I've been getting meals from Marcien at Neighborhood Gourmet since I moved to New Braunfels in…read more2020. I gave him 5 stars because he is doing an excellent job! Every meal has been perfectly cooked, there is a wide variety of main dishes from which to choose, and several sides. Our personal favorites are the strip steaks, the roasted chicken and the salmon. For vegetable lovers, the creamed spinach is to die for. Portions are very generous. A dinner for two could serve four average eaters. Marcien asks when you want to pick up dinner and it is always ready and hot. Cash or check only. You can put the container in a warm oven if you're not ready to eat. We haven't tried them, but soups and desserts are available. Take advantage of this great neighborhood asset!

I have been ordering from Farm Fresh off and on for the past two years. I elected to go with…read moreproduce from local farmers as I have suffered from various health issues and decided that a change in my food may be a way in which I could improve my health. Also, ​​ how food is handled is critical. Before food reaches the customer, the chance it has gone through many hands is higher, and the foods are stored longer before reaching you. Often, food additives are preservatives added to keep the food fresh for longer. However, buying from the farm is safe. It comes from the farm or grocery direct to you. Additionally, farm-fresh foods help reduce stress and fatigue. Veggies and whole fruits are fiber-rich foods that lower the effect of depression and enhance your mood (score)! I have ordered fruit, vegetables, meal kits, beverages, meats, etc. from this vendor. I have had great experience with customer service, and concerns regarding missing or incorrect items or verifying delivery times have been addressed promptly. The goods from this vendor are on the pricey side, but well worth the money for fresh food delivered to your home. #supportlocal

Chef Steph is truly exceptional. We are vegan, and she has an incredible ability to transform any…read moremeal we choose into a thoughtful, elevated, and genuinely delicious vegan dish. Every single week we are blown away by the flavor, creativity, and care she puts into her cooking. Her meals are so good that we honestly no longer want to eat out. The food she prepares for us at home is consistently better than what we would order at restaurants, and that says everything. Each dish feels intentional, nourishing, and beautifully balanced, with just the right touches to make it feel special without ever being heavy. Every meal has been outstanding, and the consistency is what truly sets her apart. Chef Steph has completely changed the way we eat at home, and we feel incredibly lucky to have found her. If you are considering working with her, do it. You will not be disappointed.

I never thought I'd be able to justify the luxury of a private chef service, but I keep this…read moreservice as a lifeline in my back pocket for weeks that we just need a little extra help, like when the demands of parenting and working during a global pandemic seem extra burdensome. So far, we've had three appointments, and they've all been wonderful. For each one in advance, you choose the time/date for your chef, three entree items and three sides. The "sides" is a bit of a misnomer, as you can often make meals of these in themselves. They include salads, hot breakfast casseroles, pies, and more. Recipes range from Mongolian Beef to Shepherd's Pie, homemade granola bars, Thai Chicken salad, etc. I imagine if we did this weekly, the options might get monotonous, but doing it every once in a while works out well for us so that there are usually a few new options that appear the next time we're ready to book an appointment. For each item you'll see an estimate on how much extra it will add to your bill in groceries in addition to the base chef cost. The chef will stop at your local HEB to shop for your ingredients fresh right before your appointment. You pay a $35 deposit, which you can get refunded if you cancel the appointment by the stated deadline (and they send you frequent reminders -- they're not trying to pull one over). On average with tip and the cost of groceries, we usually spend around $225 for our family of four. The meals last us a while. Sometimes we share them with friends who could use an extra meal, or sometimes we freeze the leftovers. There are instructions for reheating, freezing, etc. As stated in other reviews the chefs are generally efficient and very tidy, leaving your kitchen looking spotless, with a huge amount of prepared food for you to enjoy (it's hard not to dive right in). Communication by text is great. During COVID, the chef has worn a mask during the appointment and the service has had very clearly communication about canceling in the event of COVID exposure, etc. I appreciate that they're taking it seriously. If I had a couple of critiques, it would be that whatever process gets communicated to the chef regarding ingredients might need to be streamlined. The past two appointments, our chef has had to make a couple of grocery store trips because he forgot items, and this prolongs the preparation process. I would also love to see a bit more variety to the menu options. It would be nice to have it broken down roughly by type of dish (seafood, beef, casserole, etc.) and price (budget friendly or special splurge). Other than those minor tweaks, we love the service, and I imagine we'll keep using it as occasional customers.

When I had to call to cancel order they were rude. I ordered my food an hour before my lunch so I would get it during my break.

Don't be a coward and say it directly to me instead of as you are walking outside. I get it if you are short staffed and/ or backed up, but at least be apologetic about it, not rude, and maybe the reviews would be different.
