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

When I did my order on the website it did not offer any extra protein or vegetables selection. I did the order on a Wednesday 02/04 evening. I never received an email advising me FedEx picked up the order. Your after hours phone help was very poor. Hope food is ok.
Mixed Thoughts on this Supplier
Meals are tasty, nutritious and filling. However they used to let us select the starches and vegetables (for a slight upcharge) but have since discontinued this "for safety reasons". It's take-it-or-leave-it now. And the meals have become a bit pricey.
I selected items to buy
I selected items to buy, but did not initially make the purchase. I received an email stating that the items I selected were saved in my cart, but that was untrue. This happened twice, and each time I reported the errors but received an automated reply from a mailbox that doesn't get read.
When I finally did place the order, I received confirmation of the order, but never received the promised ship date. Things are getting sloppy.

Top Chef Meals is great—no subscription required, customizable sides, quality food, and extra protein options. Very, very pleased!

Reasonably good food but packaging problems.
Reasonably good food, but there are some packaging problems. Often the plastic tray that holds the food arrives broken with small shards of plastic in the food. If you're not careful, you can end up eating some of these shards of plastic and they can be sharp. I've found this happens in at least one dinner in each of my orders. Why are you using plastic anyway?

Changed, and not for the better
I can't customize the meals like I used to, and you eliminated the Gluten-Free Special Diet Menu. Why? Your packaging still says "Customize."
At least you still have a Low Sodium menu. However, it doesn't show all the meals I find by going to the Main Menu and checking off Low Sodium and Gluten-Free there. What's with the inconsistency?
This is not the same Top Chef Meals I discovered a while ago.
The website needs to improved
The website needs to improved. I am unable to customize orders, for example, to add more protein to the meals I order. In addition, I did not receive an email confirming my order and giving an estimated time for delivery. While the quality of the food remains very good, it appears the operations end of the company is going downhill and that's unfortunate for long-time customers like myself.
Top Chef Us Tops!
The meals were delivered on time. We are very pleased with the quality and amount of food put into each meal. We use the Low Sodium offerings. Keep up the good service! ❤️

I gave gift certificates to my son he enjoys the meals. The only thing is the delivery fee would like it to be lower or free
On my account
On my account, there is a notice that states to be left at the GARAGE door.
I AM A SENIOR & HANDICAPPED. And the last order was left at the front door, where I did not have access to. I also think it was sent by another handler.
FED-EX has always left it down at the garage for me. And on my package from us the directions are explicit. PLEASE USE THOSE DIRECTIONS. When I see FEDEX arriving, I open the garage, they place the order inside and I take over. I have no idea as to why the driver didn't leave it down by the garage. THANK YOU
Poor service
Poor service, no email sent regarding delivery never know when it will arrive used to send emails re delivery other firms better at notifying re delivery date
Review of my 4 pack order of Top Chef meals…
The foods arrived frozen which I did not think would be a problem. However, when I would heat the meals up in the microwave the sweet potatoes were watery and the vegetables depending they were would be watery too. The meat was of good quality. The meal overall was a little too bland. Comparing you meals to Factor meals, I would have to go with Factor.
Maybe I did not follow the cooking instructions. I did let them thaw out in the fridge and put them in the fridge as soon as they arrived.
I may consider give Top Chef another try.
