This is my first time trying a meal delivery service. I am just about to start a major kitchen reno…read moreand didn't want to eat take out every single night, so I decided to give Chef Swole a try before the reno starts. I have to say, my husband and I are VERY pleased and have gone past our one week "trial run" and are now entering our third week. First, I feel like I spend wayyyy more money than this at Whole Foods every week, and only get a few meals out of it. Second, I am a working mom, and by the time I get home after being stuck in traffic, cooking is the last thing I want to do. Dinner is done, and I can spend more time with my daughter when I get home. Third, the food is really, really good. Ingredients are high quality and what I'd make at home if I had the time. Fourth, portions are awesome. We signed up for the deluxe, and I split my meal with my daughter (15 months old) and I am more than full. My husband is always full off of one meal too. Sometimes for lunch we will even split a container in half and be fine (and we get more meals out of it!)

I've ordered 3x now I believe and I would have to say the last delivery was the absolute best. I…read morelove Asian foods and he hit it out the park that week. Food taste: In other weeks, I've had to add my own sauces. I always order the deluxe portion for 20% more food because the regular size is too small for me. I cook and add more veggies because most prepared foods don't give me enough. The only thing I needed to add to these last meals were a pinch of salt, but this makes sense because the food is made for all types of people. Delivery: I love the fact that the food is delivered to my doorstep. They deliver on Sundays and seem to be providing service every other week now. There are 4 options available but you can adjust how many servings you want of each meal. Service: No issues and I get a prompt response each time.

As Alyssa H. pointed out in earlier this year, this company is now only a shadow of it's former…read moreself. Now run out of Philadelphia, it has incurred higher transportation costs for customers in Northern Virginia, and the quality of the food leaves much to be desired. Previously, the membership included 'Pantry Items' as a bonus, and included a huge selection, but not anymore!! The quality of the food has gone down as well. My last order included a Chicken Pot Pie that just had an inflated crust, not even a 1/4 lb. of chicken, and also I had ordered two 2 lb. beef briskets for grilling, that had over 12 0z. of fat on each brisket, combined, almost 2 lbs. of fat, that was concealed in the packaging from the labeling, premium pricing though!! Do yourself a favor, buy a freezer at Costco, and a vacuum food sealer, and purchase Kirkland Select and bag/freeze yourself.

In the beginning, this company was about family and providing them with healthier than store bought…read morealternatives. Their customer service and offerings were top notch. We have been with them for 9 years now, and I can honestly say they have sold out and became just another corporate run money grab. They got rid of all the bonus points and rewards they used to offer. Their product is packaged in the worst possible way now, and I have no words for what they are passing as chicken wings. I'm so disgusted and disappointed. I don't think I can post pictures here but I absolutely do NOT recommend these guys any more. I hope the original owners know what they are doing to the good name they established all those years ago, this is NOT the same company.
