Adding on to a "severely disappointed" consumer
I wrote my not so nice review on a different page and I went back to it to add on to it...by submitting another review and it would not allow me to do that. so I'm here. you state that your chicken is fully cooked and all I would need to do is heat it up and WHAM! ready to eat.....not true. so not true my chicken clucks... just to sum up my last review for you and for those consumers out there that haven't read it yet- save your money people. not enough chicken to feed even 2 people. the so-called large? piece of chicken that you see is really not large at all. its quite smaller than you think once you remove the excess fat, skin, double-dipped breading outside making it appear larger, try cutting into your chicken first before taking a bite- it's not fully cooked as they say either. banquet chicken has really faltered and chose greed for $$ over product/consumer. bigger box, fewer pieces, more $$ &;; poor quality control. ONCE AN ICON....NOW just a CON
User's recommendation: DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT.

All sauce and no rice
Tried your Family size of Creamy sauce with broccoli and Chicken over rice. There was very little rice, very rubbery chicken and all sauce . Sorry your meals were good at one time and we wanted them ,but now after this I will not spend another dine on your products. Horrible
User's recommendation: don't buy this meal.

Pros
- I have been satisfied before
- Taste of fried chicken
- Good taste
Cons
- Not a lot of variety of flavord
- Not enough for price and pieces
Beautiful box cover, inside, not so much !!!
The nuggets on the box cover looked to be a good size and the pile of mac and cheese filled out the plate along with the brownie. Very YUMMY. I opened the box, nugget was just one good bite. I did not appreciate them with chocolate sauce on them. The brownie was very good, but it did not go down too well with the cheese sauce icing. The mac and cheese was very good. Your quality control dept. needs a supervisor. Punishment for the present crew should be 'Chicken Nugget Lunch for everyone.'
User's recommendation: quote The Raven..............NEVER MORE.

Salisbury Steak
I recently bought some Salisbury steak family meal. I was so disappointed that the patties are so much smaller!! I don't understand how you guys can call it a family meal anymore. It won't even feed a family!! I would rather pay the higher price for the way the patties used to be, than how they are now. What a shame. I am 71 years old and on a very tight income, and live by myself. I won't be buying banquet anymore, I also notice that the pot pies have also gotten a lot smaller. I'm so sorry, because I was a devoted Banquet customer, but no more.
User's recommendation: Buy where you can get your money's worth.

Original crispy fried chicken box
Bought a box of chicken and when opened it there was only 3 pieces of chicken in the box ! For the price that is ridiculas. Not even enough for 2 people !!
User's recommendation: go to KFC you at least get more than 3 PIECES.

Verified Reviewer New ReviewerPurchased a "new" breakfast and it burned even though I followed the directions
I have purchased many Brown 'n' Serve breakfasts and have always been satisfied until today. I purchased at our local Giant store and thought I'd try it because it had Potato Bites. I have searched for a Sell-by date and have not found one. I followed the directions as I always do and it all burned. Both the potatoes and sausage were so hard I could not pierce them with a fork and the pancakes both burned. I will not try them again-------I'll stick with the old ones but I thought you would want to know about this.
User's recommendation: Wait to try this one.l.

Disappointed with product
The box cover showed well, chicken and broccoli nice size. When I heated the product and pulled back the film I got a surprise. About 6 tiny pieces of chicken barely 1/2 square and fine-ground broccoli flecks. There were another 6 tiny pieces of green about the size of my little fingernail. (I have small hands) If you served this to your staff for lunch, they would all go out for a burger afterward.
User's recommendation: do not purchase.

Make the product inside the box match the picture on the cover. No ground green flecks and decent size chicken pieces.

Verified Reviewer New ReviewerMisrepresentation of meal
I had purchased some Banquet meals so I would have something quick to fix for myself and my husband when I did not feel like cooking, as I am now in my 80's and don't always feel good.. One of the meals was the Turkey meal.It advertised Turkey, gravy,dressing,mashed potatoes, sweet peas. There was NO dressing and very little of anything else. Very disappointing. I know these are small meals,but you do expect a few spoonfuls of each item. I have purchased other frozen meals and they were adequate.When you live on social security you have to stretch your money. The flavor was fine, just not enough food in the meal for the money.
User's recommendation: BEWARE very little food.

50 count sausages bag no reseal.
I bought a bag of banquet sausages 50 count. The bag is not resealable like it says. I put them into baggies and back into the original bag, but they got freezer burn on them.

Missing product in meal.
I'm 73 years old and have a long and faithful relationship with Banquet Meals. Tonight I was looking forward to a Swedish Meatball meal but when I took it out of the box there was no sauce with the meal. This is not a reason for me to quit purchasing your meals but it is the first time a meal has not been complete. Thank you for your time.
