Features & Capabilities

ChowNow isn’t your typical ordering app. We don’t believe in crazy-high commissions for independent restaurants or inflated menu prices for customers. You can still order delivery or takeout from top local spots, with transparent pricing and fair terms that support small businesses.

Explore nearby restaurants, filter by cuisine, and see real-time availability and order tracking. Pay quickly with Apple Pay or save your card for fast checkout, and enjoy 24/7 human support via chat, SMS, phone, or email. ChowNow serves many U.S. cities, helping you find your next favorite meal—from pizza and pasta to sushi, burgers, and more.

User Reviews

Reviewers largely criticize ChowNow for expensive and opaque fees, frequent ordering issues, and unreliable app performance. Many report orders not arriving or wrong deliveries, refunds being slow or denied, and subpar customer support. Some positives note an easy-to-use interface and potential benefits to local restaurants. Privacy concerns about driver contact information are also raised. Overall, while navigation may be simple, reliability and value appear inconsistent with notable friction in support and refunds.

Pros

Easy to use / intuitive interface.
Claims to save money for local restaurants.
Appeals to busy users due to straightforward ordering.

Cons

High delivery fees and multiple extra charges, often higher than competitors.
Frequent order failures: orders not delivered or wrong, refunds denied or delayed.
App reliability issues: bugs, unresponsive screens, orders disappearing, payment method problems.
Poor customer service: slow, robotic, limited resolution to issues.
Privacy and safety concerns: sharing personal information with drivers and contactability.

Recent reviews

They charged me twice then said I had to contact the restaurant for a refund, yet I used their pay services to order food. I contacted restaurant and they also said there’s nothing they can do since I used a “3rd party site”. First time using this app too, save yourself the headache

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 the restaurant don’t deliver themselves.
