Isthmus Eats

This service is wonderful! My favorite things about it (in no particular order):1. Delicious and unique variety of recipes2. Many locally procured ingredients (= FRESH!)3. Accurate orders - Correct items & quantities4. Exceptional customer service5. Environmentally conscious (reuse of delivery containers)6. Timely deliveryI appreciate being able to trust several meals each week to Isthmus Eats, it saves me the time and effort of deciding what to make, shopping for groceries, etc. And compared to other meal delivery services I've tried, it's hands down the best in the way of ingredient quality and accuracy!

We are on week 7 of getting Isthmus Eats delivered and love it! Makes our week so easy for meal planning. Recipes are easy to follow and I love all the fresh ingredients.

Highly recommend Isthmus Eats! Delicious food, price is right, local ingredients! Delivered to your door every week in a bag with a ice pack in it for safety. Overall, I've enjoyed all my meals with them and have stuck with them for 6months!

I just want to encourage people to give Isthmus Eats a try. It is designed similarly to services like Blue Apron, but Isthmus Eats is a local business that builds meals around local favorites and local ingredients. In addition, the customer has a lot of options as to the type of protein, the number of servings and how many meals you get each week. The app makes it easy to choose or to skip weeks. Plus there is so much less packaging! Each delivery is packed in a reusable cloth bag with a reusable ice pack, each meal in a paper bag with minimal plastic. They really won me over today when it came to my attention that I'd be getting a delivery tomorrow, because I forgot to skip the week. I emailed to see if I could still cancel and got a cheerful "no problem!" from Jon. Love Isthmus Eats more than ever!

I am so grateful to have Isthmus Eats in my city! The convenience was a big draw for me, and the locally-sourced ingredients are a huge plus, but it's the quality of the recipes and the fun I have preparing them that keeps me coming back! The staff are also very friendly and responsive. I filled out a customer satisfaction survey and got an email replying to each comment I made! I am so used to sending those things out into the void; it was such a nice surprise to know that the owner read and considered my thoughts. I cannot recommend Isthmus Eats enough!

Isthmus Eats is great! Best out of all the other meal plans we have tried and the fact that it is local, makes me feel better too. Great food at a great price! Well worth it!

Delicious, easy, fast, nutritious. Jon and his team do an incredible job creating a variety of yummy meals for all taste buds. The portions are generous and well worth the convenience. We love the sourcing from local producers and the special care they give to individualized requests. Whether veg, vegan, GF etc, they always accommodate and it's sooo tasty!

Tried Isthmus Eats a couple years back and returned recently to a flourishing local meal kit service.I'm always looking for ways to support local businesses and local suppliers/farmers/makers. IE app is a great addition for improving access to meal selection and recipe instructions. The skip-a-week function works for me as an avid cook so I can trial my own recipes. Another brilliant feature is the ability to easily swap proteins w one click. Isthmus Eats makes it easy to fit cooking into your life instead of your life around your meals.The service offers top notch meal variety. I select meals weeks in advance and they are delivered consistently on the same day of the week (+ contactless drop-off). Transport packaging is recycled each week!Isthmus Eats owner Jon works hard to run responsive and helpful customer service addressing any need/concern.

Isthmus Eats is an amazing service. I am going to divide this review into twp categories: why meal delivery services are great in general and why Isthmus Eats in particular is awesome. First of all, meal delivery services are great. Planning and shopping for food has been a point of contention in my house. It takes a lot of time and effort to get right and we would frequently just do frozen meals just to avoid it. Now we get healthy meals easily. I've lost over 10 pounds doing meal delivery services because it is so much more consistent and easy.Besides the time savings, I have also found monitory savings from Isthmus Eats as well. This wasn't something I was expecting, but before we started on meal delivery services, we would frequently order takeout because we hadn't planned anything and didn't have time to shop and cook. We've also significantly cut down on impulse purchases at the store due to just going less.I've also tried Hello Fresh as a meal service. While they are good and the prices are about the same, there are a few reasons I much prefer Isthmus Eats.First, the meals themselves are better. Hello Fresh has good recipes, but they tend to be a lot more repetitive, especially if you are a vegetarian. Isthmus Eats also has better portion sizes, we can often get an extra lunch out of our meals there, where we couldn't with Hello Fresh. Next, Hello Fresh and other non-local services seem to produce an enormous amount of excess packaging. Every week, there are large boxes and freezer bags that we had to get rid of. The reusable bags and ice packs makes that Isthmus Eats provides make me feel a lot better about my environmental impact. Third is support for local economy and business. Every week we get a list of farms and local businesses where food came from. They also only operate here, so all employees are here.As a final point, I'd like to share a story. As mentioned, I am a vegetarian. One week, I selected my meals, but forgot to select the vegetarian options. The day after, I got a personal email from the owner (Jon) asking me if I wanted the meat options. He not only remembered I was vegetarian from previous communications, but also took the time to look over and confirm my preferences. You just aren't going to find that same level of care from any national service.
