Meal subscription boxes are becoming more popular every day. There are an endless number of options available and include every specialty diet. But for those who don't like cooking or you just want a night off from food prep and clean up duty, there are dinner of the month clubs.

Most monthly dinner subscriptions are meals cooked by professional chefs that only need to be reheated and enjoyed. They are perfect for busy families and make the ideal gift for a loved one. The meals that do not come fully cooked require only minimal preparation, such as boiling pasta.

Dinner of the month clubs ranges in pricing from less than $40 per month to $75+ per month. Most of the dinner subscriptions are set for two servings and include the main course, sides, and sometimes a dessert or appetizer. I'm currently recommending Amazing Clubs Dinner of the Month Club!

For those looking to give this as a gift, it makes a wonderful house warming present, new parent gift, or as a thank you to the chef in your home. Whatever the reason or occasion, the recipient of this thoughtful gift will absolutely love it, and think of your generosity every month their dinner arrives.

This list focuses on “dinner clubs”, but don't forget that you can also get meals delivered via meal kits, or pre-made meals as well.

Amazing Clubs

Amazing Clubs, founded in 2003, is one of the leading gifts of the month clubs in the US. They offer more than 40 different club options with various durations and price ranges.

Additionally, they provide a wide range of gifts and not just food, though food clubs are in the majority. Some of the other clubs they offer are: Beer, cheesecakes, dog treats, ice cream, lobster, movies, and teddy bears.

Plus, they offer 2 different dinner of the month clubs. The Amazing Clubs dinners are not precooked, but only require minimal preparation.

The first one, the Dinner Club, features monthly Italian dinners put together by top chefs, restaurants, and specialty food purveyors from around the world. This club starts at $27.95/month.

Each month the lucky recipient will receive a dinner that serves 2-4 people depending on their appetite. The meals include pasta with accompanying sauce, and a surprise gourmet treat like an appetizer, dessert, or dipping oil.

The second dinner club option is their Dinner and a Movie club. It is almost exactly like the Dinner of the Month club and includes one pasta and accompanying sauce enough to serve 2-4 people.

In addition to dinner, it also consists of a movie gift card for Redbox and gourmet popcorn. The Dinner and a Movie club starts at $30.95/month.

Both clubs also have a monthly letter that includes information about that month's dinner choice. The clubs come in 4 duration options, 3, 6, or 12 months, and seasonal, which includes 4 dinners, with a dinner shipped every 3 months.

Send a Meal

Send a Meal, founded in 2004 by Debby and Shea, initially opened in Austin, Texas, but later moved their headquarters to Colorado. Send a Meal's goal is to provide delicious and healthy meals to people all over the country. 

In their more than 15 years of business, Send a Meal has expanded outside of Colorado and now has multiple facilities across the nation.

Send a Meal offers a variety of meal options, including:

  • Special Diets (such as vegan, diabetic, gluten-free, vegetarian and keto-friendly)
  • Under $40
  • Gifts
  • Just Meat
  • Soups
  • Appetizers
  • Desserts
  • Sides
  • Meals for One

The meals range in the number of servings from 1 to 10. Meals are available as a single purchase or can be set up for monthly meal deliveries.

Their Meal of the Month club runs for 12 months for $1,188.95, which includes shipping.

All meals are prepared ahead, then frozen except for steaks, and only need to be reheated in either the microwave or conventional oven. Some meals, including steaks, require the steak to be cooked at home, to ensure maximum flavor and preferred doneness.

The Meal of the Month includes a main course and sides, and dessert is available at an additional cost of $199.95. The meals include four servings but are packaged to be easily split in half, creating two night's worth of dinners. Some examples of the meals include:

  • Lasagna with vegetables
  • Steak with potatoes and green beans
  • Stuffed sole, vegetable medley, and green beans
  • BBQ chicken, smashed potatoes, and vegetable
  • Winter pot Roast with vegetables

  • 6 Months for $499.95
  • 12 Months for $879.95

The prices listed above include shipping. Also, with Gourmet Grocery, each meal consists of 4 servings, plus dessert. The servings are packaged for 2, so you can always store 2 dinners for a later time. All meals are shipped frozen and can be reheated at your convenience.

Pig of the Month

Pig of the Month, founded by Lea Richards, is located in Dayton, Ohio. Finding the best BBQ places wherever the Richards family went was one of their family traditions when traveling.

So when the family heard of a famous BBQ place that shipped dinners, they were thrilled and placed their order for their Father's Day feast. With great anticipation, the family dove into rib dinner only to be met with disappointment.

Though their dinner plans were a flop, what came out of the encounter was the Pig of the Month. Richards believed she could create a much better dining experience for families like hers, who enjoyed excellent BBQ. And from that moment on, Lea worked hard to make that a reality.

Today Pig of the Month is a nationally recognized BBQ company that has been featured on Good Morning America, Rachel, Today, In Style, and the Martha Stewart Show.

The Pig of the Month Club offers a BBQ of the Month Club. Each month you receive a well-prepared BBQ meal, though not all are dinners. Some of the months feature breakfast or just an assortment of meat.

However, many meals include sides, and some even have dessert. Some of the meals in the subscription include:

  • 2 racks of Memphis ribs with a bottle of Memphis sauce, a pound of applewood smoked bacon, and bacon studded caramels for dessert
  • A mix of pulled meats, including pulled pork and pulled chicken, comes with sauce and buns.  
  • 2 pounds of bacon, a jar of Pig of the Month Bloody Mary Mix, a pound of maple breakfast patties, and bacon cornbread mix

Dinner Gift Ideas

Omaha Steaks

Steak dinner, the steak has three rare slices at the front end, on the side it is potato wedges, and mixed vegetables, blurred in the background is an apple tart

Omaha Steaks was founded in 1917 by a father and son duo, B.A. and Lester Simon. The Simon family had fled Latvia, to escape religious persecution, and came to the US. The family eventually made their way to Omaha, where they set up their meat business.

The original name of the company was Table Supply Meat Company because the first building they used had a sign that read Table Supply Company.

It was thanks to the railroad that Omaha steaks received recognition. Their steaks were served to guests traveling on the train. By 1952 they were offering a catalog and shipping their meats all over the country. Finally, in 1966 they re-branded to Omaha Steaks.

Today the family company is still going strong and is now run by fifth-generation Simons, Bruce, and Todd.

Omaha Steaks offers much more than steaks; they also carry things such as seafood, lamb, poultry, sides, desserts, and wine. One of the popular items they offer is their meals.

There is an abundance to choose from; however, their Choose 5 makes a very generous gift. Choose 5 is $99.99, and you get to pick the 5 meals included in this box. Examples of some of the meals offered in this plan are:

  • Slow Cooker Meal: Pork, Peppers, & Beans with Rice
  • Skillet Meal: Sweet Honey Shrimp
  • Beef Shepherd's Pie
  • Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

However, they offer numerous other meal plans too, including single servings, kits, and one-step meals.
