It was so much fun and everyone was so helpful and made me feel welcome. I talked to someone who's been coming here once a month for over 10 years preparing family meals. My husband was initially skeptical but after seeing it firsthand he's a believer. I'll definitely be back. read more

I have been using Dream Dinners for over a year now. They bring convenience to my very busy life. Carla and her staff are awesome. Always very accommodating and make the nights that I go in to prepare my dinners feel like a fun night out, complete with tastings from the next months menu. We choose meals based on what we like and so far have not been disappointed. I have found in my year of making of 12+ meals a month I have been able to cut my grocery/ food bill almost in half. On those busy nights where I get home after dinner time I can pull out a meal for our family of 4, a pre-made bag of salad and have a healthy dinner ready in about 20 minutes for about $15. Compare that with buying McDonalds for a family of 4; unhealthy, still going to take 20 minutes by the time you have driven and waited in line, and probably more like $25. For me it doesn't make sense not to go. read more

This place is amazing and a lifesaver for busy &/or workaholic people. The ladies who work here are so nice & friendly & I've been coming here for about a year & a half now. The meals I pre-package & can store in my freezer to defrost a couple of days before I need them are a major lifesaver to my busy work life. It also held keep a variety of foods in our meal regimen, whereas I used to stick with only certain types of foods before I started doing the Dream Dinners. They are very cost effective & everyone who comes here for the Dream Dinners services agrees that using them really cuts down on your grocery shopping trips that can lead to buying extra food you don't even need or end up using. I plan on sticking with these for a while!! read more

I've been coming here for a few months and am so far fairly happy with our meals. While there have been a few we didn't care for, I believe thats more to do with our pallet then their recipes or ingredients. While not cheap, its less expensive then a restaurant meal and significantly more healthy then fast food. I also like that I'm serving my family a mixture of flavors to avoid the typical busy family meal rut of tacos, baked chicken and spaghetti. Unlike a lot of people who plan a girls night out, I usually come in the morning. They are accommodating about my well behaved 5 year old coming with me and I can usually get 12 meals done in a hour. My only complaint has more to do with corporate policy then this specific location. I wish you had more serving size options then 3 or 6. For my family of two adults and two kids, 3 is too little and 6 too much. I usually work around this with chicken or pork chops by ordering a three and adding a extra piece of protein at home. While this works I would far prefer to simply order a serving for four. I enjoy cooking and on the weekends often cook elaborate meals for the family. I appreciate that Dream Dinners allows me to serve them a quick, health, tasty meal on the week nights as well. read more

I've been going to Dream Dinners for about 2 years now & I still love it. The staff is great & they keep the store very clean. I've never really liked to cook but they've made it easy because most of the prep work has been done & it's also great for portion control because you can see what portions are supposed to look like. lol. I would recommend Dream Dinners to everyone. read more
