15 Restaurants Offering Free Delivery So You Can Still Have Fried Chicken

March 27, 2020

Craving a Carl’s Jr. burger but too scared to leave the house? Super hungry for a Blaze Pizza but don't want to risk threatening strict social distancing rules? We feel ya. For most Americans right now, take-out is the only restaurant option due to the coronavirus pandemic. But, the good news is, a few major chains have recently added delivery options to bring customers their favorite foods at home. Whether you’re looking to feed the family with Moe’s Southwest Grill’s $25 Taco Kit or you’ve got a craving for Denny’s Signature Slam, being homebound isn’t a problem. These 15 restaurants are offering free delivery during the quarantine.

Now, some restaurants do have caveats. For instance, Chili’s will waive delivery fees provided your order is over $15. Another thing to note is that each restaurant is using a different service or software to deliver the goods. If you want IHOP, you can just place your order through the company’s app. If it’s Subway you’re after, Uber Eats, DoorDash, Postmates, Grubhub, and Seamless can all bring a sub to your door. And don’t forget to check for a promo code. Some restaurants will only honor free delivery if you use the appropriate promotional wording to get the deal.
