The Crystal Spoon

I tried Top Chef Meals for the first time. I had the Rib with roasted potatoes, and Brussel sprouts. They only had one rib. I had the regular portion. The rib was tender. It was good. I also tried the Chicken from the chicken with broccoli.that was good.

I am on a special diet for my kidneys and these meals definitely meet all my requirements. today I had a brisket meal for lunch and a meatloaf meal for dinner they were both very good. I'm so surprised with such little amount of salt there was a lot of flavor. I can't wait to try the other ones I've ordered.

Top Chef Meals are excellent. Every meal is totally customizable - you can choose the 2 sides from any grain or veggie, you can add extra protein and even add toppings like onions or mushrooms to your protein. The portions are fair. If you are a big eater I recommend adding the extra protein and toppings. They are not overly spiced so you may need to add salt/pepper or any other seasoning but that is better in my book.

I live in Westchester and used to go and pick up my meals but now I have them delivered directly to my office. I have ordered multiple times now and they are a better value than many of the meal deliveries out there and they are freshly prepared for you. I highly recommend them.

A+ on packaging and I like the fact that you can put the containers in the oven.but I'm sorry the meals in my opinion are really bland! Kind of reminded me of hospital food. I won't be ordering from them again.

I cannot recommend this service enough. I work long hours and got into a bad habit of skipping lunch or eating unhealthy on-the-go alternatives. When I DID get time to meal prep, I would end up eating the same thing 5 days in a row. Bleh! With Top Chef meals I get to eat paleo, try new foods, enjoy variety, and save a TON of time (no planning, shopping, cooking, cleaning.).

It is incredibly affordable and their multiple delivery options ensure I always have my meals when I need them. Most importantly, the food is amazing. I have stuck to paleo options and love them all - especially the pulled pork. My partner is hooked too and ordered the brisket which was "next level". Invest in your health, save time, give yourself a meal to look forward to - buy now! Best choice ever.

After trying multiple food delivery companies we decided to try the precooked option. Have to say, we absolutely love Top Chef. The majority of their meals are low or moderate with sodium content and are truly a home run! I personally love to cook but have limited time to do it. Finding top chef has helped us eat nutritious meals that aren't skimpy on the items. It's awesome for couples who have different likes also.

No need to compromise on meal planning. The variety of meals on the menu make dinner a fun experience. Also having it shipped frozen is the best option for us. No stress over trying to cook up raw ingredients. We would give them 10 stars

I wanted so much to like To0 Chief meal's Arrived on time. The quality of food is bad. I had three meals already open, needless to say I threw them out. One desert was not shipped at all. They said they we're giving me a refund that never happened. I thawed cooked per the instructions the meats and fish were tough. No! I didn't overcook the meals. I won't be ordering from here again. I have tried to contact them but failed. This meals are just a step above store bought T.V dinners.

I work late a lot and don't like to come home to cook. Thanks Top Chef my husband isn't starving Love the brisket and sliced steak!

Was looking for some prepared meals to help someone who was working long hours. There are many options out there and I decided to try Top Chef for two reasons: # of decent reviews and their price. I ordered 10 meals (included free delivery). What a great selection of dinners to choose. I made sure that they were all different. They were shipped and delivered to the door promptly and on time!

I was impressed with the packaging and that all the meals were still frozen. The quality and taste of the food was very good and with the exception of one meal. They were all wonderfully prepared. The portions were adequate for dinner after a long day at work. *If you normally have a large meal for dinner, one mght not be enough for you.* I would recommend Top Chef to anyone looking for quality prepared, tasty meals at a fair price. I know that I will use them again.

Ordered 10 meals for me and my boyfriend. The food was absolutely wonderful, very pleasing. We especially enjoyed dry rub ribs and seared salmon. I'll definitely order again!

Ordered 12 meals for a time when I was working extended hours at work and didn't want to worry about cooking late. I enjoyed every meal. Not one was bad. Liked them enough that I ordered 12 more. They aren't the biggest portion sizes, so I would recommend getting the "extra protein" option. I let them thaw in the fridge overnight, then heat in the toaster oven @ 325F for approx 15 minutes.

I ordered from Top Chef Meals for the first time before a trip and wanted to have pre-made keto meals all set to go. After comparing numerous companies I went with Top Chef Meals because of price, selection of food, and ingredients used. I like this company because they tell you exactly what is in the meal you order including calories and macros. They even tell you the best cooking methods to reheat your food.

The company is very responsive and emailed and called me back when I had a question. I also received the meals by FedEx in a timely manner with tracking information. Not sure about the review that said the portion sizes are small and the food is terrible. The portion sizes are perfect if not on the larger size and the food tastes great! I especially like the Flounder Francaise, pulled pork, and Bison burger.

I am going to continue to use the company for when I travel, but I have also just placed another order to keep some food in the freezer for times I don't want to cook or I get home late.

I just discovered this service last week. I looked everywhere for low sodium prepared meals and this was the only company that offered that option. The food is tasty. Portions are good. For example, i had trouble finishing the meatballs, they were so huge. It beats take out a million times over! I love this service!

I wonder if something has changed since the review comparing these to frozen meals in the grocery store. That's what I thought I was getting and since I was picking only keto friendly meals I didn't feel cooking. I was ready to ignore the nasty and shovel them down. But they're effing delicious. They're actually real food that's cooked and sans grocery-store-type preservatives are flash frozen.

You don't heat em up from frozen, you defrost like regular food and then microwave. You know they're not lying about it when the veggies come out like they've been freshly cooked. I've had 14 different meals and loved them all except the ahi tuna. I mean loved. Tasted like home cooked meals. What else can you ask for here?! That said you have to follow the heating instructions on the papers that come with your food and not on the containers or you'll over nuke and ruin the food. Why not stop putting those same labeled directions on everything?!

I recieved my order as expected and on time 2 days ago. After trying 2 entrees, I am sold! Even the vegetarian stuffed portobello mushroom didn't feel like it was missing a protein. Really delicious, not overly salted and processed tasting like the usual frozen foods you'd buy in the supermarket or Trader Joe's (nothing against Trader Joe's. ) Top Chef Meals have great flavor and seasonings and tastes like real food that your best friend made and would send you home with!

I am looking forward to trying different meals and future orders. I will also be adding some of the smoothies (vegan option), the banana bread muffins, and berry crisp to my next order.

I've been using Top Chef to have prepared meals delivered to my client who cannot cook for himself. What I like is the wide range of dietary choices and preset suggested meals and combinations. My client is diabetic so ordering and reordering is easy thanks to this. There is a fair range of selections of entrees in the way of protein and vegetable sides.

The meal portions are maybe slightly bigger than a lean cuisine so it may not be for everyone as those portions can be a bit meager. I had one of the meals that my client didn't want - pork tenderloin, carrots, and string beans. I heated it in the oven as recommended and the pork was not bad, nor were the beans. They went a bit heavy on the carrots though.

This is only one meal of many however and my client overall has a favorable opinion of them, his favorite being the "American glazed meatloaf" Top Chef has come through in a big way for me with delivering about 2 weeks worth of meals for my client that come about three days after ordering it (If it isn't before the weekend). With the rising popularity of heat and eat and fast prep meal kits, like Hello Fresh, Blue Apron and more this is great for elderly, disabled or otherwise, perhaps people who have next to no time to cook. with a nice selection, good packaging, quick delivery and even a senior discount I'm very satisfied with Top Chef Meals.

I never write reviews but I have to give this place 5 stars for helping me lose 40lbs in 6 months. Losing weight is 80% what you eat and 20% exercise. This place helped me create a regular eating schedule of healthy food for a decent price. Most meal prep places were too expensive. Given, it's not INCREDIBLE food but if you try enough items you get a good feeling of what is good vs. what is average vs. what is bad.

I just keep an excel sheet marking what I liked and what I didn't and just reorder what I liked. Now that I lost the weight, I am not using it as religiously just every once in a while for maintenance. I recommend for an affordable way to "shortcut" to lose weight. Of course you can lose just as much weight if you properly mealprep but that takes time, effort, and I can't even cook so this place works great. For someone who ate here religiously, the price point is what really sold me. Keep up the great work TopChef.

Thank you to the kind folk at Top Chef Meals! After much research on home delivery meals, I decided to go with TCM. I ordered food to be delivered to relatives out-of-state who were going through a death in the family and Top Chef was ready to help by delaying the order for a bit to accommodate the changed scheduled delivery. My family loves the selections and is so appreciative of the thoughtfulness put into the preparation of the food. None of us will hesitate ordering from TCM again!

As most people stated, I was reluctant to use the service shipped via Fed Ex. I tried it and was pleasantly surprised! I have noticed a few posts regarding shipping issues (re: Damaged Products.) I'm guessing they have changed their packaging because I live in Cincinnati and ordered 14 Meals (week of Jan 14, 2018.) They arrived in perfect shape, it looked like great care had been taken in packaging. Finally.

The taste. This is the reason for my five stars. It's restaurant quality food! Definitely not typical frozen meals. They have the right ratio of protein to starch to veggie. I love that you can customize it too. My wife and I LOVE this service. Thank you!

This is a great service. Reasonable prices, and all meals can be totally customized. I order meals for my mom that meet her strict dietary needs, and I order for myself also. Huge variety of high quality meats, fish, vegetarian, etc. Diabetic, kidney, paleo etc., they do it all. Delivered to my door since I live nearby. The order process is easy, I can even do on my phone. This has been a huge convenience for me, as I was cooking mom's meals while working full time and facing other challenges of my own. Thank you Top Chef!

Best service ever! No Chopping, prepping or cooking! A simple reheat. The Meals are delicious! These are NOT your typical frozen meals! These meals are gourmet dishes! Better than anything I could ever prepare. I would Highly recommend this service!

Wow, this is a GAME CHANGER! I work full time, so does my husband and both our kids have sporting events 4 nights a week! We're all running around the minute we get home from work. Instead of hitting the drive through we have meals ready to go! Heat them up, grab a plastic fork and everyone is eating a healthy meal in minutes! Upon ordering I had no idea what to expect.

First off my order came all frozen! Therefore meals were made on Tuesday, frozen and then delivered (frozen) on Thursday. Since these meals are not full of all the "chemicals and sodium" a typical frozen meal has they do have a freezer life. This is like making meals on your own and freezing them, yet who had time for that! The Breakfast options are GREAT too!

My husband ran out the door with a hot meal just this morning! And all the calorie info is on the package so I can log my calories for the day. I recommend these for everyone! Busy family of 4 loves them

I am on my second order of food from this company and I have been pleasantly suprised with there product. I love how the meals are shipped with alot of dry ice to keep the meals cold. Most of the food taste pretty good some items I like more than others. The vegetables are great very fresh and not overcooked. The meals are all packaged very well and elegantly presented.

You can tell this company puts alot of care in their products. The best thing is its good quality food at a very reasonable price. Over the past year in a half I have used several well known meal delivery services and the price of Top Chef meals is much more reasonable than there competitors. Delivery cost is much cheaper as well. They have a great variery of food for all types of diets such as diabetic, low sodium etc. I highly recommend using this company.

These are. not bad. I mean, get real, they're frozen meals, they're not ever going to be gourmet. But if you're looking for an easy, relatively inexpensive, convenient way to get your meals-- this is a good one. I wouldn't say i enjoy the meals, but I can eat them so that's all I can ask for really. Some are better than others, and definitely DONT over microwave or the quality deteriorates rapidly. Solid 3/5.

These meals are absolutely delicious! Being a college student it is so difficult to get fresh delicious meals on campus. There is nothing better than some homemade chicken parm or a nice steak to end my long school day. Most colleges take advantage of us by supplying us mandatory meal plans for poorly prepared food. Top chef meals actually makes me feel like I'm home eatting my parents cooking and its so affordable even on my fairly limited budget. A+

I'm really disappointed in these meals. They're just like all of the other frozen meals you can buy in a grocery store. The food is watery, bland, and doesn't hold heat well. Portions are very small. I tried one week of the food but I won't reorder.

4.5 stars! I was surprised that it tasted so good. I was expecting it to be a little like Lean Cuisine (let's be honest, we eat those for the convenience only, and to keep us from going out and getting fast food. NOT for the taste). But it wasn't anything like Lean Cuisine. I was completely surprised! It was actually flavorful and it filled me up.

I had a few bites of ice cream afterwards and felt like I was still within my calorie limit. I had the meatloaf, potatoes and brussel sprouts and my boyfriend had the pulled pork, potatoes and broccoli. He said that the pulled pork was actually pretty darn good, and he's harder to please than even me. I will definitely be ordering again soon.

Working 12.5 hours a day at a hospital, I literally can't bring myself to cook after I get home from work (too exhausted), and this saves me from spending a ton of money on ordering delivery. and a LOT of calories, too. Almost every meal is around 450-550 cals. I expect I'll be losing some weight pretty soon, so that's exciting.

First order included 14 meals. The prices are excellent and the shipping to Nashville TN very convenient. Portions on sides are a little small.

So this is my second week ordering for myself and first day for hubby, so far I've enjoyed the wide variety of food and all the meals are tasty. This service is so convenient and I look forward to continued business with them, one thing I wish I could have on paper maybe on the order summary is the calories for each line item, otherwise I'm extremely happy! I'll be back to reveiw as the weeks progress.
