Food not that good it looks like cat poo and doesn't even come close what they show in the website. Even my mother won't eat it. The biggest problem is their delivery service, there is no tracking provided and if the shipment doesn't arrived then you're really screwed. Nobody at Mom's Meals can tell you when where is your delivery and they tell you to wait and wait for something that might or might not arrive. I don't recommend this to anyone who is disabled, not worth the stress, and you may end up killing your love one over stress and starvation. read more

I work as a nurse and have as part of members benefits offered mom meals. Majority of my members have been very happy and says moms puts meals on wheels to shame. I started having health issues with my age and needing to be on a low salt diet. Been on the meals over a month and have lost 10 pounds. The meals have higher fiber that helps to decrease the hunger, low in salt and not high in calories. The private pay is little confusing so that I wish was a little better. But I will say good price, quality food for the price. My uncle is esrd and said he loved moms meals and lost 35 pounds. read more

Ive been receiving moms meals since December 2023. Every single month there is an issue with food quality . Consistently every month the 14 oranges are garbage, either being so tough that they can't be pealed because they are so dehydrated or for the last 3 months they are delivered with mold and rotting!! Then of course there's the constant issue of the meal seals being broken and food slopped all over everything in the box! So at the end of day if you want to pay for something that you are going to immediately throw away, I would steer clear of this company that could care less about the quality of meal. I would understand if it was once or even twice but it is every single month!! Do not waste your money!! read more

I'm sorry to say but I am very disappointed with Mom's meals. I've had nothing but disappointment. I have had two deliveries. 1st one came warm was not edible The one I received today. A day late had nothing I had ordered with the woman I spent 20 minutes to with.i was getting all pasta meals with the first order so I ordered everything without pasta but one choice.i just received all chicken and pasta Alfredo. No other dinner meals. I'm also not a breakfast person but a couple sounded good so I ordered a couple well the other meals from the 8 pasta and chicken Alfredo were cowboy breakfast and oatmeal breakfast. That was it. Oh. And rolls and bread. The food is ok but darn. I can't eat the same thing EVERY DAY read more

unreliable. no tracking. they lie about delivery dates & then since you are chronically ill that leaves you to fend for yourself & so if you are in pain & too weak you just starve & your condition gets worse. I have lost weight & my stomach is stock & my immunity dropped I am very sick now. thank you moms meals read more

Meals are kind of small but are 1/2 the cost of other meals so eating two could help if needed. Food is pretty decent.

The worst customer service ever I was in a coma for 2 weeks and my insurance shows mom's meals they spoke with the supervisor that was their representative I called mom's meals and because they fit me into a category I was only able to get two meals and when they were late on my meal I asked to switch to Salisbury steak instead of teriyaki vegetable and they wouldn't do it they didn't get the address right it was just a horrible experience instead of seeing what I could eat they put me in categories of what I couldn't eat which limited me to Salisbury steak and a vegetable meal teriyaki stir fry so I literally got 4 weeks of meal of teriyaki stir fry and nothing else When they made their mistake I asked if they could switch it to Salisbury steak at least I could you know switch them up they said no they don't do that they were not willing to budge an inch I would never recommend this company it's horrible read more

See all

They forgot some items and repeated a meal. I will co wider them again for a second chance. They were good to have some food ready

If I could give it a 0 I would. The lady who apparently manages and handles customer service is incredibly rude. After 45 minutes of her blaming us for the order that was incorrect, the order was never fixed! Shipments are being delayed without notice and food is going bad. Someone should test these meals before having our elderly eat them. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY. Not too mention their food is low quality. read more

As our health declines the boxes are getting heavier due to ice packs. unload at the door or outside. Food is not good. We have gotten sick off some of the dinners. Brother tries to eat it then asks me to try it to see if it is just him. Nope got sick as a dog. This is the fourth time and not sure what to do. Veggies are either too spicey or undercooked. Plain simple food is ok. chicken tenders, sandwiches. Thinking of canceling. Oh and they cut back to seven dinners instead of 10. Blessing in disguise. read more

I was given of box of Moms Meals from the American Kidney Fund.... These were anything BUT renal friendly, poor quality, and not worth the price... they do not pass the label test, and it's a rip off.... read more

I was just out of the rehab hospital after hip replacement surgery when I got a call from Mom's Meals, saying they had shipped me 14 meals (28 are covered by my insurance). I told them I was too weak and could not deal with 14 frozen meals at that time, but the lady said it was too late, they have already been shipped. I asked her if the driver could at least bring them inside the house, and she said she didn't know about that. The next day, an ENORMOUS cardboard box arrived. the driver, thank God, put it on the countertop in my kitchen. Had to use a cutting knife to get it open. Inside there were styrofoam trays and ice packs, and a huge number of black containers. I had to 1. clean out my freezer to make room. 2.Go through the meals. Six of them sounded really awful, for instance the pork fried rice. I coulnd't give that six away, so I I thawed them out then put them down the garbage disposal. 3. Drag the huge box out the front door so that SOMEONE...definitely not me, perhaps one of the neighbors...could cut it down to be recylced. Couldn't figure out what to do with the ice packs. So, when I tried one of meals, right away I realized that they were just awful, much worse than hospital food. Fake meat and always too little meat, undercooked frozen peas and carrots, rubbery eggs, unseasoned and basically, unappealing. Admittadly I am a great cook, but these were just, well, VERY BAD. So the nightmare went on when I called them to cancel the next huge box of meals. The lady on the phone really gave me a hard time, said I had "contracted" for 28 meals, and that I could not cancel because the next 14 meals were already on their way. So I said, listen, if anybody delivers more of those meals here, they are going to sit outside in the driveway and rot in the box. Forget what the neighbors were going to think. She backed off a bit, "well if I cancel they'll have to be destroyed". Boo hoo hoo! MOM'S MEALS IS ABSOLUTELY THE WORST! Don't go there ! read more

I have not used this service yet , but will need it very soon. (Maybe) I spoke to one of the ladies on the phone, I asked if they made vegan means do to I can't have any dairy, eggs or meat products, the person who was a helped plan you meals insured me Vegetarian and vegan is pretty much the same thing well it's really not. I know I'm very blessed to have the opportunity to use this program and not have to pay for it ,,, there really is not anything I can eat and not get ill. There are a lot of vegan people out there read more

Moms meal nutrition facts are misleading and inaccurate. I order my mother the diabetic friendly breakfast and lunch (10) of them 5 each. There was more sugar content in 5 of the meals than in a fast food meal. I called to inquire, of course they gave me the hold on let me check with our Nutrition, she said they go by carbs. However, a diabetic sugar intake matters the most. They have a meal with white rice, for a diabetic. Smh. Someone needs to speak with doctors to see if these meals are actually healthy for the people who are ordering. My mother at the meatballs and wheat pasta lastnight, her sugar spiked 97 points. So, I wasted close to $100 for meals she can't eat. read more

Their customer service is fictitious and meals are horrible. Don't be caught in their trap. The phone number is as phony as they are. I'd load pictures; however, they must have fixed this site. read more

The food is delicious but delivery is not good. I've been with them since February and they have messed up my deliveries 4 times. Once I got the wrong food and the other 3 times I did not get my delivery. I was forced to find meals for a week until the next week's delivery. Really, really annoying. read more

I chose the heart healthy meal plan and was a bit confused when they offered separately a heart healthy or a low sodium meal plan. The heart healthy meals I received were so high in cholesterol and sodium that my blood pressure was extremely elevated and I feared having another stroke. I went and got the label from my breakfast tray and saw that there was 260 mg of cholesterol and 570 mg of sodium. If you eat three meals each day that exceeds The cholesterol intake and sodium intake of a heart healthy person! They need a nutritionist to inform them that low sodium and low cholesterol are needed together to maintain a heart healthy diet! I called the company as I had checked of the breakfasts and dinners and noticed all of the breakfasts exceeded the cholesterol limit of what my cardiologist had suggested as cholesterol intake of no more than 200 mg and under 1000 mg of sodium per day. Just one meal exceeds these limits and unfortunately I did not get an option to change the diet preference to meet my specific medical needs! They offered me the same " heart healthy" box but would choose the meals lower in cholesterol but " unfortunately you will still have the high sodium content, so do you want us to send you that, because that's the only option my supervisor is offering, you cannot change meal plans!" I obviously declined the offer. That is no way to run a so called medically nutritious food corporation! Any dietician, or nutritionist would know these are not heart healthy or even nutritious meals! Shame on them! I feel bad for the elderly who either cannot read the labels on these meals due to poor vision or even cognitive limitations that they aren't paying attention to what they consume. This is DANGEROUS AND WRONG AND LIFE THREATENING, all due to passing off unhealthy meals as " healthy and nutritious! PLEASE SOMEONE LOOK INTO THIS SITUATION! read more

The meals arrived when they said they would in good condition right to my door. Affordable and tasty GlutenFree meals are what I've had and I'm grateful for Mom's meals. read more

I've been meaning to leave a positive word about this company for a couple months now. Our experience was through a medical insurance benefit for a couple weeks of meals following a hospital stay. The meals were simple in presentation and preparation, which was the main point for the given situation. For "stay-fresh-in-fridge" type meals that could easily be heated and served, the ingredients looked fresh and healthy and menus seemed colorfully balanced. And... well... he really seemed to like the food! ... (only the container and fork were left! I stayed out of the way to avoid losing a finger!) From my perspective, not having actually tried the food, the presentation was appealing and the food looked decent. It was a helpful and much appreciated benefit to have. I was thankful. The whole thing was very organized, the plan clearly laid out, temperatures listed, heating instructions, ingredients, calories, etc. listed for each one, and the variety of foods/meals that they sent was quite extensive. They even included a couple specifically vegetarian entrees. In addition to presentation and variety, I could tell the packaging and delivery of their product was a priority. Things were wrapped neatly and carefully boxed with big ice packs for a fresh delivery. Well, maybe not so much the one box, which honestly seemed like a complete fluke, but a couple of the meals had leaked on the others inside the box, where it looked like the ice block tipped/slid into and punctured the packaging. This was what actually prompted me to write this review in the first place. Mom's Meals handled the complaint (let's call it a grumpy old man rant!) with such professionalism and grace. The representative was outstanding, literally could not have handled the situation any better! She was polite and apologetic for this type of delivery and had an entire replacement order sent next day. Redirected what could've been a negative experience into a positive one! Very pleased and would recommend this company! read more

I received 14 moms meals from my Medicare insurance due to being released from the hospital. The meals were okay, I gave three stars because, hey they free. They called me and asked for my preferences, any allergies and so forth, I wish that I had said low calorie, hindsight. Almost all of the meals came with an apple type crisp, very sweet. The meals were very calorie dense with a concentration of simple carbohydrates. The directions were clear and very easy to follow and the entree was tasty. I wouldn't say no to free food if I were offered this again, but I might fine toon my preferences to vegetarian and low. calorie. read more

the food is disgusting and it's very hard to remove the covering film after it is cooked. I ordered 10 meals; have tried 4 of them most of which went down the garbage disposal. Will probably throw out the rest without even trying read more

Meals are a total disappointment. I had to throw away several of them. Food is not fresh. Lacks taste and variety. Received 2 weeks free with insurance after a hospital stay. I would never buy these. Grocery store frozen dinners are less expensive and have a better taste. Do better. I had one package that was not sealed and I spent 30 minutes wiping off the other meals. read more

They sent me meals that were almost expired as fresh. Some taste good but everything is pasta or rice and often any kind of sauce is scant.

I really needed this service but they totally dropped the ball. I'm tending a dying mother and cannot leave to go get groceries. I paid for 3 weeks of meals only they never showed up . So now I have to struggle to get food delivered from other sources because their offices close after hours and on week ends. I am not pleased with this service. Easy to get started but no follow up. No one is answering my calls or e mails. If you are in my shoes, don't trust this outfit. read more

The menu is very well coordinated and tasty. Very easy for my caregiver to heat and serve

cheap crappy food taste poor port man's food there no way I pay for this 12$ a dish it's fithy food don't buy it it's crap

I was recently released after several days in the hospital and was sent 14 meals through my insurance that came from Mom's Meals. We are more than 1/2 way through what we got and so far everything has been good. I do add a touch of salt, but all in all, I am very satisfied and happy to get this benefit. read more

The food is ok, some of it average, some of it pretty tasty. The biggest complaints I have are the meatloaf and pasta came with barely a teaspoon of sauce...blech The apple oatmeal and scrambled eggs....the eggs were as expected but the oatmeal was gross looking. It was blended with a plop of what looked like apple pie filling on top. At first glance, it looked nothing like oatmeal more like a scoop of refried beans, I did force myself to taste it and after I doctored it up a bit, it wasn't awful but it was a stretch to even taste it based on the appearance. read more

Mom's Meals - It is oatmeal, believe it or not! - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Ankeny, Iowa

Moms meal was responsible for food delivery through United healthcare but kept putting me on hold for '2-5 days'

Of course your are going to defend your meals. You have more negative reviews than positive. Just say your going to improve your meals instead of making excuses for the very bad food. The problem is you do not have competition for people who have the insurance benefits. We have no choice but you! Like I said one of the meals was good , only one out of 14 meals. Anyone can say they follow the guidelines, that too is an excuse to sell awful food. read more

We had to canceled the service. The main two reasons: 1. Food is barely palatable. Even when you can add spices and you follow the preparation instructions exactly, the meal is overcooked or undercooked. 2. Customer service: Communication within the company is very poor. The times I called to make an inquiry, I received conflicting information from different representatives. One of them even left me hanging on the line without calling me back. Don't waste your time. Find a different provider of meals. read more

Absolutely disgusting food. The meatloaf and pepper steak are the same piece of meat, which does not taste like beef. It's horrible. I had to spit it out in the garbage. I have had consistent problems with them sending me food I do not want. They are charging $8.00 a meal and you are lucky if you are getting 400 calories. We are supposed to get 2,000 calories a day. You do the math. The food is awful. The BBQ chicken is another hunk of something that is supposed to be meat but it doesn't taste like chicken. I don't think I've ever had wose food and I'm not exaggerating. read more

mostly vegetables and bland white rice. needed to be thawed to microwave in 2.5minutes. vegs tough to chew used too much sugar in the tiny jive packs, deserts and breakfast cerealpancake and egg were rubbery! skimpy on "meat only a "suggestion" of beef or chicken in the " dinners" marked. " meat" "chicken". I didn't get sick but i had to suppliment it with eggs , meat. spinach, and other iron rich food! it had a couple of good cookies in it and it was fun to open up the big box my insurance company had order it to be presented after I came home from a 5 day stay in hospital with pneumonia!s read more

Only redeeming value is that the meals were provided gratis by our UnitedHealthcare insurance! Pretty disgusting fare -- especially the "Chicken Alfredo" which both looked and tasted like vomit. Far too light on the mushy vegetables. These meals were neither palatable nor adequately nourishing. read more

I'm a fan of Mom's Meals. I don't order them regularly but about twice a month. I order 5 meals and sometimes 10. What I like about Mom's Meals is they are easy. They are sealed well so I can put some in the freezer and some in the frig. They are not food like going to a really nice restaurant but they are good and just the right size. They come boxed very well and ordering is easy. Often times I don't feel like cooking so Mom's Meals are perfect. They are much better than other meals similar to them. I would like to see a greater variety but I'm happy with what I order. I also believe the price is good and I like many of the side dishes or desserts. I think one has to experiment on what meals are best for you. There are some I don't like so I don't order them. I'm a fan of the pancakes and sausage. I usually order two of those when I order. I give them five stars in comparison to some of their competitors. read more

Horrible, tasteless food. Worse than hospital food. The chicken patty is not chicken breast, it is some form of processed junk. The beef stew was more like soup and contained about 4ozs. I wish I could give it zero stars. Don't waste your money. read more

This food is not suitable for humans or animals alike. This company was supposed to send me a box on a Saturday and never showed up so then I called and they said OK we're gonna send it to you on a Tuesday and it never showed up until Wednesday. Then they said it was still going to be fresh so I did have a meal for dinner which was the Salisbury, oh my God I'm paying for it still my stomach hurts so bad and it affects my joints. Makes my joints ache. I am a homebound, senior, and they're poisoning their seniors. How do they get away with serving this crap to the older generation saying it's good nutrition food when you read the labels it's just poisonous. I will try to find a federal agency to complain to because Medicare shouldn't be paying for this. When I call to complain about not getting the box in the first place, they were rude I don't need that and one day they'll be seniors and see how they're treated. This is the worst company ever thinking that they're doing a service for seniors when they're just trying to rake in the money that the federal government will pay. They need to be investigated and fined for miss treating their seniors so badly. read more

Received a sample of 21 meals yesterday ordered by a case manager with my medicare advantage insurance. Had the sweet & sour chicken for lunch. It was barely edible and bore no resemblance to any sweet & sour chicken I have had at a good Chinese restaurant. Now 2 hours later I feel like I ate a 5 pound ball of lead, Told my wife the rest of the meals are hers to do what she wants with them. read more
