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+++

      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

      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.

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