Better than MREs, but a bit expensive
First of all, I'm not Jewish, and I don't care about the kosher rating of these meals. I understand they are also great for shabbat meals for the orthodox, but again that is irrelevant to me. I am a prepper who can't eat wheat, meaning most MRE meals (and most freeze-dried prepared meals too) are inedible for me. So I started looking for alternatives and chanced upon these on Amazon. I wanted good meals that last a long time without power (these have a 4-year official shelf life and likely will last longer if stored well). I was initially initially attracted by the nutritional information for most of the meals (they are calorically dense and have plenty of protein without being high-carb), but turned off by the cost. These meals are EXPENSIVE, especially in small quantity. I mean seriously, $15 for one meal?!? But I decided to try a 6-pack each of Rib Steak, Pepper Steak, and the variety pack (bringing the price per meal down to $8.33 (still expensive, but not so outrageous).In terms of flavor the best meal for sure is the rib steak. It was a wonderful blend of deliciously spiced portions and I loved it. This meal (Pepper Steak) was tied for second place with the Chicken Chow Mein. These three were also the most nutritionally complete/balanced in my opinion. I was NOT impressed by the Beef Stuffed Cabbage or the Beef and Lamb Kabob (neither was as tasty(though both are palatable), and both are lacking nutritionally). I did not eat the Chicken Meat Balls meal because it contains wheat. I will definitely be buying a 12-pack each of the rib steak, pepper steak, and chow mein in another couple months. I also intend to try a 6-pack each of the Turkey Shwarma and Stuffed Chicken Breast. Sadly, I can't eat the beef or chicken cholent.Overall, these meals are excellent and I will buy more. This flavor is one of the best. If the price dropped a bit (particularly for the single meals) I bet more people would try them and come to love them.

Very Tasty
Had shoulder replacement Thursday. Bought a few of these as I need to prepare everything 1-handed, and can't cook from scratch.Tasty and very filling - was able to finish only 1/2 package tonight. Salt content quite low. Would write more, but tough writing

Beef Pepper Steak
Overall we liked this product. It has a nice flavor and you do get a generous portion. I like that you can add more seasoning, if you prefer. There is a lot of rice and it's a little skimpy with the gravy. The beef has a nice flavor and there are several pieces. The price seems a little high but I would purchase again. If the price were lower, I'd probably buy it more often.

This is really good BUT...
This one great tasting easy to heat and serve meal (beef pepper steak). That being said, I must also say that it is very expensive for the amount you get. If you are looking for kosher, great taste, and are not bothered by the cost--I highly recommend this one. For myself, well cost does matter to me and so does taste so that is why I only rated it a 4 instead of a 5.

Much Better then the other brands !!!
So I often travel for work, to areas where there are no kosher restaurant's. So I have to bring my own food.These are 100 times better then the other brands out there. The inside actually looks almost like the box picture. There is true texture to the food, not just a mush. They are my new goto brand !!!

Didn't realize it would be this TASTY!
The Read Meals Beef Pepper Steak was remarkable delicious. Bought with the purpose of family sitting with a sick relative in a hospital and not knowing if they'd have kosher food available this really hit the spot for them. Amongst other that we purchased but this was most often got the rave reviews. Tasty, not salty, veggies were crispy and not mushy. Will certainly consider again.

It's Kosher
As an old foot soldier here who's had C-rats and used a P-38, this is a far cry from those days. This ranges between OK and good. And for those of us to whom it matters, they're kosher. Combine that with a long-term shelf life, and it's a good deal.

Poor Excuse for Pepper Steak
The taste was terrible. I liked the cabbage rolls so I thought I would like this and ordered 12. What a mistake! I ate what I could and trashed the rest. It looks bad and tastes worse. I like pepper steak but not this stuff. I will cook the rest and make sandwiches out of the steak.
