Spoonrocket was wonderful when they first opened in Berkeley. Fairly good quality of meal for $5, delivered in 5 minutes? Awesome. But as they scaled, the quality of the food plummeted to just-above-American-Airlines status, and delivery times soared from 5 minutes to 30 minutes. And they raised their prices, to boot.
They used to do steak and mashed potatoes in plastic containers fairly regularly. Now you get a dry meal who's moisture content has been totally absorbed by a soggy cardboard container.
I went from a huge fan who ordered Spoonrocket multiple times a week to an outspoken critic. Enjoy Spoonrocket when it opens in your market, because it'll get really shitty in 3 months.
