Friends of the Chef

Food 2/5. (7 or my 10 meals were chicken And the only veg in the meals were spinach leaves.) Delivery 5/5. Customers service 1/5. I took the weight loss plan. it doesn't let you see the menu before paying for the plan and obviously you can't edit what you're going to get. So When my meals arrived there was pasta, potatoes and rice. I felt like I threw away $114 in a week. And this was the soup that came with a meal, it seems like a joke.

I normally don’t do reviews but the food is phenomenal. I order the weightloss meals for my daughter and I and it’s a lot of food. My daughter is an extremely picky eater but she loves it. This has her eating her veggies 😳😳😳😳, I can’t believe it. Customer service is impeccable as well (I’m annoying and I know it). They were very patient and responsive to all of my questions. I worried about freshness as it’s for 5 days. Let’s be clear it was fresh up to 7 days. Absolutely delicious, if I can only get my household members to stop eating my meals it would be great lol.

I placed an order for detox juices on May 18. The only option for delivery date on their website was the same day. I did not expect the delivery the same day, but that was the only option. A few days passed and I did not get my delivery. This company was recommended to me by a friend and she told me to message them on Instagram, as she had a lot of luck messaging them there. No response. She told me to text them. No response. I called their number on their website and it went straight to voicemail and the voice box was full. Finally, I emailed them and they told me that I did not order in time to be delivered that day. Again, I did not expect a delivery the same day and that was not my concern. My concern was that there’s no tracking number on these deliveries and again, the delivery date

If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would. My partner and I placed a large order of detox juices from the Hackensack location on April 17th, even paying extra for next-day or 2-day delivery. It’s now been 16 days with no proper response. We tried calling multiple times—no answer. We also reached out via their messaging service with no luck. Eventually, we discovered the location had closed without notifying customers. To make matters worse, when we tried to get answers, we were met with dismissive and inconsistent communication. Strangely, they seemed to have no issue understanding or speaking English when taking orders, but suddenly struggled to communicate when addressing complaints. We were forced to take legal action just to get any response—and instead of a refund, they delivered

I was very excited to try these meals since I just recently started counting macros to lose some body fat and thought that a meal prepping service could be ideal for what I was looking for. Don’t get me wrong it is affordable and the food has a pretty good taste, but they really need to reevaluate their calories and food choices at least for their weight loss plan. Note that I tried it for 2 weeks before making this review because I really wanted to give it a chance. I also consider myself an active person, I go to the gym at least 2-3 times a week and also do Pilates 2-3 a week so I was at least expecting to see a pound or 2 difference or something. Their meals for the weight loss program in my opinion have too much carbohydrates, lots of fat and too much sodium which in turn makes you if
