This is my 5th order. I have some observations: overall meals are tasty & filling. The size of the meat servings are erratic, from bountiful to skimpy. Chicken is invariably very dry no matter how... See more

customization cut

As a longtime customer, I'm disappointed that the customization of meals has been discontinued. Having the option to choose a double serving of a variety of vegetables over potatoes and rice was a big plus.

Food very good and delivery great...but food not perfect like the past. Wish we could still add more sauce and gravy. Also use to switch some of the vegs.. only zucchini...not good....watery and rubbery. Large portions and not to salty.

I have noticed with my last delivery of…

I have noticed with my last delivery of meals that the portions were noticeably smaller and many did not accurately reflect the labelling on the front of each package. When I talked to the customer service rep she said that customization of any dinner was no longer possible in order to avoid potential food contamination. When I said that I had always ordered each of my meals as "extra protein" which ensured larger portions, she said that was also considered a customization and would also no longer be available. I told her that the regular portions they are now sending are inadequately small and that, in all likelihood, I would have to find a different company to do business with which disappoints me. I have been a customer for around 6-7 years.

Easy to order and reorder

Easy to order and reorder. Dad likes the meals. However it is difficult to open your boxes. Having the shipping label directly over the middle seam of the box makes it very difficult to open.

What's happening?

What is happening to the food. Two of my bacon omlets had some other meat meal in it that I could not eat. I do not know what is happening to Top Chef. They do not pack the right foods and their quality is not like it used to be. Used to love that you could pick a veggie or a starch. That has changed. I do not want to eat sweet potatoes with every meal.

I like that you don't need a subscription to order meals from Top Chef. I sent some to relatives and they liked them. They were not mush like frozen meals you can get at the grocery store. They arrive in a timely manner.

We order weekly. Two meals from last week were tough to chew. That's the first negative experience we've had.
