Yes — McDonald’s delivers, and it has for years. McDelivery runs through the McDonald’s app and through Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub in most markets. The catch is the price: menu prices run higher in delivery apps than at the counter, plus delivery and service fees — and the app is usually the cheapest route, and the only one that earns MyMcDonald’s Rewards points. Here is how each route works and what it actually costs.

How McDonald’s Delivery Works
| Route | Delivers? | What to Know |
|---|---|---|
| McDelivery (McDonald’s app) | Yes | Usually cheapest; earns Rewards points |
| Uber Eats | Yes | Most markets; menu prices run higher |
| DoorDash | Yes | Most markets; menu prices run higher |
| Grubhub | Yes | Most markets; menu prices run higher |
| Pickup in the app | Counter prices | Curbside + drive-thru, skip the line |
| Fees | Vary by market | Delivery + service fees; app shows total first |
The table’s one line that matters most is the first: order in the McDonald’s app and you pay the least, and you are the only customer earning points. The third-party apps are the convenience play — same food, higher menu prices, fees on top — which is fine when the app is not an option, but it is not the cheap way to do it.
McDelivery in the App: The Cheapest Route
Order through the McDonald’s app and delivery is fulfilled by the chain’s own McDelivery setup. Menu prices are closest to counter prices, the delivery fee is the app’s own (and the app shows the full total before you confirm), and — the part regulars care about — it is the only delivery route that earns MyMcDonald’s Rewards points. If you order delivery more than occasionally, the points alone make the app the default. The current deals math, including the Monopoly window running to November 1, is on our McDonald’s coupons page.
Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub: What Changes
The three big platforms all carry McDonald’s in most markets, and the food is the same. What changes is the bill: menu prices in third-party apps run higher than at the counter, and each platform adds its own delivery fee and service fee on top. Fees and any minimum order vary by market and by platform — there is no national figure to quote, and the app you are ordering in shows the exact total before you confirm, so check it there rather than trusting a round number from a blog. The other thing that changes: no Rewards points. Points are an app-only benefit.
How Much Does McDonald’s Delivery Cost?
There is no single answer, because the total is three moving parts: the menu price (higher in third-party apps than at the counter), the delivery fee, and the service fee — all of which vary by market. The honest way to budget it: a Big Mac is $6.29 at checked counter prices, so a delivered Big Mac meal will land above the counter meal price by the fees alone. Order in the app, and the gap is smallest; order on a platform at peak hours, and it is widest. And if the bill is the problem rather than the doorstep, the McDonald’s guide has the shortcuts regulars use, including the pickup options below.
The Cheaper Alternative: Pickup in the App
If you can make the trip, curbside and drive-thru pickup ordered in the app cost counter prices — no delivery fee, no service fee, no inflated menu prices — and you skip the line entirely. It is the same app, the same Rewards points, and the food at the price the menu board says. For most orders, pickup is the deal delivery cannot match.
Does McDonald’s Deliver Late at Night?
It depends on the store. Many McDonald’s locations run late-night drive-thru, and some are 24-hour; delivery follows the store’s own hours, so a location that closes at 11 PM stops taking delivery orders then too. The app shows only the stores actually open and delivering at that hour — if your store is not listed, it is closed, not broken. Our McDonald’s closing-times guide has the full hours picture.

Does McDonald’s deliver?
Yes. McDelivery runs through the McDonald’s app, and Uber Eats, DoorDash and Grubhub carry McDonald’s in most markets.

Is there a minimum order for McDonald’s delivery?
Minimums vary by market and platform — there is no national figure. The app you order in shows any minimum before you confirm.
Does In-N-Out deliver too?
No — In-N-Out is the famous exception. It has never offered delivery and sued DoorDash over unauthorized listings. Our In-N-Out delivery post explains what those listings actually are.
Conclusion
McDonald’s delivers — the question is only which route, and the answer is the app: cheapest prices, the only Rewards points, and the full total shown before you confirm. The platforms are the backup for when the app is not an option, and pickup is the deal that beats both. For the full picture — menu, secret menu and nutrition — the cluster has it. And for the chain that refuses delivery entirely, see does In-N-Out deliver.
