### 5/5 — Delicious!

*2026-07-31, version 5.1.11*

Not sure I’ve eaten a better cold meat sandwich.

### 2/5 — keep asking for email and password

*2026-07-31, version 5.1.11*

over and over in their same site. Quite a frustrating experience

### 5/5 — Dingdong’s

*2026-07-30, version 5.1.11*

They are absolutely worth every penny!

### 5/5 — Best sandwiches in the USA!

*2026-07-29, version 5.1.11*

Grew up in Pittsburgh. Sandwiches are the best along with the wonderful Pittsburgh citizens!

### 5/5 — Over the Pacific

*2026-07-28, version 5.1.11*

This year, especially, we have been enormously grateful that our orders from the Mainland to Hawaii - have arrived on the date chosen.
WONDERFUL SERVICE!

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-07-25, version 5.1.11*

I do like the app and find it helpful. I’m sometimes unsure about what I want and do at times finding my laptop a bit easier to navigate.

### 5/5 — Great desserts and great gifts to give

*2026-07-18, version 5.1.11*

I have been using Goldbelly now for a little over a year. It’s really been fun getting desserts from across the nation that there’s no place to that could ever do something like that. Special birthday treats and gifts. I recently used Goldbelly send a special meal to my daughter so she didn’t have to cook on a special occasion for herself and her husband. What a great and unique way to give gifts and enjoy yourself highly recommend the food comes perfectly delivered to your door.

### 5/5 — The best app for Food Delivery

*2026-07-16, version 5.1.11*

Goldbelly is a true find. The assortment of fabulous foods makes me hungry every time I peruse the app. The delivery is always excellent and they keep you in close communication when there is adverse weather possibly affecting delivery. The prices are fair  for such great quality. I have had to call customer service a couple of times due to my errors involving not adding my discount code and once giving a wrong address and they were absolutely the best and rapid in correcting the issue. I wish I could give them 10 stars at least!  Ialsaccaccumullating

### 5/5 — Cake

*2026-07-09, version 5.1.11*

I have received this red white and blue velvet cake for smith island for 2 years and it is delicious it is easy to order and the service is exceptional!

### 3/5 — What Promo Code?

*2026-07-09, version 5.1.11*

I started looking at items that I want and there was a $50 promotion for first time orders over $50.00. I went and started my order and it said I didn’t have enough for the promotion, however I hadn’t finished.  I went back to retrieve the promotion code ( it was still in a five hour window) and it had disappeared, bogus bait and switch. I loved eating the items listed while in Alaska, otherwise I feel screwed over!

### 5/5 — I have never been disappointed

*2026-07-05, version 5.1.11*

The title says it all! Always good quality and quick delivery.

### 5/5 — Great treat for any celebration or just because!!

*2026-07-01, version 5.1.11*

I have ordered multiple items for gifts & for ourselves and have never been disappointed!! Quality has been great every time!!

### 5/5 — Clam chowder

*2026-06-29, version 5.1.11*

The chowder is as good as good to get it in person. I’ve ordered this at least 5 times.

### 5/5 — A Genius Concept & App Store Hidden Gem 💖

*2026-06-27, version 5.1.11*

I’ve had Goldbelly for years, but I only recently placed my first order… and now I’m OBSESSED.

I honestly don’t know why more people aren’t using this app?! It’s such an amazing way to support small businesses from anywhere, while getting to try unique, iconic foods from across the country.

Thanks to Goldbelly, ordering a donut cake from Minnesota and Welsh cakes from Maryland was much faster (and definitely cheaper!) than booking a flight and hotel 😎

Patiently awaiting my invite to the first Goldbelly food festival!

### 5/5 — Schlepping NY Deli to Austin, TX

*2026-06-16, version 5.1.9*

Thrilled to have Gold Belly to deliver us delicious deli food!

### 5/5 — Unbelievable great service!!

*2026-06-15, version 5.1.9*

If there’s one thing I could change/add to GoldBelly would be to have the ability to things shipped in one hour!!!!! 🤣😂🤣

### 5/5 — Great shipping!

*2026-06-09, version 5.1.9*

Love the food choices offered by this company. And love the shipping! I have never had any issue with shipping food and it arriving safe and delicious!

### 5/5 — Gifting

*2026-06-07, version 5.1.9*

Sent a gorgeous edible flower bouquet as a gift. I’ve never seen something so gorgeous and unique before. Got it from Wildflour Cakery. Made such an impression when it arrived!

### 1/5 — Spoiled food delivered

*2026-07-25, version 5.1.11*

I placed an order and realized minutes later I needed to change the delivery date for the weekend so my order of Japanese pastries with dairy and chocolate didn’t sit out in the hot sun all day. The website told me my new delivery was on a Saturday, and confirmed the change.

My order was received on Friday instead and sat in the Texas sun for almost an hour. Spoiling the dairy and melting the chocolate. It was packed in a thin styrofoam box with one tiny ice pack. Even though it shipped clear across the country for days.  I was unable to gift the item as is.

I contacted them outside of their 2wk timeframe. I was told they wouldn’t refund or replace the item. 

I fully believe it would have arrived spoiled either way. If I could I would attach the pictures here. 

They say they can safely ship around the world. This is false. Do not rely on this as a gift for someone!!!

I will never work with this company again.

### 1/5 — Bad interface

*2026-06-18, version 5.1.10*

Very difficult to navigate

### 1/5 — Impossible to use

*2026-05-29, version 5.1.9*

Is the discount code a scam?

### 1/5 — Not flexible

*2026-01-24, version 5.1.0*

I currently subscribed for the monthly Chef box for valentines Day I am an army veteran who has had to go home because my mother is very sick with cancer. I asked support if there was any way we could include some type of meal or side that would be soft because she has mouth cancer and that was willing to pay more but that I didn’t want my mother to feel excluded and they pretty much said aw that’s sad sorry can’t help buy something else off the website. Just wanted to make my mom feel included and have something to eat with her family

### 1/5 — Terrible App

*2026-01-09, version 5.0.9*

Worst food ordering app I’ve ever seen.

### 1/5 — support there is none

*2026-01-07, version 5.0.9*

when you have an issue it takes 2 days to get a response. then they often do not follow up.  they used to be great. now very frustrating

### 1/5 — Way to ruin Christmas

*2025-12-22, version 5.0.8*

A chatbot that doesn’t understand a problem order, warm food that was delivered several days late, outrageous shipping costs,no phone support even though they are running Christmas promotions to drum up business = never ordering from again and letting friends and other folks know what scam this service is.

### 1/5 — Too expensive for mistakes and no customer service right before Xmas

*2025-12-20, version 5.0.7*

Ordered St. Elmo’s steak dinner with shrimp cocktail for four as a gift for some family delivered right before Xmas.  It’s expensive, but worth it to get my brother the famous cocktail sauce.  Delivered yesterday and no shrimp or cocktail sauce.  How is that missed?  And how do you have no phone or text customer service available from 12/19-12/22?  Absurd.

### 1/5 — Week delay

*2025-12-17, version 5.0.7*

Have only used once, and give their reviews, my experience is likely an aberration 
.however, my food delivery is a week past due and not happy so 🤷🏽‍♂️

### 1/5 — Only allows good reviews

*2025-12-12*

I have both ordered and received as gift. And every time has been a bad experience. It is wild to me that that company survives and I just realized it’s because you can’t submit bad product reviews. 

The latest was a product that from the order slip was shipped an didn’t get to me for a week - so of course the carrier has to do with it. But the instructions were horrible and required over an hour of work and prep. But when you go look at the listing, it doesn’t say that at all. You think you’re buying something that is ready to eat after you re hear. Not like a meal kit that you have to spend an hour cooking. 

Very disappointed how they just hide the ball.

### 5/5 — Great customer service !!!

*2026-08-20, version 5.1.11*

Twice, through no fault of their own, did Gold Belly refund me money because the shipment did not arrive when I needed it to be there !!!
I immediately stayed with them as I was sooo impressed!
I will keep on ordering  from them because I love their products - but also because I honor their integrity !!!

### 5/5 — The best!

*2026-08-18, version 5.1.11*

3rd order to Goldbelly. So easy. Great food. Lucky us!

### 5/5 — Great service

Used them in the past with great timely service

### 5/5 — New York Suz

Always perfect! Never disappointed. The best Lobster Rolls outside of Maine❤️

### 5/5 — Masudm

*2026-08-15, version 5.1.11*

I love the food. It’s a bit expensive though.

### 5/5 — So convenient

*2026-08-13, version 5.1.11*

Where else can you go to choose awesome food gifts from world famous restaurants and specialty shops in one convenient place. Although a bit pricey, I have never been disappointed

### 5/5 — Best _lace for quality food

*2026-08-12, version 5.1.11*

Goldbelly is the go to site for a real corned beef sandwich

### 5/5 — Egg etc

*2026-08-12, version 5.1.11*

Good quality NY bagels, plus they have EGG bagels. Not everyone does!  ❤️

### 5/5 — Killer

*2026-08-11, version 5.1.11*

Product and service tops!

### 5/5 — Love/Hate

*2026-08-05, version 5.1.11*

While I just LOVE the GENIUS of this app, I HATE the ridiculously HIGH shipping cost. I would order SO MUCH MORE often if it came was even $5, preferably $10, LESS! I just completed my second, maybe third order ever, but sadly it will most likely be my last.
