User Reviews

Most reviewers praise MealPal for its variety, ease of use, and convenience—meals near you, quick pickups, and a simple rating feature. However, recurring concerns center on the credit system and pricing: credits that don’t roll over, hidden fees, confusing renewals, and difficult refunds. Many users also report not being able to preview restaurants before subscribing, plus repeated app glitches (login • scan) and a painful cancellation/reactivation process with weak customer support. Promotional promises often fail to be delivered. Overall, value is debated: some find savings, many feel the costs and restrictions outweigh benefits.
Pros
  • Wide variety of restaurants and meals, with new options improving over time.
  • Easy to use and quick for pickups, helping you avoid lines.
  • The app helps you discover meals near you and lets you rate restaurants directly.
  • Perceived cost savings compared to paying full price for individual meals.
  • Strong use and convenience for long-term users who rely on MealPal.
Cons
  • Opaque credit and pricing model with credits that don’t roll over, hidden fees, and tricky renewals/refunds.
  • Cannot preview participating restaurants or menus before subscribing.
  • Frequent app reliability issues: login freezes, QR/code scanning failures, and UI glitches.
  • Cancellation and refunds are frustrating, with lost credits and aggressive reactivation offers; customer support often unhelpful.
  • Promotions and gift-card offers are often not honored or revealed in fine print.
Recent reviews
Ive been a customer for years and it’s a pretty great app. There are some things. Three minutes timer has become a kind of an annoying reminder about someone print somewhere. The walking time estimates are almost all wrong in the range of 30-100% the time it will say on Google Maps. Seems like that should be an easy fix. I’ve told them directly but nothing seemed to change. It’s a reasonably priced plan for a big variety of choices depending where in the area you are and how many fast casual restaurants you’re near or willing to walk. Not enough vegetarian options. Menu choice rotation could be a little bigger at a lot of the restaurants. Similarly priced options on the menu and stuff. Some places will allow for minor alterations like leaving out red onions… No warning for when your favorite place goes out of business. Not sure what can be done about that though. Customer service is pretty nice.

Is mealpal still in business? I tried to purchase a plan on desktop website and App, but both time were failed due to unknown issue.

This app has the worst sign up and sign in procedure. You can’t see the restaurants and meals before you paying. You are literally signing up for surprise.
