Also ordered side of corn bread(couldn't turn that down, need a carb that i can sink my teeth into). When i opened up my container of food a chorus was singing in my head due to my overwhelming happiness of food I'm going to enjoy. Oxtail, soo tender it was fall off the bone. Soo savory w/ gravy, then w/ the collard greens, I'm all smacking my lips enjoying every bite. The whole meal was delicious, next time I would love to try the pork chops, sweet potatoes but that will be another time. I soo recommend this place, ORDER!

The fried chicken and BBQ ribs don't taste the same. All the sides are bland; where's the seasoning? Is this even from Hard Knox? Look at how my candied yams and the collard greens are. The disrespect, a Waste of my money! Warning: do not order from this location.

This was my first experience using a private chef and I am so glad I chose Melissa. She was…read moreextremely responsive via email, but also willing to have a phone call when desired to help talk through planning. It was clear from early on she was knowledgeable in her trade and had great questions and tools to help guide us along. We wanted to do an Italian dinner for my dad's 70th birthday, and Italian showed up as one of Sweet Melissa's specialities when searching on Yelp-score! She provided me a sample menu with many delicious sounding options, but also was willing to customize to my dad's favorites. I host parties a lot and you sometimes don't really get to enjoy the event as you are working to get everything ready for your guests. Hiring Melissa allowed us to just enjoy the celebration. All we had to do was clear some space for her to work and she did the rest. She arrived about an hour and a half before the event to do her prep. She was as lovely as could be as was her assistant. The food courses were nicely timed with our three appetizers of brie and pear crostini, shrimp scampi bites, and caprese skewers ready as guests arrived and socialized. All three were delicious, but glad I listened to her recommendation on the crostini as it was so good. Everyone commented on how amazing the house smelled as they arrived. It was also fun watching her work in your house and getting freshly made food! Next was the big buffet of Caesar salad, pesto and tomato basil sauces pastas, roasted brussel sprouts with pancetta, chicken parmigiana, and Italian sausages in a balsamic reduction. The spread was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. There was plenty of food for all and I got such amazing feedback from our guests on how everything tasted. I would normally not of picked the Italian sausage in onions, roasted grapes, and balsamic wine reduction but Melissa told me it was one of her favorites dishes, and I think it turned out to be mine! So unique, so tasty and well executed. I had never had Italian sausages like that before, but hope to again. I honestly could say amazing things about everything we had. Melissa did not misrepresent herself in saying Italian is her specialty. My dad was SO happy and felt this evening was so special. Goal achieved! After the meal, she cleaned up so well you honestly would of never known she was there. This also included her boxing up any leftovers for us, which was a nice touch. Not having a big clean up to do after hosting the event was also amazing. I wish I could have a private chef everyday! But I highly suggest doing this at least for a special occasion and recommend doing it with Melissa. From looking at her website, she does all kinds of other cuisines that also sound delicious. She helped create the special, personalized, and delicious evening we were looking for!

I can't speak highly enough about Melissa and her personal chef service, but I'm going to give it a…read morego! We wanted to do something special for a milestone birthday party for our dad, and he just absolutely loves Italian food, particularly chicken parmigiana. We shopped around for anything from catering to personal chefs specializing in Italian food, and decided a private dinner made fresh in house was just the ticket. Melissa was very responsive via email, and indicated that Italian is one of her specialties. She worked with us to create a menu Dad would love, blending her own suggestions with a couple of special requests from us. On the day, Melissa and her staff arrived on time and got right to work preparing everything in our kitchen with a little help from her own tools. Throughout the event, she kept the space clean, the food line filled, and even did some bussing at the dinner table. She was exceptionally personable with us and the guests, and when she left, there was absolutely zero work for us to do. She cleaned everything, packed up all leftovers and stocked our fridge, and took out all trash. As far as the taste of the food, absolutely no complaints on this end! We had appetizers of shrimp scampi and caprese skewers while everyone arrived, and then flowed into a buffet style dinner. We opted for a ready-dressed Caesar salad, and her homemade dressing was spot on. For dinner, the highlight for dad was the chicken parm. Everyone had a wonderfully breaded chicken cutlet, adorned with fresh mozzarella and topped with a very tasty marinara. This along with her delicious take on Italian sausage in a reduced wine, grape, and balsamic sauce were amazing proteins. Pasta was plentiful as an accompaniment, both a fusilli pesto and papardelle noodles in marinara. For some veggies, she did a wonderful roast brussel sprouts with pancetta and balsamic. We had cake and ice cream for dessert, but I have no doubt if we'd asked her to do that, it would have been amazing too. All in all, I absolutely recommend using Sweet Melissa's for your personal chef and catering needs, you can rest assured you're making the right decision!

I actually look forward to eating these as opposed to the somewhat bland other delivery services I've tried. I don't understand the bad reviews-- the app is much more user-friendly so try that.

For people saying "unclear billing" they have a Charges tab that shows exactly what you're being billed for delineated by item... Other than the plastic waste (comes with the territory) I honestly have no qualms, I will be continuing with them for awhile! My new fav delivery service.

The food was decent, but the packaging was a dealbreaker. Every single item comes in a non-reusable plastic container. Even setting aside environmental concerns, the sheer volume of waste was unmanageable: my garbage goes out every other week and was already full. The cost also didn't pencil out. Even with the discount, Thistle ran more than what I currently spend eating out for the same number of meals, and it didn't reduce my grocery bill either.

If it were busy, then I get it, but it wasn't, so what the fuck is their problem? Maybe customer service isn't high on their priorities. Or they just suck. When I finally get my order, it's feeling particularly light. And for good reason : they took one serving of chow mein and placed it in 2 togo containers and gave no chicken whatsoever. Okay, maybe one small sliver cut into 2 pieces total. 2 for 1, my ass. If they meant 2 containers equalling 1 serving, then they totally nailed it. Why? Why the attitude? Why are you ripping me off? Why when you're not even the best place to eat on that block? Oh yeah, the Ambiance? Also sucked. Food is alright.
