I should have come here to read reviews before I placed my order. I ordered a meal for my good friends passing - to support her now widowed husband and 2 children. I paid $50 — yeah $50!!! for expedit... See more

Very disappointing so far. Ordered a few meals to send to a friend returning home from a stay in the hospital. I guess I should have read more carefully, but to tell me that the $24.00 you charged for... See more

It is almost noon, the day after Thanksgiving and this meal gift has NOT been delivered. I paid about $65.00 extra, for the two-day delivery. I was told it was to be delivered no later than Wednesday... See more

Great service!

Great service and delivery! My friends were super impressed with the quality of the meals and said they were very yummy!! Thank you for helping us take care of a friend in need.

The options were great.

This was a sympathy gift. The options were great. And the receiver thanked us adding that "this was so much better than flowers!" The only issue was delivery time. Delivery is ultra expensive if you want the meals to be received while a family is still in the initial mourning period, and that delivery still got the meals delivered a week after the loved one had passed.

The ordering process was easy

The ordering process was easy, the delivery was on-time and the food is excellent. I would recommend it to anyone, especially if you can't be with your family- you can still share a wonderful meal.

Delicious

Delicious! We had the Shepards Pie. It was so good. It was so nice not to have to cook after knee surgery. The lobster ravioli was good as well.

Great food.

Would have rated the service a 5, but customer service was confusing. I never got an email confirming my purchase or expected delivery date. A few days later I was able to track via order number and it confirmed the purchase and delivery time.
According to recipients, the food itself was delivered promptly, packaged excellently, directions were clear, and the quality of the food was great, and well-received. This was a gift for sister and her husband while she was recovering from surgery. Would recommend to others, and I will probably order again for a Christmas gift

I ordered these meals for a family…

I ordered these meals for a family member so I have no idea (yet) how good the meals were. Ordering the meals was easy. The menu looks delicious. I understand, but wish the meals would have arrived quicker (probably me being impatient). If I ever get my relative on the phone to ask what he thought of the meals, I’ll let you know.

EGREGIOUSLY DISAPPOINTED GRANDDAUGHTER

I live in the Virgin Islands, which makes it impossible to celebrate special days with family during a pandemic. We wanted to send a special meal to my mother in NC to try to make her 80th (!!!) birthday special, as Covid precluded us from our tradition of making the meal of her choice on her birthday, WHICH SHE SPENT ALONE.

On Saturday, Oct 30 I ordered lobster ravioli & dessert, selecting FEDEX OVERNIGHT at the cost of over $50 shipping, as this was the only selection that would get to her on November 3, Tuesday. On SUNDAY I received an email "confirming" my order TO BE DELIVERED NOVEMBER 4! There is NO PHONE NUMBER to call Send A Meal (very suspicious), so I emailed my upset to them I told them if they could not get my order to NC by Nov 3 AS THE SITE SAID THEY COULD TWO DAYS BEFORE, my elderly mother would spend her birthday alone without her usual special meal (she does not cook), RUINING her birthday; and that if they could not fulfill my order AS PROMISED, it should be canceled, leaving me with no options at that late date.

The rather glib reply I received essentially said: "We cannot fulfil your order to be delivered on November 3. Per your request, it has been canceled. Have a nice day."

My daughter and I were in tears, and finally forced to spend $100 (almost twice the price) to have Lobster Mac and Cheese shipped overnight from Maine Lobster Now. This was ordered 11pm Sunday November 1, SHIPPED OVERNIGHT VIA FED EX, and arrived in NC at 3pm on November 3, bringing a warm, comforting gourmet meal to my mother, who said it was delicious and made her day. A cake from Harry & David - also ordered late Sunday night - arrived VIA FED EX later that day, further enriching her special day as she unwrapped the several gifts we had sent.

I cannot stress strongly enough my antipathy for Send A Meal, a company that clearly does not care about PEOPLE. I will be disseminating this tale of the atrocious NON-SERVICE we experienced on every salient social media platform I can.

STAY AWAY FROM SEND A MEAL.

They DO NOT care about you.
I have owned a popular, successful restaurant in St. John for 17 years, where we CARE for our GUESTS, regularly exceeding expectations and making our service PERSONAL, so I do know what great service is, and how it can change a stranger's day for the better.

Send A Meal apparently does not even know what ADEQUATE service is, and changed our day in the most negative way possible. (I suppose they could have kept our money, which would have been worse.)

Send a meal may provide adequate service AT BEST; though I can't really say, as they were INCAPABLE OF DOING WHAT THEY PROCLAIMED THEY WOULD, and had NO OPTION TO CALL and speak to a "real live person;" while TWO other companies had no problem with shipping OVERNIGHT because they OFFERED FED EX OVERNIGHT, just as Send A Meal erroneously said they did.

I am not generally a spiteful person, but nothing would make me happier than for Send A Meal to GO OUT OF BUSINESS.

If any of my restaurant guests were even a modicum as upset with their experience at Rhumb Lines as I am, I would not only comp the whole table, I would GIVE THEM A CERTIFICATE TO RETURN FOR A FREE TASTING DINNER, with the code "MVIP" in the corner. This indicates to my staff that a Mistake was made with their last experience, and should receive exceptional, VIP treatment at our expense of average $50pp, and a visit from me or my husband.

I am simply disgusted and dismayed at this kind of cavalier treatment of the client by ANY conpany. Send A Meal exceeded every negative experience I have had with ordering online.

I would give them ZERO stars if that were a possibility.

Good food but terrible service and late delivery

I ordered this meal for my parent’s anniversary. With COVID we couldn’t travel so I wanted to send a great meal they could enjoy with little prep. I ordered the meal on Monday, October 26th. I paid extra for the shipping to ensure the meal arrived by Friday, October 30th as the special day was the 31st. I never received tracking so Friday I contacted customer service. The hours for customer service is limited so I had wouldn’t hear anything until Monday. The meal never showed up. Monday I finally heard from customer service. The meal had never been sent out. The only tracking was for a new ticket processed on Monday.
My parents finally receive the meal. I will say they did say the food was very good and easy to prepare. Also after talking to customer service I was told the shipping charges would be waived which is why I gave two stars instead of one star. However based on the experience I would not recommend this service for any special occasion or holiday as based on my experience I could not trust the meal would arrive on time.

Like Home Made!

Sending a "like home cooked " meal to my SIL following surgery, was a great option! She and her husband said the Shepherd's, the Lobster Bisque soup and the apple tartlets were all great!! The box came on the day promised and was frozen and ready for the freezer until they choose to eat it! So many options of meals available!!
