. I'll definitely be repeating. These give me variety and health and are still a fair value. read more

My partner and I have stopped cooking because Herculean just makes so much more sense for us. It's convenient, healthy, and delicious. They have a lot of different options and are always changing it up so you don't get tired of eating the same things all the time. read more

I was first introduced to Herculean Meal Prep by my gym (Orangetheory Fitness). I love the meals. They aren't salty and the flavor sits inside of the food, meaning it's probably been marinated. The meals range between $8-$9 per meal. They come with all of the nutritional facts on the package. Herculean has been one of the most tasty and healthy meal prep services I've used. They also give great recommendations for adding more flavor to the meals. My fave meals are the chicken teriyaki, turkey chili, sunshine beef, peanut butter chicken, and the steak/egg/potatoes. The staff at Herculean are very knowledgeable, and will give you their personal recommendations. They're usually right. The meals can be frozen for up to one year and they usually come with an expiration date. read more

I like some of these meals but I am disappointed that many have so many carbs and also, I wish they would include the breakdown of saturated fat, total sugars, fiber and added sugar so that I can evaluate Weight Watcher points. read more

Tried the Steak & Potatoes, did the same 3:45 time as stated and the Steak was dry and some pieces were entirely inedible. I don't know if I got a bad batch but would not order this one again. read more

I use their Fort Wayne, IN storefront and I enjoy and appreciate the simplicity of their design/decoration. Their food is AHHMAZING! Simple, delicious, and fulfilling/satisfying. Their macros are just as awesome It's good to know that when I wake up early to go to work, I am grabbing and go meals that are healthy and satisfying. Sunshine Beef, teriyaki chicken, chicken sausage breakfast - these are phenomenal. read more

100% love this place. It's pricey. But it's worth it for quality. I used another meal prep company and got food poisoning so it sent me on a search. So try local! Definitely not disappointed with the serving portions or taste. Has helped me get my diet back on track and it's delicious! Staff is always super friendly and helpful at both the north side and garage hall locations. read more

I went to Herculean for the first time and can't wait to get back to grab some more meals. I'm traveling and have a full agenda so I figured why not get some meal prep! I put the food in an insulated bag in my carry on and I was good to go. The shop was immaculate. I was shown the setup of the meals and given best sellers. The teriyaki chicken is fire!!! read more

I stumbled onto this meal prep storefront while buying a couch in the same center. I stopped in, and found out it was a grab and go frozen meal prep store. I grabbed a few entrees to try, and am super pleasantly surprised. Even though the entrees are frozen, everything tasted super fresh, and the quality is better than many restaurants. So far the street corn chicken is my favorite. I will definitely be a regular customer here. As an added bonus, it is locally owned, and it always feels good to support local independent businesses. overall...I highly recommend. read more

I live in northern Virginia and was researching meal delivery to Whiteland, Indiana, where my elderly mom lives. I came across Herculean Meal Prep . I read the reviews about the customer service and the chef prepared meals. Everything I was reading was great . I was a little nervous about placing an order because my mom is a picky eater. After receiving an email from Herculean that with my first order i would receive one free meal . I decided to place an order for delivery of 14 meals . My mom received her meals . She can't stop talking about how delicious the food is . Thank you, Herculean , great job! read more

I ordered the minimum 14 entree's. So far I'm 0-4. The food that I have tried so far has an unusual "preservative" like taste. Unfortunately the remaining dinners are going to the landfill. read more

Eww, that's what goes through my mind every time I take a bite of one of these meals. I'm new to Indianapolis, but used a meal prep meals in my old town. I was excited to find Herculean because it reminded me of my previous way of life. Last week I walked into Herculean and happily bought 21 meals. I looked over the menu and found a few meals that seemed tasty. The menu did lack vegan options which was surprising. Anyways, the store provided a check list which I filled out. A few minutes later, the saleslady had my meals nicely packaged. I asked if I should puncture the meal before microwaving and was told no. All I need to do is cook for 3:30. While I was in the store, another customer suggested I buy sugarless BBQ sauce since the meat can be dry. I guess that should have been a lightbulb, but it wasn't. Over $150 later, I was on my at home with tons of meals and bbq sauce. I was excited to try my first meal! First meal I tried was the chicken pesto. So it was small, but I guess that normal. I put it in the microwave and I was ready to eat. The meal was chicken pesto, rice and green beans. So the greens beans were flavorless, but okay. The rice was rice. The chicken was chewy. Not a good chewy, but a gross chewy. Yuck. I couldn't taste any pesto. I barely could find any pesto sauce. Overall I give the meal a 3 out of 10. I wouldn't want to eat it everyday, but I would eat it if I was starving. Next day I tried the BBQ salmon. I microwaved and took one bite. I immediately had to throw it away. Yuckkk, Gross. Don't even try it. Actually, if you would like to try it- let me know. I have a freezer full of meals that's I'll never eat. I don't even feel comfortable donating these meals because they are gross. So let me know if you would like one and you can pick it up. HercuLean will make you lean from throwing up your meals. Probably not a safe way to lose weight, but to each his own. read more

This place is great. At first, I was nervous to try it out, as I saw some reviews that said the meals are low on flavor. I just have one question for those people - which meal were ya'll eating?? I've really enjoyed pretty much every meal that I've had from Herculean! Not only are they tasty/flavorful, but they're also extremely low in calories. And surprisingly, for being SO low in calories, they're darn filling. They don't skimp on the protein. I'm also not a big vegetable eater, so these meals ensure that I have at least a FEW vegetables in my life. Bravo. My mom would be happy. Some oh my favorite meals are: steak and eggs (SO flavorful), pork carnitas, walking taco, jambalaya (pretty darn spicy, but good), buffalo chicken mac & cheese, and pulled pork mac & cheese. I eat all of those on the regular. Fabulous! read more

I've been eating HMP meals off/on for a couple of years but have really been focused and dedicated for the last 2 weeks. I love them more and more with every new menu item I try. Current favorites include the buffalo Mac and cheese and the naked egg roll! Love having Herculean to help me reach my health goals. read more

Haven't had a bad meal yet ! Moved from Indy to Las Vegas. Had to have my Herculean. Great shipping containers. Still as fresh as always. Nutritious and healthy. Portion control is great for my diet. Will continue to order. Love the food . Thanks for bringing back the turkey chili. read more

The meals are delicious. I looked at maybe three after I warmed them and knew I wasn't going to like them. WRONG. My only problem is I'm a big eater so I have to add rice or pasta w/the meals. Other than that, I no longer have to worry about what I'm going to have for dinner, how long it's going to take to make, etc. I feel this company is a blessing from God to me, I love their story and bon appetit everybody. read more

As a college student I've been buying Herculean Meals for my fraternity house. The 35 meals that I buy at a time are gone within 12 hours. I'm not saying that my frat bros have the most refined taste buds, but they are choosing a Herculean Meal that contains rice and broccoli over mini corn dogs and macaroni. Even the guys whose diet basically consists of dino nuggets, hot pockets, and pizza rolls were impressed by how good the healthy meat, bedding, and vegetables could taste. Confused by some of the other reviews I'm reading about no taste or bad taste. Add some sauce? If these guys who only eat a vegetable when it comes distilled in a glass rave about the meals, you should love them. The menu is always evolving and even though that means losing some great meals, (RIP turkey meatball) the meals they have recently added have been unbelievable. My current favorites are BBQ Chicken, Totchos (11/10 unbelievable), and the Macs for when I need some soul food without feeling bad for it. Negatives: Sometimes they come a little thawed which is to be expected. Gotta make sure to put them in the freezer right away and then give them some time to refreeze. read more

These guys keep my body and bank account in check! I travel a significant amount for work so eating cleanly and often quickly is tough. Over the last couple months, I have been packing coolers with their meals. This has been a game changer. I am noticing a significant difference in how my body feels when I'm on the road, and the food choices I'm making over all. Staff is ultra friendly, non-judgmental, and knowledgeable. If you're on the fence about trying a meal prep service just stop in a grab a meal or two to try. The products and service will speak for themselves. read more

We love these meals! They are tasty and healthy! Love the set up at the Garage. Easy to access and great supply. I'm a big fan of prepared meals for my lunches during the week and these work great. read more

Love that there's a healthy/clean meal prep option in Indy. Nice variety of food. Awesome that they have the macro counts on the packaging so you know how much protein/carbs/fats you're getting. I just hate using microwaves, wish there was other options/suggestions for heating the food. (It's packaged in plastic so unless you transfer the food from original container to an oven-safe dish for heating, I don't think there are any other options.) read more

As good as all the reviews state. Went to the store today and picked out several options, and had my first meal for lunch. It was delicious and did not disappoint. read more

These guys legit changed the game of food and nutrition for me. This is my first time ordering from a meal prep company and I was very skeptical-mainly that I would not enjoy the food. I was not only wrong about that-I had an assumption on frozen food reheated that was inaccurate. This is delicious and i believe because it's "fresh" frozen it really does taste like it has just been cooked. I'm a single dad and very busy with work so this was absolutely instrumental for me to achieve my health/fitness goals. Thanks guys for making it easy, affordable and tasty. I will order until I have the time to prep for myself. With covid avoiding the grocery store is a plus so I will be a long term customer. Also I have literally not tried a meal I don't like. read more

Can't say enough good things about this place! The meals are tasty and filling! They have a great variety to choose from for breakfast lunch or dinner. What I like most about them are they're simple and don't try to overwhelm you with crazy concoctions. Just good clean simple food! If you want more zest or zip they have a wife stay of sauces available to purchase. These guys know their stuff, give them a try! read more

I was a little perplexed reading HercuLean's Yelp reviews. My experience is much different. I'd been looking for something like this for awhile. I want to eat healthy and don't always have time to meal prep. I started with the 7 Day Plan to give it a try. I'm 2 meals in and so far the meals are fantastic. I tried the turkey meatballs first and really enjoyed the flavor. It was obvious there were no fillers, just good clean food. Today I had the pulled pork and couldn't believe how lean it was. Any other would be greasy, but not HercuLean's. It's high quality food that is filling, clean and tastes amazing. I will be back for more! read more

The frozen meals were hit or miss , some I liked some not so much. But overall they are a decent product

I was recently gifted a nice spread of Herculean meals while on maternity leave. It was awesome to have delicious healthy meals on hand during a season when meal planning was not my top priority. My favorites were the Turkey Bolognese, Buffalo Mac N' Cheese, Salmon Pesto Pasta and the Pizza Bowl. Would highly recommend as a gift for a friend or family in need or simply for yourself! read more

Slowest delivery I have ever experienced. I place an order on Thursday and as of the projected delivery is tomorrow.

The meals are good but the in-store customer service is terrible. There was a lady working at the front who was not helpful and quite rude when we were checking out. The atmosphere in the store needs some work, it was not welcoming at all. I've enjoyed some of the meals, but definitely not enough to purchase from them again. Will be trying a new meal service from here on out. read more

I'm in Texas and ordered my first 14 meals. So good! Quick, easy, and delicious! Will be ordering again asap
