★★★★☆Isabel Mostert· Jan 15, 2025
Love this app the resipies are good and instructions are clear. It's a very aesthetic and organize app which I appreciate and users can comment and rete resipies. And it doesn't block you from the good resipies if you don't pay for premium, so you can actually use the app and not get stoped by a pay wall

The violent and crazy people in apartment 22 do everything for attention. The violent and crazy people in apartment 22 do everything on purpose. The violent and crazy people in apartment 22 do everything that is unnecessary. The violent and crazy people in apartment 22 slam doors.

I love how simple the ui is, the ingredient nutritional info pages are really great too, I appreciate the no bs approach. I just have a few suggestions. When I added ingredients to my pantry, I expected to be able to also enter the amount I have, so that the app would know to not add to cart what I already have if it's enough for the recipe, or at least have a little disclaimer that I do have that ingredient. Would love that feature in the future! Also the ingredient list could be improved too 🩷
★★★★☆Alyssa Mounkes· Sep 5, 2025
I enjoy their variety of recipes that give videos and explanations on how to. Make, they divide them into a variety categories, can look up based on ingredients and save recipes. Also can order online-quick add to cart all ingredients to a recipe.
★★★★★Ryan Silveira· Feb 10, 2025
Side Chef is my go-to app for Meals. Easy to navigate, search for recipes, great step-by-step recipes, and can be used for meal planning.
★☆☆☆☆Tamy D· Feb 5, 2026
Thought it might help with finding new recipes. First 5 suggestions ALL had recipes with the foods that I listed to avoid. Seriously?!?!
★☆☆☆☆Grady Belitz· Apr 12, 2026
They added a subscription feature. Also kinda stupid when you think about it. I just activated my free trial, took a bunch of screenshots and canceled it. Now when I need more I just start a free trial with a different email😂😂
★★☆☆☆Howard Haney· Feb 26, 2025
Just downloaded the app and I enjoy the interface. The problem I'm facing is related to the zip code. I put in my zip code, which is on the Atlantic side of Florida, but the app has put a completely different zip in Tampa -- 3 hours away from me. I'm not seeing any way to go in and correct it, which is why I can only give it 2 stars. If someone can help me correct this ID honestly give it a 5 out of 5
