DineWise is a meal preparation service that has been providing both gourmet and nutritional meals…read moreto customers for over 45 years. They have a longstanding reputation of quality prepared meals and certainly have no lack of meal options, providing an array of choices to mix and match, or choose a standard type of meal. This company may have the largest prepared meal menu in the country, including easy-to-shop categories such as beef, poultry, Italian, seafood, and breakfast. They also have a full holiday menu. I highly recommend you subscribe to their newsletter, like I do, because they offer some amazing special offers for registered members. I purchased a gourmet meal package of nine meals for $159.99. With my email discount, I saved $48, making the cost of the package $111.99, and $12.44 per meal. I felt like a happy customer before I tasted anything. My first meal was the Blackened Catfish with Roasted Red Potatoes and Seasoned Carrots. I just love your American catfish; it is truly a treat to experience, and it doesn't have to be fried to taste delicious. The blackened seasoning is nothing short of the perfect match to this white meat fish. The Roasted Red Potatoes will always be a little better if you toss them on a skillet for a few seconds, but they are still very good. I would have preferred a green vegetable instead of carrots, but they were good, and still had a crunchy texture. I should have bought a case of these amazing prepared meals for $12.44. Next I had the Beef Sirloin Steak with Morel Sauce, a Risotto Rice Cake, and the Corn and Red Pepper Asparagus. This meal normally sells for $21, so it was a great value at $12.44. This is a real piece of steal cooked to a perfect medium rare, which allows you some room to reheat it without drying it out. It may be a sirloin, but it cuts and eats like a filet mignon. The Morel Mushroom Sauce is a perfect complement too. The Risotto Rice Cake is not creamy like a typical Risotto, but the flavors are there, and it makes a wonderful side. The Asparagus is infused with a very flavorful sherry vinaigrette. My taste buds went around the plate, bite after bite, saying, "Wow this is good." The flavor profiles of the meal components are outstanding. Well done Chef! In my opinion, the goal of cooking American comfort food is consistency, and not to re-invent the wheel. This Beef Stuffed Pepper falls right into that category. If your Mum made them for you, chances are you will appreciate the homemade culinary skill that went into the preparation of this meal. The meat is delicious, and the rice is perfectly proportioned to the size of the entree. The pepper isn't mushy, and retains a crunchy texture that makes this meal a winner in my book. The rice side dish might be the most flavorful rice dish on their menu, and I'm pretty sure it only appears in this dish. The string beans with little wedges of almonds make for a nice texture. This is a great value at $12.44. I received two of these meals in my package.

Last night I didn'feel like cooking so I made the Brioche crusted chicken breast…read moredinner.....delicious, even my picky husband likrd it. The chicken breast breading tasted terrific with just the right amount of seasonings and the chicken was nice and tender. The green beans were slightly sift but the flavoring was very good. Finally the Spainish rice was quite tasty and nicely done, not mushy. I don't expect perfection with premade mail order meals but this one was very good. I admit there were some Home Bistro meals that were just okay and even one meal that I threw out. It just depends on the meal, how it's cooked, and your tastes. Overall I was quite impressed with this meal.

A letdown. I ordered the Top 10 Favorites for my Mom for Christmas. When she was hospitalized…read moreshortly thereafter I stayed at her house and tried a few. Because I am a pescatarian I tried the tofu meal and the Mediterranean cod. I have a very hard time believing that the braised tofu is a top choice among your customers. It was the worst tofu I have ever had. Spongy, dry, flavorless. The cod was passable but certainly not gourmet quality. I cooked the risotto exactly as package directions said, the inside was still frozen. So I reheated in microwave but the rest of the meal was now cold. So reheated that in the microwave. Now the cod was overdone. These were very expensive meals and not any better than grocery store variety frozen food.

So far I have eaten two of the meals included in the package I ordered -- Mediterranean Chicken with Artichoke Sauce and the Orzo with Peccorino Superbowl. Let's just say I am seriously underwhelmed. The superbowl came not in a bowl but in a plastic bag with instructions that referred to leaving the lid on while cooking. Huh? The chicken was fairly tasty, but the meal came in 4 different boiling bags, each with its own timeline, so it wasn't exactly easy to prepare. The boiled french fries had a consistency about what you would expect. For this price I could have had a pretty nice meal at a lot of restaurants. I cannot imagine why this company is still in business.

I wish I jumped on this bandwagon earlier than last week…read more I used to do my own meal prep, but eating the same thing multiple days a week got old, along with the shopping, cooking, and juggling two toddlers. Pricepoint- I work in Brooklyn- try finding a healthy meal for under 10 dollars. Also break down the time to drive to the supermarket, shop, prep, cook, put in containers. With that being said, I feel the price is reasonable. Quality- everything I ordered was very enjoyable and didn't regret any dish I picked. My only complaint- a few of the dishes had undercooked rice. Awaiting my next order and many more. Game changer for me.

You can order on the app, or order on the kiosk when you arrive. You can either pay with your card or pay in cash in person. I ordered from Michal Symon's Mediterranean place. I ordered the Chicken Souvlaki & Avocado Sandwich. It was described as chicken souvlaki, tomatoes, cucumbers, red pepper, feta, avocado, romaine, hummus, eggplant spread, and crispy shallots. It was all on top of a pita which was placed in a container. It made it very difficult to take out of the container and I wasn't able to eat it as a sandwich. Flavor-wise it was tasty though. It is very wasteful though. The containers of food go in a bag and my can of soda went in another bag. There's a much better way of doing this and not wasting so much material and plastic. I was also told my name would be called when my order was ready. This was not the case. I did opt-in for text updates. That's how I knew my order was ready. When I received the text I grabbed my order from the shelf and the employee was not very nice about it. She needs better customer service training. There are only about 4 tables inside. The wait was about 20 minutes. I feel it's one and done for me.

I had visited a different location of Redefine Meals before for an event, but this was the first…read moretime I was visiting this location, closest to me. The inside of the store is very neat and minimalist, helping you focus on what you need to grab. The sales associate was super friendly and happy to help, even though she was clearly about to go off her shift as her replacement was coming in to get settled. They did have a BOGO deal on their website for brand new customer, which I took advantage of. The meals were nice in that all of the nutrition information was broken down. I wanted to go with protein rich but lower calorie options that I could easily heat up at work, so I grabbed a chicken penne alla vodka and the low carb hibachi chicken. I do wish the hibachi chicken came with a bit of spice as the sauce was only sweet, but I just threw on some sriracha once I got home. Portions are very generous. I actually divided up the two meals into three containers. The veggies in the low carb hibachi chicken meal tasted great. Overall, especially with the BOGO option, these meals are good quality, fresh, and reasonably priced. They also had a lot of nutrition conscious snacks and breakfast foods. I would visit again when I'm in a bind for meal prepping.

Highly recommend Redefined meals. I was excited to see Redefine meals open in Farmingdale…read more This location is clean, has ample parking and a huge variety of healthy options! I've tried so many of their fresh and frozen meals - not limited to shrimp, salmon, steak, chicken meals. There are a variety of flavors as well and I love how clean their ingredients are! My husband and I gravitated towards redefine meals over other meal prep stores because of their clean, simple ingredients and use of avocado oils. I also love how they offer frozen meals as well for a discount. I bought a few of them and there was no lack of taste or flavor when warmed/thawed. I am also extremity grateful for the first responder discount offered. It is helpful for those who don't have the best schedules to at least have a healthy, fueling meal so I really appreciate that offering. They also have discounts if you buy 10 meals as well which I think is rewarding for everyone! Please check out redefined meals in Farmingdale. You will not be disappointed!

I recently visited the Jericho Turnpike Huntington store and picked up a meal that was clearly…read morelabeled as $7.77. However, at checkout, I was told the price was $9.89. When I brought this to the assistant's attention, she called her supervisor and explained that the label had not been updated to reflect the new price. While I understand pricing errors can happen, good customer service would have been to honor the clearly marked price and correct future labels--not insist I pay more than what was advertised. Instead, I was told I had to pay the higher price. It left me questioning the store's pricing practices. This isn't the first disappointing experience. On another occasion, the same assistant refused to let me return a meal I had just purchased--despite the fact that I hadn't even left the store and only wanted to exchange it because my daughter changed her mind. Additionally, I've noticed that the portion sizes of the meals have been shrinking noticeably over the past year. Overall, I'm becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the service and value at this location.
