I can not say enough good things about Dinner Elf. I had heard about this company for years and was so busy with life, I did not take the time to really look into it. I was such a fool. This service has transformed my daily life and family. It was exactly what I didn't know I needed. We have been using it for 6 weeks and have sampled the recipes and used different elves....

Do yourself a favor and book today. Honestly, you just won't regret it. The food is outstanding, the service outstanding, it is so easy, it's not expensive... I can't believe anyone would do a meal kit delivery service and not try these guys. Meal kit services are just an expensive and slightly more organized version of InstaCart (InstaCart is also great, don't get me wrong). You still have to come home, decipher instructions and cook....

This is seriously the best service ever. As a busy mom and business owner, making healthy dinners is something that gets put on the back burner. Our evenings are always so rushed and we often end up ordering takeout. Dinner Elf has so many yummy dinner options to select from. Setting up the appointment was quick and easy to do on my phone. The communication before and after the appointment was also great. Our elf,... See more

Chef Louis has changed our lives! Getting home after a long day to a home-cooked meal is still a 'pinch me' moment. I almost can't believe that (a) this is really happening, (b) my kids like the food, and (c) I can afford it! Not only is the food delicious and fresh, Louis is a delightful person who brightens up our kitchen. Go Louis! Go Dinner Elf!

This was our first time using Dinner Elf, but hopefully not our last. All I can do is echo the wonderful reviews of Michael. And add: HE MADE FOOD MY TODDLER WILL EAT, which is nothing short of a miracle. Tonight she asked for more brussel sprouts. ‘Nuff said.

What I like about Dinner Elf is that it marks off the boxes that I value in meals: 1) Eating with my family at the dinner table; 2) Eating healthy home cooked food; 3) Saving the valuable time three nights a week not cooking and cleaning - instead we spend it helping the kids with homework and other things, since my husband and I both work full-time 4) Cost effective. When I did the analysis,... See more

Not sure how much more I can praise this service. I'm a new mom and literally cried because I was exhausted and had no time or energy to cook, but I have to eat dairy free for my baby's sake so eating out or ordering food is tricky. My sister sent me a dinner elf gift certificate to help. I was initially weary of having someone in the house with a new baby but Chef... See more

Wanted to share how special Dinner Elf truly is. Our chef (Elf Michael) set aside quesadillas without tomatoes in case Tanner wanted to try them. Not only does he remember I have a picky eater, but he is problem solving my dinner problems without me asking! I love a lot of services, but none has given me the special attention Dinner Elf has.

When I say Elf Ella is 10/10 I mean it. Our stubborn 6 year old gave her two thumbs up and our 18 month old left nothing on the plate... or the floor. I look forward to having her come again next week.

Mel has been cooking for us for few months and our stress levels have dropped significantly! We have one picky eater, one gluten free and one vegetarian. Meal time is a constant challenge to say the least. Mel saves my life each week when she shows up to cook. Good food cooked at my house for all my picky eaters....what more could I ask for?

This was my first experience with Elf and Elf Hollie and it was incredible! Every meal was delicious (and I don't say this lightly. As a former chef from NYC...I'm picky. Lol.) Since having recently moved and caring for a toddler and starting a new job, I have no time to cook so I was gifted this service. Everything was seasoned perfectly, portions were generous; it was all just lovely. I will absolutely do it... See more

Chef Beth has cooked for my family of 4 multiple times. I wanted to wait to give a review so we could get to know her and experience different recipes offered by Dinner Elf. Well, I’d give more than 5 stars if I could. The food is incredible, and for those complaining they don’t like a specific recipe—there are SO MANY to try! My kids don’t love cilantro or too much lemon so I let... See more

Dinner Elf is a lifesaver for my family. Between taking my daughter to school, gymnastics and theater practice and my and my husband's work schedules, our time is precious. With Dinner Elf, I am guaranteed fresh, homemade goodness at least three times a week, often with leftovers for lunches and even for breakfast. The 'elves' shop for me, prep and cook for me and then leave the kitchen cleaner than they found it! I don't... See more

We all love her cooking! I particularly like that she is prepared down to the specifics like she brought her knife chopping board, and oil! I thought i would have to provide for those. Plus! I liked it when we asked to the last minute to take out the carrots we ordered due to some recall she obliged. She is proactive and will definitely leave you feeling well taken cared of. Also, my picky eater... See more

I was so relieved to have Chef Joanne come to our home today - we have so much going on, I just needed to offload something! She didn't need handholding, the house smells delicious and things were left so clean and tidy. And you bet the kids sampled everything when they got off the bus...10/10 recommend! I also have a rare autoimmune condition that impacts what I can eat more so than others... Dinner Elf... See more

We have tried our first meal by him and it was amazing! Very flavorful and enjoyed by all. We have two picky kid eaters and they loved the meal so much that they asked for seconds!

I never thought I'd be able to justify the luxury of a private chef service, but I keep this service as a lifeline in my back pocket for weeks that we just need a little extra help, like when the demands of parenting and working during a global pandemic seem extra burdensome. So far, we've had three appointments, and they've all been wonderful. For each one in advance, you choose the time/date for your chef,... See more

Dinner Elf is an answer to my prayer. As a single, working mom I rarely have the time to make fresh, healthy, homemade meals. Chef/elf Nolan has consistently made amazing meals for us. The website has many plant based options, but Chef Nolan has easily modified the regular recipes to suit our vegan diet too. Everything has been delicious! He is professional, punctual, and leaves the kitchen spotless as well. I give him 10/5 stars!

Dinner Elf is an amazing service from start to finish. Their chefs are background-checked and cook in your home. They offer a variety of menu options to choose from and also cater to any dietary need. Chef Christina arrived on time and with the groceries for the meal I ordered: Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps and Vegetarian Sweet Chili Noodle Salad. She cooked my entrees within an hour and a half and the presentation of each dish... See more

As a working mom, I don't know how I'd survive without Chef Nicole. She makes the best home cooked food for my family. She's a lifesaver. The family sized portion is generous too. We have an 8 and a 10 year old and the 3 meals & 3 sides can feed us for several days with leftover for me to bring to work. I would spend a lot more going to the grocery store trying... See more
