Curbside pickup allows you to order food from a restaurant online or by phone; when you arrive at the restaurant, an employee will bring the food out to your car. Curbside pickup hours are generally the same as dine-in hours, so you can pick up food any time the restaurant is open.

You can order your food several hours ahead and schedule a pick-up time, or you can order the food for pickup as soon as possible. Depending on current demand, you should give the restaurant about twenty minutes to one hour to prepare your order if you choose immediate pickup. You should receive an approximate pick-up time when you place the order.

Below, we list the most popular curbside pickup restaurants, along with information about how to order. We gathered this information by contacting customer service representatives for each restaurant and checking the ordering options on their websites.

    LongHorn does not have curbside pickup, wish they did. Olive Garden does not have curbside pickup either.

      Hello, Edith! We looked into this and have removed LongHorn from our list, as none of the locations we contacted currently have curbside pickup. However, Olive Garden does offer a Car-side Pickup service at select locations; we have updated our research to reflect that this service is not available everywhere. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
