The take home food was delicious. You even get a discount for ordering a day ahead. I recommend the chicken fettuccine and grilled vegetables. The wedding cake was a great dessert.

This was a gift from very dear close friends. I received the delivery close to noon. The young gentleman was very courteous, clean clothes etc. someone I did not mind coming into my home. The food! Oh my gosh, it was delicious. The green beans were to die for my favorite, as well as the mashed potatoes, salad, and sliced brisket! I will definitely be stoping by to get my meals again!

Ordered for Thanksgiving a week in advance. Called Wednesday to see what time we could come pick it up and it turns out they ran out of food. So we got nothing.

Great customer service and amazing value. Weekly menu with take and bakes, and the variety of options, makes life easier when you're too busy to cook. We've ordered many things from the menu, between keto friendly, favorites, sides, desserts, and chicken salad. All so good.
