I've been using Top Chef to have prepared meals delivered to my client who cannot cook for himself. What I like is the wide range of dietary choices and preset suggested meals and combinations. My client is diabetic so ordering and reordering is easy thanks to this. There is a fair range of selections of entrees in the way of protein and vegetable sides. The meal portions are maybe slightly bigger than a lean cuisine so it may not be for everyone as those portions can be a bit meager. I had one of the meals that my client didn't want - pork tenderloin, carrots, and string beans. I heated it in the oven as recommended and the pork was not bad, nor were the beans. They went a bit heavy on the carrots though. This is only one meal of many however and my client overall has a favorable opinion of them, his favorite being the "American glazed meatloaf" Top Chef has come through in a big way for me with delivering about 2 weeks worth of meals for my client that come about three days after ordering it (If it isn't before the weekend). With the rising popularity of heat and eat and fast prep meal kits, like Hello Fresh, Blue Apron and more this is great for elderly, disabled or otherwise, perhaps people who have next to no time to cook. with a nice selection, good packaging, quick delivery and even a senior discount I'm very satisfied with Top Chef Meals. read more

I work late a lot and don't like to come home to cook. Thanks Top Chef my husband isn't starving Love the brisket and sliced steak! read more

I recieved my order as expected and on time 2 days ago. After trying 2 entrees, I am sold! Even the vegetarian stuffed portobello mushroom didn't feel like it was missing a protein. Really delicious, not overly salted and processed tasting like the usual frozen foods you'd buy in the supermarket or Trader Joe's (nothing against Trader Joe's. ) Top Chef Meals have great flavor and seasonings and tastes like real food that your best friend made and would send you home with! I am looking forward to trying different meals and future orders. I will also be adding some of the smoothies (vegan option), the banana bread muffins, and berry crisp to my next order. read more

Top Chef Meals - Pasta with Bolognese sauce and ratatouille side - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Elmsford, New York

After trying multiple food delivery companies we decided to try the precooked option. Have to say, we absolutely love Top Chef. The majority of their meals are low or moderate with sodium content and are truly a home run! I personally love to cook but have limited time to do it. Finding top chef has helped us eat nutritious meals that aren't skimpy on the items. It's awesome for couples who have different likes also. No need to compromise on meal planning. The variety of meals on the menu make dinner a fun experience. Also having it shipped frozen is the best option for us. No stress over trying to cook up raw ingredients. We would give them 10 stars read more

I wonder if something has changed since the review comparing these to frozen meals in the grocery store. That's what I thought I was getting and since I was picking only keto friendly meals I didn't feel cooking...I was ready to ignore the nasty and shovel them down. But they're effing delicious. They're actually real food that's cooked and sans grocery-store-type preservatives are flash frozen. You don't heat em up from frozen, you defrost like regular food and then microwave. You know they're not lying about it when the veggies come out like they've been freshly cooked. I've had 14 different meals and loved them all except the ahi tuna. I mean loved. Tasted like home cooked meals. What else can you ask for here?! That said you have to follow the heating instructions on the papers that come with your food and not on the containers or you'll over nuke and ruin the food. Why not stop putting those same labeled directions on everything?! read more

So this is my second week ordering for myself and first day for hubby, so far I've enjoyed the wide variety of food and all the meals are tasty. This service is so convenient and I look forward to continued business with them, one thing I wish I could have on paper maybe on the order summary is the calories for each line item, otherwise I'm extremely happy!!! I'll be back to reveiw as the weeks progress. read more

These meals are really great and I love the way I can customize the sides and all the paleo and keto options. They even have gluten free pancakes that don't taste gluten free at all. As a single person working long physical days, these were a godsend at dinner time. And I always felt full after one, even when having breakfast for dinner. So why only 3 stars? Because while they have got the food and customization down, their packaging is abysmal and downright dangerous. The frozen meals are placed in a cardboard box with an inch of carpet padding all around and a layer of dry ice on the bottom and top. Of 3 deliveries, only 1 arrived on time. Fed Ex arbitrarily delayed the last 2 by a day. All 3 boxes, even the one on time, arrived with the cardboard damp, misshapen, and the seams splitting, indicating a lot of thawing going on. The last shipment was during the recent heatwave and all 21 of my meals were thawed, liquidy, and squishy. The customer service rep kept trying to tell me that they packed extra dry ice in case of delays and that this food, which contained fish, crab, bacon, and eggs, was still safe to eat. However, while this box contained the most food I had ordered thus far, it also contained the least dry ice. Kelly, the service rep, assured me the manager would call me the next day but I never heard from him. A day and a half later I called back and this time the rep admitted they were having problems with food going bad in transit. This is not my first meal delivery service. Everyone else I have ordered from has used the biodegradable frozen gel packs and I have never received spoiled food before. I would go back to Top Chef in a heartbeat, if they would switch to the gel packs. The food is that good. But unless you live close to them, I would not feel safe eating their food as it is currently shipped. Top Chef, I would love to hear from you if you ever do fix your shipping issues. I really do love your food. read more

A+ on packaging and I like the fact that you can put the containers in the oven...but I'm sorry the meals in my opinion are really bland! Kind of reminded me of hospital food. I won't be ordering from them again. read more

I just discovered this service last week. I looked everywhere for low sodium prepared meals and this was the only company that offered that option. The food is tasty. Portions are good. For example, i had trouble finishing the meatballs, they were so huge. It beats take out a million times over! I love this service!! read more

I'm really disappointed in these meals. They're just like all of the other frozen meals you can buy in a grocery store. The food is watery, bland, and doesn't hold heat well. Portions are very small. I tried one week of the food but I won't reorder. read more

These are ... not bad. I mean, get real, they're frozen meals, they're not ever going to be gourmet. But if you're looking for an easy, relatively inexpensive, convenient way to get your meals-- this is a good one. I wouldn't say i enjoy the meals, but I can eat them so that's all I can ask for really. Some are better than others, and definitely DONT over microwave or the quality deteriorates rapidly. Solid 3/5. read more

This place is dirty and nasty they share there establishment with a dog food company there working conditions are horrible the facility is hot dirty nobody speaks English and they only hire cheap laborers with no United States citizenships there food quality is cheap so customers beware before you get sick read more

First order included 14 meals. The prices are excellent and the shipping to Nashville TN very convenient. Portions on sides are a little small. read more

These meals are absolutely delicious!! Being a college student it is so difficult to get fresh delicious meals on campus. There is nothing better than some homemade chicken parm or a nice steak to end my long school day. Most colleges take advantage of us by supplying us mandatory meal plans for poorly prepared food. Top chef meals actually makes me feel like I'm home eatting my parents cooking and its so affordable even on my fairly limited budget. A+ read more

This service started great in early 2018 however the quality has dropped off dramatically. My wife has gone back to school limiting the time to prepare and shop for food so we decided to try "Top Chef Meals". We really liked the idea of the meal being pre-prepared AND you could select what you wanted on the plate for the entree. We had tried numerous services that send the ingredients but the preparation time was too long for our schedule. Something has happened with "Top Chef Meals" as the quality has noticeable gone down-hill. The vegetables now consistently have a "smoked" smell to them and some actually taste rotten. THis was not the case a few months ago. We also noticed that they began removing some great items (the Tiramisu desert is gone). We are currently looking for a new service .... read more

This is a great service. Reasonable prices, and all meals can be totally customized. I order meals for my mom that meet her strict dietary needs, and I order for myself also. Huge variety of high quality meats, fish, vegetarian, etc. Diabetic, kidney, paleo etc., they do it all. Delivered to my door since I live nearby. The order process is easy, I can even do on my phone. This has been a huge convenience for me, as I was cooking mom's meals while working full time and facing other challenges of my own. Thank you Top Chef!!! read more

Thank you to the kind folk at Top Chef Meals! After much research on home delivery meals, I decided to go with TCM. I ordered food to be delivered to relatives out-of-state who were going through a death in the family and Top Chef was ready to help by delaying the order for a bit to accommodate the changed scheduled delivery. My family loves the selections and is so appreciative of the thoughtfulness put into the preparation of the food. None of us will hesitate ordering from TCM again! read more

Customer service didn't change a delivery address (despite agreeing to do so) after a call to them was made to update the order. Order went to another location in an apartment complex. They refused to rectify the situation despite having put the wrong address (and us having no immediate way to go get the rogue package). They refused to give any names of the customer service team. We now have no food and paid for food that is sitting, thawing and rotting. Apparently it isn't their problem. They told me that they "send 8-10 thousand meals a day and have great customer service". I guess they don't need even one more customer because they are doing awesome. read more

4.5 stars! I was surprised that it tasted so good. I was expecting it to be a little like Lean Cuisine (let's be honest, we eat those for the convenience only, and to keep us from going out and getting fast food........NOT for the taste). But it wasn't anything like Lean Cuisine. I was completely surprised! It was actually flavorful and it filled me up. I had a few bites of ice cream afterwards and felt like I was still within my calorie limit. I had the meatloaf, potatoes and brussel sprouts and my boyfriend had the pulled pork, potatoes and broccoli. He said that the pulled pork was actually pretty darn good, and he's harder to please than even me. I will definitely be ordering again soon. Working 12.5 hours a day at a hospital, I literally can't bring myself to cook after I get home from work (too exhausted), and this saves me from spending a ton of money on ordering delivery... and a LOT of calories, too. Almost every meal is around 450-550 cals. I expect I'll be losing some weight pretty soon, so that's exciting. read more

Top Chef meals are awful. Soggy potatoes and mushy vegetables. Meats are hard, crusts are soggy and all have no flavor. Meals come with 3 different versions of heating instructions, enough to confuse any senior. Tried 6 different meals and all ended up in the garbage. Don't waste your money. I feel bad for trying to feed my elderly parents such horrible food. Those good reviews baffle me because that was not our experience. I have 8 meals left from my first order that are going in the trash. read more

I am on my second order of food from this company and I have been pleasantly suprised with there product. I love how the meals are shipped with alot of dry ice to keep the meals cold. Most of the food taste pretty good some items I like more than others. The vegetables are great very fresh and not overcooked. The meals are all packaged very well and elegantly presented. You can tell this company puts alot of care in their products. The best thing is its good quality food at a very reasonable price. Over the past year in a half I have used several well known meal delivery services and the price of Top Chef meals is much more reasonable than there competitors. Delivery cost is much cheaper as well. They have a great variery of food for all types of diets such as diabetic, low sodium etc. I highly recommend using this company. read more

Very disappointed! I ordered 10 different meals for my elderly parents. There were 3 sets of confusing cooking instructions but no matter which way the meals were not edible. They were all soggy, tasteless and meat the texture of cardboard. After trying the 4th set of meals we threw the rest in the trash. I contacted Top Chef but they totally ignored the complaint and offered no response. A waste of money and the worst customer service ever. read more

Wow, this is a GAME CHANGER!!!! I work full time, so does my husband and both our kids have sporting events 4 nights a week! We're all running around the minute we get home from work. Instead of hitting the drive through we have meals ready to go! Heat them up, grab a plastic fork and everyone is eating a healthy meal in minutes! Upon ordering I had no idea what to expect. First off my order came all frozen! Therefore meals were made on Tuesday, frozen and then delivered (frozen) on Thursday. Since these meals are not full of all the "chemicals and sodium" a typical frozen meal has they do have a freezer life. This is like making meals on your own and freezing them, yet who had time for that! The Breakfast options are GREAT too! My husband ran out the door with a hot meal just this morning! And all the calorie info is on the package so I can log my calories for the day. I recommend these for everyone! Busy family of 4 loves them read more

Best service ever!! No Chopping, prepping or cooking! A simple reheat. The Meals are delicious!!! These are NOT your typical frozen meals!! These meals are gourmet dishes! Better than anything I could ever prepare. I would Highly recommend this service!!! read more

I never write reviews but I have to give this place 5 stars for helping me lose 40lbs in 6 months. Losing weight is 80% what you eat and 20% exercise. This place helped me create a regular eating schedule of healthy food for a decent price. Most meal prep places were too expensive. Given, it's not INCREDIBLE food but if you try enough items you get a good feeling of what is good vs. what is average vs. what is bad. I just keep an excel sheet marking what I liked and what I didn't and just reorder what I liked. Now that I lost the weight, I am not using it as religiously just every once in a while for maintenance. I recommend for an affordable way to "shortcut" to lose weight. Of course you can lose just as much weight if you properly mealprep but that takes time, effort, and I can't even cook so this place works great. For someone who ate here religiously, the price point is what really sold me. Keep up the great work TopChef. read more

I bought several meals for my parents but they didn't like the food. I'm sorry it didn't work out.. the price was good but if they wont eat it there is no point. read more

I was extremely skeptical however this service and meals have been a godsend to my family. I work a lot of hours and our daughter is a Type 1 diabetic so she needs a specific number of carbs per meal and I haven't been able to cook in a long time. Not only is the food actually delicious but you can calculate the number of carbs per meal based on what you add or subtract to your customized order!!!!! GAME CHANGER! They should market this more as more Type 1 families would definitely order from them. My husband loves it too and he is a big guy with a huge appetite. The only thing I wish is the "add more protein" option would add MORE protein for those that have bigger appetites (so something like doubling a portion). We have worked around this by ordering two for him. I thought I was coming to a point where I would run out of menu options that I haven't tried yet but as I logged on today to order for this coming week I see they've added menu items. They have it all covered! Honestly this is a great service and I am thrilled I found it. read more

Due to a health issue my siblings and I decided to use your service to send meals to my parents as a Christmas gift. Our mother was scheduled for back surgery and was not able to cook the way she used to and we aren't able to be there to help her daily. We found your service and sent the first delivery the week of christmas and have been sending meals every 2 weeks ever since. My mother raves about your meals and I had the ability to try one while visiting her and agree completely, they rival a restaurant and surpass all other prepared meals I have tried in both quality of food and taste. We will be continuing the orders for the remainder of the year while she recovers. The staff is attentive and responsive, the meals are packaged well, the value cannot be beat and the food is above and beyond what we all expected. Perfect for anyone with dietary restrictions, trying to follow a meal plan (paleo options available), busy families with time constraints and those on a budget (you can have a healthy meal for the cost of McDonalds!). The service has been a blessing to our family, thank you! read more
