When you’re hungry, time matters. No one wants to watch the delivery tracker bounce all over the map while their food gets colder by the minute. That’s where local delivery wins—every time.
The Reality of National Delivery Apps
Services like DoorDash and Uber Eats are convenient, but their average delivery times typically range from 30 to 45 minutes, and often longer during lunch rushes, dinner hours, or bad weather. Why?
Drivers may start miles away from the restaurant
Orders are frequently stacked with multiple stops
Delivery zones can stretch 10–15+ miles
Drivers may not be familiar with local shortcuts or traffic patterns
The result?
A delivery window that’s more of a guess than a promise.
The Hoke Delivery Difference 🚗💨
At Hoke Delivery + Main Street Grill, we’ve built our service around one simple idea:
Fast, reliable, local delivery—every time.
Here’s how we do it:
✅ Guaranteed delivery in 30 minutes or less
📍 All drivers start in downtown Raeford
📏 Strict 6-mile delivery radius
🍽️ Direct partnership with Main Street Grill
🛣️ Drivers who know Raeford streets, traffic patterns, and neighborhoods
No zig-zagging across town.
No mystery stops.

Why Point of Origin Matters
Because our drivers always originate from downtown Raeford, your order isn’t competing with deliveries from other towns or far-off restaurants. That means:
Faster pickup times
Shorter delivery routes
Consistent arrival windows
It’s a local system designed for local customers.
