The minimum order amount for free delivery is not shown on the main feed; you must tap into an individual restaurant's menu page and look for a banner or label stating 'Free delivery with Prime over $X' near the top.
Where to find the Grubhub free delivery minimum
On the Grubhub app or website, the free delivery threshold lives exclusively on each restaurant’s individual menu page. It does not appear on the search results or the main feed. When you tap a restaurant from the list, scroll to the top of its menu. You will see a banner indicating the free delivery threshold for Prime members, often accompanied by a Prime logo. Grubhub does not display a universal minimum on the homepage. The perk is tied to each restaurant’s own pricing agreement, not to a single Prime-wide rule. If you do not see this banner immediately, check the area just beneath the restaurant’s name and star rating. It is sometimes hidden behind a “See details” link that you must tap to expand.
The minimum order amount for $0 delivery fees with Grubhub+ for Prime members is $12 on eligible orders, though some restaurants may not participate. Once you open a restaurant’s menu, the banner typically appears just below the restaurant name or above the item categories. It often sits in a small box with a Prime logo and a clear figure, such as $12.00 at the time of writing. Grubhub does not publish a permanent master list of these amounts, so always confirm the current threshold on the restaurant’s own menu page. If you want to confirm you are eligible for this perk, you must first know whether your Amazon Prime is linked to your Grubhub account. You can verify that in your Grubhub account settings under “Payment & Perks.”
What to do when you don’t see a free delivery banner
If the Prime free delivery badge is missing entirely from a restaurant’s menu page, that specific restaurant either does not participate in the benefit or has no minimum that unlocks the perk. In that case, the restaurant may still deliver to you. You will pay the standard delivery fee regardless of your order total. To avoid surprises, always check the banner before adding items to your cart. If it is absent, the restaurant likely opted out of the Prime partnership. You can also verify your eligibility by visiting the Grubhub help center and searching for “use grubhub with Amazon prime” to see a list of participating restaurants in your area. The list is not exhaustive and changes frequently, much like the rotating streaming perks that let you get free Hulu with Amazon prime.
Why the minimum changes between restaurants
The $12 minimum is part of the Grubhub+ Prime benefit terms and can change. This variation stems from the restaurant’s cost structure, delivery radius, and willingness to absorb the free-delivery incentive. Grubhub sets the $12 minimum order for $0 delivery fees as part of the Prime benefit, though restaurant participation may vary. Additionally, if you see an unexpected charge on your bill, you might wonder whether you are being charged for Prime Video separately. That separate subscription is included with your Prime membership, but it does not affect your Grubhub delivery thresholds, and you can learn why it sometimes appears as a distinct line item under Prime Video charges with Amazon Prime. Always check the banner on each restaurant’s menu before you start shopping. Remember that the minimum can change without notice based on the restaurant’s own updates.
