Locanut

I absolutely love Locanut! It has become a vey regular addiction. The salmon is incredible as are all the veggie sides and both the soups I have tried. Delivery is fast and the foot is always hot and fresh when we receive it. The staff at Locanut is kind, responsive and accommodating. Can’t speak more highly of them! r

I’ve pretty much tried everything on the menu and it is all absolutely delicious. Everything is fresh, organic, seasonal, colorful, and extremely satisfying. Tastes home-​cooked but inventive. My favorites dishes are the falafel and the chicken meat balls. You also have to try the sides. My favorites are the grilled vegetables in pesto sauce, the zucchini sticks, and the rainbow carrots. Thank you, Bella, for being such an amazing chef! I look forward to Mondays because I know I get to eat your food for lunch:-)

I was craving Italian food minus the carbs and came across the Locanut for lunch. My thoughts:
Zucchini Spaghetti — Seasoned w/​parsley, oregano, garlic, grated onion, and minced red pepper. This was my first time trying veggie pasta and I absolutely loved it. Portion size was just right.
Grass Fed Beef Meatballs — A tad undercooked and dry, but flavors were all there.
Definitely satisfied my Italian craving.

This place blew my mind.
There are a bunch of different paleo offerings in the city. Being a foodie, my biggest challenge with the majority of these places is that the food is bland and flavorless. NOT THIS PLACE!!!
When I first saw the menu I was hopeful that they would be doing something a little different. And they are. They are a total cut above any competitor that they may have in terms of flavor balance, food quality and variety.
Eating at their paleo competitor (which will remain nameless but is the big, sit down paleo place in the city) is usually ok and sometimes disappointing. In contrast, Locanut are total top of their game.
I had the chicken thai soup for lunch and took home the meatballs for dinner. It’s the first time in ages that I have given my food 10 out of 10. These guys area few blocks from my office and my new favorite thing.

Delish and so low calories!!!
new favorite place in the city

Saw this place for the first time on Seamless today and was so excited to see some paleo friendly options for once. I ordered the grass-​fed beef burger and added some avocado and got the sweet potato «waffles». The chips were ok, but the burger was great. It was so wonderful to eat a burger with a gluten-​free nutritious bun! Yum. Unfortunately seamless wasn’t working, well, seamlessly, but I got a call from the company and they apologized and delivered the food to me right away and at cost to them. I will definitely be ordering from Locanut again, and maybe even checking out their meal plans.
Yes, delivery could have been better, but it was an issue with seamless and not the vendor. Thankfully I wasn’t starving and regardless the food certainly filled me up. And extra bonus for a clean lunch that I can feel good about eating.
Not sure why people are complaining about the portions, I’ve been on a crazy pred regimen and am usually famished but the portion size was just fine for the burger. The quality ingredients outweigh the portion size for cost.

Just had the chicken meatballs with waffled baked sweet potatoes and zucchini sticks. I AM BLOWN AWAY. Never in my life has eating clean tasted so good. I pretty much live at work so we order in lunch & dinner and I can’t even begin to describe how hard it is to find delivery options that are healthy.
The portions are PERFECT. I have read a few reviews of people complaining about the portions for the price. First of all, these are the portion sizes that you are supposed to be eating to achieve and maintain optimal health. You are not going to find «Big Mac» gluttonous portions of food from Locanut. Second of all, when you pay a premium you are either paying that premium for quality or quantity. It’s a trade off and most people think they should be entitled to both. Personally, I was rather pleased with the portions and I would much rather pay the price to put wholesome well prepared food into my body than to pay to stuff myself.
The only thing I would love to see out of this business is extending their hours to dinnertime and offering dinner options. I have a whole office full of people who are desperately looking for healthy options for dinner and they would absolutely order from this place in a heart beat especially after how much I have been raving about it!

Delish! Fast delivery and healthy food. Love love love. My new delivery place! Amazing the salmon was cooked great and the kale and spinach yummmmm!

Their menu is right up my alley so I decided to give it a try for lunch. I got the turkey burger wrapped in collard greens, coleslaw, baked parsnip fries and sauteed cauliflower.
Turkey burger wrapped in collard greens — This burger was 4 inches by 2 inches. Just a turkey burger wrapped in a collard greens, nothing else. Taste was ok.
Coleslaw — It was in one of those tiny sauce containers. It was just dry red cabbage.
Baked parsnip fries — Nothing was baked. Every single piece had their tips blackened to a crisp and the rest of the parsnip was completely uncooked.
Sauteed Cauliflower — 4 piece of uncooked cauliflower submerged in turmeric water with 100 raw onions.
It was disgusting and disappointing. Maybe this was a bad day for you guys, but I don’t see myself eating your food again. For $ 32, you don’t expect the greatest quality, but come on.
Meh.

I have had many of the sides on the menu and the Free-​Range Chicken Meatballs with both Vegetable Spaghetti’s. Both Spaghetti’s are cooked to perfection and delicious. I prefer the Spaghetti Squash sauce to the Zoodles but both are flavorful and filling. Also Great portions, more than enough for a lunch and some leftovers for a snack or dinner.
My only negative is the chicken meatballs often has pieces of cartilage mixed in that I have to spit out and definitely throws off my appetite while eating. Other than that the meatballs are tasty and delicious and a generous amount is given.
Thanks for making a simple healthy lunch! :)

This restaurant delivers on healthy, fresh ingredients, prepared in whatever way gives them that Locanut, exactly-​what-​you-​need and delicious quality.

5 stars for making healthy food taste delicious (and gluten free!). If I could afford to eat this every day, I would, but it’s a little on the more costly side, when you factor in delivery.
The closest comparison (imho in terms of healthy food options and quality) is Maple, which I’ve been using a bit because of the ease of ordering and price… but Maple’s food is often really spicy.
I’ve never been disappointed by anything I’ve ever ordered at Locanut. I don’t eat much, so I often even have a little extra for the next day too :)
ps. thank you for the gluten free dessert options!

Called in 10min before closing time and for a delivery order. They gladly took my order! I ordered the turkey burger on the cauliflower bun with a side a of sweet potato fries. My meal was still hot and the fries were not soggy (hard to do with a delivery order!) everything was so delish!

Finding something that’s healthy (but isn’t salad or strictly raw, stodgy vegetables) is hard. Thankfully, Locanut knows how the pack on the flavor. The eatery boasts gluten-​free, vegan, grain-​free option, which is an eye roll for most, but the food is actually good and makes clean eating fun. The portion sizes leave you feeling perfectly satiated and the delivery men are very kind and professional, which is a rarity during lunch hour. Be sure to get the spaghetti squash puttanesca, it’s great!

I’m so excited I decided to try this place out. The food was fresh, healthy, and flavorful. In addition, they included a very friendly note wishing me a happy holiday. I didn’t experience any issues with delivery; in fact, the food arrived faster than expected. I know people complained of pricing, however, if you live in NYC and know the cost of organic food it should come as no surprise that it’s going to be a little bit more expensive. All in all, I loved this place!

Let’s be honest, my first thought prior to eating Locanut was that it was overpriced, based on the portion and that we are all fat americans looking for value and size.
What the portion appearance lacked, it made up for in how FILLING it was, kinda like how people purport this with oatmeal but seriously, who gets full from oatmeal? I’m still satiated four hours later, not craving a THING (which usually happens at the 3-​hour mark, hehe), and I don’t feel terrible or guilty over what I ate (minus the meat part, as I am trying to be a vegan 50% of the time, every time).
And yes, it wasn’t the moistest thing I’ve ever eaten, but first of all, it’s a turkey burger, it probably wasn’t pan-​seared in butter or a fatty oil (that I know of), and it’s crammed between gluten-​free mock buns. If you’re expecting moist succulence, go to Bareburger.
That said, the STANDOUT was the gluten-​free Cauliflower Almond Bun. It was so good in terms of texture and novelty, and I really liked the flavor. It was cake-​like, and crumbled a bit so I had to eat this with a fork and knife, but I loved it.

Absolutely the best. Even if I didn’t eat healthy, I’d come here. The fact that all the food is paleo compliant, organic, and local makes this a one of a kind place. Everything I’ve tried (and that’s many things) tastes amazing. It’s healthy and delicious. Thank goodness Locanut is here!

I really wanted to like Locanut (I love the concept…100% local, organic, paleo, gluten-​free, dairy-​free, non-​GMO, and refined sugar-​free meal delivery company with nutritionally balanced, healthy options), but its delivery service — the core being of the business — was so horrendous that I could only give them 3 stars at best.
I put in a lunch order at 11:15PM, and the estimated delivery time was 30 minutes. I still didn’t receive the order around 12:20, so I gave them a call. The person I spoke with apologized for the delay, and offered to give me extra side or dessert. I waited another 20 minutes, and the food finally arrive.
When I opened the package, I noticed that they gave me extra sides AND dessert — how nice! Or so I thought… until I realized they forgot my entrée! I gave them another call, and the same person apologized again and told me the food will be delivered ASAP.
I waited yet another 15 minutes and got my Free Range Turkey Burger ($ 16.95) with Butternut Squash on the side. The turkey burger was extremely dry and didn’t have much flavor. I liked the gluten-​free Cauliflower Almond Bun — it was also dry, but I’ve never had something like this before so I guess I was more attracted to the novelty of it. The burger came with really artificial-​tasting, overly sweet cranberry sauce and braised cabbage.
I could choose one side with the burger, so I got the Butternut Squash. This side dish was the reason Locanut was elevated to 3 stars as opposed to 1 star. The roasted butternut squash was mixed in with dried cranberries, toasted sunflower seeds, scallions, and sage. Delicious!
The Blueberry-​Orange Almond Square dessert was meh.

I ordered the salmon farmer’s plate for lunch with a side of brussel sprouts and the spaghetti squash marinara. The food was good, not great. However, the portion was absolutely tiny for a $ 28.73 lunch (farmer’s plate + tax + $ 5 delivery fee + 15% tip (wasn’t sure if delivery guy gets the delivery fee…)). Too expensive for too little food to add to my regular lunch rotation.

Really clean organic food that tastes great!
The food is carefully prepared and you feel like you are really giving yourself and nutrient boost.
A little expensive but worth it!

food arrived promptly (before grub hub’s estimate)
SUPER DELICIOUS. at first i was put off by the portion sizes but it was really filling and again, delicious.
this is a BIT more than i’d usually spend on lunch (see pic — this was just under $ 20 w/​delivery and tip) but I highly recommend nonetheless.

Love this food soooooo much, it’s unlike anything my taste buds have ever tasted Will be a full time locanut customer. Bella is awesome
