“My order arrived the day AFTER I was told it would be delivered. The ice was almost gone. I ordered the soup sampler but received two Lobster Bisque soups but NO Maryland Crab soup! While my husband will enjoy the bisque he would have liked to try your Maryland Crab soup I'm sure! I promptly put the order in our freezer, but have not tried anything yet because it was his Christmas gift! CB did try to contact me, but due to a communications snafu we were NEVER able to connect. Now, for some reason I cannot find how to contact CB directly! *SIGH*”
“Living in Minnesota, I had the desire for the Eastern US tastes for my Holiday season. I liked the variety, sizes, and packaging that fit in my apartment sized refrigerator/freezer. They arrived in perfect condition. Shipped when stated. Nice to have the catalogue and online option for future use. Worth the cost for this treat.”
“First time order of Onion Soup and Salmon
Have had the soup thus far but not the Salmon
The soup seemed heavy on garlic(?) and did not cheese melt as we hoped. But will try again. Was tasty though. Will try the Salmon soon possibly over New Year’s weekend.”
“These crab cakes have a few pieces of lump crab meat on top and the rest is just filler with little to no taste. They are no better than the ones I can buy locally.”
“I purchased the seafood gumbo package containing 2 32 ounce packets of 'seafood gumbo'. I am not sure what warranted the title seafood since in the first pack I heated up there were a few really miniscule shrimp, certainly not enough to qualify for the title 'seafood'. They were tiny and tasteless and while the Andouille sausage bits were ok there weren't a lot of them either. Since the order cost me approximately $80 with shipping and handling, one packet set me back $40 and would provide enough for approximately 2 meals, certainly not the 4-5 as claimed in the product description. The sauce was ok, a little bland for a gumbo, the only real positive was the shipping, a sturdy container with dry ice that kept the packets frozen solid. I am disappointed, expecting something maybe restaurant quality for the price but not even close.”
“It was a gift. It absolutely delighted the receptionists. We told them to keep the beacon burning bright so Santa finds their house on Christmas night. Thank you!”
“My mom received this catalog in the mail and had circled like 100 things. I surprised her for her Christmas gift with many of the selections. Had never ordered before and I was pleasantly surprised with the entire process. The food arrived in a great freezer box. We loved all the dishes we tried. I think our fav was the 4 berry pie. I have since ordered for other family members. It's not the cheapest delivery food but it's great quality and great service.”
“I was very surprised that I didn't like the crab cakes. Someone else recommended them, but I found them have very little lump crab and a lot of the pulled or stringy bits of crab which was very fishy tasting. I also think Chesapeake should ideally have either free shipping over a certain amount or a "membership" program like Wild Fork where for a reasonable annual fee members get free shipping on orders of a reasonable size. The shipping costs is a huge deterrent to ordering for me, especially for new items I'm not sure if I'll like.”
