Dude, tell me about it, I was a VIP with them, and ordered almost every single day due to a busy schedule, they would show up within minutes... the meatloaf stack, the enchiladas, the pasta, I always enjoyed it except for a couple times in all. RIP I will miss you Spoonrocket!

Now that I think about it more, there was something odd about how most times I would order, the app would say 30-60 minutes which was discouraging, but experience told me it would be sooner, and it always was, like much much sooner, 5 minutes usually. I wonder how many customers didn't use it thinking "why would I wait 30-60 minutes?" oh well.... the drivers were very nice too...



Their food was largely gross and very unhealthy. Mac and cheese daily, often with ranch and/or bacon?! And that Korean dish?

I don't know where all they were located, but it felt more appropriate for dorm delivery than SF. Where's the kale man?!


I don't agree that their food was "largely gross and very unhealthy" - mac & cheese was just one of the options, they always had 2-3 other nicer options

I was a user since 2013 and enjoyed their stuff, too bad it's gone

wonder if sprig's gonna survive..


Ya like meatloaf, ribs, burritos, etc. Everything was 700 calories+++


Not true at all. I'm a vegetarian and the veggie options were usually in the 4-600 range.


I'm not a vegetarian so I ignored those. I imagine that's often true for vegetarian dishes in the US that they're less calorically, with the exception of heavy pasta/cheese/butter dishes.

They also sometimes had salad. But in general the options were on the heavy side. I say this as a person who orders delivery from these apps regularly, and 80% of the time checked spoon rocket's options (and 5% of the time ordered).


Why would you ignore them? Some of them were pretty good. Food doesn't need to have meat to be tasty.


I need 3000+ daily, so it's good for me... busy, yet riding 100+ miles a week

obviously, not for everyone, yah, 700 calories can add up


does anyone know of other services which can deliver in around that 10 minute mark?
