I used to come here years ago and the food was great but now, it was barely edible. The taste was off on most dishes (I ordered 10) like old meat was used or undercooked chicken...couldn't really tell. The only ones that were good were the ones with fish. Service was great but I won't be back. read more

This place has been a life saver. I purchase the food for my boyfriend who has to eat low sodium and healthier foods. He loves every meal I've brought him. The customer service is outstanding as well. The lady who is in the stockton location has been more then helpful and I appreciate the deal of buying 4 get 1 free or on weekends buy 4 get 2 free. I haven't been able to make it in on the weekends yet because of my work schedule but I think I will try today. I work at 11am but they open at 10am so I'll see if this is doable today probably. I'll try to remember to get pictures of the meals this time around. Thank you for making healthy meals available to those that don't have the time to cook all the time. read more

One of three locations, this is the second one I have visited and they have a large selection of meals all neatly organized in refrigerators specific for Breakfast / Entree's / Snacks with a microwave and small table to eat there if you wish. The pricing is fair and there are regular deals like buy 4 get 1 free or buy 4 get 2 free on the weekends, all portioned out and labelled clearly with nutritional information. I've had a number of their meals and they're all pretty solid. A good option if you're short on time. read more

So, I have finally decided to try to eat better. I'm a certified junk food junkie without an interest in cooking. What to do? My son told me about Valley Meal Prep! I've had a few meals and I'm hooked! The meals are delicious and flavorful. I'm satisfied until the next meal and not craving sweets. If I want dessert VMP has it too and low in sugar (delicious)! I'm even trying new foods and finding I like them. Thank you Alex and Valley Meal Prep! read more

I really wanted to like this place. Due to my busy schedule I decided to try this meal prep service. Their Instagram page had good reviews so I decided.. why not? (Bad idea) For starters you receive a confirmation email (good sign). The confirmation email reads: Thank you for your order at Valley Meal Prep. Once your order is ready we will send you a notification email. Almost two days later and numerous calls (poor Louis) and a request for call back. I received this email: Your order from Valley Meal Prep has been fulfilled If you chose delivery then your meals will be delivered to the address specified between 830am and 3pm today. Please have someone home to recieve the meals. If you chose pick-up your order is ready for you. For any assistance call 209-312-9621 Not a call from the manager like I requested. Who is usually home between the hours of 8:30am and 3pm Mon - Fri? I set time aside the day prior for the delivery... so of course that time was wasted. I almost forgot to mention the added piece of hair at no additional charge :(. So this place is a no go for me. I'm between a chargeback and trash bag. read more

This place is good except when you buy more than a weeks worth of meal preps, the food tastes horrible when it's past 5 days and you have to microwave it frozen. I wish there was some type of pass where I can purchase the 10 meals program and go in and get a fresh one each day. Also, sometimes they don't update their meals and it's the same ones over and over. Other than that it's pretty good. read more

First time trying this place and gotta say i was impressed with their selection of choices. They have a great sale were u buy 4 get 1 free so i walked out with 10 meals and spent 75.00 That is lunch and dinner for the whole week. Will be back next week. They also have a delivery service available for 10.00 more. read more

Valley Meal Prep - Let get this week started - Gluten-Free Near Me - Stockton, California

So incredibly disappointed. whats sad is that i absolutely loved the food, but the customer service aspect was really bad. Maybe I just had bad luck. I joined the 40 meals a month for $320 back in October. I got set up on auto pay, and the first 2 months were problem free. Then for whatever reason, one day i logged on to my account and it was simply gone, it said i had no subsciptions and no meals saved. I called and emailed numerous times and asked what could i do to get it back up, and no one ever could get it straightened out. They said it wasnt a payment issue, it was just something weird that had happend in their system. At the end of the day i was told to re-join from scratch , at the new higher rate, and that didnt seem fair to me. Bummer. read more

Great alternative to meal prep. Most of the time I prep my own meals but sometimes I get busy. It's so convenient to run into their location and grab some meals for the week. They have a great variety which is nice and you do not have to pre order. Pre ordering works but I'm kind of a last minute person so it's nice to know I can run in and grab some things without having to plan. The only thing is most of the meals are pretty bland ... which I can see doing that since not everyone has the same taste buds so just prepare to have your own hot sauce or a little seasoning on the side. read more

Meals are hit and miss. I went back due to info they have more selections. Cashier recommended Chicken parm. It was heavy due to large piece. Thought I was getting a deal. Microwave for 90sec - rubbery. Ate pasta trashed the chicken. Disappointed read more

I ordered 1wk of sig meals and thought they were great so decided to order the 21 meal/wk plan for 4 wks at $575. I placed my order online & paid $575. My meals were ready on time for pickup at the Stockton location-no problem. I'm a planner so I planned all my meals out for the next 4 wks. When I went to pick up wk 1 meals, I brought a printout with Wk 2 orders and also specified that I would like to pick my meals up on the Saturday before my wk 2 started so I could have the meals at the beginning of the wk. Here is where my problems begin. I was told that I was unable to pick my meals up within wk 1, they had to be picked up "in wk 2." Frustrating, but ok. I then asked to have them ready for pick up on Monday of wk 2 and left my order (typed-very easy to read). This is Monday on wk 1. So I leave, happy, with my meals, expecting to come back the following Monday for my wk 2. Fast forward to wk 2. Monday arrives & my order isn't ready, Tues-Wed; NOT READY. Now remember, I left a nicely typed out paper with my order when I picked up Wk 1 meals the previous wk so this clearly is not my fault. I call a manager, Nora, in Modesto. She's apologetic, offers to have my meals delivered on Thursday (no delivery fee and 3 days late). I had to pay for lunch/dinner these three days so I wasn't happy about that. My wk 2 meals arrive & guess what, all wrong. They claim they didn't have an order for me for wk 2 so they gave me the exact order from wk 1 which isn't what I wanted (remember I planned my meals ahead of time). So I call Nora & she apologized & offered me a 5th wk of meals at no charge. Great! The time now comes to order wk 3. I call Modesto directly & order my meals, I let them know about my previous issues and kindly ask that my meals be correct. The order taker said she will make a note of it. The time comes to pick up wk 3. I only have 17 meals instead of 21. So I call Nora & she has 6 meals delivered to me (2 free). I thank her & move along. Wk 4, I call on a Sat & place my order for pick up on Tues. I call Tues to see if it's ready, its not but im told it will be there Wed. I call Wed, still not there. I have had it by this point. Brian in Stockton says that he can't help me anymore because he has already told his manager so if I want to resolve this I need to contact them myself. I decide to call Turlock. I asked for the owner but instead ended up speaking to a manager. I tell her the story, she's apologetic & asks if I want my money back but I told her I would just like my orders fulfilled correctly and timely. We hang up & after speaking to the owner, she informs me that they're making my meals "now" & would have them delivered (free of charge) the following day. She then told me that the owner would be calling me on the following Monday to take my wk 5 order himself to ensure that my order was taken care of correctly. We even set up a time. The next day comes, my meals arrive correctly. Monday comes along for wk 5, no call from the owner, as promised. I call late Monday & place wk 5's order with a manager. I briefly explain what's been going on, practically begging her to please get my order correct this time. She ensures me that as soon as we get off the phone she's placing it in the queue for prep & my meals will be ready for pick up on Wed. Wed. comes and no meals at the Stockton location for me, however, Brian kindly informs me that he will take meals from the refrigerators and fill my order that way.Great! Thank you Brian. I get there though & despite going over my order with him on the phone, my order was still wrong. By now I know better than to leave without checking so we go through it & correct it. He throws in 2 free meals. I thank him & he proceeds to apologize. What I have concluded is that if you are going in and simply purchasing a single meal from the refrigerator, this is probably a great option or even if you're going to order by the week. I would absolutely NOT order a membership (even though the price per meal is less when you do it this way, which is the perk). It's not worth the headache, the stress, the money even because you just have to waste money eating out when you've already spent money on a membership plan. This is supposed to be a way to help people who are too busy to prep their own meals. I will not order from this place again, unfortunately. read more

I'm on day two of eating my meal prep, everything is pretty good! I'm definitely impressed with the taste and portions. When I picked up my meals, the person that helped me was friendly and welcoming. The only recommendations I have are to check the bags before pickup, mine was leaking and I had to put it in my car that way. Also, the parfait is delicious but soggy, maybe package the granola separately? Aside from those two small suggestions, I'm definitely happy. I'll be back for weeks to come! read more

Interesting concept. Ready-made meals. Just heat and eat. Since I don't cook, this looked attractive so I had to check it out. The Stockton store is located in the Walmart Neighborhood Market shopping center on the corner of March Lane and West Lane. Their building is directly behind what used to be America's Tire and now is Perlu's Auto Repair. A couple of pluses for me. I like to eat so put me in front of a buffet and I will stuff my face. But these are portion controlled meals. I only eat once a day so I had two meals tonight. They totaled less than 1000 calories! So we have portion control, low calories, kind of close to homemade food and probably a lot healthier than fast food. Win win! They have an offer...purchase four meals get the fifth meal free. That looked attractive to me. So I picked out five different entrées. Tonight I tried the stuffed bell pepper with broccoli and the tri-tip with cilantro rice and green beans. Both tasted better than they look in the pictures I posted. Consider that the meals are made in Modesto and trucked to the local location. That puts some wear and tear on the meals so they're not going to look like they were prepared fresh for you 10 minutes ago. The bell-pepper meal was good. Ground turkey was a bit on the dry side and did not have enough flavor so I added some salt. That helped. I would probably purchase this meal again. The tri-tip meal was good. Nice portion of tender tri-tip. Again, not quite as "medium" as it looks in the picture but nevertheless satisfactory. I really did not care for the cilantro rice because I hate cilantro but it was not overwhelming. The green beans were very small and skinny...probably young green beans? By the time you reheat them in the microwave they're pretty tough and I really did not care for them. Today was a holiday. I was surprised they were open. You can walk in and pick out several entrées out of the refrigerator. The choices were a bit on the limited side today. I saw some items that they offer that we're not available. I'm sure I will frequent the store again. I hope to try several of their other dishes and settle on a few that I like. The microwave instructions for the two that I had tonight said to heat the tray for 1 1/2 minutes in 30 seconds increments. They seem to be doing a good business. I heard that they may be opening an outlet in Lodi and maybe even Sacramento in the future. read more

Have been ordering their signature meals online this 2022. Initially, we were delighted with their signature meal selection and some bulk items we can also order. It was a good alternate for frozen meal services. Their location is the same region, so it is good to be a customer of a local company. However, for some reason last 15May2022, our online order was not delivered at all. Typically orders placed online on a weekend gets delivered the next Tuesday. I do not know what happened to them. I sent an email on 17May2022 asking about the status of our order, when will it be delivered...no reply. I also called them and a person named Tiffany said she will refer it the manager so he can call me back. Still..no feedback. So much as I want to give them 5 stars..reducing it to 3 stars. This is in consideration that our previous 8 online orders were being delivered promptly...but this zero reply on my email and phone follow up is simply annoying and ridiculous. Their food is good, but if customer service goes lousy like this, then your customers will turn sour towards them. I think I waited patiently enough for a decent reply, but to no avail. It was indeed a plus factor that they were not charging delivery fee during the ongoing pandemic..and their delivery person has always been cordial and adept in informing us when he will soon be at our doorstep, so delivery goes smooth. But then all that previous good observations will easily be washed out because nobody bothers to respond to a valid follow up on a missing order that has never been delivered. I have email receipt confirmation of my order being placed. For some reason, their website does not show anymore any detail of this order in question. Thankfully, that email receipt contains the order number. So if they are having a bad malfunction in their online ordering system, they should own up to it and properly advise their customers, especially if we have already sent them an email follow up/status request. So just beware, for some reason their service has fouled up. read more

There was a variety of meals to choose. That was nice to see. The two keto meals I purchased were bland and dry tasting. 2/10 for taste. Keto food is supposed to taste so good, it'll make you feel guilty. Keto is high fat, low carb. There was little fat used in the keto meals. The containers are nice. I kept mine for a couple washes. The store is clean. Customer service was okay but not great. She appeared to be occupied by her phone. I preordered my food online and chose the option to pickup, but little did I know that if I did it this way, I would have to wait 3-5 days to pick up my food, instead of grabbing it from the fridge they had in-store. The customer service rep was unapologetic about my situation. They really should have more information on the website about this. The one non-keto meal I purchased tasted pretty good. I give it a 7/10. I really want to give this place 5 stars. I wish I could, but I Yelp only to post honest reviews. Sorry guys. read more

I can't say enough about how much I love VMP. Their meals are delicious and very competitively priced. They offer a good selection of keto meals which makes them awesome in my book. I like being able to go in on the weekends and get a great deal when picking up and when i'm too busy to make it to Turlock knowing I can have them delivered to me makes them my number one choice for meal prep! Highly recommend for flavor, convenience & price! read more

I love coming here! The food is delicious AND healthy. Their customer service is EVERYTHING! They even have a microwave, utensils & seating if you'd like to eat there. I'd rather come here for lunch everyday if i have to rather then eating fast food. They're new in the area so Support your local small businesses. PS The Asada bowl and chicken teriyaki are my fave ! Highly recommend. read more

I used to rave about VMP until recently. They began offering free delivery during COVID however, you'll get a driver who claims they went to your house (but never did) and unless you want to wait another few days to have it delivered (after already waiting due to another mistake), you have to go pick it up yourself in Modesto (I live in Stockton). So much for practicing safety during the pandemic. Then when you request to speak to a manager, she never calls you. So, you email the owner who tells you that either he or the manager will get back to you. It's been over a week and I'm still waiting. I reluctantly placed another order and surprise, surprise...2 items are missing. The manager (same manager who never returned my call) says I can go pick them up or wait another couple of days for delivery. I told her who I was and she didn't acknowledge any previous issue or anything. Unbelievable. Thankfully I'll be refunded those 2 items, but really?! Horrible customer service!!!!! I will not be ordering again and I'll be telling my friends the same. Oh and I did call. Spoke to Abby AND spoke to her in person when I picked up my meals. She directed to email you since the manager wasn't even responding to her. SMH AND your response Isn't even accurate. I have a Ring video of your driver never even attempting to deliver. And no, you did it to try to redeliver. I had to go pick up my order from Modesto. And apparently I should have written a review before today because that is the only way you bother to address my concerns read more

This is our 3rd week coming here and we're beyond excited to have found this place. The owner Matt is super nice. The food here is fresh and all the Macros are on point. Just what my husband and I look for in our daily nutritionist goals. If you have Fittness goals and need help meal prepping I suggest checking this place out you won't be disappointed. The quality is great and the prices are good. Paying $6 for a nutritious meal is well worth it. They keep me full and energized through out the day!!!! We will definitely keep coming back. read more

Cashier (some guy) was rude! I ordered the 21 meal deal online and was sent home with 6 items missing. I called them to let them know the girl who helped me was sweet and said she would get things situated. But never communicated out with me that things indeed did NOT get situated. So I had to call again and ask for my missing meals. She never did anything about it. So I called the following day and got some guy. I can't recall any names. I told him the whole situation he allowed me to come pick out of what they did have but while doing so I told him that 3 of the meals I did receive were bad. The chicken was bitter and sour. He shrugged his shoulders and said ok. I definitely will not be back. The food was disgusting and the customer service is horrible! read more

Would have been a 5 star rating but the owner and his "girlfriend " at least that's who she said she was need to learn usiness etiquette. They also need to stop billing twice and denying they did. Food was good but be careful about how they bill. Do not expect them to fix their mistake because they won't. Too bad too this was a time saver. read more

The management needs to be replaced. They double charge my credit card 6 months ago and I still have not received all of my refund back. When I said it's a shi*t show they canceled my subscription saying I'm not appreciative of them. Plus I'm still owed a week. Still not refund so small claims court for me. read more

Been going through a lot and this place has saved me meal wise! I don't have much energy to cook and their meals are delicious after 1.5 min in the microwave. I haven't tried everything yet but my favorites so far: strawberry and blueberry protein pancakes, Denver omelette, spicy buffalo salad, and the Greek wrap! I have bought 3 weeks straight so far. Way cheaper and tastes better than other meal prep places in town. Can't wait to try more. read more

So absolutely thankful they opened in Stockton. Delicious, easy, reasonably priced. I'm in love! Will be back, again and again.

The food here is great! The customer service employee was excellent he explained everything perfectly. Good thing I took advantage of their buy 4 get 1 free promo because the food was outstanding it was very tasty, so I picked up a few meals my favorites so far are the pesto pasta and pasta bolognese I like how I'm in and out great for lunch break never a waiting line. I never knew meal prep would be this delicious. read more

Tried to put for the first time and it was great! The protein pancakes are delicious, as well as the egg bites. My favorite dinner was the carne asada bowl. I was worried it wouldn't have enough flavor, but I was wrong. I didn't have to add anything to it. I'm still trying out different meals. I ordered about 12 meals for around a 100 bucks. Prettty sweat deal! Oh yeah and I got the detox water for free. Yummy read more

I have documentation from my doctor saying I had food poisoning. Also if you go to any one of your stores lots of food is two and three days old. Not always fresh. I have no desire to contact you once again about this matter. You only care now because I told the truth on Yelp. My comments on your Facebook pages were magically erased. Please raise your standards!! And care about customers . I spent approx 400$ in a few weeks there ! read more

Super convenient and good prices. Food is yummy and I don't get tired of it. Lots of options to choose from.

My daughter ordered meals from another place but the hours for pick up are very limited and hard to make due to work schedules. I researched a lot of places and decided to check out Valley Meal Prep on my lunch hour because it is close to my work and the website had me curios. The store was spotless and the meals looked amazing. There are so many options of food and programs. I love that you can grab and go and the hours are very convenient. Matt, the owner was great. He answered all my questions and explained to me how to figure out my macros. I have a week of meal plans set for next week from somewhere else but I cannot wait to try this place. My daughter is super excited too! read more

The girl who helped me with my order was amazing the best customer service I've had in a long time the food usually is pretty bland and gross for my liking but the customer service more than made up for this she's very friendly, and kind can't say I'll eat the food again especially because my order is never ready on time but at least they have a good worker to smooth things out. read more

Good food, and I always get full I cant finish a whole tray in one sitting. I think they can add more choices, or more food, I don't have time to rush in the morning to make it! I know you can order online but I don't have time! I think they can push out more food for the 5:00 rush or even stay open a little later! Other than that I will continue to go even though they have slim pickings after 5:00..it's worth it. read more

June 15, 2019 My brother and I sought out this business as a suggestion he received. Claire is very gracious in her description of the meals. Presenting to her what my brother's needs to her. My brother chose 6 meals to try. Buy 4 get 2 free, 10% first time discount. Less than $6.50 a meal on this occasion which he can easily spend in a unhealthy drive thru. The presentation/visuals were agreeable. We will get back on the taste of the meals. Thank you Claire. read more

It really doesn't matter it's all healthy! Great job to all involved in this fantastic company!! read more
