This is such a great idea! My husband's employer sent us a meal following his surgery and I'm so glad to have gotten a meal rather than flowers. The food was tasty, packaged so carefully and included everything we needed including instructions. I also appreciated that they had vegetarian options for us since we don't eat meat. I will definitely use them should the need arise.
Have been using this great holiday meal resource for years since our immediate family is just a few people. Today Jenny just topped it off by patiently taking 3 revisions of our Thanksgiving order which was SO much nicer than doing it online. She led me to special items I had missed and helped with alterations to meet our needs.
The food's deliver taste, quantity and presentation usually do not disappoint.
This makes excellent gifts as well!
Most of the food was delicious. Did not like my main entre, which was the Mango Chicken. It needs more seasoning and a sauce. Everything else was delicious and the service was excellent. I had to pick up my food because they do not deliver in Clayton County, but they will ship.
We got a meal as a gift from my very thoughtful co-workers after a family member was in the hospital. Not only was the meal delicious, but Rod, the owner, personally called to say that he would be dropping off the meal a bit later than expected (due to a driver being in an accident-hope he is okay!!). Great customer service and a wonderful treat during a stressful time. Thank you, we will be gifting this fantastic idea in the near future to other families!
Our meal was excellent. Reheating instructions were easy to follow. Food tasted as fresh as if it was just made. Highly recommend!
I had surgery last week and my company sent me a voucher for a meal for 6 as a get well gift. It was so easy from entering my voucher to choosing a customized meal to it being delivered. They even showed up 5 minutes earlier than the 3 hour window given. The meal was beautifully packaged in a reusable hot/cold bag and instructions were easy to follow to prepare all items. The best part though was the food was absolutely delicious! We chose to order the turkey & dressing covered in gravy, green beans, Caesar salad, French rolls and the assorted desserts tray. Everything was fresh, full of flavor and so good. My kids even went back for seconds and thirds! Now that I’ve had my first experience with Instead of Flowers I’m definitely keeping this in mind for friends and family and may even start ordering a meal here and there for my family as there are so many delicious options I’d love to try! Thank you to my company for such a wonderful gift during my recovery and thank you Instead of Flowers for such a wonderful meal for my family!
We received this dinner as a gift after surgery. Wow! We were impressed. The meal was well packaged, easy to heat and prepare, and very tasty! The portions were generous for two and there were definitely leftovers. I would highly recommend them and I will be using them in the future!
Excellent meals. (We are picky food snobs so being able to choose from the menu was a great option for us) We took a chance on the vegan crab cakes which were lemony artichoke cakes - delicious! There was a problem with our delivery on our first order and Ashley quickly made it right. Salads were fresh and good. Asparagus was tender and presentation perfect on all selections. There is easily enough food for 3 meals. We will be using this company again AND it is much better than flowers!
I received a gift certificate following my surgery and to my surprise, I hadn’t heard of this place. So when I decided to order, I made choices that were appealing to my family. The salmon, brisket, shrimp scampi, salads and desserts were all delicious. Will definitely use them in the future!
Absolutely outstanding!!! What a great way to enjoy a fabulous and tasty treat.They certainly live up to their name. Dinner was fantastic and tasted like it came from fine dining, but delivered to our door. Everything was cooked to perfection and just needed to be heated up. I promise we will utilize this service when sending well-wishes to others close to us. Well done!
