I just bought a box of your Banquet Country Fried Chicken to feed my family of four. Upon opening the box, I saw only four pieces of chicken, for which I paid $13.99.

I used to purchase your products frequently, however, I will no longer be doing so.

I would appreciate some coupons for this item, as my family loves this chicken. If you can send me a link, I can provide proof of the box and chicken.

Preferred solution: Maybe like coupons to buy this product again and enough to feed my family

User's recommendation: Don’t trust the box chicken

2 legs, 1 thigh and 1 breast in the Banquet Original Fried Chicken box. Picture and cooking diagram looks like it could feed a family. Should be at least 6 pieces in the box.

I thought I could feed a family of 4 with the size of the box and pictures. 4 pieces of chicken wont suffice. Picture on the front and back of the box shows 6 pieces.

The meal was fine except each time I get one there are no cooked apples just some juice. What is up with this.

That's the reason I get these meals. You need to do something with your quality control.

Company greed

Banquet Meals - Company greed - Image 2

I purchased a few of these TV dinners and when I opened the package on a Salisbury steak dinner the dessert apple there was none in it! None!!!

There is less than a tea spoon of said product and the box clearly shows a full serving or proportion that is clearly false advertising.

It is also absolutely horrible in taste. Are they even apples?

Most watery bland garbage I’ve ever had

Banquet Meals - Most watery bland garbage I’ve ever had

Ive avoided banquet meals for a while cause of other people telling me how bad they are, now I ended up with one of their Swedish Meatballs cause my bf bought it for me. Why is it literally the most watery bland garbage Ive ever had?

How do you even make this taste this bad?? Why are they even selling food if they cant make it worth while?

User's recommendation: Don’t get Banquet, there are better options for similar prices.

Bad box of chicken

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Banquet Meals - Bad box of chicken

Worst box of frozen chicken ever. Seven legs, three pieces of leftover white, and a pile of filling; seven legs and about a pound of uncooked coating is an abyssal attempt at making a box of fried chicken.

If you don't call me and satisfy me, I will make it my life's goal to recommend people to stay away from your products.

By the way, this platform for reporting problems is a terrible way to dissuade people from reporting issues. It only makes them more upset.

I purchased your family size Salisbury steak dinner and was sorely disappointed! The meat tasted like I was eating foam rubber! It wasn o more STAEK than my shoe sole.

when I read the ingredients on the box I saw why- it is chicken and a mix of other meats and grains to fill it out. You should be ashamed to call it STEAK!

Very disappointing. I've been buying Banquet products for years, and never was that disappointed.

I have bought your product 17 dollars for 3 pieces of chicken. Which is crazy.

Ive never had an issue like this. I am not impressed. Im really frustrated by it. Ive always bought your product's but i will be calling customer service also tomorrow about it.

When i opened the box. The bag was ripped in a sealed box. With the box being in perfect shape.

No cuts tears or anything. This is crazy

Banquet Homestyle Bakes

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I purchased the Banquet Homestyle Bakes Country Chicken, Mashed Potatoes & Biscuits, which is supposed to contain white meat chicken in the can of gravy. However, the gravy didn't have any meat in it, and its color was also different.

It's supposed to be white, but the gravy I received was beige or tan and didn't taste as it usually does.

There must have been a mix-up during packaging. I would like to receive another box for reimbursement, please.

I bought 8 of your Banquet Turkey meals. It was disgusting.

I had to throw them out because there was a piece in them that was not Turkey. Made me sick to look at them. You owe me a refund or coupons so I can get something else besides the Turkey. I am almost afraid now to eat any of your meals.

What the heck are you putting in you meals? This will not let me attach a picture.
