The food is farm to table and always arrive in neatly packaged containers every Sunday evening so we have dinners stocked to enjoy the following week. I have had meal services with others before and this is by far the most skilled cooking of farm to table meals. I think it's a good value. One recent review I read was really not fair about "scam". That's just not true but I understand the frustration that led to a misunderstanding. I know the owner/chef was busy and working to try improve their marketing, ordering app, and communications. It's a small business so you just have to contact her directly if there is an issue and she will take care of it. I did that every time and I was patient because I want this good cooking to last to feed my family. Seems like great people. I've spoken to her and met the staff who deliver food to my house. We look forward to ordering each week!

I made a mistake of signing up for 4 weeks of meal delivery, and now I am out of hundreds of dollars. The first delivery was 2 days late and required multiple attempts to contact the merchant to get the ordered meals. Week 2 meals were delivered but be aware, if you happen to be in the shower when they show up with your delivery, they won't leave your meals on your secure porch and will just drive away with your order. Week 3- NO DELIVERY, NO CALL, NO EMAIL. Again, I had too contact the merchant to try to figure out where was my food. Days later got a response that they had an issue with their refrigerator and simply neglected to let me know!!! With over a thousand dollars already tied up with this merchant, I had to scramble to purchase food for my family elsewhere. Due to the "NO CALL NO SHOW" for the week 3 delivery, I politely asked the chef to immediately refund me for the remaining 2 weeks worth of food that wasn't delivered. I explained that because they failed to honor their contract, I had to make other arrangements for the meals. The merchant NEVER REFUNDED me for the remaining 2 WEEKS worth of food that they NEVER DELIVEREDA. I ended up having to contact my credit card company, and guess what? The merchant is lying to my credit card company, claiming they delivered all 4 weeks worth of meals! I am reaching out to the Office of the Attorney General and filing a fraud complaint next. Stay as far away from this thief as you can!

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.

I work long hours in the city that often turn into late nights working from home. Before Healthy Fresh Meals, I struggled to balance spending fun, quality time with my daughter in the evenings while also cooking, catching up on chores, running to the grocery store for items I'd forgotten to purchase, and caring for our two pets. Add cleaning up after cooking, my daughter's extracurriculars, a challenging commute, and a few additional hours of work and I was exhausted. This meal prep service has not only given me back precious time - it has saved me a significant amount of money otherwise spent on healthy, yet costly dinners and lunches from the mainstream delivery apps.

(Review for Wedding Catering): We absolutely loved Chef Mac, Pinke, and the entire Flavorture team…read more We hired Flavorture via the approved caterer list of our venue, Planet Word. We came into wedding planning, shrugging our shoulders knowing that wedding food is usually kind of meh. But Flavorture is playing a different game. At our tasting, every bite of food made us gasp it was so good. Maybe it was wedding bliss, but I have actually never seen my partner react so enthusiastically to any meal. We couldn't believe we could have food this good at our wedding. When Chef Mac and Pinke came out to greet us, my partner immediately stood up and slapped Chef Mac's back because he was so grateful for the amazing food. We loved also chatting with them, hearing their stories of why they loved cooking and believed in serving others through food. You could tell it's a vision and passion for them which made us all the more glad to support them. Throughout the wedding planning process, we communicated freely and Chef Mac and Pinke were incredibly generous with their time. They came to our rental pick-out time to help us choose plates and silverware, offering super helpful feedback on what looked best with each other. They were also extremely generous and gracious with costs, often waiving certain fees or additional costs. It really made us feel supported and cared for. They also gave us FOUR entree options -- all of which were amazing. On the day of, their entire staff was professional, attentive, and also fun to be around. The cocktail hour and reception went by seamlessly due to the amazing efforts of the Flavorture team. It actually was a deep regret that on our wedding day we didn't have more time to eat the food because we were so busy greeting guests - I never got to taste the dessert!! We loved the whole flavorture team and they were an integral part to making our wedding day seamless and meaningful. THANK YOU!

The vibe was lively and fun, and the space itself is a good size without feeling overcrowded. The food was a mix for me. The charred oysters were excellent, full of flavor and probably my favorite bite of the night. The curry crab legs were not my style. I found the curry sauce overpowering, but that may just come down to my own preference for crab legs with butter and old bay. Service was decent, though it did take longer than expected to get our bill at the end. One thing I did not love was the automatic 10 percent service fee. When I asked about it, I was told it was standard, but I know this is something some restaurants do to cover costs for staff. I personally feel like that should be built into the menu prices or handled by the business directly rather than passed on to customers as an extra fee. That said, I appreciated the atmosphere and the fact that it is a Black owned spot with great music. I would come back for drinks, oysters, and the vibe, but I would skip the crab legs next time.

I've tried a handful of spots, and the only one that really stood out was Hanu Poke. The portions are generous as I was able to make two meals from my order. The other places I've tried--Detroit Brick Pizza, Streetbird, Wing Trip, and Tejas BBQ--has been just okay. My latest order from Tejas--brisket and BBQ pork sandwiches--was better than fast food, but nothing special. The app is easy to use and gives good order updates, and prep usually takes about 20-30 minutes. Pickup is hit or miss--sometimes it's ready on the shelf, other times you have to ask someone to grab it. I usually do takeout, but the space itself is clean with some seating--just a bit sterile, and there's basically no service beyond pickup. Biggest thing is managing expectations. It's not fine dining--just a step up from fast food, with slightly higher prices.

It's kind of a turn off and makes me want to solely take my food to go from now on. I feel like this is a busy location and wish they'd put a little more TLC into it.
