“Your Go-To Food Delivery Service”

Rekhmir S.
4/2/24

Grubhub is my go-to food delivery service, offering a wide variety of cuisines from local restaurants. Whether I'm ordering lunch for the office or dinner for the family, Grubhub makes it easy to satisfy everyone's cravings. I appreciate the user-friendly app interface, as well as the real-time tracking of my order and estimated delivery time. Grubhub has become an essential part of my busy lifestyle

Top Critical Review

“Fees increase after delivery”

Cay C.
9/28/24

Check your receipts. Past month Grubhub has been increasing service fee after order delivered when charge posts to account. Food price, tax and tip stay same, but their service fee increases. For example when orders placed fee $4. Final charge then $4.80. How is this not illegal? Beware!

I have used this service out of pure necessity many times. My food has been said to be delivered and it wasn't. Once a driver became angry with me when he said it was delivered I told him no it wasn't so he brought back the bag and said a dog must've gotten it, he slammed it on my porch and was hateful and rude and my son and I were left with no food. I could understand this happening once or even twice but to happen so many times I can't count?! I called a couple times to complain and the lady was talking and I heard a rooster in the background! Am I in the twilight zone? And they don't refund your $ immediately which is VERY INCONVENIENT! I'm poor! It has made me so mad I've had seizures! They don't care! They won't compensate either. They say they'll give you $5 off your next order but who wants to go through that again? VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. They can't even transfer a call to refund department! What can they do right? DOOR DASH IS BEST! I'm a disabled mom of an autistic child so this is EXTREMELY WRONG! SHAME ON YOU GRUBHUB!

Tip for consumers:
USE DOOR DASH INSTEAD!!!!! Save yourself the stress!

Ordered $55.30 worth of food tonight from A restaurant and had grub hub deliver it. The order was placed at 6:50 pm and didn't get here until 8:35pm.

It was missing 2 complete dinners I ordered for my 2 young grand children. I called them and told them and was told to call the restaurant. I called the restaurant and they informed me to call grub hub back so I did and was told by grub hub to order the items I was missing again and they would refund the cost of the second order.

Well I wasn't refunded and did not get my second order I paid for because the driver refused to go get it. They cancelled my order and my grand children were left here waiting for food that was never coming. No one called to tell me the order was cancelled either!

I called the restaurant only to be told it was closed. I called grub hub back and was given a code for 25 dollars to use grub hub again! I want my money back! How do I get the money back? I have been on the phone with both places for hours now and it is 10:53pm.

No food and no money back, 2 very hungry sleepy kids and only given coupon codes to use grub hub again. I do not wish to do business with Grub hub ever again! I don't want the codes they have been giving me, I want my money back. They refuse to give it back. Even after 14 phone calls and emails, no satisfactory service.

My 20th Anniversary my husband and I are on lockdown because of COVID-19. After they charged my credit card $109.00, they called me an HOUR later and LIED to me saying order was cancelled because restaurant card machine wasn't working. Contacted restaurant and machine was fine... order was never received! Now I have to wait five days for credit card to be credited back. MY ANNIVERSARY WAS RUINED! I wouldn't let my worst enemy use this app!

I am hangry and I can't go to sleep with my growling belly without formally listing a complaint. My husband and I ordered Thai food over TWO HOURS AGO. One of us could have sacrificed ourselves to pick it up but we are tired and parents of a baby so we called on your company's services and I have NEVER regretted something so much in my whole life. The driver was incapable of finding our residence AFTER getting detailed instructions from my husband AND myself. When I called her to see where she was she told me "I am going to put it in my Google maps now." WHAT!?!?!?!?! You have been aimlessly driving around without our address being in some sort of navigating device!?!?!? I didn't say that (as I said, I am hangry). Instead I said, "Please call us back if you cannot find us and I will drive to you to get our food. But you know what she did... SHE DESERTED US. We have been waiting so long that the restaurant is closing for the night. We have no food and it is all because this driver lacked problem solving skills. When my husband called to report this, the representative who was not much help simply offered a refund... Are you KIDDING!?! We are HUNGRY. This is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. We will NEVER EVER use your service again. I will scream at the rooftops my negative review of your service... or lack there of. Sincerely a HUNGRY TIRED NEW MOM.

First and last tine I'll ever be using this "service," if you could even call it that. I'm unsure how this company is stil even in business.

The order was due to be delivered by a certain time, but doesnt come. Call to confirm the order went out, and I was told by the restaurant that it did. I recieved a text message that said the driver would be here 20 minutes after the original delivery time and would text when the order was delivered. I was already agitated, especially with a hungry 2 year old. I check the delivery tracker and it says my order has been delivered at my dooe, which it definitely has not. The 20 minutes-past-original-delivery-time comes and goes and I call the restaurant and they inform me that I need to call grub hub, as once they leave with the order there no way they can track the order anymore.

First off. I had to dig to find the customer service number and the lady was no help, just said she'd call the driver and he didn't answer. At this point it was 35 minutes past and all she said was that she would refund and cancel the order and I could reorder. WHAT A JOKE! I had already waited over and hour and 15 minutes by then. NEVER AGAIN. Crap company, with crap customer service, who's drivers run off with your food and still have jobs.

I HAD AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE WITH GRUBHUB. I will never use Grubhub again. I ordered my food and they took their money out of my account. The order said it was delivered and I never received anything, so I called the restaurant and they said they gave it to the driver. I said okay, I'll contact grubhub to say I never got it. I understand things happen. Grubhub said there is nothing they could do because they called me once, and I did not answer because I was not familiar with the number. They left no voicemail and then I guess that was their way of attempting delivery, even though no one rang my doorbell, came to my driveway or tried to call again or text or even leave a voicemail. I totally understand if things happen, but grubhub didn't even attempt to refund me and told me the only thing they could do was give me 50% off my next grubhub purchase, no refund and the only thing they said was they were "deeply sorry". Again, I am totally sympathetic to mistakes and all that but I got no food, 40 dollars taken out of my account and 50% off my next purchase that i won't even use. Therefore i will never use this service again. Thank you Grubhub for the horrible experience.

I ordered dinner at 7:56pm. The last message I received from the driver was that the food would arrive between 8:35-8:45pm. I waited for the food, instead of going to the supermarket. At 9:45pm, I contacted Grubhub to find out what happened. The driver listed on the website that the food was delivered, but he/she NEVER ARRIVED. The company agreed to return my money, BUT FOOD DOESN'T JUST DISAPPEAR!. The worst part about is that the supermarkets and most restaurants were closed BY 9:00pm due to Covid19. I guess Grubhub wanted me to go to bed hungry! Signed not impressed!

Iwanted to order chicken from POLLOS MARIO in Jackson Heights Queens NY.
I thought was calling the restaurant directy, instead I dialed Grub Hub. I gave the girl the order. 1 whole chicken cut in four pieces, large rice and large salad. She proceeded to order white rice with salad french fries and no chicken. I took the order without checking because I trusted the restaurant. When I checked it, it was al wrong. I called Grub hub and 5 customer service and 3 supervisors later, no one could give me my money back or pay for my missing chicken. The restaurant was useless and unproffesional and so was everybody at Grub hub. The worst customer service experience of my life. The reps speak brken english, they sound like they are working from home, and they will not help you. I do not recommend these people.
They will screw up our order, appologize but you will not get your money back unless you reverse the charges on your credit card. NEVER, NEVER ORDER TO PAY IN CASH.

THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE DESKTOP SUPPORT TEAM. So I placed my order, unbeknownst to me that I wasn't placing it directly with the restaurant. Anyway, I signed up and filled out all the required/applicable information--including my FULL address. I capitalize 'full' because I live in an apartment. (Keep in mind that I'm at work, ordering this food for my husband and child who are both home.) I fulfill the order and was satisfied that it all looked great. I go to my meeting that lasted an hour and get back to my desk with my personal cell phone and find 10 missed calls and 2 texts. (I give them credit for trying to reach out to me.) The food ended up not being delivered because there was no apartment number attached to my address. I quickly jump online and go to my settings--apartment number is missing. I then edit my address and submit with the apartment number and save---apartment number is missing once again. I then try alternative methods of adding the number to my address. Meanwhile the eat 24 rep is telling me that the driver is back at the restaurant with the food. They can go out and re-deliver, but the food is cold. Ummm, no thanks. DESKTOP IS TEAM--get on it--this is not OK

Today was the first time I used a food delivery service and it was a pretty unpleasant experience. The lunch was supposed to be delivered at 11:30 but I got a text at 11:11 saying they were getting a tire fixed and would then go pick up my order. Things happen so that didn't bother me and I appreciated the text. At 11:30 I texted and asked the status and was told that they were on the way to pick up the food that had been ready since 11:00ish and would be right over. I got a phone call from our showroom at 11:55 by one of my fellow workers asking if I was expecting a food delivery which I confirmed that I was and asked that they send them to my office. About 10 minutes later I called the showroom asking if they had told them where to go and was told that they decided to pick up a couple of things while they were here and then would be heading my way. THEY WERE SHOPPING! I finally got my food that was prepared at least an hour before and when they delivered it the girl didn't seem concerned in the least. If I hadn't already put a tip on the card when I ordered the food I sure wouldn't have given them one.
