Have really been enjoying Thistle. Very delicious plant based food overall, at a cheaper price than takeout. Lots of options are raw (meaning also not processed and no cooking) and there is variety every week. There have been only a few meals that I have not enjoyed. And the vegan desserts are delicious. I get bored if I eat one of their meals for lunch and dinner (they are tasty but not huge, and sometimes I want carbs or some fish, since I'm a pescatarian). But I'm having fun ordering several meals a week, along with snacks and dessert, and not having to meal plan or cooked to be healthy. I definitely recommend trying it out if you don't eat meat and are a foodie who doesn't have time or energy to cook! read more

I used to love Thistle. Until last night. I have had severe food poisoning since eating the marry me chicken meal. It's been 14 hours since consuming that tainted meal and I am still sick. I canceled my subscription but I can't cancel the delivery coming Thursday. I will not be eating any of the meals from the delivery yesterday or the upcoming one I can't cancel. It's going straight into the garbage. I will never be using thistle again read more

I have been ordering Thistle since early November. I have had about 5 weeks of deliveries so far. I live in the Greater Seattle area. The food is great. It is fresh and easy to prepare. It has been a huge help in my effort to eat healthy. However, where the company has an issue is the process to pack up and deliver the items. Out of approximately 5 weeks I have had 3 orders that have been incorrect. Tonight they delivered two bags. One was full and the other just had an ice pack in it. I was missing a couple of the meals. The last time this happened their customer service followed up again and apologized then credited me back the funds and gave me a future credit to use. This is nice but I prefer to not have to keep doing this. They also advised in the last email "We've also taken some additional steps to flag your account for special attention from our pack teams." This clearly is not working. Thistle you have to do better. Great food and concept but the delivery literally is not working. read more

Thistle - Empty bag with just ice pack. This was the 1 of the two bags. The other bag was full but the order overall was missing a couple of items. - Food Delivery Services Near Me

Love the food Hate the inability to reach anyone for customer support Website difficult to navigate Cancelled items didn't get cancelled They get the food part but interaction with customers is not working read more

Well, so far it's been off to a great start with Thistle. I'm very pleased. My salads have all been to die for-- and far better than I even expected. Absolutely delicious! I was very surprised at how very fresh they are, and that they remain fresh all week. That's a huge plus for me. The portion sizes are perfect, and keep me full / well satiated. For next week I've added a few breakfasts as well as a couple of healthy desserts to my order. So, we'll see how well I like those. I feel good about this... and I am looking forward to a great (and healthy) relationship with Thistle. Thxx. read more

Their food is soooo good for you! Always happy with the presentation and taste. My whole family enjoyed the food.

Delivery drivers do not pay attention to where they drop off meals. They keep delivering my neighbors food to my house. My address is posted by my front steps. This is aggravating. read more

Meals were ok in the first delivery. Second delivery they flopped big time. I realized the 24 carrot muffins were the same as the Mango coconut bars...how does that work??? So now I have trust issues since we have food allergies. Then two whole meals were missing! There is no way to send a message through the app and when I noted in the review in the app selecting that the item was not received...nothing happened. So now what? I gave up and cancelled. read more

Thistle - What is wrong with this picture - Food Delivery Services Near Me

What I love: very tasty healthy meals gluten free meals with the option of vegan as well (many of the meals you can add meat to) I have been recently trying to eat more plant based and this delivery service makes it super easy. I do like that most of the vegan meals have around 20 grams of protein. I notice some vegan options at other places don't do a great job of making sure there is adequate protein What's just okay: I do feel like I see a lot of the same things on the menu and there isn't a wide variety of options. I do like several of the salads that they offer every week though so an easy way to add a couple of more meals to my delivery It's a little on the expensive side but you are getting quality nutritious meals What I don't like - the delivery window is between 3-6am. It's too early to have someone calling me to let them in the building. I wish they would adjust it to more normal hours but they do drive it from LA area I guess they want to avoid traffic read more

I recently started with Thistle meal delivery and so far so good. I've tried many meal prep services, but this time I really wanted no prep, ready to eat meals for breakfast and lunch. I also am trying to eat less meat, so this allows me to easily limit meat to just dinner. I've not been disappointed in any meal. They have all been delicious. I've tried the tahini-java smoothie, apple cider harvest salad, 24 carrot gold muffin, waldorf salad, and more. Seriously, I've liked them all! They also have juices, soups, and salads in a jar. I've not tried these yet, but stay tuned and I just ordered a few to try. The only suggestion I have is if the meal is best by being cooked, please note this and the method of heating on the order page. I don't have a way to saute a meal at work, so it would be really nice to know! read more

We tried Thistle for about 4 weeks and decided it wasn't for us. Portion size was great, a packaged meal can easily be split by 2 people. My unfortunate downside with this delivery was that since I have a very sensitive GI, it reacted negatively to many cIf you are into exotic spices and flavors with fresh ingredients and strong GI to handle it's for you. Due to the nature of their menu involving great amt of produce (some fresh, some not) I had real serious trouble with some packages gone sour before the due date and my stomach couldn't handle it any more. read more

the meals are bland and simple. The amount of 3 ingredient "salads" I got is crazy. Over $13 for a bowl full of spinach (which is so cheap) and a few shreds of boiled chicken is just not filling or interesting. I was always adding things to spice them up, but for that price?! Out of all of their dressings, I've only had 2 that were good. All the other ones were so bad. They make weird meals like banana and tahini muffins which I decided to give a try because it would at least be edible right? Wrong! It was absolutely the worst tasting thing I have aver eaten in my life. But they don't even refund you for meals you don't like so it's basically "you try our food experiments at your own cost" I ended the subscription because for 6 days of only breakfast, dinner, and dessert it is over $200. For some mid food? No thanks. The meals are honestly so basic, I was always thinking "maybe I missed something in the box". I'd recommend Factor or Cook Unity instead. They have better customer service too. To make it worse, they say that they refund for issues with the order, not for taste. But they won't trust you if you tell them anything. I got a bibimbap bowl and it was completely dry even though it said it came with sauce and I got an egg scramble that literally tasted like it had gone bad. I asked for a refund and they told me that they "appreciate my feedback". I asked for a refund and she said that she checked with someone and they said there was sauce in it. So she refused to give me a refund because she doesn't believe that I am telling the truth. So even if you do have an issue with your order, you won't be getting a refund. So try at your own risk read more

Be very weary of this company. Before signing up for a delivery, go ahead and search their website Thistle.co for a customer service phone number. You will not find one. So, when your delivery never shows up, you'll have NO ONE to talk to and you won't be refunded. There's a contact form on the website, but no one will ever respond. There's a phone number listed on yelp, but you'll see it's just a recording. So now I have to put in a dispute with my credit card company because this company does not care one bit about service or making things right when they literally don't deliver your food. read more

Located in San Diego and just completed my first week of Thistle. So far everything has been great. I chose the vegan option, 3 meals a day for 5 days a week. I have felt full and enjoy the different meals everyday as I don't enjoy repeating meals personally. The instructions are easy to follow if some meals needed to be heated up ahead of time. I also quickly realized last minute to put my bag outside for the new order to come. Not sure if that's the process? But I did, and everything was delivered with a new ice pack etc to stay fresh. If it is, maybe sending a text the morning of delivery to remind folks. I've joined for convenience, higher nutrient food and to avoid the grocery store as much as possible along with cooking lol. I actually really like the delivery hours I chose evenings 6-9pm I believe on Sunday and Wednesday. And they send you tracking of your delivery just like DoorDash etc would. read more

Wow.... Such a huge disappointment. I hate to say it, but the first meal I opened, I found a hair inside of it?!! I mean, common guys! The taste... was basic. For the price point, 100% is not worth it. I paid extra for the meat/ protein that I couldn't locate on my plate (I mean there was, but so little I thought they gave me an option without it). I thought these people were magicians when it comes to salads. This review is for San Diego area. The expectations were so much higher. Nope, just canceled read more

The salads are OK... And I would continue getting them from time to time. But I quickly got bored of the same thing over and over. I wish I liked it more. I am a Salad person all my life. When my wife says, what do you want for dinner I go let's go get a salad. read more

Disappointed with this meal service. I never received y first delivery and I contacted the support many many times without effect. no one has gotten back to me and no refund has been issued. I was very excited to give this a try but I highly advise you to stay away from this as there is not customer service reach out. read more

This is a bittersweet review to right, on one hand, I really like their meals and products however they just can't seem to get their deliveries on point. They deliver twice a week and always get it right on Mondays but when it's time to deliver on Thursday they just can't seem to get it right. After two weeks of subscription, I was saddened to cancel my subscription with them due to these issues with deliveries. Oh well, time to give someone else a chance to make money... read more

Soooooooooooooo goooooood! I have tried every delivery service under the sun, including meal kits, and Thistle is the winner. I'm not vegan, I'm not vegetarian, but this service is an easy way to quickly infuse my diet with healthy delicious meals constructed with whole ingredients. The variety contained in just one salad would be something that would have me circling Whole Foods for hours. Additionally, I was skeptical at first because generally salads are soggy by the time you consume them - not here. Great service, fair pricing, excellent food, easy to maneuver app. read more

This is completely personal preference but I did not like the food. It was fresh and beautiful, but just tasted too healthy and did not fill me up. The options, delivery, and packaging were all good. I loved the idea of healthy fresh salads that didn't require any work, but the price per item along with the taste were just a no for me. read more

Was really excited to try this, but then saw delivery times were 1-6am?! I live in a building downtown where I have to let people in, with no where to drop off food, and there is no way I'm waking up at 1-4am for a food delivery. Insanity. read more

Great company that delivers good quality and delicious food. I'm very impressed by this food delivery service. I love the freshness of the produce and how filling the portions are. I'm really happy with it so far. read more

Thistle - Yummy, fresh and filling! - Food Delivery Services Near Me

Thistle promises to be amazing fresh food delivery. Maybe up in the bay but down here in SD it's pointless. Salad was slimey and soggy. Juices aren't offered down here and worst off you can not substitute meal, or add in allergy info if you are out of the Bay Area. All in all it equates to very expensive garbage dumps. read more

Thistle - Food Delivery Services Near Me

I have tried multiple meal delivery companies and this one is one of my favorites. The flavors and portions are great, I just wish you guys took back the bags as I felt bad wasting them. If you add low carb meals in the future I would love to know. read more

The food is damn good. I wasn't a super healthy eater before this and I am not a big veggie person. However, I am actually surprised every time I eat one of the meals because they always look like they won't be good, but then they are. Someone puts thought into these recipes no doubt. The portions are really big and I always have leftovers so I reduced my number of dinners per week. Great value too for the quality, reliability of shipment etc. highly recommend. read more

The food is fresh and delicious. We feel amazing eating all the veggies with no effort. The variety is pretty good too. O enjoy eating a fresh vegan meal all ready to go! Spices and sauces are on point! Delivery is definitely their downfall. The times are odd. Our neighbors wonder who's around at 3 am! Anyway delish! read more

Thank you Thistle! My wife and I were looking to supplement our weekly menus with healthy, easy to prepare dinners. We couldn't be happier with the delicious food we get from Thistle. Dinners are reasonably priced; filled with amazing food, contain variety, nutrition, and are a snap to prepare. Every day we talk about how appreciative we are that Thistle is a part of our lives these days. read more

This has made my diet so much healthier! Just 3 days a week of eating plant-based food and my body feels better. The portions are generous and usually is 2 servings. They have excellent customer service and I appreciate that they take the bags and freezer packs back every week! So glad to have found Thistle. Now just waiting for them to start using non-plastic products and it will be perfection. read more

Thistle is a great pre-made vegan delivery service. My husband and I were very excited by the delicious food, however it became boring as every meal has a similar flavor profile and we quickly grew tired of beans and quinoa for every meal. We are going to pause our subscription and try a few other services. We will probably do a combination of 2 days of Thistle, 2 days another delivery service and 3 days or cooking ourselves or going out to eat. It is a great supplement to cooking and for that reason I give it a 4. read more

Thistle meals are ready to eat with little to no cleanup. My wife gave me several meal delivery services to choose from. Needless to say I chose Thistle. Losing weight depends on good healthy food and portion size. Thistle meals has both. read more

4 times I had ordered dishes off the menu for that week that didn't arrive in my order. Once, One of the dishes didn't come with the main ingredient. Like other reviewers have commented, the salads are slimy and the freshness is questionable. I shouldn't feel like gagging when eating because the meal tastes old. Also you better really like mushrooms, they are literally in everything. When I emailed customer service about the issues I got 1, $15 credit. For the price, the issues in ordering and the inconsistent freshness, it really isn't worth it. I don't want your $15 credit to order more old food. I want a freaking refund. read more

Excellent meal service for those striving to be healthy!! High quality food. Know I'm fueling my body well. Because of the way they combine food I'm trying things I wouldn't normally eat. All very yummy. While I like some dishes better than others, there's nothing I haven't liked. I initially ordered all vegan protein but found that was too many beans for me. Adjusted to add animal protein. Just the right amount. The meals were then a better match for my personal preferences. Snacks are tasty with variety. Smoothies have all been good. The app is super easy to use. Easy to swap items and skip weeks. Customer service has been superior. Highly recommend Thistle! read more

Thistle is awesome. My wife ordered for herself initially because it's easy and healthy, and after trying some of hers one day, I had her add a subscription for me. I heard a quote on Instagram that vegetarianism is like sex - if it's not good, you're not doing it right. Lol. Thistle does it right. Highly recommended. read more

I absolutely LOVE thistle. The food is amazing. The chefs are seriously genius! So many creative dishes filled with healthy ingredients! I would never have time to make these salads. I'm so happy I'm getting some plant based meals in my diet! Every single thing from breakfast to snacks are way above average!! Oh and the portions are huge. The peanut butter Grenache bar... OMGGGG. I broke it into 3 smaller snacks!! Keep it up thistle!! I'd love to try your homemade almond milk but I haven't seen that on the menu yet! The juices are yummy too! I feel like I'm putting good stuff in my body when I eat/drink thistle meals!!! Thank you! read more

I absolutely love Thistle! The meals have been amazing. I am not vegan, but have been trying to eat more plant based meals. These meals are PERFECT and extremely creative, delicious and filling. I currently have two subscriptions because I love the meals that much. I may have to order more, because my young adult children keep helping themselves to my supply when they're home! Lol I am thrilled I will soon be able to increase my order and have them hand delivered to my area! Whoever comes up with these delicious creations is genius! You have added so much nutrition and joy to my life! Thank you! read more

Sad to say I had to cancel my thistle subscription last week. The food and snacks were actually amazing and price and prep was pretty good. My big issue is their delivery times. They can only deliver between 1am and 6am (always seemed to be around 2am). This wouldn't have been a problem except the two places I lived at while getting thistle delivered needed me to come down and let them in. So I would pretty much have to wait till 2 AM for their delivery or wake up when they would call me. Every other meal delivery service has daytime hours, or even one of thistles biggest competitors who has the same delivery times offers a Monday night 6 PM to 9 PM window for those that can't work in that timeframe. You would think for the money spent, and just sheer convenience to customers they would offer at least one alternative. read more

I highly recommend using Thistle if your goal is to be healthy or lose weight. 2 protien shakes and 2 meals a day supplemented with a bit of exercise and im down 40lbs in 8 months. Its also delicious so that helps too! read more

I love the food, the variety and the convenience of not having to cook. Deliveries are good here in San Diego.

Food is really good! Delivery is simple and efficient. Customer service by email and phone is amazing, with prompt response times. I'm really impressed! read more

Absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared plant-based meals. The food is creative, non GMO, organic, and highly nutritious. Delivery is excellent; I leave the bag out at night and in the morning my food has arrived, in exactly the spot I requested. No issues with packing, delivery or freshness. For the first time in my life, meal planning does not stress me out. And that is a very big deal. I have lunch and dinner delivered for six days, and order extra on my Friday order for Sunday. Could not be happier. read more
