I used to love cooking. I’d pour over complicated recipes and try things out. But then kids came. And they’re exhausting. And you can spend all of your time cooking something and they’ll just gag. So occasionally I hit moments where I can’t deal with dinner anymore. A friend of mine Facebooked about Time for Dinner so I figured I’d try it out. I didn’t throw the meals together, I just went into the store and got three entrees from their January menu. The employees were very helpful and nice. The place was immaculately clean. Meals are $ 15/each — one was $ 30 because it’s a crock pot brisket and can’t be halved. I threw them in the freezer and we’re good to go. We tried the chicken tettrazini last night — so good! So easy to make, everything tasted very fresh and even my picky gagging kids loved it(although i did have to pick the peas out of one kid’s meal and the mushrooms out of another kid’s meal). I don’t know that I’ll do this every week but I could see trying it once a month when I just can’t stomach meal planning without wanting to go crazy.

Amazing doesn’t even begin to describe this place. It has changed our lives and we haven’t found a meal that we haven’t liked yet. Excellent service and friendly staff. I would recommend this to anyone with kids. It’s an affordable and healthy way to feed your family.

I have great service every time I come here. The people who work there are so helpful and nice. We try to come every other month or so. We come even more when are favorites are on the menu. There menu selections are great. They have a little bit of everything, every month. Not just the same thing all the time. I highly recommend this to anyone. Single, married, family or even on the run.

This place is so much fun! My girlfriend introduced me to it last year, and I’ve been in love ever since. Each month they have a rotating menu, so you don’t feel like you ever get tired of eating the same olé things. Most everything that we have made here we have really liked. My favorite thing so far would either be the Buffalo turkey burgers, or the Chimichurri Pork. Both were amazing. We usually do this every 2 months or so. Depending on the time of year. In the winter, much more often because I don’t do any grilling like I do in the summer. Sarah and I both are good cooks, but this is just so easy and also very economical. We do the 6 dishes with 6 servings each option. It usually takes us about an 1 – 1 ½ hours to complete all of our dishes. We pack everything up with 2 servings each, which I really like. Makes cooking dinner after a bad day at work quick, easy, and thoughtless. Sometimes we also get creative, and might borrow ingredients from other stations we were at, and add them to something they don’t necessarily belong in just to give it a little twist. I would recommend bringing in some wine or something of the like, it makes it much more fun. Sarah and I use this basically as a date night. I find myself recommending this to people all the time. It is wonderful.

What a great place!!! The ingredients are fresh and the recipes are innovative. The people working there are so helpful and so nice. The whole process is very well run and everything is very organized. This is great for couples ora girls day or night out.

Oh my gosh– I love to cook and never felt I needed to use one of these places for meal prep. A neighbor invited me to go, and I am now a true convert. I made a total of 48 servings for $ 150-a little over $ 3.00 each. The variety is great-I made meals of shrimp, chicken, pork roast, and steak, and hoagie sandwiches and a spaghetti casserole-a variety to meet every taste in my family. The prep areas are set up very efficiently with the appropriate sized measuring implement in each container so it goes quickly and is difficult to make mistakes. All directions are very clear on each work station. The meals are freezable and either are defrosted or warmed/baked in the oven. Each dish has stickers with directions. Another bonus is that Weight Watchers Plus points are figured and on the label, along with suggestions for side dishes to serve with the entrée. Although many working mothers, and busy mothers of young ones were there, as the mother of college age kids, I think this is great to have when they come home, and also to send back with them so they can have healthy meals in their apartments. Very impressed, and definitely will be a repeat customer.

They also have dinners that are already prepared that you can purchase. We stop by once or twice a month and pick up an entrée. Great menu and it changes all the time. Owners are great fun!

I have been going to Time for Dinner for over 2 years now. I liked the experience so much I organized a group of co-workers and now they are all hooked. It is also a great gift to give for someone with a new baby. The staff is always super nice and helpful. I loved coming in preparing the meals, but now that I have less time with 2 kids and working I do the carryout option. It is well worth the extra expense. I just picked up my carryout yesterday and also got a free dessert. My next visit will be 40% off because my punch card is full. I love this place! I always look forward to the upcoming month’s menu.

So I came here a few weeks ago, and I’m just now getting around to writing a review. Bad Steph! Anyway, this place is nothing short of awesome. Time for Dinner is a place where you can prepare a meal using provided recipes, kitchen space, and ingredients. You then take the prepared meal home and cook it in your oven. Great, right? You don’t have to worry about buying ingredients, recipe planning, or dirtying up your own kitchen. Saweet! I was actually here for a writing assignment, so didn’t experience the full thrill of Time for Dinner, but I was able to prepare one recipe to take home. It was SUPER simple. I would imagine that one would save a ton of money by preparing their meals here. It costs $ 19 to make something in-house(6 servings per meal). If you make 5 meals, that’s 30 servings of food for $ 100. Seems like a deal to me! I think this is a really neat place, and obviously, so do others; it was packed the night that I went! My review really can’t do this place justice — it’s one of those things you just have to try out for yourself.
