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

“WHERE'S MY FOOD?”

7/6/24

We have used Grubhub quite often, but since they teamed up with Amazon no food gets delivered 3 times. Credit card was charged 3 times. Restaurant never got the order. I can't show proof of purchase because it was never delivered.

Order was delivered 1 hour early. The order was for 2 people and $144. Customer help would not acknowledge and when I sent them the receipt that was proof of delivery time they said it was not attached on e mail properly whatever that means.

Avoid GRUBHUB if possible.

Tip for consumers:
Customer help is a joke

What a great offer I thought from Lyft... Grubhub discounts included. SO WRONG. Vacationing in Hawaii, and ordered dessert for my daughter after a long day out. Another wrong move. What was to be 20 minutes, turned into 1.5 hours. Driver did come in without signaling she had arrove. Took picture of dessert, looked around, and then took the dessert with her. Minutes later sending me text that she had delivered it. Customer service is not a thing for Grubhub. Needless to say, this shady driver will continue to do this to others to come, as they could care less when reported. And to see my 1 star matches all others reviews, seals the deal.

I'm going to try them again because I "found out" on my own, they deliver from one of the best private owned pizza houses in the area. They didn't tell me, for weeks I poured over Dominos and Subway and other " food/cardboard" franchises. Let's see what happens. This Company Is Hated Amongst New Bedford Business Owners.

Terrible customer service, delivery drivers constantly not reading the delivery instructions OR the sign I have on the door of the enclosed porch!? I mean this is ridiculous. We should be able to contact you with our issues and the inquiry be settled. Settled meaning both parties meet or have an understanding that allows us to feel heard and cared for. Which is not AT ALL how you are handling things. Esp because I can tell your agents are now scripted (I know this because I spoke to three dif agents) (oh, and not to mention I see the same complaints and the SAME verbiage used with OTHER customers that write reviews- so it's 100% Bull.

I ordered pizza hut on 6/5/24@5:29:55PM through grubhub Amazon prime to be told it would be here no later than 6:08. Then I got another text message stating that no later than 6:44. Then I hit the track button when it still wasn't here and it said it would be delivered by 7:14. Once we finally got the order the pizza was ice cold. I also found out that GrubHub charges more than what Pizza Hut charges plus they may deliver for free but they are charging a service fee as well as automatically add a 20% tip that you can change. So excluding the tip GrubHub charged me $36.77 where had I picked it up from Pizza Hut it would have cost me $26.75 so there is a $10.02 difference. Pictures included. Horrible!

This was to be the first order I have ever made with this company. I never got an email about my order.

I was wondering where my order was so I looked on the site and saw that it had been canceled without any notice.

I contacted via chat and I was told that my account was blocked for some reason though he couldn't tell me why. He said someone would get in contact with me in 24-48 hours. I told him no need because I will never try this group again. Door dash it is

I accidentally ordered to the wrong address. I caught the error right after I made it. With no phone number to call, I was forced to have to interact with Grubhub through online chat. When I gave the correct address, I was told it was too far away. I then asked that my Visa card be refunded. I was told several times that they do refunds. Only Grubhub credits!. Thanks for the great first impression experience Grubhub. I should have read the reviews first. After I use this credit up, Never Again! Very bad business practice.

There is no customer service even though they claim there is once your order is complete you Cannot get any help from anybody -- they just keep sending you to their help page, which has no help on it, Naturally. Just a lot of useless articles and no way to reach them. Initially I had a chat feature but that disappeared evidently because the order is complete. They ripped me off by charging me 25% tip without my permission. I was never an option for a tip and I never in 10 million years would've picked 25%. I always tip 20% and they have a lot of nerve defaulting to 25 and then not even showing me the field. Total and complete rip off I would never use them ever again because there's no way of reaching them when they have ripped you off. Not to mention that the restaurant did not get the extra message I sent asking for gluten-free soy sauce so it ruined my meal and I was vastly overcharged. Supposedly this was free via Amazon and indeed I was not charged a delivery charge but there were so many extra charges it ended up costing me an additional $10 above the price of the actual dish. And that includes the four dollar tip I did not approve. I would never ever use them again and I suggest you do not either.

Tip for consumers:
GrubHub is deliberately a scam and I would stay far far away

Products used:
I ordered food through GrubHub for the first time and they ripped me off enormously. A $14 dish ended up being $24 even though I have free delivery through Amazon. This is partly because they arbitrarily tipped the driver 25% without my permission. I was never shown a place to add a tip and evidently they defaulted it to 25%. That is completely totally outrageous and means that I will never use their services ever again. In fact, the restaurant did not even get the special message I added indicating I required a gluten-free substitute for their dressing. A total disaster a total waste of $24 and never again will I use GrubHub For any purpose whatsoever. This is another one of those big tech companies that should be put out of business.

Could not 'process' order unless I turned-off my adblocker. How does that have anything to do with having food delivered? Just another money-'grubbing' scheme to monetize and sell information to entities trying to convince me I did not know what I was missing by not buying their DRECK! I have lots of money! None for you. TTFN.

Restaurants no longer offer delivery. The upcharges on Grubhub and other deliveries are much too high. What once was a treat has become inaccessible to people who care about not wasting huge amounts of money on delivery fees. I don't feel right skipping tip, so I just don't order. See cart pricing. OUCH.

Tip for consumers:
Why do they add all of these fees? If you have to pay fees, there shouldn't be a tip expected. If you skimp a driver a tip you will get bad service, so my hands are tied. Restaurants providing their own delivery service was at least a little less than these vendors. I am sad, but I cannot afford their food anymore if it costs this much for a delivery.

Products used:
I cannot afford all of the upcharges and then adding a 20% tip. Grubhub made ordering pizza from my favorite pizza restaurant totally unaffordable. I am so sad. I miss getting pizza delivery, but rates charged by other delivery services are also similarly overcharged like Grubhub is.

Grubhub delivery offers the convenience of ordering from a wide selection of restaurants and cuisines without leaving home. On the positive side, Grubhub provides extensive restaurant options and quick delivery services, often delivering orders within the estimated timeframe. Additionally, their app interface is user-friendly, making it easy to browse menus and place orders. However, there are areas for improvement. The accuracy of orders and food quality upon delivery can be inconsistent, with some orders not meeting the same standards as dine-in experiences. Furthermore, customer service responsiveness can vary, with some inquiries receiving prompt attention while others face delays. Overall, while Grubhub offers convenience and variety, enhancements in order accuracy and customer service would further enhance the delivery experience.

I made the mistake of using Grub Hub again. Every time I do, the delivery time changes several times. After the third time change I called customer service. She apologized and said if the food arrives cold the total order would be refunded. The order was 90 minutes late, of course it was cold. The soup was spilled and it looked like my meal had been picked through. When I called to collect my refund, I was told they could not refund. They offered a $10 credit on my next order. Holy crap! Really? $10 of of an over priced, cold, late meal? I am good. Grub Hub is horrible and their customer service is even worse.

Placed an order from George's Pizza. Got an estimated delivery date by 8:30. Three delays later and the food is still not here. I called the restaurant and asked if I could come pick it up. They said sure. My partner went to get the food, while I "chatted" with the help on the app. They canceled the order AFTER I told them my parter was picking up the food! They also claim, on the app, the restaurant is now closed, which is a lie! Clifford, the "chat representative" then closed out the chat on me. 🤬 Don't use GrubHub. They aren't worth it.

Driver completely ignored important delivery instructions and had dumped my BD, Dinner-In-A- bag outside on the edge of a small, unprotected and shared deck. Hot food left outside at dusk, in the winter is bad enough. Ignoring Disabled homeowners instructions to "Push doorbell upon arrival. Please do not leave bag!
Inexcusable. My neighbors must have returned from Synagogue just after my order was supposedly delivered. A total of 4 adults w/6 children (4 infants in 2-Double Strollers) navigating a 13' x 12" x 3" shared condo deck from a broken brick pathway cd have easily not seen a small bag dumped on the deck. It's inexcusable that Driver couldn't be bothered to read & follow simple instructions. No one but the customer is expected to assume responsibility for anything.

The jerk that delivered my "splurge pizza night," left my $40 pizza on the front porch in 35 degree weather. They didn't call, text or even knock and run. I found it when I locked the front door on my way to bed. I called grub hub to complain and get a refund the the $10+ fees they charged me, after. 14-minute call, I was told the best they can do is give me credit. LOL! As if I would ever use them again! Hysterical. I hung up on the lady, who was from another country. Can't deliver a pizza or hire people in their own country! Never again. The picture below just shows the pizza charge, I paid $38.88, so they ripped me off by $12.82. Jerks.

Grubhub sucks. Their app is not interactive. It took an hour to get a delivery that I would normally pick up from the same restaurant in less than 15 minutes. Also, they do not give you all of the menu options, so I was forced to pay for a dinner priced meal instead of the lunch specials this restaurant offers. On top of that, I ordered from a mexican restaurant and I did not get the chips and salsa that always comes with my to go orders I pick up myself. I called and verified with the restaurant, and because it was a Grubhub order, they do not provide the chips and salsa without paying extra for them. TOTAL SCAM. So I now paid a tip, delivery fee, service fee and had to pay for dinner pricing (portions are the same for lunch and dinner offerings) and ended up with less food. Ridiculous. Not sure how Grubhub is still in business. I only delivered because my car is being serviced and I was without a car at this time.

I got a year free delivery charges through my credit card.

I still got charged and had to chat with customer service in another country, and keep repeating myself. It was painful.

Each delivery, I ask the driver to ring the door bell for a tip; to avoid them leaving my food on the ground. They still leave it on the ground and don't ring the bell.

I just happen to look out to find cold food.

I'm using Postmates and Uber Eats once my free subscription ends.

This is too ghetto for me to spend the type of money that I spend!

Great site for all types of take out and delivery places. Gives discounts to frequent users on top of the discounts that one may get from the restaurant, which I find financially endearing. Also they have a very easy to use chat service which is online 24/7, to help check up on orders that are late or whatever else you may need help with. You can store credit card info, etc, making ordering in very simple. I sometimes put the order in from my droid and then it's there minutes after I arrive. Great stuff.

Fast, friendly & cheap delivery fees.
Kinda hard to mess this up if you ask me.

After reading some of the reviews, I see people have complained about the food, and it's presentation. Takeout is not known to be beautifully plated... it's usually shoved in a box.
They've also complained about the service... this persons job is to pick up the food from said restaurant & drive it to you.

My suggestion if you want 5 star service is to unearth yourself from the rock you've been hiding under since April and go get your own food!

Grubhub is great. Glad it's available for tired moms like me! Thanks grub hub!

Inferior restaurants, iffy payment processing (sometimes PayPal and credit card payments work flawlessly, other times they don't work at all), way off delivery times (food arrives way sooner or way later than estimated delivery.) Now I know most people probably wont complain about an earlier than expected delivery, but sometimes this too can be annoying. Imagine being told that you have around 35-45 minutes before your order arrives, so you decide to hop in the shower, maybe shave and get dressed, only to end up with an angry delivery person on your doorstep threatening to take the food back to the restaurant when they arrived away ahead of the expected delivery time. The other extreme is waiting for what feels like hours for food from a restaurant that you could have walked to and back from multiple times. A restaurant that is never very busy and is presently in a slow period when you place your order. These are just a few areas where Grubhub needs to improve.

I've been ordering food from this site for the past year, and I have never had a single complaint with their service. With more than 40 orders made, I think that is significant.

On the rare occasion that a restaurant makes a mistake or is slow to deliver, Eat24 customer service has resolved the problems quickly and to my satisfaction. I have never encountered anyone rude or dismissive. They are quick, friendly, and helpful.

Additionally, they constantly offer coupons via email or on Facebook, so I often save a couple bucks, allowing me to offer a bigger tip to the delivery person. I'm very pleased and will continue to use their service to find a number of local restaurants that offer convenient delivery to my work and home.

When GrubHub online offer didn't go thru, Simmarons gave us the number to call and complain. When site automatically placed pick up order instead of Delivery, Simmarons fixed it immediately. When we called to say we didn't get our food via Delivery, they told us why and delivered to us VERY quickly. Nice phone manners. Great wings! Cheese steak pretty good. Will order again but not thru Grub Hub ever again. This restaurant should separate from Grub hub marketing.

They are still advertising for a restaurant that has stopped doing business with them. I put an order in for the restaurant. Thank goodness I call them to get my extra stuff to be charged. The restaurant told me they were not working with GrubHub anymore. So could you imagine if I had just waited for the forty -five minutes before I called. It would of been a whole hour and a half maybe two before I would of spoken to anyone. So now I have to wait three to five business days before I can get my money back and nothing to eat either.
