Hello Dinner

Rating is for concept of the business, ‘healthy food for busy people’. But we were unable to try it because although we arrived during their business hours (noonish on a weekday when posted hours are 10a to 6p) the door was locked. The business van was in the parking lot so we peered through the window and there seemed to be «signs of life» but no way to get the attention of anyone inside. Two other folks pulled up and also left disappointed to find them closed.
Since we are currently ‘busy people’ moving into a new house the ‘healthy food’ if available to go would have been a good thing. Fortunately for us, Stonehenge Produce is right next door and purchases there saved the day. Note is this, call ahead to be sure they are open before you go even if it is during their advertised business hours.
PS — I refresh this review to add that Unilocal friend Susan C suggests this might be called «Hello, Anybody There? Dinner». She is clever in compliments and wicked good entertaining as a review writer. I recommend her Unilocal reviews! You’ll find her here…
THIS N THAT:
1) Parking: A few spots in a paved lot.
2) Accessibility: Seems as if it would be accessible in door and all on one level in.
3) Neighbors: Stonehenge Produce in barn like building next door.

I used to frequent My Fit Foods before they closed. It was great. I used to stop in before work and pick out meals for the day. So I was excited to try Hello Dinner when I head about it.
I ordered some meals online for pickup. The checkout process was clunky. I had reviewed the PDF menu on the website and decided what I wanted, then found out that the actual menu had changed and some things I wanted weren’t really available. Small annoyance, let’s continue.
I chose to pickup my order because delivery isn’t an option where I live. The checkout only let me pick a day for pickup; not a time. So only after I had placed my order do I see a pickup time of 6:00pm in the confirmation email. That’s okay. I can leave work close to 6pm and get there.
I arrived at 6:05pm on the pickup day to find out they close at 6:00pm.
I cannot express to you how frustrated and angry this made me. I considered whether I should try to go back the next day or just cut my losses.
The next day after I had calmed down I decided to try again. I left work early to get there before 6pm. I arrived at 5:45pm to find that on Fridays they close at 5pm.
Well now I’m done. How is this a service for busy people!!! The best part. I haven’t received a single email or phone call asking about my abandoned order. These are clearly people who like the idea of running a business more than they actually like running a business.

Husband and I were excited to try this place. When he brought the food home, I was expecting more. We ordered the large portion of pulled pork to share… um was not a large portion by all means. There was enough for only one of us. We also ordered an individual portion of the salmon. It was extremely tiny. It was good but. …very very small. The food was decent but not worth the price.

This summer while traveling through I was lucky enough to find Hello Dinner. It’s always hard to find healthy, tasty, Gluten Free food while on the road. Our entire family (kids 10, 16) have great meals. Our highlights were the wild salmon and the iron steak taco bowl. In fact we liked the food so much we bought some to-​go for a later meal!
The staff was also very friendly and knowledgable. Can’t wait to visit again.

I really wanted to like this company, but out of 5 meals we tried, only one would I eat again and the rest were just not that good and definitely not worth the expense. None of the 5 meals were fantastic. My husband, who is not a picky eater, did not like them either.

My boyfriend and I visited Hello Dinner yesterday afternoon. The service was not very helpful or welcoming. We both went home with a dish to see how we liked it before we buy a week’s worth of food. The quinoa salad was pretty good, but without the sauce that came with the chicken it wouldn’t have been as good. The chicken that came in my meal was very dry, and I found myself washing it down with water just so I could swallow it. Just like the quinoa salad, the sauce made it ok to eat. For the price — I would not pay $ 9.00 for this quality of meal ever again. Cook your own food, and prep it for the week — it’s cheaper than $ 9.00 a meal and I guarantee you it will taste better.

Hello Dinner is super yummy and best of all gluten free! Their meals are quick, easy, delicious and they also have outstanding service. I’ve used them both for delivering to my home, take out, and for catering. Their catering is TOP NOTCH — they were even willing to show up to my event at 5:45 AM with breakfast already made! YUM!

The gluten free cookies are AMAZING. The food is really good and the service was exceptional. The prices are also reasonable for the quality.
