Locanut

I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised and quite impressed with Locanut. This wouldn't be my first choice in restaurant type but my friend is gluten-free and I came with her to make sure I was fair about our hang-times. I was under the impression that I would be sacrificing to a degree however, I was delighted to find that everything was pretty delicious and the service was excellent. Jonathan was very knowledgeable, really honest and helpful in a laid back way. The vibe is casual and NY studio cool. It's "snug" but inviting with lo-fi soul beats playing. Loved this unexpected treat... will definitely recommend and I'll be back!

Absolutely amazing! I found this place online by googling for healthy food because I was in the Chelsea neighborhood. Holy cow this is Mecca if you love to eat healthy. I could order everything on the menu. Jonathan here is outstanding

Sorry but not even my dog eats like this. We ordered the miso salmon bowl and the hanger steak bowl, small portions for a total of 60$. Salmon bowl was literally half filled with only raw peppers. Steak was overcooked and burnt and it looked more like a soup rather than a plate, in fact I wasn’t even asked how I wanted it. And to make everything better, the waiting time? 30 min. Personnel inattentive and unconcerned, I don’t think they even knew which company they were working for or where they were at. Never again, please avoid.

I really loved my experience here! The menu has such a great selection of wholesome, nourishing foods that are cooked in a way that feels fresh and light, nothing overly processed, just real ingredients prepared thoughtfully. You can tell a lot of care goes into making food that not only tastes good but also makes you feel good after eating it. The staff are incredibly warm and welcoming, and they take the time to walk you through the menu if you’re unsure what to order, which makes the whole experience even more inviting. On top of that, the space itself is spotless, clean, well cared for, and just a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. My only note is that it is a bit on the pricier side.

Luckily found this place when I was looking for a place to meet a friend. When I got here I wanted to immediately take everything home with me. I wish I still lived in Manhattan so I could be here every day. This place has all the things a girl like me is looking for: gluten free, vegan, grain free, responsibly sourced and prepared… my friend doesn't have as many diet restrictions as me yet she still found and loved her dish. We both took home several meals for the week and be sure I will be back!

My first impressions of this cute restaurant in NYC exceeded all my expectations. It’s small but open and bright with a really nice dining layout. With all of my food allergies (GF, DF, and refined sugar free) I struggle to find restaurants that can accommodate all of my needs. I’m not kidding you when I say I could eat EVERYTHING on their menu. My heart for food was so happy. The meal was incredible and so so nourishing. And I could even eat the desserts!!! Wow. What an amazing experience! 10/10 would recommend this friendly place in the heart of NYC.

Terrible experience – overpriced, tiny portions, and dishonest billing Locanut was a huge disappointment. The portions were absurdly small – the granola with fruit barely covered the bottom of the bowl, and the cauliflower pancakes were two tiny pieces, like for a toddler. The sweet potato fries were burnt. Flavor? Average at best. For these prices? Ridiculous. The worst part? They overcharged me by adding items I never ordered – and charged my card over $400. They eventually corrected it, but that kind of “mistake” is unacceptable and feels dishonest. There are plenty of great places to eat in NYC. Avoid Locanut – not worth your time or money 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

This place is amazing if you love healthy food. It’s on the pricier end, but the food portions are big enough that it’s probably 1.5 meals. There are a lot of unique healthy options. I got the hangar steak bowl and the steak was so juicy and delicious. The employees are so friendly as well.

Absolutely amazing! Feel good, healthy food, an amazing and attentive staff, and a fun vibe. Diners dining alone or having fun conversations. Although the space is small, the staff and food are awesome. Super glad I finally checked this spot out!

Best place ever, I am obsessed. So fresh and dairy free I love it! Favorites are the salmon bowl and chicken plate

At its core, this place makes meals for you that are as clean and healthy as you could make for yourself but you just don't have time for. Beyond that there are a ton of things I clearly couldnt cook for myself like the avacado gaspacho, and the other soups which are inventive and phenomenal tasting. Ordering via app is expensive, just like everywhere else in manhattan, but you have to love the fact that you are getting clean ingredients made exactly to order. one of a kind spot for sure!

They demanded I cancel my order online after they couldn't fulfill it. Horrible service

I have Ulcerative Colitis and have yet to find anywhere else i'm able to eat when i'm in a flare. this place is a GODSEND.

I used to love this place when I lived in nyc! I ordered from this place several times a week! I love that they adjust the salt levels to your liking and offer gluten free options. I moved to Florida and sadly there's no place like this, so I don't even order in anymore. Bring Locanut to Florida!

This was 39$. Food is fine, but for $40 I could buy 4 pounds of fresh wild salmon. I'm still hungry after eating. Not worth the price.

Wrong address!!!!! Not ninth ave Yelp absolutely wrong No one to change order .................................. ...........................................

LOVE. Like God DAMN that's good. Follows that gourmet expensive style, but know that the flavor will follow and it's super healthy. I recommend going there in person if you can--it's iffy on orders via app.

I'm happy they were delivering to where I work! I ordered the roasted garlic cauliflower mash, small size 12oz. I also ordered a couple drinks and the grass fed meatball plate with roasted Brussels sprouts and pesto spaghetti squash. Delivery arrived a little late but maybe they were busy. Food was warm when I got to it. The roasted garlic mash I ordered spicy and it was. Had a nice heat to it. Not like mashed potatoes!! It was more soft/liquidy than mashed potatoes. Cauliflower contains more water. So texture is similar to baby food in a jar lol. The garlic flavor was light. It was good! It's worth it. $7.50 The grass fed meatballs I ordered spicy too but they were not. It's ok cause the flavor was good. I like the fresh tomato sauce and capers. The Brussels sprouts were perfectly roasted. Tasted fresh. The spaghetti squash was also cooked perfect and the pesto was a light flavor too which was nice. I would definitely order again from here and I'm pleased with the cold drinks I ordered too. Both good. I recommend this place! Yummy fresh food.

Ordered the organic chicken fajita with baked pumpkin spiced sweet potato fries. Pros: The food was really good. The chicken fajita had a nice subtle spice to it but not enough where you couldn't eat it. I enjoyed the sautéed peppers and onions as well. I never had a wrap using collard greens so I was happy it didn't hinder me eating. It was soft to bite into and not crunchy so it was easy to fold around the chicken.The pumpkin flavoring on the fries was good as well. Tasted a bit sweet like cinnamon was used as well. Cons: My food was delivered 30 mins later than estimated (1.5hrs) but luckily I wasn't that hungry. But based on other reviews I would take that into consideration if you feel like you might gnaw off your hand from starvation. Presentation wise it wasn't the best. When I opened the container there was a lot of liquid from the fajita which made some of the fries soggy. Although I liked the collard green wrap, the already soft leaf got a little soggy from all the liquid. Overall I would order from here again. It reminded me of food that I could easily make if I actually had any form of cooking skills which I don't. At all.

Love this place so much I just ordered the turkey burger on an almond cauliflower bun- I fry my own egg at home since I'm obsessed with having to see an orange yoke, not yellow.- But I order the pickles - aioli with guacamole on side- I slather the gauc and aioli atop each bite with pickles inside- mmmm yum. The chocolate chip cookie . Taste so naughty and good I have a lot of food sensitivities and this place keeps my reactions at bay- one of the rare delivery places to do so. The bone broth soup is delicious - I order with a side of meatballs Cauliflower mash is one of my favorites But the most amazing convenience of it all is the al La carte paleo almond cauliflower buns. I order like 4-5 and save them for later - to make my favorite sandwiches with. but recently I tried something that a game changer for my taste buds - I sprinkled Trader Joe's "everything bagel" seasoning. OMG I felt like I was reunited with one of my loves that I thought i lost forever to allergies lol I I use buns to make low Mercury grade tuna sandwiches with tomatoes and lettuce- sprinkled the seasoning on the inside of buns- wow so good! I've made my own turkey burgers, breakfast sandwiches - etc with it. Anyways you can trust that this place does not skip corners- it's a little pricey, but don't blame them- blame the Real Estate Landlord's ! A lot of restaurants cut corners with cheap unhealthy ingredients to salvage profits from the high cost lid their leases. It's a scary time- but locanut still stands and deserves to do so. The product is not only fulfilling, but beneficial Don't sleep on this place- it's not an inexpensive lunch- but at least treat yourself to it here and there and order extra cauliflower buns to make your fav dishes until next order. Well worth it. But if you can afford it, lucky you! MUST BE NICEEEE lol

This is the second time I ordered food from this place and once again I was disappointed. This time they sent me the Quinoa Veggie bowl without ingredients listed on their menu (carrots and sweet potatoes). They added zucchini instead (I hate zucchini). You are basically paying $14 for quinoa and very little veggies. The food took forever to be delivered both times I ordered here and they are just 2 blocks away from my house. Didn't have patience to complain as I was starving by the time the food arrived.

I've been looking for new healthy spots for weekday takeout (I usually do sweetgreen, little beet, naya, cava, chipotle, or dig inn) and decided to give this spot a try. Delivery was fast. I had the Spasta (spaghetti squash pasta) and turkey meatballs. It was delicious and allegedly healthy. Love how they have the nutritional information on the website too. Def recommend!

Waiting three hours for delivery via grubhub (ordered 12:30pm). Called number listed by Grubhub and spoke with Larry at Locanut at 2:30 he tells me order will be here in 20 minutes. It never arrives an hour later so I call again. He's rude over the phone and tells me he's the manager and continues to put me on hold. Order grubhub frequently but don't recommend this restaurant.

This place is wonderful. We have ordered the wild salmon plate a couple of times. It was great and healthy. The cauliflower mash is incredible, Sometimes the food takes a little longer because they are very busy everything is made fresh. It is one of our new favorite places,

Highly disappointed. Let me just start by stating, I ordered the Free Range Turkey Meatballs with Zucchini "noodles" for $20. I was looking for a delicious, healthy lunch option and came across Locanut. Everything on the menu sounds super healthy and delicious; however, upon receiving my order I noticed the whole dish was swimming in the zucchini liquid (so much that it resembled soup) at the bottom of the container. See photo. Needless to say, that was off-putting. Then, I took a bite and it was just a tasteless mixture of ingredients. I'm not a picky eater and love eating healthy so this was completely upsetting. This is why more people don't try "healthy" eateries because somehow restaurants forget vegetables should be flavorful too. So they are proving those people right. Even more disappointing is that when Seamless contacted the restaurant about my order issue, their response was that "the zucchini noodles have a lot of moisture and that is unavoidable." That response is unacceptable, this is a restaurant that specializes in cooking vegetables and healthy meals. I've made zucchini "noodles" at home before and there's a proper way to make it to avoid this problem. If a restaurant cannot make this properly, don't put this dish on the menu. The only good thing is that this order was on time. But in the end, I felt like I had just wasted my money, time, and I was still hungry! Maybe it was just this dish, but I am hesitant to try anything else there so I won't be ordering again or recommending it.

Great food. Tasted really fresh and came delivered very hot. Good packaging. Very healthy meals and it's nice to find a place that can cook clean with many options

Delicious and very clean ingredients, allergy friendly, good menu with many options. A favorite.

Over 1.5 hours food is still not here. Every time I've called "food has been on its way". Why lie just say you're backed up and apologize.

Just ordered Locanut on Seamless for the first time and it was a delightful experience from start to finish. I ordered the cauliflower risotto with turkey meatballs and my got the zucchini noodles with turkey meatballs. The delivery was correct, on time and had cute little handwritten labels and notes. The person who delivered the food was prompt, pleasant and very put-together. My cauliflower risotto was very coconutty in a good way and I liked that the cauliflower was in bigger chunks rather than shredded. The turkey meatballs had good veggies incorporated inside. My friend LOVED the zucchini noodles as well. Although the price was a little high, $16-18/plate, it was worth it knowing it was quality ingredients and I could definitely see Locanut takes pride in their product!

Tried locanut for the first time on a weekday for lunch through seamless. Not sure why I had never heard of it before, but I was super excited about the healthy options!! I ordered the turkey meatballs, roasted cauliflower, grilled baby artichokes, and a side of paleo pesto. The meal was healthy, fresh, and clean, which was what I was looking for but there definitely could have been more flavor! The food was also lukewarm upon arrival unfortunately. The grilled baby artichokes weren't actually grilled...I think they were canned or dried artichokes hearts. The roasted cauliflower was good. The turkey meatballs with puttanesca were decent but could have been a little more crispy (assuming they weren't pan fried which is fine. Would order from here again but would go with a different order. Would like to try the zoodles, spaghetti squash or cauliflower risotto with grilled chicken or salmon!

I've lived here for 7 years and this was by far the best delivery i've ever had. The salmon burger and lentil soup were both so fresh and amazing! I will be getting this multiple times a week!!

Definitely healthy and fresh. Does it taste good? It's it something I want to finish and the spices feel off like on the sweet potato fries and the mashed cauliflower. I couldnt eat those items. The steak tasted good and clean. For diet days it's a good choice otherwise go elsewhere.

This is by far the worst place I have ever ordered from, and that says a lot. I called both numbers I found for the restaurant to check on my order repeatedly with no answers, it went straight to voicemail. By the time I received the order I was beyond hungry, a turkey burger with the tapioca coconut bun and yucca fries, it legit looked like a 15 year old had made this in their home kitchen and nothing was cooked long enough. Such a disappointment. The yucca fries were hard and the turkey burger wasn't cooked all the way through. I can't even get in touch with them to let them know the issue, so I'm -$25 and starving at work. Thanks Locanut! For nothing. Also the delivery guy had no change! I had said I was paying with cash, I had to scramble together change from my co workers and for what? Literally nothing since I can't even muster the strength to eat this awful meal. Update: hours later I have finally gotten in contact with the restaurant. The manager was extremely rude in telling me that I didn't give them a chance to make it right.. um excuse me I had taken the time to call your restaurant literally about 20 times and each time it was unanswered. I then was told that they would compensate me if I took this review down. Ridiculous and shows you the character of the people running this establishment. I will leave this up because it's still the truth nothing has changed except I now know how rude they are as well.

DELICIOUSLY HEALTHY! Thanks Locanut for offering great HEALTHY eats, giving us a healthy wholesome lunch option as an alternative to the traditional salad. As much as I love salads, there are days where I want something different or perhaps a warm meal on a cold winter day. I opted for the organic coconut cauliflower 'risotto' with organic chicken and although the price tag was a bit hefty, you get a good amount of food! I was only able to eat 1/3 of my plate but the leftovers are great for dinner or for the next day! The cauliflower rice was prepared in a coconut sauce with vegetables and were served in the perfect sized chunks rather than small tiny bits. TWO THUMBS UP for LOCANUT!

Took over 2 hours for my food to arrive. When it finally showed up it was a disgusting mess. My zucchini noodles are drowning in liquid and are bland/ soggy. Absolutely disgusting, disappointing, and overpriced. Will never order from here again.

It's expensive. It's simple, but it's not tasty. If you had some food poisoning, and don't mind no interesting taste, then it's very good. What I can make myself is similar, only faster and tastier, with more interesting presentation, for less.

So. Absolutely. Delicious. In my attempt to eat less carbs and more vegetables, I came across this place and tried their cauliflower risotto with pesto. Everything was fresh, hot and they give you an extra little container of what tastes like homemade pesto on the side (to dip the chicken in of course!). The best part is that you can make 2 meals out of it, which I did by having it for lunch the next day. So heats up well. Just a note, it's not cheap eats, so be prepared to pay for what you get, but considering you get 2 meals out of it, I'd say that's a pretty good deal!

I order from here almost daily and love the food! It's so healthy and I never have to worry about gross ingredients! Amazing customer service and delicious options! The owner seems to care about every little detail and the price point is so reasonable for the quality. Interesting flavors and unique dishes, I highly recommend! I ESPECIALLY LOVE the COOKIES! Soo good!!! I'm so grateful to have a place where I can eat whatever I want without gaining the COVID-19

Im in love! i ordered the jerk meatballs with coleslaw and pesto cauliflower so wonderful, I also ordered a few days ago the chicken picata, mashed cauliflower and roasted artichokes, so darn delicious!! and the delivery is super quick!! i recommended to my co workers and they are in love as well.

THE TALES ARE TRUE! You will receive delightfully bright, flavorful and fresh food but it WILL BE LATE (eta 2:20/30pm, arrived @3pm) and you may even experience rudeness from the delivery guy as I did. Allow me to paint the picture.... at 2:40 pm I called the restaurant to be updated on my order status ( I UNDERSTAND RESTAURANTS MAYBE BACKED UP SO I ALWAYS GIVE A GP BEFORE CALLING). A woman told me it was already out. 5 min later the delivery guy called me (HIS NAME IS JUAN) and informed me he was downstairs and will leave my food with the lobby attendant. I went downstairs immediately and saw no one and no food. I called the restaurant again and a woman called JUAN and told me he already dropped it off. I said well I don't have it so please ensure he is at the right address. She said he will be coming back shortly. He calls me and ask stupid questions and then hangs up on me. WTF DID HE LEAVE MY FOOD! The second time around he called and asked if I was in the lobby. I said no, I can't wait in the lobby, I'm at work, I was awaiting your call and you said you will leave my order in the lobby. He says "well you should be more clear" and hangs up on me. He didn't apologize (the woman on the phone did but she wasn't the problem), he wasn't remorseful. It was almost like me being concerned about my food annoyed him lol. JUAN YOU ARE A DELIVERY GUY! IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE APOLOGIZE AND MOVE ON. Don't take your anger out on customers. Although the food gets a 4 star I will never order here again. I paid for a level of service and my food. Unfortunately, I received my food 30min late along with negative energy and rudeness. I DONT NEED THAT!

I ordered from here because I was craving something with cauliflower that wasn't too bland. Read some reviews and took a shot. I got the cauliflower risotto bowl and wild salmon. OK WOW! I loved it. Did I mention they allow you to chose the amount of salt (a little or a lot) that they put in the dish. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and they was enough that I had some left over for the next day. I'm going to try the spaghetti squash with turkey meatballs next! Can't wait. I'd also like to mention that the restaurant included a "Thank you for ordering from us, stay safe!" Message it was so sweet. Thanks Locanut!

I understand if you need to scrap items from your menu because of covid, but if it's scrapped, take it off your damn delivery menu. Annoying as hell to order and get a call that it's not available. And not only that, the delivery time was completely off. They called me to tell me this 10 minutes after the food was already supposed to be here. Garbage.

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.

I ordered chicken meatballs, the chicken broth, and the paradise salad. While the meatballs were delicious, the broth barely had any flavor. This is coming from someone who prefers food on the less salty side. In addition, the salad is way overpriced for what they give. I ordered the paradise salad, and expected that the beets would be bigger at least. Instead, what I received was a bowl filled with spinach, and only some thin slices of beets and carrots--$12? I live in New York, and have dined at gluten free restaurants. I'm attuned to the overpriced nature of many dishes, but I cannot see how Locanut justifies selling this salad at such a price. I am usually inclined to like healthy spots, but I can not recommend Locanut.

I hope they haven't been open too long because thinking about all the meals I've could have been eating from them instead of the same old Hell's Kitchen places makes me want to cry. It's seriously that good. Everything is healthy, fresh and filled with incredible flavor. They also offer a meal plan for those times in your life when even Blue Apron is too much to handle. The only downside is that they're only open for lunch, but the food is so good and filling that you'll probably have leftovers to enjoy at dinner! Also, the food was delivered on time during peak lunch hour and when I sent an email about the meal plan Bella answered within a half hour even though it was long after closing time. A great addition to the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood!

Ordered takeout while staying at a local hotel. Easy quick delivery of my Paleo meal of Spaghetti Squash and Grass Fed Meatballs. The food was hot when it arrived safely wrapped in paper. The meatballs were very good but the pesto was not that great and tasted a bit bland. But overall a good meal.

The food is absolutely delicious. I am an extremely health conscious consumer and always have problems finding places to eat since I normally only eat organic/grass fed/free range/wild/no refined sugar/etc. It's so nice to see a place have all these options. I ordered the honey dijon glazed wild salmon plate with roasted cauliflower chimichurri and sweet potato cinnamon mash. The salmon was absolutely delicious with just the right amount of honey dijon on it. I also absolutely loved the sweet potato mash. I have had problems with restaurants delivering late around lunchtime. However, Locanut was not only on time... it was early. I was away from my desk at work when it was delivered so I received a phone call letting me know my food is left with the front desk. I am so happy I discovered this place and will definitely be ordering again. Considering getting a meal plan.

My wife and I were excited to try a paleo restaurant. We each ordered a variety of meatballs and noodles (veggie or zoodles). We also ordered a soup, veggie sides, and got a free dessert. The delivery was pretty quick, but I noticed an entree missing after I opened everything up. All the food was bland and pretty flavorless, but at least healthy. I notified GrubHub who notified the restaurant about my missing entree. The store called me to say they weren't going to send a replacement because they were closing soon. Instead they refunded me the amount of my entree and did not offer any other solutions for me. I won't be ordering from them again.

Second time ordering from this place and I'm becoming addicted! Got the "spasta" (squash spaghetti) withb veggies and puttanesca sauce, plus the green veggies seasonal bowl. Everything tastes so fresh and flavorful without any artificial or weird ingredients. Just simple delicious food. 10/10

Spaghetti squash puttanesca with turkey meatballs was fantastic. Huge portion, savory sauce and 4 fairly large meatballs. Took a star off bc it took around an hour to be delivered. Would order again

Tried this for the first time last week and everything I ordered was outstanding. The grassfed burger was juicy, full of flavour and better than any I've had in a restaurant in years. I asked for it medium and it was done perfectly. They packed the onions and tomatoes (which were yummy) separately from the paleo cauliflower bread so the bread didn't get soggy. Went great with the homemade chipotle aioli. Also got the beet and carrot relish, the pesto sauce and the garlic in olive oil - all fantastic and the garlic oil went great with the paleo bread (which is nice, but isn't really good plain). Love the commitment to quality ingredients, non-crappy oils, and how customisable the menu is (you can specify how salty/spicy you want something, and what you want to have on the side).

I had their split-pea soup and it was hearty and delicious. I had both a cookie and cake for dessert, which I split over the next two days. Delicious and guilt-free, I enjoyed a change to a healthy alternative. Highly recommended. Only downside- they are not open late enough.

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!

Picked up lunch from here today and it was a huge disappointment! It's hard for me to eat out because I have a lot of food sensitivities and digestive issues but the fact that this place was gluten free, dairy free, etc was awesome, or so I thought! My turkey burger had TONS of hunks of completely raw garlic and it was inedible. My boyfriend got a side of asparagus and it was rock hard-- it seems like they didn't cook it right nor cut off the woody ends. Everything was too heavily spiced, oily, and heavy too. We both felt sick after eating it. Love the concept but the execution needs A LOT of work.

I order from Locanut every day. Not only do I order lunch, but I ask for an additional meal l (send at the same time) for dinner. It's convenient, delicious and HEALTHY! As a nurse and nutritionist, I value their ingredients, commitment to overall health and most of all, their flavors! The food is not only good for you, but the taste is out of this world! I love the Dijon salmon, kale and mushrooms, spaghetti squash, salads, seabass, zoodles with meatballs...etc. locanut is a god-send for a healthy foodie like me.

The falafel was divine! Fast and friendly delivery! You guys will be seeing me every day!

Great healthy addition to Hell's Kitchen. The food is healthy but still tastes good. Perfect for an easy weeknight dinner or lunch!
