Eat The 80Reviews of eatthe80.com

I have used the service for a good part of a year. Deliver of product is great. Quality of product varies. I have had really good luck w/ the quality of the pulled pork and bbq beef dishes. I have had less luck with the other dishes (reoccurring sand/dirt bits on potatoes in meal). Overall, presentation of meals online are not what is delivered. Online meals are well separated and presented. In reality, items blend together in the final product and LARGE amounts of liquid exist after properly reheating the dinners.

Food was ok, but being “trapped” in a subscription is no way to run a business…. Let people try it first and THEN OPT in to a subscription…. Not being locked in to a subscription before you remember it and you’re charged and then you communicate LONG BEFORE shipment made SHOULD be credited back and shipment not sent….but no….. because you don’t communicate SEVEN DAYS BEFORE shipment goes out (only six) you get charged. Not a good business model. Like the not having to plan for meals but too expensive for small orders.

When we first started with eat the 80 in spring 2021 it was wonderful - meals were great and ingredients appeared to be very clean. The shipping charge was high but we thought it was okay because the meals were good. Fast forward to fall 2021 and everything changed. Meals were horrible, shipping still high. We decided to pause for a while to see if the quality of the meals improved and then went back for a few weeks but alas, meals still not good and just can't justify the shipping cost for sub-par quality meals.

I love the philosophy and goals of Eat the 80. I was going through the Whole30 program and was excited for this service. I tried it for two weeks, ordering a total of 20 meals. The boxes were a bit banged up when I received them but that could be the postal service. The Steak Diane and the chimichurri pork were decent. Everything else I ordered was barely edible or not at all. Most of them looked, smelled and tasted like cat food. I’m not sure what is used to preserve them but maybe that has something to do with the taste. I tried different ways of cooking them as well (ie microwave, oven). They were just awful. I have been making a ton of Whole30 compliant meals and they can be quite scrumptious. I think the quality of the Eat the 80 food is just not there, especially at the price.
