SCAM As you can tell from a quick google search this is a great concept with poor execution. Their customer service is so bad that you are guaranteed to get scammed one way or another. They play all kinds of games to make money. Wether its renewing you into a more expensive plan without any notice or refusing to give refunds for meals that you couldn't pick up because the restaurant was closed- one way or another you will get scammed. Avoid!!

Mostly Great Before MealPal, I spent $12-$18 on lunch every day in SF. After switching to MealPal in September 2018, I have saved over $1000 on lunch. The options are usually phenomenal and range from healthy salads (which I try to eat) to more hearty things. My only two qualms are 1) portion size varies hugely by restaurant (and it's hard to judge based on a picture), which they've tried to combat by adding more transparency to the menu 2) UI/UX could definitely use improvement especially on the desktop version

Great deal all around It’s a pretty great selection of different food items at reasonable prices. Eating out for lunch in the city can be expensive, but meal-prepping every day is tiring as well. MealPal allows me to do a little bit of both for almost the same price as prepping every day.

Bad UX, dark patterns, not worth the cost Not only are the restaurants you get access to limited, along with the food options (mostly chicken), they charge your account without letting you know for months and refuse a refund. I’ve lost hundreds of dollars to this passive subscription. A terrible company with dark patterns all over their UX. Steer clear and avoid at all costs!

BEWARE OF SCAM I loved the experience at first, but the company does not make it clear that you have to pay for another month of meals in order to access credits you have already paid for. For example, I paid for a month of credits (72) and at the end of the month I still had 42 credits left. When I tried to use these credits I was told that I cannot access them unless I pay for another month. When I asked if I could just cancel my account but use my credits that I had already paid for, the customer service team was very rude to me. A little kindness and empathy goes a long way and Meal Pal does not offer that. To me this feels very scammy because I essentially paid for meals that I can no longer get. It is a scam to advertise this company as a more affordable option when they force you to pay more money to access credits that you have already paid for. Don't make my mistake!!!!!!!!
