My review is of the service I received tonight - I have not yet tried the food. We ordered a few treats for Thanksgiving and I went to pick them up at their Thanksgiving Order Pickup tent tonight. Cole Valley was really beautiful on a crisp November night with all the holiday lights already up and looking festive. I had already paid for my food so I was very surprised when I approached the tent and they not only handed me a cup of hot apple cider but had me spin a wheel to 'win a prize'. Now, this is not one of those 'you won the chance to win - now give us your email' kind of wins....this was a handmade wheel where every single place the dial could land on won a prize. The woman in front of me won a bottle of fancy olive oil and she laughed because her husband won the same - so now they have olive oil up the wazoo but that's OK 'cause it's expensive and very high quality stuff, ha! It was very generous of Luke's to give that away! And I won a pound of coffee! In short, everyone who came to pick up their Thanksgiving order tonight was a winner - they came away with a very nice gift as well as a cup of hot cider. Luke's didn't need to do that - they already had my money for the food so I was very impressed. Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving. read more

I'm a long-time online customer. The customer service is superb and the quality of the goods exceptional. In addition, they never upped their delivery fee during the pandemic, and those who deliver are gracious and professional. I really like this grocery store. The homemade cranberry sauce during the holidays is worth the extra trip and hunt for a parking space, and you'll never make your own again. Yes, there is a 'but,' and that is their website, which is never up to date and some items are mislabeled, although the latter issue is not very common. This has been going on for some time and I am loathe to criticize them, but really feel I must. My grocery habits are changing because I can never count on what I ordered being available and therefore the dinner menu is unknowable (Moroccan meatballs, Acme rustic baguette, to name but two), so I stick to what's been available most of the time. I also totally realize this is a first-world problem, but if I were the owner, I'd like to know my business was suffering. Otherwise, don't change a thing. read more

Had their food at work. Food was pretty good. But customer service is exactly opposite to the food. Was planning to order a catering order... so called them, no one answered. Tried messaging on yelp, they did not reply. I think they are definitely loosing business from South Bay Tech giants :P read more

My husband and I both work full-time while he earns his software engineering degree and I'm working toward my Master's. Needless to say, we don't have time to cook! We are on our second weekly delivery of the Chef's Bundle and we love it. It takes care of dinner four days out of the week. Best of all, the meals are healthy and delicious! I usually have to force myself to eat vegetables because I despise them, but Luke's fresh, local ingredients are have actually changed my mind. Oh, and delivery is free and right on time! I am so happy we found this place. read more

WEBSITE WAS EASY TO USE--I submitted my first order yesterday and picked it up this afternoon. SERVICE WAS IMPECCABLE--I emailed them to confirm produce was all organic and heard back within 24hrs. I also called to see if I could pick up my order early to avoid bridge traffic and they were super helpful. Great service on the phone and in person. FOOD WAS DELICIOUS!!!--We ordered the Family Meal Bundle and so far the salad and meat meal were both awesome. Chickpea and lentil salad had a delicious lemon dressing, and meatloaf was moist and juicy. Portions were generous and very filling. Dinner only took 3 min in the microwave, no prep work, no clean up. Doesn't get any better than that! I've tried Munchery once and never reordered from them again because the food itself just was not very tasty. Luke's on the other hand, I'll be ordering again next week and I can't wait to see what's on next week's menu! read more

WOW! I am super impressed with Luke's Local!! Food was brought in from Luke's Local for a business meeting yesterday and it far exceeded my expectations. AMAZING wraps, salads, sandwiches and cookies. Everything was fresh, high quality and tasty. I've recommend we ONLY use Luke's Local for future meetings based on how fabulous the food was. I highly, highly recommend Luke's! read more

Ordered Luke's Local for an office lunch. 16 lunch boxes, large salad and some jam bars for desert. Easy to order, delivered on time, food was delicious and everybody at the office loved it. I look forward to trying out the grocery delivery soon. read more

This review is overdue, but I promised an update, so here it is. The customer service is impeccable and professional. I got to choose a few items and delivery date to make up for the literally buggy first delivery, so I chose to get 2 rock cods and 1 chicken tikka masala. They arrived a day early, followed by an apologetic email from customer support that they don't usually deliver to the East Bay on the day I had originally requested, and if I wanted them to re-deliver. I figured I had already put them through enough trouble at this point so even though it came on an inconvenient day to us, there's always the fridge! The next day I have to have dinner by myself, so I pull out one of the rock cods. It's really cool how it comes in this metal container that's both oven AND microwave safe! I didn't think that was possible, but I tested it in both just because I was skeptical, and nothing caught on fire. I decided I would save and reuse the container later, and be a true Berkeley-graduated eco-friendly citizen. ;) With all that blabber aside (I've been trying to put this part off because I feel bad for what I'm about to write)...I honestly did not enjoy the rock cod and chicken tikka masala dishes that we ate for the rest of the week. Something about the flavors were off...regarding the tikka masala, I'm not Indian but it did not taste like an Indian restaurant's tikka masala, which is usually probably slightly closer to authentic. My final rating is a solid 3.5, rounded up to 4 because the staff has been so good. Food quality of prepared meals is a 3 to me, the meal kits WOULD be a 4 if no bugs are included, and customer service is a 5. read more

First delivery and I'm smitten! We had a baby in October, and I've been struggling to cover off on all the steps required to get good, healthy food on our table ever since. If I can manage to get to the Farmer's Market, I run out of time to cook. If I cook dinners, I don't have meals to have for lunch. If I make lunches, we end up ordered in for dinner. Just too many things to try to do. Argh! I just got my first delivery from Luke's, and this takes care of so much of the problem. Fresh produce -- including the best strawberries I've ever eaten -- CHECK! A few meals to take for lunch -- CHECK! My family will eat better this week than we have in a while, and I'm so deliriously happy about it. (Seriously ... eating good food makes you happy!) I'm already plotting my next order ... read more

My girlfriend and I have been ordering from Luke's for over a month. We highly recommend them. Once a week we get delivered to our door fresh yummy local produce at a reasonable price. Plus we can order a great meal or two if we do not feel like cooking as much that week. My girlfriend is a huge fan of the "cheese of the week." Luke's has seriously improved the quality of lives in terms of health and food quality since we started ordering from them. read more

Had food catered by Luke's Local at work. They were nicely packed individual boxes which came with a wrap, a plum and a little salad. I had the Sumac chicken wrap, no idea what that it is but hit the spot. read more

Review for their catered lunch We had several wraps/burritos (chicken, veggie and roast beef) and a greek side salad. I was a little skeptical since mentally I was expecting a warm lunch. I personally had the chicken pesto wrap and it was quite tasty. Nice balance of pesto, chicken and lettuce. The greek salad was also nicely done and the portion size was good for our size. Co-workers also liked their meal from the veggie wrap to the roast beef wrap. The presentation were all nice handled. A keeper on our list of places to order from. read more

Way late in this review... from our last year's Thanksgiving meal! So apparently, Luke's Local does Thanksgiving, and we decided to make our lives easier in hosting a party of 9, and have most of it catered this year. The smoked and brined Turkey was juicy and amazing -- and very easy to heat up. We ordered a few sides as well. I will say that for some of the sides, the estimate that it serves 8 to 9 was really high (especially for the Creamed or Mashed Potatoes -- that was for more like 5 people.). Thankfully we also had plenty of our own homemade sides, so it wasn't a problem. The really amazing side dish that we ordered from Luke's was the Brussel Sprouts. We don't even normally like Brussel Sprouts, but this was the best veggie dish I had had in years. The Crab Mac n' Cheese was the one side dish that was anti-climactic and a little dry and bland. But the other sides were really good, and that turkey was among the best I've ever had. The delivery was right on the money in the given time window. Good experience and highly recommend for Thanksgiving, if you're really busy and don't really have the time to cook for a medium-to-large party. read more

Luke's local is amazing! We eagerly await our Tuesday mealbox delivery and have turned it into an incredibly fun recurring date night. We both love to cook but found ourselves making similar things week after week, or not having the time to get fresh ingredients. Luke's has broken us out of our mold and is teaching us how to cook delicious and interesting new dishes each week. I could not be more pleased with the recipes or the ingredients. Anyone who is debating whether or not to start their weekly mealbox service should stop looking and order now! You will not be disappointed! read more

I used Lukes Local for the first time yesterday for meal delivery. I have a 3-hour per day commute, a full time job, a 7-year old and a husband that works out of town. The idea of home-cooked meals delivered is heaven. So I'm really hoping we wind up liking the meals. But our first experience was pretty mediocre. I'm hoping they just need to get the hang of mass-production and delivery because the idea is wonderful, the execution left a bit to be desired. The good: I found the service and delivery super accommodating. The kale salad was exactly as described and expected. Was quite good. The not so good: The Llano Seco Italian Sausage and Orecchiette Pasta looked *nothing* like the photo. The photo showed individual pieces of pasta. What arrived seemed to be very overcooked. The pasta all sort of blended together into a mass with a completely different color and look than the menu. But the taste wasn't bad at all. I think they either over-cooked the dish, or something happened happened in either the mass-production or in the delivery to make the pasta all pasty and sticky. The BBQ Chicken Wings had an OK flavor but were too spicy for our tastes. But the real fail on the chicken was that it seemed far too undercooked. The meat was not dangerous - it was just chewy as all get-out. We were largely unable to eat the wings. It's like they were cooked for only 20 mins instead of 60 and thus the fibers were all still intact and the skin was fully fleshy and a thick layer of fat and the meat was still clinging tightly to the bone. I've made chicken wings for parties and never had such a bad texture on the meat. I think they were undercooked. Please Luke, work out kinks like these and we'll be loyal customers! read more

Luke - How we love thee! Our newborn baby was hospitalized on and off for the first month and a half of her life. The stress of her health condition combined with a toddler needing attention and a hubby balancing a more than full time job sent us into a minor eating fiasco. Our dear friends came to the rescue. Of all the meal services out there, Luke's was (and is) far superior. Everything arrived on time, easy to prepare, healthy and delicious!!!! There are a number of food delivery services around, and all other options pale in comparison. Thank you to our friends for introducing us to Luke's. And thank you to Luke's for saving our family and keeping us healthy and happy through this difficult time!!!! read more

I shop at the store in Cole Valley several times a week. There are some real gems here. Like Jane's Olive Bread. Yah, it is $9 a loaf, but it is incredible. Try their homemade Kale pesto - delicious! Great selection of Cheese (I like the Raw Milk Goat Cheese) and the Deli counter is happening. They aren't the cheapest place to shop in town, but I'm sick of the Whole Foods scene, and I like the neighborhood vibe. read more

We've been ordering almost weekly from Luke's Local for the past couple of months. We are a busy, working couple with a child so it's been a lifesaver having a fresh healthy meal prepared when we get home or a quick grab and go lunch available on work days. We usually order a mix of the salads, lunchbox, fruit bundle, and just tried the ramen meal kit last week (AMAZING). There really isn't a better service out there that combines fresh (not frozen) ready to eat meals along with pantry goods, fruit & veggie additions, and eggs and milk. I highly recommend Luke's Local! Their customer service is outstanding as well! read more

I set up food delivery services with both Luke's Local and Blue Apron. After three deliveries from each I will definitely be staying with Luke's and canceling Blue Apron. The food has been nothing short of convenient and delicious! read more

Ordered dinner to be delivered after we flew in. All items were fresh, delicious, and presented beautifully. Delivery was on time and extremely gracious. All in all, a great experience. Well done! read more

Super friendly and easy to deal with. Ordered some thanksgiving stuff (delicious smoked turkey and amazing black jet pies). Prices are very reasonable for the quality and they offered to deliver, though I chose to pick up so I didn't have to store prior to thanksgiving. It was easy to get to and easy to park. read more

My husband and I have been so delighted with the quality of the dairy and produce we order from Luke's. We now exclusively buy their eggs (so much better than the ones in the store, visually and in taste!) and whatever seasonal fruits and veggies they have available (their strawberries and citrus fruits are off the hook delicious right now). They did get one thing wrong with our order once and they were so quick to respond. I was really impressed with how available and generous they were. We can't get everything we need from Luke's, but their available local products have become a wonderful and permanent compliment to our weekly shopping experience (who doesn't love delivery)! read more

Love, love, love this delivery service and I hope it never goes away! The fresh flowers are such a nice touch. Delicious meals, fantastic produce, beautiful flowers, professional delivery - I'm a big fan. read more

what a great delivery service. Katrina even took the time to help me jump start my car when I realized my battery died. Does customer service get any better than that!!! Super excited about this great little company. Thank you Luke's and thank you Katrina! read more

Very good food and Excellent Taste. The wraps were huge! I finished the wrap. They are Recommended for people with big appetites.

My fiance and I love Luke's local!!!! We just finished our luke's local meal and it was so delicious, satisfying, fresh, and easy and fun to prepare that I felt compelled to write a review! Every meal we've had has been sooo good. The recipes are straight-forward, but complex enough so that you feel like you're learning something. I find myself eagerly awaiting our weekly cooking night! Sincere thanks to Luke's local! read more

Luke's Local is a godsend. My husband and I both work full-time and have a toddler. By the end of the day, it's hard to want to cook a healthy meal for everyone. I searched all over for meal delivery places and decided to try out Luke's Local. OMG! It has been such a weight off my shoulders to have heathy, home-cooked meals delivered right to my home and all we have to do is heat them up. They are delicious and best of all, there is no mess to clean up! read more

Tried Luke's Local for the first time tonight and loved it! I ordered some fresh produce and a few of the dinner meals. Everything was nicely presented and exceeded expectations. I'm usually skeptical of meal delivery services, but in this case I will definitely be a repeat customer. read more

Our friend recently had a family member pass away so I was looking for a nice condolence gift to send them vs flowers or a lame edible arrangement. I put together a really nice selection of charcuterie type items, fresh fruit, treats, etc and it wound up being less expensive than most of the cookie cutter gift baskets I looked at before finding Luke's. They delivered promptly during the pre-arranged time and our friend and his wife were very grateful. read more

The market's OK, but nothing extraordinary. They're known for their takeout meals and there is a minimal amount of cooked protein in the deli case. The meals look OK, but seem too pricy for what you get. There's the convenience of having a market in this location, but I don't see anything worth traveling across town for. read more

First time catered a whole Thanksgiving dinner for the family. Luke's is amazing! Rather than ordering the full set, I got a half turkey, 4 side dishes (mashed potato, stuffing, brussels sprouts, & yam), their spiced cranberry sauce, and a pecan pie. Everything was de~li~cious, esp. the brussels sprouts and turkey which are hard to impress in general! The driver arrived on time and dishes were packed nicely with instructions. All you need to do is throwing everything in the oven for an hour till they are warmed up! What I ordered was enough for six adults (around $170). No leftover in terms of the side dishes. Very glad that I let Luke's prepare my Thanksgiving this year, and would definitely consider doing it again! read more

I eat out a lot and my Luke's Local meals are at least as good as my restaurant entrees that cost at least twice as much (plus tip, etc.). It's a great deal and the food is so much better than I imagined. Service has been great, too. I could eat every meal from Luke's Local, seriously, and I am a picky. read more

Loving Luke's - wonderful food fabulous service great prices - I can give up cooking for Luke's.

I tried Luke's for the first time, I was not really impressed with the flavor. Maybe it's just not my kind of flavor. It's more of an American thing, BBQ sauce and mustard, green beans. The fish becomes overcooked once you heat it up, but the veggies (broccoli rabe) and cabbage still on the hard side. It's quite hard to chew and it get stuck between my teeth. Three weeks passed after my wisdom teeth extraction, my jaws get tired of biting the veggies. Also the fish is Overly SALTED. My lentils mushroom also salty. So is the chicken. All proteins on the salty side. I've used Sprig many times, I much prefer their dinner meals and flavor. I will try Luke's again and see if they offer diff kind of flavors (Asian, Latin, Italian etc) and reduce the SODIUM. The combo also on the gassy sides, cabbage with white beans (my stomach kept popping afterward). Overall I'm glad that this kind of food service is booming in SF. I also want to add that it's nice and healthier to use sweet potato or yams instead regular potatoes. Delivery much preferred before noon instead of 2-5pm. Mine came at 4pm. Great concept, no hidden tax, delivery, I really hope this company will grows :) read more
