Here’s a taste of what you could find on our app: Italian, Vietnamese, Korean, Japanese, Mexican, Thai, Greek, Chinese, French, Mediterranean, Indian, and a lot more. Check out our map to find places that are open right now, or offering a promotion. Order what you want by customizing menu items, and get it delivered with convenient, real-time tracking updates.

Ratings and reviews

Love the simple pricing - means that my local restaurants can stay in business! Also love that I can see local restaurants and filter that list. Wish the menu/ordering interface was easier to navigate. A long list of items with limited ability to filter or see descriptions isn't great, not to mention that the add-on options aren't clear in many cases and are shared across dishes.

I love how many restaurants are on here and it makes be happy to be able to support these places. I do have a problem with placing orders for pickup when I wanted them delivered and there is no way to change it or cancel and reorder. It doesn't ask if I want pick up or delivery it just defaults to pickup, even though the restaurant has the option for either.

Good when it works but it's not accurate. When you select restaurant, you can set for delivery or pickup. Do not trust the screens since it's misleading. It's not until you pay that it can switch to pickup . The app is a doordash front where they don't have an agreement with the restaurant. This happens many times and chownow knows the issue but won't fix.
