Classic fried chicken

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

Ive always liked classic fried chicken meal but has really gotten awful. Mashed potatoes are pasty and chicken is dry on white meat. Dark meat is mostly crusty with little meat

Bate and switch advertising to rip customers off. How sad, hungryscam has taken a low road to get profits, consider closing your doors if this is how far you've sunk.

Their dinners are the worst

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

Back in the late 70s/early 80s, Hungry-Man dinners were the bomb. I used to look forward to eating them.

Flash forward to today, and you can tell corporate greed and disconnect have ruined the brand. I purchased the fried chicken meal, and it was awful. They were the tiniest pieces of chicken I have ever seen; I honestly wonder if maybe it was Cornish hen or pigeon or something. Likewise, to make the pieces 'look' big, the chicken was covered with a very thick layer of batter.

And last but not least, both pieces of chicken had broken bones in them. The chicken leg was broke right in half. If it weren't for the box and tray being undamaged, I'd have sworn someone ran over it with a pallet truck or something.

In my opinion, they need to fire all of their upper management and get someone in there to restore the brand. Otherwise, I see this being another company we'll see in the news filing for bankruptcy.

Suggestion

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

Can you please separate the boneless chicken patties so they dont get soggy from the potatoes.

Every time I eat one I think that cause its always soggy from the potatoes. Its a really good suggestion. I think in a lot of people would really like it besides me.

View full review
Pros:
  • Boneless chicken dinner is good
Cons:
  • Potatoes make the chicken soggy

Preferred solution: Just separate the chicken from the potatoes. I like the meal very much but hate that they are soggy from where they set on top of the potatoes.Just separate them.

Still hungry

Hungry child, weight watchers, came hungry, still hungry, left hungry. Their trade name is so deceptive.

Maybe 20 years ago but same box just less food and higher price. Fool me once, you had a good run "still hungry man".

Reduced quantity and quality

I used to eat them for lunch because I knew they had good taste and there was enough food to fill me up. The portions have shrunk, and the quality is worse. You have lost another customer.

Out of 3 pieces 1 piece was completely burnt and dried out should have never gotten by inspection of adding it to the meal. Was really disappointed about the quality of the meal.

Hungry Man Frozen Dinners - Quality is not what it once was.

The potatoes in our Hungry Man chicken dinners looked like paste. I spit out my first mouthful. We've been buying this particular dinner for a long time.

Very very very disappointed used to be able to eat a hungry man and get full my 5-year-old daughter can't even get full

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

What happened is being a very trusted company since 1970. Hungry man dinner used to be one of the best one of my favorites and now I look at it and have to laugh because it's a joke you gave us so little food now you have to buy three but just charge the same price That's pretty sick businesses who follow this protocol are sad you can't even call yourself a business and I could speak for many many many people who are very disappointed with your company.

Hungryman Turkey dinner lacking decent portion size

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

Simple, give more turkey, stuffing, and cranberries.

I used to love this TV dinner and have noticed that the portion sizes are much smaller, but the price has gone up. Do your loyal customers a favor and make it right!

FIX THE SAUCE

The BBQ sauce gets mixed up with the other items. Put the sauce in a package so it doesn't spill everywhere.

Poor quality control

Hungry Man Frozen Dinners - Poor quality control

Empty portion section, bottom right in photo. Waste of money.

I was very disappointed when I opened the Hungry Man product to find an empty section. It makes me less likely to purchase your product in the future.

Please try harder in the future for your customers. Complaints are like cockroachs, for every one you see, there are 1000 more you don't see.

I'm very disappointed when I open your product to find an empty compartment (bottom left in photo). You have poor quality control to allow this to leave the factory.

I enjoy your product but this experience leaves me less likely to purchase your product in the future. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors.

No more standards !

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

Just completed Hungry Man Mexican dinner and it was the worst Mexican frozen dinner I've had since the 90s.

Poor quality ingredients. Extremely low portions. My stomach is now upset over probably the red sauce that tasted like tomato juice with vinegar!!

The refried beans only filled the compartment 1/3 of the way. The enchiladas were portioned to fill only 60% of the section and the coconut pudding was 2/8 high (I measured).

Sticking with Nighthawk and Lean Cuisine brands!!!

Portions have decreased and type of chicken pieces also.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Hungry Man Frozen Dinners - Portions have decreased and type of chicken pieces also.

I usually receive a breast or thigh, but now I get 2 legs and I'm not sure what the 3rd piece is. I have also noticed a decrease in potato portions.

Furthermore, I usually eat 3 Hungry Man classic fried chicken dinners a week.

I'm getting kind of fed up with paying the price for what I received this time. If it continues, I will quit buying this product.

Pros:
  • Chicken is crispy
Cons:
  • Portions and type of chicken parts have decreased

Preferred solution: A decent coupon for the many times I'm getting shorted. Please get back to what you used to be.

User's recommendation: If it continues I guess switch to different brand.
