I've ordered 3x now I believe and I would have to say the last delivery was the absolute best. I love Asian foods and he hit it out the park that week. Food taste: In other weeks, I've had to add my own sauces. I always order the deluxe portion for 20% more food because the regular size is too small for me. I cook and add more veggies because most prepared foods don't give me enough. The only thing I needed to add to these last meals were a pinch of salt, but this makes sense because the food is made for all types of people. Delivery: I love the fact that the food is delivered to my doorstep. They deliver on Sundays and seem to be providing service every other week now. There are 4 options available but you can adjust how many servings you want of each meal. Service: No issues and I get a prompt response each time. read more

This was my first time doing a meal prep service and thought it was great. Saves so much time shopping, cleaning and coming. All the meals were solid with really good flavor and they kept well. My ranking would probably be 1. Peruvian Spiced Salmon 2. Red lentils and chicken 3. Beef & Potatoes 4. Mexican Street Corn Mac. I liked that they include the macros on the label for you to see easily. It's healthy, simple, but delicious! And the delivery service was great, I live in an apartment building and they brought it all the way to my floor and left outside my door. Would highly recommend. read more

Great food! Healthy, organic, macro conscious, convenient, tastes good even after being frozen. Chef Swole is the perfect option when you don't want to eat the same meal prep every day and you like variety. They're also responsive to customers and take any feedback very seriously. Order in bulk and you can get the cost per meal + delivery at a very competitive rate. read more

The best decision we could've ever made. I care for my elderly mom who is pretty much independent. They're are days though she doesn't feel like doing much. Found the meals delish! read more

Meals by Chef Swole is an excellent and local meal service that offers a great variety of delicious, meal prepped foods. A macro service is also offered. Meals can then be tailored to your macros and can even be changed upon request! It is a great and local business that can compete with the online businesses very well. My only wish is that they offered a weekly option to satisfy my sweet tooth as well, otherwise I heavily enjoy the meals selections. read more

Just moved to the area and Meals by Chef Swole was the second meal prep service I tried. Meals are absolutely delicious and I love that everything is organic and local! They also have very prompt customer service if you have any questions. read more

This food was delicious and fresh and sustained me after having my first baby! It was always delivered on time straight to my door. I highly recommend Meals by Chef Swole! read more

This is my first time trying a meal delivery service. I am just about to start a major kitchen reno and didn't want to eat take out every single night, so I decided to give Chef Swole a try before the reno starts. I have to say, my husband and I are VERY pleased and have gone past our one week "trial run" and are now entering our third week. First, I feel like I spend wayyyy more money than this at Whole Foods every week, and only get a few meals out of it. Second, I am a working mom, and by the time I get home after being stuck in traffic, cooking is the last thing I want to do. Dinner is done, and I can spend more time with my daughter when I get home. Third, the food is really, really good. Ingredients are high quality and what I'd make at home if I had the time. Fourth, portions are awesome. We signed up for the deluxe, and I split my meal with my daughter (15 months old) and I am more than full. My husband is always full off of one meal too. Sometimes for lunch we will even split a container in half and be fine (and we get more meals out of it!) read more

I've recently started ordering from meal prep services because of my busy work/commute schedule and I wanted to give Chef Swole a try. I just had my first meal (baked cod with brown rice and brussel sprouts) and I must say that it was delicious! The meal was cooked just right; Not salty and not overcooked or dry. The website is very easy to order from and gives clear information on when to order so that your food is ready for specific delivery/pickup days. I like that you can build your meal and have a choice of portion sizes. You also get updates on your order status and delivery/pickup reminders. I ordered enough for the week so I can't wait to try the other meal options I have. If you are considering giving meal prep services a try, start with Chef Swole. You won't be disappointed! read more

Thank you Chef Swole for solving a big problem in my house- Dinner! My husband an I both work unpredictable hours and neither really enjoy cooking. We strive to eat healthy but had a hard time finding great options that did not involve a lot of prep, cooking and clean up. This has been a game change in my house- even my 4 year son loves the donuts! THANK YOU! read more

Meals turned out great. Very healthy and taste amazing. Will definitely be a customer for a long time.

outstanding as usual. wide variety of reciepes and ingredients that I would never cook myself.

I am someone that has been trying to clean up my diet forever - the hardest part for me has always been cooking well enough where I still want to eat what I cooked a day or two later (I try to cook in bulk). Over time - I have tried various meal service plans (Jenny Craig and Diet to Go) but neither one of them stuck (the food portions were built for someone much smaller than me and the food was just blah). Luckily - I found Chef Swole. Chef Swole - when compared to other places appears to be bare bones (some of these others places...their websites are just wow)....but what it lacks in a website bang it makes up with healthy, nutritious food that is delicious and much more affordable than their peers. Their bulk food option is amazing....I usually buy that and then just transfer the food smaller Tupperware containers that I have at home. While I have tried most of their food - their flank steak, salmon, blackened chicken and zucchini are just mouth watering. Their other options are great as well but the items above are my winners. Other great things about Chef Swole - they deliver food to you twice a week (Sundays and Wednesdays) and their delivery charge is tiny. Finally - to anyone on the fence because the price seems high. Consider this - ever since I started buying food from Chef Swole - I have only gone out to eat 3 times. Usually when my friends go and get food - I join them but don't eat because the food that I have at home is better than what they are eating. The money I have saved by buying from Chef Swole is A LOT. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

My wife and I love their meals. Cooked to perfection and always well balanced in terms of macros and calories intake. We had a few hiccups when we switched from delivery to pick up, but it was quickly resolved, and they even followed up with us apologizing for the inconvenience. The only downside is the, sometimes, unpredictable time of delivery, which can leave a customer waiting at home for most of the Sunday (meals are not delivered refrigerated), and this is the reason why we opted later for picking up. We believe it is because the quick, and maybe unexpected, popularity, which is definitely a good thing. They always send a text and email within 30/45 minutes before the delivery, but if you have plans for the day, it is something that must be considered. We could not recommend their meals strongly enough. read more

AMAZING FOOD AND SERVICE!!! Results in 3 months! I have been struggling to eat clean and shed some weight since getting a desk job. I would try to cook my own clean meals and start off and would quit in a week or two. After trying a few meal prep services and different meal types I decided to try out Chef Swole due to the accommodation of Macro counting, customer service, delivery, food options, and taste. After 3 months of intermittent fasting and Carb cycling with meals provided by Chef Swole I've lost 17lbs in 3 months and 2 inches off of my waist. I'm finally on track to get my abs back after years of struggling. Chef Swole has gotten me focused on my goals and with an increased frequency (currently twice a week) in the gym and consistency I have no doubts I will obtain my goals. I have nothing but praises for Chef Swole and I stand by his services!! read more

Chef Swole has very tasty prepared food options for those that like something similar to the paleo plan. It's suited for those that like to work out or put muscle on.. He recently added a quick re order feature to the website for the 5th star. Even though it's not full functionality. He listens and is a nice guy. I like many of the food items. Overnight oats, bison burger, salmon options, yum! And with all the right macros.. read more

After trying several different meal prep companies, Chef Swole comes through for the WIN! Meals change every week and are always fresh, super tasty, and fit my macros!

Healthy, high quality, delicious meals! The convenience helps me make better food choices. The menu changes weekly so I don't get bored and I've tried new things I would have never considered before. The customer service is top notch, and they are super responsive. Highly recommend! read more

You've just landed on the BEST meal prep service! Their costs are more than fair, food is too good to be true (especially the donuts and cookies, still can't wrap my mind around them being healthy and tasting that good), delivery is always when they say it will be, and they tell you exactly where the food comes from! I HIGHLY recommend trying chef swole, and when you do, live a little and add some nutritious sweets! read more

If anyone is looking for an affordable, organic meal prep and delivery business, check out Chef Swole. The food is delicious and healthy and meat and carb portion sizes can be controlled.

As a Marine, I find it highly important to find the best fuel to stay fit and complete the mission. I have been subscribed to Meals by Chef Swole for a month, and each week the food keeps getting better and better! I used to spend hours every Sunday shopping, cooking, and meal prepping for myself--and that was mostly just rice, chicken and frozen vegetables. With the demands of my job, this just became too time consuming to be sustainable. Chef Swole makes it so much easier to have fresh and delicious meals every week without breaking the bank. Compared to other meal prep services in the area, Chef Swole by far provides the best value. read more

New to Alexandria. Was exploring options. I went with the 12 meal bundle and was not disappointed! Easy to order, timely delivery, didn't break the bank. read more

As a fitness competitor, I appreciate that Chef Swole offers a lot of tasty options that can be tailored to fit my dietary needs. It's a HUGE plus that the foods offered are organic and locally sourced! A regimented/healthy diet does NOT have to be boring, and this company gets it. Not to mention that because they deliver the food themselves it is always fresh, never frozen. I know that with Chef Swole I'm getting quality, not food that's just been mass-produced, then packaged in a big warehouse. As far as customer service, I give Chef Swole an A+ for always keeping clients informed of changes to the menu! Thanks Chef Swole! read more

Tastes amazing, was no wait for pick-up, and food made how I wanted it. Chef gives suggestions on orders if you don't like eating certain things or if you're looking for a certain taste. Great for people on the run and don't have time to prepare food properly when trying to diet. read more
