App summary

Analyze keywords

We’re not your usual ordering app. We don’t believe in crazy-high commissions for independent restaurants, to start. Or marked-up menu prices for you. But we still have delivery and takeout from the best local restaurants–so dig in.

EXPLORE NEARBY RESTAURANTS
Search for local takeout, delivery, or curbside pickup options by cuisine, restaurant name, deals and more. Maybe you’re looking for a specific type of food? 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.

CHECK OUT FAST
Enable Google Pay or save your card info for easy payment and fast checkout. Plus, quick reordering options help you get your favorites again in a snap.

User reviews

the app itself is good...chow now customer service is horrible...i was having a problem with the app and sent an email to customer service and after 2 weeks no response....then i find out they want you to open up a texting chat with customer support in order to solve a problem you have...but on their website it says you can email customer support...to me texting in a chat is annoying and time consuming. Just answer my email about any problem i have with the app....real simple.

They won't let you change the email address of your account so you lose everything if your email account goes away. Support says they won't help you unless you live in a state with better consumer protections like California. The app also doesn't let you leave on food delivery notifications if you turn off marketing notifications like every other app does.

Literally the only food app that regularly fails to work on my phone. Uber Eats, Door dash, Tock...they all work with 99% reliability. Chownow prevents me from logging in ~ 80% of the time saying the app can't find network access; although every other app requiring internet (e g. Chrome) is working. Really the most frustrating food app out there.
