Empty fridge? Rainy day? Living in your office? Or just ready to treat yourself? Delivery heroes are standing by to help slay the hunger monster. This app puts nearly over 400 menus from nearby North Carolina restaurants right in the palm of your hand. Make your choice and a delivery hero will hook you up with your favorite food, traffic-free and hassle-free. Choose that awesome dish you love then sit back and relax while we come to you. Status Updates: Once your order is on the way, your app keeps you in the loop. You’ll know the whereabouts and arrival time of your food and can greet it with fork in hand. Order Ahead: We all know that burrito craving will hit you in a week or two. Don’t wait ‘til the last minute. Order as far in advance as you need, and when the time comes we’ll place your order and whisk it to you while you sit back and relax. Order Support: We know that sometimes stuff happens even with trained delivery professionals. If on some rare occasion something goes wrong, we don’t force you to submit a support ticket. If you do need help we’re here, and it will be actual local people from the Tarheel state, many of whom toss around “y’all” like a local. Options: We’re picky about getting you just what you want. Need that burger 4/5ths bacon and 1/5th veggie but labeled for three people? Fine, we don’t judge. We just make it happen. Takeout Central currently serves Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Asheville and Wilmington NC. We partner with hundreds of restaurants to bring you great food when you need it. We’re not scared to drop a few names – they include Mellow Mushroom, P.F. Changs, Med Deli, Moe’s, Spicy 9 and Cornerstone. Get the app and find your favorites

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Takeout Central holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Takeout Central has 588 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of Takeout Central's written reviews are positive against 63% of Juicekeys Order's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Takeout Central ships an update fortnightly, Juicekeys Order weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
