Grub Hub Review

 I live in a really out-of-the-way corner of San Francisco - no real shopping, no grocery stores, nothing to really walk to, except a mall. And not even a good mall. No restaurants, except for the mall's Olive Garden and Chevy's. I've written before about my frustration with how few restaurants deliver to my neighborhood. I've also written about a bad experience with a restaurant delivery service that overcharges and takes forever to deliver.

I believe in equal time, so it's high time I sang the praises of GrubHub.com

GrubHub.com is a website where people in several cities can type in their street addresses, and get a whole list of restaurants that are willing to deliver to them. There's no charge for using GrubHub, and the food is delivered directly fromt he restaurant, not picked up by a delivery service, left to sit around ina  car while other pick-ups are made, and delivered, hours later, freezing cold.

Using Grubhub, I've discovered a few really good restaurants that actually deliver to my orphaned corner of San Francisco. One of them has become a real favorite - they have really reasonable prices, great food, and excellent service - never taking more than 30 minutes to deliver food that is piping hot. Without GrubHub, I never would have known about them. Iuse dot know of only 4 places that would deliver to my place. Now I know about 47 places!

It's not difficult for me to sing the praises of this site. It's easy to use, free of charge, and tremendously useful. There's nothing not to love about it. You can even set up a virtual "menu drawer" to keep the menus of your favorite places, and keep track of previous orders. No more of that "What was the name of that awful pizza place we said we'd never order from again????"  You can also write reviews of the restaurants listed, and read consumer reviews before choosing a place to order from.

GrubHub.com rocks.
