DRIVERS STEAL YOUR FOOD!
December 21, 2019

This is the 2nd time this week that the driver stated they delivered my food and did not even attempt to reach me upon delivery! The drivers STEAL FOOD! Grubhub has horrible business practices by continuing to let drivers take customers food without any repercussions! I will not be using this service ever again and you all need to be out of of business!

No food and no refund
December 21, 2019

I never got my food and I never received a call. I was not refunded my money and was only offered a 50% off on my next order. The delivery driver did not read the instructions on where to go. I was able to watch his failed attempt on security cameras located across the road. I should not have to pay for stupid people's mistakes.

Literally the WORST customer service ever. My account was hacked, someone ordered $200 of pizza in New York and I am in Maryland. I contacted the restaurant and they were extremely helpful, they even called the person who placed the order and said they would not fulfill the order. Yet, when I contacted Grub Hub they said they could not cancel the order and someone would "be in contact about my account getting hacked." They did not say anything about refunding my money, I asked for them to refund immediately and she said she could not do that and someone would be in touch in 2 days. I do not have the money or time to wait 2 days to get $200 back - right before Christmas! When I asked if someone could help me now she said "may I suggest you change your password" OBVIOUSLY. Uber Eats would have had this resolved within minutes, and Grub Hub took several minutes to answer all of my messages. Someone is supposed to be calling me, but still unsure if that is going to happen.

DO NOT use Grubhub
December 20, 2019

DO NOT give your business to grub hub. They billed me twice. Yesterday for my fiid purchase. Today another purchase came from grubhub Taco bell. I didn't order anything from them. I called *******1085, which is Grubhub's contact number. They said it was tax from last night's purchase. I pulled up last nights purchase and read it off to her. So then asked, what's this tax about? She (Argentina - alias name given) put me on hold and came back on the line saying there was nothing they could do about it. I made the promise that I would let the world know about how they double bill. I wish I could attach the screen shots of my order last night along with the transaction receipts for last nights order and the 38 cents they took today - no valid reason to charge me addition tax when I paid my bill through the Grubhub app last night. I also made it clear I'd discontinue my account with Grubhub. No need for them to help on that side, especially since I JUST created the account last night. As an Ubereats driver and Uber driver for passengers, I know and understand this system well. Grubhub is a thief and doing dirty business! Steer clear of them and use someone (Waitr, Ubereats, Doordash) who does and has honest and respectable business ethics and billing.

Worse than Door Dash
December 20, 2019

If you have tried Door Dash and thought their service was declining rapidly, try Grub Hub. It is the worst ever! Delivery times always double and todays was 30-40 minutes was over an hour before the restaurant got the order. Use Uber Eates. They Rock! Postmates is good too, but a little pricey on the food items. Wish I could give Grub Hub negative stars.

Modern slavery
December 19, 2019

Neither of these companies care about customer service and they are actually practicing modern day slavery. They have you working for both companies for only $15 an hour. There are so many flaws in their system that you have to just except the fact that you are scamming people. They have Management that will send people on fun company outings during the times we had shutdowns in NY or heavy call volumes. Doing so sets you up for a very depressing and useless work environment. Ideas that are being brought to their attention are brushed off and their management in the corporate care department will treat you different if you don't kiss butt. They don't handle REAL issues effectively (customer or system complaints). Most of the time in my shift starting off I had no management or leadership to assist me with providing the best customer service and when I took the initiative to ask for coaching I was written up. No yelling, no cursing, just an unhappy customer with a language barrier and I wanted to have a better call. All and All these complaints that I've seen below are all correct and its very disgusting to know that people actually waste their money on these businesses. If you are a corporate client you will be lied to and refunded or receive a re delivery and if you are a consumer then they just treat you like crap. MATT MALONEY IS RUNNING A MODERN DAY SLAVE SHIP AND I'M NOT EVEN SURE HE KNOWS IT IS THE SICK PART

Cold and soggy
December 19, 2019

Within a matter of minutes of ordering and receiving a text about my order I received another one that it would be delayed. By the time they delivered it they woke me up and obviously the food was cold and soggy. I can't find a way to actually write a review on GrubHub. I think the reviews are pretty much falsified. Don't use GrubHub!

I ordered from a restaurant a few blocks away from me. The order had not come after over an hour although it was supposed to be deliver within 30-50 minutes. I contacted grub hub and they said their delivery person tried to deliver the order but could not. They had my correct address and my correct phone number. They never tried to contact me. They never rang the buzzer and NEVER tried to call me. They probably ate my food a=or tossed it somewhere! The restaurant TORIBEi said it was not their problem because they gave the order to the delivery person, so they could not reimburse me. Grubhud said they would refund me 50%! I NEVER got the food and I am supposed to pay 50% of the food I never gotten!?!? What a terrible customer service! I have never seen that before. Caviar would reimburse you no question asked! Shame on them! I should call the police it is stealing from people! What a shame! I am paying money for a meal I never got not for anything I did!

Not only was my delivery 30 minutes later than expected at all the items were delivered missing or two shakes for my children. Driver Said to contact Grubhub to have the items delivered not only would they not deliver the items the refund will take 3 to 5 days. Buyer beware if you don't get the items that you ordered good luck

Never again!
December 18, 2019

Place an order for Togo's through GrubHub. It was suppose to be delivered by 11:45am (mind you this is for a company meeting) 12:15pm. NOTHING so I called Togo's and was informed that the order is still siting there waiting to get picked up! Basically the driver was a no show so the Togo's manager was nice enough to personally delivery it to us himself. No email or text from GrubHub was ever sent explaining what happened.

I put in a order on grubhub, the order was incomplete Taco Bell's error even when I called Taco Bell they said they had nothing to do with the no charge for delivery. Food was cold and extremely late I could have walked there and back and gotten warmer food. Over a half hour late. Charged 2x on delivery. Never again.

Horrible
December 18, 2019

I was five minutes late for my order, so the guy drove away even though his text specified that I had an eight minute window before he would leave. I asked if the guy could bring the food after his next delivery. Grubhub refused and would not refund my money. I mean, for being 5 minutes late?!? I didn't even ask for a refund. I just wanted him to bring back my food. This company doesn't care about customers, and I hope it goes out of business.

Recently after checking my receipt it seemed that the charge for taxes was quite high. I went into my Grub-hub account to look at past orders and found that on every order the secretly doubled( or more) the Delivery Charge. If you go to your receipt where its says taxes and fee's click on the little icon at the end and you will see that they charge the local tax and then an additional fee which they call a "Service Fee" I contacted them and they admitted that they get the Delivery fee and the Service Fee and when I asked what was the Service they said the Delivery! THAT MEANS THEY HIDE THE FACT that they get a higher fee for the "Service Fee" than the "Delivery Fee" What it all boils down too is that they are not honest enough to tell you they are taking more than double the Delivery fee each time you use them... Looks like at the least they are sly crooks and at the worst they are FRAUDULENT. Check your past history look at what they charge for tax and then calculate your tax it will be far less than what they charged your card or PayPal. Call and ask why don't you just say what you take out of my pocket for delivering the food? Just take a look at my receipt shows delivery charge and service charge... what do yours say when you look? Did they triple the "Taxes" charge or does yours now say Service Fee after I filed a complaint? Be an intelligent consumer don't get ripped off!

I ordered from a restaurant through Grubhub. The price listed on Grubhub is more expensive than the menu price already and there are already delivery fees/service fees etc. so the default tipping (20%) means I need to pay double for the meal than I go to the restaurant. So I decided to only tip 5%. Then, the delivery takes 2 hours. Literally enough time for me to walk there and get the food back. Avoid Grubhub as it is really not worth it.

Seems every other time I try to use this stupid app it tells me all the restaurants are closed, really? Since when does Taco Bell close at 7pm EST?!? I don't know who wrote their app but they need to fire him along with the rest of their IT department as this app is costing them money. And when you add in that they raise the price of the food you order, charge for delivery and you have to tip driver, well I can get two meals for what one costs.

I've been using GrubHub for years. I never had an issue, until recently. I placed an order and it was incomplete. I tried to contact the restaurant and there was no answer. I called Grub Hub customer service and they offered to refund the food item. I was told that I should replace the order for the missing item, but I had to pay service fee, delivery fee and tip again. Grub Hub refused to refund those fees or contact the restaurant to attempt to replace missing item.
