Communication with Crateful was not a… Communication with Crateful was not a good experience. My partner and I reached out to them to see if they were a good fit for our wedding, and it became apparent to us that the owners behind the company are just not nice. They became very defensive after it was clear that it was not working out, even after we declined their offer. Needless to say, will not be recommending them to our family and friends.

The first two meals arrived safely last … The first two meals arrived safely last night. Looked good, although the portion sizes were a bit smaller than anticipated -- likely due to the fact that they were cooked meals vs. salads. It would be good for at least dinner to have a hot meal with a larger side salad of fresh mixed vegetables. Perhaps one of the future meals will include this option. The lunch tasted fine, not great, but the rice was a bit too hard (undercooked). The vegetables were wilted, even before I re-heated them. Dinner looks much better. Hoping things improve over the coming days, as this was a very expensive $500+ purchase of a ten-day service. The first ten days will dictate if I ever consider purchasing future long-term meal delivery packages.

I thought the food was mostly good... I thought the food was mostly good and had a nice presentation, but that the overall experience was lacking a personal touch and customer appreciation, right down to the confirmation email. Some of the meals seemed extra oily and soggy (dinners in particular). I tested it out for a few days and decided to go with another chef for my next meal delivery.

Disappointed Honestly, I've been pretty disappointed. I've done a lot of meal delivery services and this is one of the most expensive ones. The menus are pretty boring, inconsistent and repetitive. I chose this one because you advertise with a James Beard award winning chef. However, I've had multiple days of meatballs, multiple days of omelets, one day was just a bunless hamburger and the same desserts every week! I would rather just have a couple nice cookies or a simple cake than that same dessert again. There was also an acai bowl that was gloopy with soggy granola and entirely unappetizing. The problem is these are things I can make myself. I'm paying money to get "innovative" recipes, which I haven't really seen...or at least a little variety would be nice. I say the meals are inconsistent in that some days, they are super light and healthy and other days, they are so heavy and filling (like meatballs and a huge piece of eggplant parmigiana) that it's confusing. There was also a day that the dessert was not delivered, but it was refunded quickly and easily, so kudos to customer service. I will say for the most part that the proteins are cooked well and well seasoned, but everything is just honestly boring and it is disappointing to spend $60 a day and throw away most of what I get.

I tried five different meal services… I tried five different meal services over the course of a year until I finally found crateful. Quality, concept and service! They have an amazing catering service which is amazing for parties!!
