Pros and Cons

Pros

While Dinnerly isn't a strictly vegetarian meal service, you can click the "make my box vegetarian" option when choosing your meal plan. You can also browse the onsite menu to get a glimpse of the available vegetarian options, which are labeled "veggie".

Pricing and Plans

Dinnerly offers either two-serving or four-serving kits. You can subscribe to three, four, five, or six kits per week. Prices range from $6.39 per serving on the high end to the aforementioned low of $4.99 per serving. Regardless of which plan you choose, shipping is $9.99.
