“Shipping was right on time. Cheesecake was delicious, lasagna appetizers were good too but bourbon bacon bites were awful. Too expensive for what you received.”
“Overall, Mackenzie products were tasty except for the Stilton Cheese. I have ordered Stilton Cheese through Mackenzie for the past several years and have never been disappointed, but this year, I was very disappointed. It seemed to be lacking in the rich Stilton flavor and texture that the previous years have had, and it essentially crumbled into very small pieces that made it very difficult to eat. Again, my other food choices were very tasty and enjoyable, but the Stilton was a HUGE disappointment.”
“Sorry, this is not a review you can publish. I chose the cranberry/apple stuffed turkey breast from the catalog because there was no mention of flour. However, when reading the ingredients on the actual frozen item I saw flour. Since I have celiac disease I eventually just threw it out. The lemon soufflés had a nice flavor, may not freeze too well. I just ate the lemon part, not the base which would have had guten. Maybe you should indicate gluten-free or not on catalog items.”
“The seasoned carrots were terrible. I had planned to have them with two different Holiday dinners. Never made it to the 2nd one. Tasteless, tough, and just Blah Blah”
“My food gift was very much enjoyed. I sent the Smoked roasted salmon, lobster bisque, and chocolate lava cakes to a small assisted living facility for a dear friend who loves really good food.
The only problem I had was that they didn't enclose my message and he called MacKenzie business but they couldn't give him any inform who ordered it. Luckily, I called him on Christmas and asked if he received the gift and he said "so you're the one that sent it"!!!”
“I had received a Mackenzie catalog in the mail. I ordered several items which we enjoyed. The AuGratin potatoes did not meet our expectations as described. I baked them for the total amount of time and still came out cold and hard. Added another 1/2 hour, still a bit better but still hard potatoes. Other wise the other items ordered were wonderful. I have referred many of my friends to Mackenzie.”
“Disappointed with the asparagus, the tips were broken on many of them. And they didn't crisp up as they usually do, I have ordered them before and these were not as good.”
“I ordered 2 items: the beautiful cupcakes which looked like flowers - these were incredibly good. I also ordered the cake which looked like a gift ... this was creative and beautiful to look at, but was dry and flavorless.”
“This was honestly well worth it. I had Mackenzie products at another party and they were better, for the same money, as I had paid for catered food that I had picked up. My only complaint was that I couldn’t control the delivery time window as I would have liked but other than that, very happy w my mini meatloaves and spanakopita.”
“I was very impressed with the overnight delivery of the mussels in garlic wine sauce. I ordered them 2 weeks ago and just figured they would not get here for the holiday weekend. Fed Ex delivered them at 8 AM this morning and I served them this evening. The mussels were smaller than expected but were very good. I thought they were a little salty but there were none left so that says everything! As per other reviews, quite a few of the shells were broken but it does not deter from the flavor.”
“I have had some difficulty with choosing a different date for arrival. You put the responsibility on me for the mistake, going as far as asking if I couldn't put the early order in my neighbor's freezer! Seemed odd for a company I have been doing business with for years and regards itself as consumer aware”
“Served this at a group dinner. It was most tasty and some asked for the “recipe.” I admitted that it was mail order. The only thing that might have made this a bit better would have been some gravy.”
“The food is always wonderful and I’ve recommended you to friends, but I truly dislike that you ship immediately when I’ve requested a later date to arrive just prior to an event. Why do you offer shipping schedules if you don’t intend to follow them?”
