“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!

GrubHub is not the worst delivery I have ever gotten. But it's far from the best. Most of the time if, I order just a combo of this or that from some restaurant. You can do just fine using GrubHub. It's when you start to add on the small stuff that things start to get messed up. Like today I ordered from KFC and in that order, I was 1 Crispy Colonel Combo Extra Crispy, w/ Cole Slaw, Iced Tea
1 Mashed Potatoes & Gravy
1 Mac & Cheese
2 Honey Mustard Sauce

Well, when I got my order there was no Honey Mustard Sauce and instead of an iced tea, they sent me what tastes like a Coke could have been Pepsi.

Well, when I sent a text to the delivery driver and asked if she had checked my order because my Honey Mustard Sauce was missing and that they had given her a soda, not ice tea. The delivery driver replayed sorry about that. They don't allow us to check the orders. But I did ask if they had gotten everything.

Now I would like to know-how in the world large companies like GrubHub would not allow an order to be checked before they make the delivery. It only makes sense that they would have their drivers check the order to make sure the order is correct. So that their customers are pleased with their service and would be willing to order from them again.

At least I can say that when I call GrubHub customer service, they did give me a refund of my order for almost half do to the fact that my ice tea was part of a combo meal. But they should still allow for the orders to be checked before they leave the restaurant.

I ordered a salad and shake. Nothing else. I ordered it at 8:03 pm and Grub Hub said that it would arrive from 8:55-9:05 pm. I waited and waited. 9:13 I check the status and the delivery time has changed. It changes to 9:20 - 9:30pm. I'm blown away that I have to wait and hour and a half for a salad and milkshake. So then I start chatting with a grub hub representative online. I explain how frustrated I am and they say I can cancel my order and get a refund in 5 days. While I'm talking online to this representative, my delivery driver calls me and says that the restaurant doesn't have the shake I ordered... I change my order to something else and wait for my food to arrive at 9:35. I paid 17+ dollars for a wilted salad and milkshake I didn't want in the first place. Forget Grub Hub. It seems great to have food delivered even if the charge is a bit ridiculous, but they suck. No communication, no refunds if the screw it up majorly and last time I ordered I got food poisoning and demanded a refund for the undercooked burger I received. What did I get?... no refunds. Wow.

TWICE in a row I was shorted items in my order from GrubHub restaurants. GrubHub offered me a FREE DISCOUNT. It is NOT a FREE discount if I have already paid for a menu item + tax + gratuity on FOOD I DID NOT RECEIVE! GrubHub was simply trying to scam me, as did the restaurant. I already PAID for food I did not receive... a discount on my next order is NOT a discount if I ALREADY PAID FOR IT. Give me my money back for dinners I paid for and did NOT receive! GrubHub does NOT care about the customer.

They are incredibly stingy with coupons and it is impossible to go back and review restuarants at your leisure. If you dont do it when they ask you, the oppurtunity vanishes.

Tip for consumers:
Eat24 has better deals but even worse customer service.

Besides my order arriving cold and no cheese on my chesseburgers, I spent 54.00 on an order from Wendy's and they refunded 6.71. Stick to Uber eats from now on.

NEVER USE! I would do a 0 rating if I had the choice! They have the WORST customer service I have. EVER encountered! The "manager" said he didn't know what was going on. They had no clue.

My bf and I tried to use grubhub for the first time last night. The driver Jerry was rude from the start. He was on the wrong road, he was on Rd and not Dr. My bf gave him exact directions to get here. My bf was waiting with the door open, Jerry calls back and said he still can't find us and once again my bf told him directions, he was literally 3 min away. Jerry hung up on him both times. My bf checks the computer while waiting and noticed it said delivered. My bf calls Jerry, said he noticed it said delivered but we hadn't got our food. Jerry said he went to an apartment and gave it to someone claiming it was theirs. So not only did Jerry not use his GPS to find us or listen to my bf give him exact directions, he wasn't even on the right road and just gave our food to the wrong people. I immediately called customer service and the first girl tried saying we wouldn't get a refund. I then demanded a supervisor. He gets on the phone, tried defending the driver at first and I said, excuse me?! He's a lousy driver and wasn't even on the right road and made sure it was in fact the right person! They should ask for proof first. We got our refund after arguing and an hour later had to drive to get food and we're starving at this point. Will never use this service again.

Grubhub is a? Scam. I received a grubhub gift card from my colleagues when I was out from having surgery. I have been trying to use my gift card for sometime now, but it keeps asking for either my credit card or debit card
Which I am most certainly not going to give them. All I want to do is use the funds that was paid to them by my colleagues and be done with them. I give their customer service a call and was informed the no o e can redeem their paid gift card without first providing Grubhub with their credit or debit card information. I told that twit on a girl and that asinine of a supervisor it would be a cold day in Hell before I would provide their dishonest company with my financial I formation to redeem a grift card that was already paid for. Than I asked for a refund, which they refused. So I requested that my case be escalated above the idiotic supervisor and I plan to speak with an attorney as I know this cannot be legal: you purchase a grift card, but cannot redeem it unless you provide the company with your financial information to either you credit or debit card. Is that crazy or what! What I big scam! I loan to ensure the red d me the money from myy gift card or allow me to redeem it without demanding my financial I formation. Don't ever use the Grubhub company they are nothing but crooks!

Tonight was my first time using Grubhub and I regret it. I placed my order at 948pm tonight. The eta was around 1010-1020, initially. Then, it got pushed back to 1110-1130. An hour and a half for my food? Seriously? I called the restaurant, they said my food has been ready for 20 minutes. The employee also stated that another order was placed after mine and a Grubhub driver picked up that order. I know why no one picked up my order - I didn't leave a tip on my order - however, I've been a server for 10+ years and I was going to give the driver cash and not get taxed on my credit card tip. I called Grubhub customer support and they were only going to give me a 10% discount on my next order. MY NEXT ORDER? They wouldn't even refund me my money that I just spent on a meal that would be cold and old, until I asked for a manager. The manager cancelled my order, refunded my money (which takes 5-10 business days), and gave me a $10 coupon towards my next order. Let's just say, I won't be ordering from them again. If you are that obsessed with credit card tips, you don't need to be a food deliverer. My total was $18 and I was going to tip $6 cash. So, I'll take my business elsewhere.

I'm boycotting this business because their CEO is has asked Trump supporters to resign and I never liked there service very much anyway. Plenty of non political food delivery businesses in my area.

Don't use Grubhub. Just call the restaurant directly to place your order. I placed an order with GrubHub 2.5 hours ago for delivery. I searched specifically for delivery and found this restaurant. Estimated wait time was 1 hour. At the 1.5 hour mark, a message was sent to my phone stating that the driver was on his way with the food. At the 2 hour mark the food still hadn't arrived. At that time we called the restaurant who told us that they don't deliver, and that Grubhub was supposed to arrange for the delivery but that the driver never came. The food had just been sitting there for 2 hours. It was at that time that I also received an email from Grubhub telling me that my order had been cancelled. They cancelled my order 2 after 2 hours of waiting. We online chatted Grubhub to get an explanation, and they provided no explanation, only repeated over and over again, "Unfortunately at this point the driver was not able to pick up the order and the order was canceled." I called Grubhub and they confirmed that they were supposed to arrange for the delivery but again they were unable to explain why the delivery never happened. This is also the second time this has happened to us. Now I have a gift of $15 Grubhub dollars to use for my next order which will never happen because I would never order from a place that can't actually deliver food.

GrubHub apps do not give dependable Restaurant information- grubHub keeps saying that particular restaurants are closed when in fact they are not- I guess the drivers just don't wanna go there.

My experience using Grubhub last night was the last straw. After multiple attempts to communicate, I received an email this morning saying I received a credit of $1.49 on an order that totaled $70.97... are you joking?

A credit of $1.49 does not even come close to remedying the inconvenience that I had to deal with last night. I had an entire family waiting for food and did not receive a single notification of my food not being delivered. Not only was it completely unprofessional and the worst customer service I have ever experienced, but I wasn't able to feed my family until 10pm because I had to go pick up the food myself from the restaurant, which ended up being completely cold.

The restaurant also mentioned that although my order was the first to come in, multiple orders via Grubhub placed after mine were picked up before my order. That is completely absurd and unacceptable. It wasn't until I had to contact customer service did they reply with such a condescending response and tone but they also said they would call me in 10 minutes from our call if a driver was not going to pick up our order but the representative never called me back. I had to make ANOTHER call only to be replied by another rude customer service representative. I really do not understand how customer service can be so bad. I have never experience anything like that before.

This entire ordeal has been nightmarish and I can ensure you that I will be very vocal about my experience to all of my friends and family. If you're using Grubhub, you need to pivot to another food delivery service because Grubhub is the absolute WORST.
