Grubhub has the clearest fee rule on this list: restaurant orders over $50 carry no delivery or service fees, with or without a membership. That makes it the natural pick for family dinners, group orders and anyone hosting, since the fees that grow with a big basket disappear. Grubhub says it has hundreds of thousands of restaurants, from local places to chains like Taco Bell, Panera Bread and Shake Shack, and it shows ratings and reviews to help you choose. For smaller orders, Grubhub+ costs $9.99 a month after a 30-day free trial and adds unlimited $0 delivery fees and lower service fees on eligible orders that meet the menu's subtotal minimum. The Grubhub Guarantee also promises to credit the difference and add a $5 credit if an eligible order is cheaper on a competing platform. Selection is thinner than DoorDash in many areas, so check your ZIP code first.
