I love the concept of Mod Meals — pick from a short list of items created daily by local chefs, click a couple buttons, and then food is whisked to your home or business. The good: — The web site offers great descriptions and pictures of the items available. — Menu items are clearly labeled for people with special dietary needs — vegan, gluten free, etc. — The packaging is really innovative and pretty — Great communication from delivery driver when order is on its way — Staff responds quickly when you send an email The not so good: — From what I saw, there wasn’t a way to tip online — as a person who rarely has cash, this seemed inconvenient — My food(all vegan — vegetable salad and mushroom tacos) was ok — but nothing was amazing. I expect to pay restaurant prices for high quality restaurant food but I also expect to enjoy my meal and not feel starving afterwards. I definitely think this is a great concept and once the kinks are worked out, I think they’ll serve up great meals all around town. I just think that they need to keep working on refining their menu to provide good food at a better value.(or better food at the same price)

I was so psyched when I read about Mod Meals in Scene magazine, that I actually ordered a meal for that night. Such a cool concept… ordered short rib with veggies and potatoes from Flying Fig for $ 14. The service is also pretty great; in accordance with Jen’s comment, they let you know when they’re close so you can pre-heat the oven, and a $ 3 delivery fee isn’t much to sneeze at. However, with how excited i was about the price and anticipated quality of the meal, I was a little bummed by what I came home to. It was a very small, and sort of sad-looking amount of food on a sort of cafeteria tray. The vegetables weren’t much to speak of, and the short rib was incredibly fatty. I felt I didn’t get my money’s worth, especially when there are so many places in Cleveland(i.e., India Garden) where you can get heaps and heaps of delicious food for the same price. I may try it again because I desperately want to love Mod Meals, but I was left feeling a little empty inside…

Hells yes. Let’s see… what’s not to love. Take all of your fave independent eateries in CLE, have them prepare delicious fare, pick what you want on their Web site, and BOOM, dinner is delivered to your doorstep that night. I received a text saying, «I am on my way if you want to preheat your oven to 375.» How Rockstar is that? And voila, just like that, pot roast and Yukon gold potatoes from the Flying Fig and a cherry chocolate cookie from Spice are on my front door step. Dig it. Perhaps the biggest plus? They only charge $ 2.95 as a delivery fee. You cannot beat that.
