- [R2] Beyond Menu Food Delivery Easy: Easy to use. Quick. Love it.
- [R5] Beyond Menu Food Delivery Easy to order!: Great deals!
- [R11] Beyond Menu Food Delivery Super Easy!: I keep returning to this app to order food for the ease and simplicity of ordering. 10/10 recommend!
- [R63] ChowNow Substituting or remove ingredients: It would be great to be able to say “no onion” or mayo on the side but this app doesn’t allow that.
- [R18] Beyond Menu Food Delivery Easy to use: Great food and service 🤙🏽
- [R25] Beyond Menu Food Delivery Love the App: Easy to use, super convenient to pick up and go!
- [R30] Beyond Menu Food Delivery Very easy to use: Never had a problem with order being transmitted to restaurants of choice. Get app!
- [R64] ChowNow HORRIBLE-DONT WASTE YOUR TIME: Horrible app and I wish I could give it a zero! The app has only worked once for me and after that, no matter what restaurant or card I use, it will not process the payments. I have used major credit cards, debit cards and prepaid cards! Nothing works and the only advice they give is to order over the phone. Unfortunately you can’t order delivery over the phone if th
- [R15] Beyond Menu Food Delivery service: Always on time. Food is delicious and the people are friendly.
- [R22] Beyond Menu Food Delivery Great food fast: This app has restaurants that are typically not in GrubHub Uber eats or the other food apps. Typically the restaurants are better quality quicker faster I thoroughly enjoy this app.
- [R70] ChowNow Late delivery: Order took an hour longer than the expected 25 minute delivery time. The restaurant ordered from called asking me when I would pick up my food right before they were about to close. I explained to them I ordered it for delivery and it was suppose to arrive a while ago. They said they would sent out my food but by the time it got here it the find was cold and stale. Contacted custom
- [R20] Beyond Menu Food Delivery Good: Easy to use and prices lower than other apps
- [R43] Beyond Menu Food Delivery Great no-bs takeout app: Does everything you need to order great food without robbing you via hidden fees!
- [R109] ChowNow Fees: $8 delivery fee and a $2 local fee. Add taxes and tips and it’s worse than competitors by a large margin for any small size order. Around $65 order size is when it feels competitive with the fees to others. For any single or double meal purchases I’d recommend sticking with others. A small steak meal on DoorDash cost me $23 to deliver but $31 to deliver on here.
- [R104] ChowNow Delivery fees are worse than DoorDash and Grubhub: I work 0.5 miles away from a restaurant that I like, but this app actually charges $8 delivery for a meal that was only $15. I’d just get the food myself but I only get 30 minute lunch breaks. Never ordering again unless this is fixed.
- [R48] Beyond Menu Food Delivery GREAT APP: I like this app a lot because it's way cheaper than uber eats and very user friendly. Also allows customization. I've been using this for over a year now and haven't had any issues. I also like the fact that the delivery is coming straight from the restaurant and not a random driver.
- [R73] ChowNow No Support: I was charged a delivery fee and my food was not delivered. When I reach out for support I was not given any and was disconnected.
- [R84] ChowNow WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE: Don’t use ChowNow. They lie about delivery time and “preparation window.” They gaslight you saying you are wrong when they literally can’t even show me any sort of proof on their end. Will never support them again and I advise anyone considering to, think twice.
