Updated: Apr. 02, 2020You can eat out AND stay in!
KFC
It doesn’t get more comforting than sitting around the table with family and fried chicken. KFC is making our quarantine dreams come true with free delivery until April 26th; the restaurant is also open for carryout.
Not only that, but KFC is also doing its part by donating one million pieces of chicken to franchises across the country. The donations will go to local communities in the form of hunger organizations to feed the hungry during this time of need, according to KFC’s statement on Instagram. Thank you, Colonel!
Olive Garden
Our favorite Italian chain, Olive Garden, is offering ‘buy one, take one’ on curbside pick-up orders. You’ll get one meal to for dinner and another one already packed up and prepared for tomorrow night’s dinner. The menu includes spaghetti, lasagna, ziti, fettuccine and more for just $12.99.
Chipotle
Craving a burrito right now? Same here. While Chipotle has closed their dining rooms, you can still carry out or have your chips and guac delivered. And Chipotle delivery is free through the end of March!
Starbucks
If you suddenly have kids at home all day, chances are you could use some extra caffeine. Starbucks has closed its seating areas, so grab a Starbucks to-go order by stopping in or hitting the drive-thru.
This is a chain we feel good about supporting, because Starbucks has committed to paying all its employees for the next 30 days, regardless of whether or not they come to work.
Chick-fil-A
Every wonder why Chick-fil-A sandwiches are so drool-worthy? You can ponder that delicious thought while waiting in the drive-thru line. Chick-fil-A has closed its dining rooms for the time being.
McDonald’s
If you had your heart set on a shamrock shake this year, you can still get the real deal. Unfortunately, McDonald’s has decided to pull the all-day breakfast menu for the time being while the restaurant restructures in response to COVID-19. McDonald’s has closed dining and play areas but is open for drive-thru and carryout orders.
Burger King
The King has a generous offer for you. BK is giving away two free kids meals with the purchase of an adult meal in an effort to help families who usually depend on subsidized school lunches.
Rather stay home? Make Burger King copycat recipes in your own kitchen.
Domino’s
You can still order the best delivery pizza ever. Domino’s is now offering contactless delivery to protect you and their drivers, as well as implementing stricter cleanliness standards in their kitchens.
Jimmy John’s
Jimmy John’s is already known for its lightning-fast delivery. Your favorite sub shop has closed its dining areas but is open for carryout and delivery.
Panera
If there’s anything that’s going to get us through this uncertain time, it’s the comforting meal of cheesy broccoli soup in a bread bowl. You can still enjoy all your You Pick 2 faves via delivery or Rapid Pick-Up.
Your meal will support those in need, thanks to Panera’s donation plan.
Noodles & Company
Noodles & Company copycat recipes are tasty and inexpensive, but sometimes you need the real thing. Enjoy all the buttered noodles you want with carryout or delivery orders.
Einstein Bros Bagels
Before you take a sip of your morning coffee, smear a little schmear on a hot, toasty bagel to-go. For a limited time, when you order a baker’s dozen from Einstein Bros, they’ll donate bagels to a family in need.
Wendy’s
Wendy’s chili recipe is the perfect way to warm up while snuggled on the couch this spring. The chain has closed its dining areas but remains open for carryout, drive-thru and delivery. We’ll take a Frosty!
Taco Bell
While Taco Bell dining areas are closed, you can still get your nacho fix with carryout, drive-thru and delivery orders.
Qdoba
Qdoba has made the move to limited-contact ordering. That means dine-in services at all Qdoba locations are suspended and are now “to-go only.”
Arby’s
Arby’s is temporarily suspending dine-in seating areas. Fortunately, you can still order for carryout or delivery through apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats. (That means you don’t have to lose out on Arby’s curly fries.)
Panda Express
To maximize social distancing, Panda Express has closed its dining rooms for the time being. You can still take a stroll through the drive-thru or order online to get your fix. Try Uber Eats, DoorDash, GrubHub or Postmates, depending on what’s available in your area. Or copycat these Panda Express recipes at home.
Dunkin’
Don’t worry, you can still order off the Dunkin’ $2 menu, so long as you order through the drive-thru or take your order to got Some Dunkin’s have reduced hours, too, so keep that in mind when you’re getting your coffee and doughnuts.

Pretend you’re starring in your own Sonic commercial when you enjoy a decadent milkshake in your car. The restaurant is still open for drive-in orders! Place your order in the Sonic app, use the app to check in at the Drive-In and your order will be delivered to your car. Or recreate your favorites at home with our Sonic copycat recipes.
Zaxby’s
At Zaxby’s, ordering is going online and mobile, and if you’d prefer to take the drive-thru, you’re welcome to do that. The dining areas are closed, and Zaxby’s is doing its part to prevent too much customer to employee contact. Still, we’re just happy we can get a taste of one of our favorite fast-food chicken joints.
Jersey Mike’s
You can still place take-out orders in-store or for pick-up using the Jersey Mike’s app, or you can order for delivery. Your order will come right to your door, courtesy of Jersey Mike’s or a third-party delivery service, like Uber Eats.

Jack in the Box
Jack in the Box has closed its dining rooms across the nation, but you can still order via the drive-thru or opt for carryout and delivery. As one of America’s oldest fast-food restaurants, it’s no surprise Jack in the Box is still serving its loyal customers.
