The food is amazing! I had no idea this place even existed until it popped up on my Facebook feed. I hate to cook, so this is perfect for me. I'm a pretty picky eater but I have ordered two weeks in a row and have not had a problem finding something that I would eat. I have to say that my favorite so far is the Mediterranean chicken. The portion sizes are generous. It fills a regular sized dinner plate. All you need to do is pop it into the microwave or the oven to heat it up. It's not a subscription service so you aren't bound by any type of contract. You can order as little or as many prepared meals as you want, whenever you want. You can have it delivered to you on Tuesdays or you can pick it up on Sunday, Wednesday, or Friday. You just have to order at least two days in advance. This is the healthiest I have eaten in a long time. The meals are packed with protein and flavor, but not very high in calories. I think 600 calories was the highest, but the majority that I ordered were in the 400 calorie range. There are 12 different meals to choose from each week and the prices are very fair. They also freeze very well. The only negative I can think of is trying to decide which one to eat first when I pick them up!
I loved the variety, the portions were perfect and filling.. Everything was nicely seasoned and delicious. This was my first order and I was very pleasantly surprised and will be ordering again. Thank you!!!
I decided to start getting pre-prepared dinners for my sister as she has Alzheimer’s Dementia & I am not a cook. I want to make sure that my sister eats healthy, "clean" meals that aren't made from fake meat, vegetables that are grown/protected with toxic chemicals, & don' have a lot of fillers or toxic preservatives. Relish prepared checked all the boxes for us. I highly recommend giving it a try. You won't regret it. Oh...I am a HIGHLY picky eater, so if I like it, that's a good sign. 🙂
I recently tried Relish and I’m on my second week now. So far I haven’t had a bad meal. They deliver prepared meals on Sundays and Tuesdays and also have pickup throughout the week. I’ve tried some of the national subscription meal services before, and I’ve honestly been enjoying the food from Relish a lot more. It’s also nice having something local instead.
Best meatballs I’ve ever had!
I’ve been very happy with Relish’s meals. Very filling and high quality. Super tasty too!
Relish Prepared is the best!
Portions are just right for me. Not too much, not too little. The Teriyaki Beef is probly my favorite so far.
very consistent meals every week
The meatballs are top tier. One of my favorites for sure. :-)
I’ve been very happy with Relish’s meals. Very filling and high quality. Super tasty too!
I have always loved the polynesian chicken from relish market and now I can order from the meal prep! Definitely ordering again.
10/10
I like that the menu changes. The Chimichurri Steak Potatoes and Teriyaki Beef are both very good. keeps things interesting.
Enjoying the service so far. One meal could have used a bit more seasoning but still good quality.
been ordering for weeks now and no complaints
very consistent meals every week
The Lemon Dijon Baked Salmon and the Lemon Ricotta Ground Turkey Pasta are both excellent. I don’t cook much anymore and this has been a blessing for me.
I dont have to worry about cooking anymore. The Garlic Herb Chicken is my favorite.
Excellent meals
Healthy ingredients and helpings

The Italian Lean Beef Meatballs are absolutely top tier!
I take these to the office for lunch every week. The Oven-Roasted Adobo Chicken with cilantro lime rice reheats surprisingly tender and keeps me full through long meetings without a mid-day crash.
Buffalo Chicken with cauliflower and jasmine rice is the perfect post-workout dinner. Great heat and not heavy.
Delicious fresh food. Spice-rubbed pork loin was fantastic.
Huge fan of the Teriyaki Beef. Crispy peppers and green beans with very tender meat. Ordered twice already.
The Tuscan Chicken and Roman beans had great rustic flavor, but I personally would have loved just a splash more broth or sauce. Still high quality and very clean ingredients.
The Chimichurri Chicken with sesame cabbage completely blew me away. Reheating in a hot skillet for two minutes gave it a restaurant-quality crisp. Love that I am not tied into a weekly subscription.
Mushroom Ravioli was rich, savory, and super satisfying.
Southwest Roasted Shrimp tasted super fresh with no rubbery texture after reheating. Perfect dinner for busy evenings.
Great portions. The adobo chicken is a weekly staple.
Very tasty meals. The pork loin with cauliflower mash was good, though the mash got a bit watery in the microwave. Oven reheating works much better.
Finding balanced, high-protein meals with good fiber is tough. The Italian Lean Beef Meatballs with garlic farro and sautéed spinach hit all my macro targets perfectly without skimping on flavor.
The blend of jasmine and cauliflower rice in the Buffalo Chicken dish is genius. Spicy, hearty, and clean.
Fresh herbs and crisp veggies. Never feels like frozen food.
We ordered the 5-meal plan for hectic weekdays. Every single dish stayed fresh in the fridge all week, and the Southwest Roasted Shrimp was restaurant quality. Will definitely order again next week.
Teriyaki Beef was tender and not overly sweet. Loved it.
Everything arrived ice cold and neatly packed. Flavor on the Chimichurri Chicken was fantastic, though I wish the cabbage portion was a tiny bit larger. Delivery window was slightly later than expected.
