[South Tampa] Mealcab service has always been very good to me. I have tried a handful of other restaurant delivery services, but so far Mealcab has been the most reliable. I still order from other services occasionally (Mealcab's list of restaurants for the Hyde Park area is limited /other companies offer different lists of restaurants, and I'm always looking to find the best service possible) but have had more negative than positive experiences with the other services. It seems all these delivery services go through the same types of issues - wrong orders, cold food, missing items, lengthy delivery time - and although I have had a couple issues with Mealcab, they were relatively minor and were easily and promptly corrected. Other delivery companies I have ordered from demonstrate a significantly higher percentage or mistakes or faulty service. With Mealcab, the service I've gotten has been relatively consistent and the food arrives in a timely manner. This is not to say that Mealcab has offered completely flawless service; one time they did made a notable mistake, but they had it fixed - I noticed an order was missing from the bag (unfortunately long after the driver had already left), but after a phone call and a short discussion, the rest of the order was delivered. I recommend the service if you need food delivered in the Hyde Park area (I believe Mealcab services other areas of Tampa, however I cannot vouch for any of those other areas). Most of my orders have been after 5 or 6 P.M. I have had one erroneous order that was fixed by a phone call. The only other time I have had unsatisfactory service was when I placed an order for Gengiz Khan in the early afternoon - the food took a inordinate amount of time to make and deliver. Usually the Mealcab order page shows you when the order has been received, the food is being made, and the order is delivered - it seemed for the Gengiz order, the "food is being made" time was very long. Of course, there's no way to know if those flags are accurate, as I'm sure Mealcab has complete control over them. I hope this review is helpful. As I said, I've had very good service from Mealcab *specifically* in Hyde Park area - but keep in mind, this may be due to location, delivery time and the restaurants ordered from. If you are thinking about using a food delivery service in Hyde Park, I recommend checking out Mealcab at least once. [I would also like to note that I have never issue with drivers "constantly calling to ask for directions," as one review stated, and I do order from Mealcab quite often.] read more

I used them in March of this year and found them to be prompt, the food was nice and hot and all was well. However, just this week it became necessary to post this to their Facebook page after NUMEROUS attempts to straighten this out amicably. As of this moment (9:45 PM Thur August 16 2012) it's even now impossible to leave a message on their VM, as the box is full!!! So here is the FB post (and if they don't respond to this post, then I will flame them to all of their FB friends, and I will call the police): FB POST (after many attempts to settle this. I Left MANY messages on their VM with absolutely NO response!!!) "Hey you just charged $82.44 to my credit card!!!! I didn't order from you!!! Are you trying to steal my money??? (You have messed with the wrong one!!!) I have tried to call you, but of course we all know you are going out of business so you won't answer your calls! I have left many messages to try and get this charge off of my card and you keep ignoring me! The word is out that you're closing down and stealing money from the credit cards you have on file... Well what happens next is on you...This is your last warning to refund my $82.44 for which you had NO AUTHORIZATION to charge to my card." UPDATE: Their email address is down, gone, failed: "Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently: matt@ntmealcab.com" read more

I've been a customer since Mealcab opened and up till now I was a fan with only minor issues with the company. One being the drivers constantly calling to ask for directions to your home after you pay them a delivery & service fee + tips. After my last order I'm pretty sure it will be my last. From start to finish it was a nightmare and too long to give all the details here. In a nutshell the food was cold and over an hour late. Part of the order was wrong and had to be replaced...took another hour. Then the correct food arrived undercooked and wasn't edible. Too late to fix that evening so I called the owner the next day. He promised to "Comp" my meal and seemed to be sincere. It's been a week and several calls (to Mealcab) later still no refund. I'm sorry but Mealcabs "Mission Statement" doesn't match their actions. read more

What a great service! I placed an order online for TGI Fridays. The driver arrived much faster than I expected. He was very courteous and professional. The food was hot and delicious! I will definitely be using Mealcab again soon. read more

I ordered from Meal cab for the first time yesterday. I ordered dinner from TGI Fridays, as soon as I hit enter an email was sent immediately to let me know the order had been received. My food arrived after about an 1hour and some change, as the driver had a little difficulty finding me. The food was hot and very good although I was not impressed by the amount of food we got for our money, of course meal cab had nothing to do with that. Overall I had a great experience with them. Note: I wouldn't use them if you are not planing on spending a whole lot. There is a $15.00 minimum order requirement plus tax and $3.99 for delivery, which can quickly get expensive. read more

MealCab contacted me after reading my previous rating on Yelp. They were very apologetic, and explained to me what went wrong. They made up for the missed out voucher, which I am very happy with. It's exceptional to see a business care so much about their customers! read more

These people charged me 2.25 over what my order was. and then a few days later, they double charge my mom for one order...on 2 separate days. They are crooks. read more

I ordered food, which never arrived. Two hours later I called TGIF's and was told they don't even do business with them anymore. Thanks a lot, Mealcab! read more

LOVE the idea of Mealcab, and we have been using them sporadically for quite some time. Drivers are usually nice and we almost always get the food in a prompt manner. We used to be able to watch the status of our order from the restaurant receiving it to the driver being out on deliver, but it doesn't seem like that option is offered anymore. I give it three stars because it delivers food from restaurants that don't deliver, otherwise, I really have hesitations about using them because I NEVER receive a receipt. I never receive a receipt for my order, NOR for my credit card. I never sign a credit card receipt when the driver comes to the door, which makes me nervous, and also makes my fiancee and I look like bad tippers. We never have cash, and the website doesn't specify that if you don't put a tip via our internet order, the driver won't be receiving one. Oh well. Needless to say, we only use them as a last viable option; we would rather drive to pick up our food. read more
