We’re going to be honest, we never heard of Bite Squad until one of our Gurus happened to spot one of their vehicles. So, we decided to do some homework and write a Bite Squad review!
As it turns out, this gem of a food delivery service has a lot going on, from uniformed drivers (who are employees and not just contractors) to a unique 5-step order tracker.
Bite Squad has our attention, and hopefully yours as well.
As you will see, we remain balanced and unbiased when we review food delivery services. That’s why we present facts and not opinions.
In this Bite Squad review we will cover:
- A quick history of the company
- What areas they service
- What kind of food they deliver
- What people are saying about Bite Squad
- Bonus: Coupon code you can try on your first order!
Quick History of Bite Squad
Bite Squad was founded in 2014 by Kian Salehi and Arash Allaei, two friends who wanted fast and reliable food delivery in Minneapolis.
While most food delivery services contract out their deliveries, Bite Squad hires and supplies their drivers with branded cars and uniforms. Bite Squad also integrates Yelp reviews into their ordering process (knowing most people will probably search for restaurant reviews before ordering).
In December of 2015, Bite Squad received investment from Brightstone Venture Capital who currently remain their only investor.
In 2017, Bite Squad acquired 17 other smaller food delivery services such as, Delicious Deliveries, Foodie Call, and 2 Dollar Deliveries

What are people saying about Bite Squad?
Here are a few examples of what people are saying about the Bite Squad service:
“Bitesquad is by far the best food delivery service around. I have use grub hub, door dash, Amazon, and even uber; none of them provide the quality service like bitesquad.” -Selena, trustpilot.com
“The ordering of food was easy. The app was simple. The driver was ahead of the estimated delivery time. The food was mostly hot, and did not seem very authentic indian food. the Gobi Manchurian was soggy. But that is really the restaurants issue, not bite squads.” -Randy, trustpilot.com
“Bitesquad promised to deliver in 50 minutes when ordering. No update or response until 2 Hours. Customer service unable to help. Call local pizza service from now on.” -Nick K, sitejabber.com
“I am reviewing for BiteSquad in Seattle area, WA. The service seemed reliable,the driver arrived on time and no messed up order. The delivery fee was somewhat okay $5.99 considering the restaurant is 20minutes distance. However, they make you pay the tips to the driver and their online team in advance upon paying for your order. It may be okay but it is NOT okay when they add up tax with the tips amount you pay! I would prefer to give tips to the driver in person, rather paying in advance and added tax with it! that is not right and unethical..” -Hana A, sitejabber.com
However, ratings and comments for the Bite Squad app in both the Google Play Store and Apple’s iTunes didn’t seem to hold up to their reputation:
Bite Squad Apple App store ratings
Bite Squad Google Play store ratings
