I have to say I had a dinner delivered for my parents anniversary. They were supposed to be in Paris having Beef Bourgogne for their 43rd anniversary but due to Covid they were home. The packaging was great and the dinner was amazing. My parents loved it and it warmed my heart. I will use them again for other important days in their lives. Thank you for this service.

I received a gift certificate from this establishment from my family out of town. I had never heard of it and was a bit skeptical. Wow, it was absolutely amazing!!! Truly much better than any flowers they might have sent. I ordered the Seafood Creole meal and it was delicious. Best Creole I’ve had since leaving Louisiana!! They delivered it in a Reusable thermal bag and it was hot and fresh. I could not have been more impressed - and I’m a pretty tough restaurant critic. Highly recommend.

Amazing doesn't begin to describe it.right after the package was delivered, customer service called to see if there were any questions or concerns. Easy prep, quick heating, and you have the most wonderful tasting meal. High end restaurant quality.

I sent this to my son and daughter-in-law after his back surgery. They ordered shrimp and grits and said that it was one of the best meals he’d ever had. He also raved about the Asian vinaigrette dressing on the salad. Thank you I will finitely be using you again

My experience with this company was 5 star all the way. From the easy online ordering to the superb customer service, everything was great! I ordered the eggplant parmesan for my vegetarian friend, who is a postal worker and working long hours this holiday season. I requested they deliver as late in the day as possible and not to call her when on the way as it was a surprise. They did just that! It showed up at the end of the day and was all packages up with ice blocks and reheating instructions. My friend was super surprised and said it was absolutely delicious! Thank you for helping me play elf this holiday season. You guys rock!

We had our anniversary dinner from Instead of Flowers. It was excellent! We had the pork tenderloin.

We were gifted a meal and selected the Salmon in lobster sauce which came with herb buttered asparagus, wild rice with cranberries, garden salad, rolls and rocky road brownies. Delivery was quick and easy. Packaging was great, with instruction cards on how to heat everything. The meal was delicious! I loved this so much! Heat & eat on our own time, fresh, hot and so so good. It was perfect. Thank you!

Excellent option for anyone wanting ready-made meals. We live in Orlando and they shipped our meals via Fed-ex with freezer packs! Children’s meal was great and was picky-eater approved! Delicious

These meals have become quite a hit in our neighborhood. We have lots of young professionals who have young kids, new babies, and busy lives like everyone else. We seem to be buying them for each other. Pay it forward eh? These are so convenient during the week. They are also delicious. The portion size is large (often times left overs for lunch the next day). Great idea.

We were very happy with our St. Pete order, and the Renee and the team are very nice and accommodating! DEFINITELY recommend them for a meaningful birthday and special occasions gift idea or even an evening in, especially right now when it's hard to safely be out and about. Highly suggest you give them a try :).
I received this as a gift after the birth of my child and it was a huge blessing. We scheduled meals to arrive every other day for a week. Every meal we had was delicious and more than enough food for two. The meals are so easy to warm up. Would highly recommend this as a gift!

Instead of Flowers meal are perfect for entertaining. Case in point, yesterday for July 4th we had neighbors over and had ordered the Back Rib special for dinner the day before. Our delivery came at 4pm and we spend almost no time in the kitchen but 99% of our time with our guests. Our dinner for 4 was plenty of food and I had the left over ribs and salad tonight for dinner. The couple called today to say it was a great evening, great food and much time in socializing. One additional benefit was that there was very little clean up which is a chore when you entertain. Instead of Flowers you are our go-to for entertaining from this day on!!!

We use gift meals from Instead of Flowers for friends recovering from illness. More recently we use it for entertaining for 4 or 6 people. The heat and eat gourmet meals allows me to spend less time in the kitchen and more time with friends. We love Instead of Flowers.

This is an outstanding service! I ordered a meal to be delivered to my son and wife in West Virginia for his birthday a couple of weeks ago. He raves about it! So he sent me a meal for Mother’s Day. It was excellent, easy, each part of the meal wrapped in ribbon and came in a practical and reusable cooler bag. Who could ask for anything more. The price is very reasonable and the quantity of food was generous. What a great service and wonderful gift idea!!!
