On your main feed, look over on the left.

Alternatively, you can filter specific types of cuisine by clicking the options on the left. Facebook does a pretty thorough job of listing any place that&#8217;s available via online order. It even says how far it is from your current location if you&#8217;ve told Facebook where you are.<\/p>\n<p>Clicking on the thumbnail or the restaurant link will also take you the restaurant&#8217;s Facebook page, which is useful if you want more about them, like phone numbers, reviews, or community info.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re hungry now, go ahead and click on the<strong> Order Now<\/strong> instead. This will take you directly through a food ordering proxy like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grubhub.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>GrubHub<\/strong><\/a> or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/get.chownow.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ChowNow<\/a>.<\/strong> For restaurants connected to multiple online food ordering and delivery services, a window will come up that asks which you&#8217;d prefer to use. Pick, and then it&#8217;s just a matter of placing your order.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yPp4zi9LV5Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For more great tricks and tips on Facebook&#8217;s more hidden features, check out the above video.
