Extra fees are becoming a common sight on restaurant receipts these days, whether it’s “compliance” fees or tipping on small take-away orders. However, if you’re ordering in, the prospect of free delivery is still available for your favorite meals.
While truly “no strings attached” free delivery is rare—since companies like DoorDash, UberEats, GrubHub, and Postmates need to compensate drivers—there are numerous trial offers that include unlimited free deliveries. After the trial period, you can choose to continue by paying a monthly subscription to enjoy free deliveries (on minimum orders) and additional discounts.
Whether you’re ordering wings for a game, a hearty dinner, or coffee and donuts for a group, here are 28 restaurants offering free delivery, with some grocery delivery options included.
