Horrific experience
November 8, 2019

Never trying this horrible service. Literally added an hour and a half to my order with no empathy with the customer rep whatsoever. Never using this piece of s. Service ever. Will not recommend to friends and family. In fact, I'll make sure they delete the app.

They Suck!
November 8, 2019

My hubby ordered food tonight from KFC and they canceled the order 2 1/2 hours AFTER the order was SUPPOSED TO BE HERE! Oh and all they can do for him is a 10% off coupon! Rude AF! Really?

Worst customer service I have ever experienced. Placed an order for almost $100.00, recieved an email order was cancelled, called to speak with a rep who couldn't find our order who then hung up on me. We then get an email stating we will recieve a refund in 5-10 days with no explanation as to why our order was cancelled. So we ordered through Door dash and had no issues.

Placed an order for my son at college. 30 minutes turned into an hour, turned into 2 hours. Frustrated I called to cancel and try refused since food was "being prepared". I called the restaurant, they told me food was ready an hour ago but no driver came to pick it up. Restaurant says they made it, i pay for it. Two hours later, no food, no refund, no way I'm doing this again!

GRUBHUB SUCKS
November 7, 2019

I'll NEVER EVER ORDER THRU THEM AGAIN! Not only did the order take forever to get her, when it finally came the whole order was a mess. Called Grub Hub and was told I couldn't get a refund, so I'm or $17.00, it's bull crap. They said on my next order is get 200% off, I'll NEVER order thru Grub Hub again! DOORDASH at least has pretty good service and if the order is wrong, they'll refund your money. Grub Hub isn't going to be in business very long if they keep it up. I'd starve before I'd order thru them again! Robin Davis

Worst service EVER! I ordered KFC delivery which uses GrubHub. Ordered at 4pm and at 6pm, no delivery yet so i called the 888 number. They said it will be another hour which would be 7pm. At 8pm, no delivery so i called 888 number again. They said it will be another 1/2 hour which would be 7:30pm. At 9:00pm i called and cancelled the order. Drove to my local KFC and they didn't have any chicken left. It took 5 hours and no delivery... 2 days and my credit card still has not been credited.

Waited over an hour on two separate occasions and food was never delivered. I was using a gift card and requested to please be refunded in cash after the second instance, but now I am stuck with gift cards to a service that I cannot depend on.

Website horrible design
November 5, 2019

Well, working in a 1 person office today so REPEATED a previously saved order that i had DELIVERED. After 1 hour i call them, oh the order was placed for pickup. Apprarantely website now DEFAULTS to pickup. Even if i was going out, whats the point of ordering through them to pickup at a subway when i could have just called the restaurant directly? And first call to the 800 # was just told "oh they don't deliver"

Two thumbs down!
November 4, 2019

Our first time using Grubhub and it was a huge disappointment. Half our order was missing and instead of making it right and bringing us the items we ordered and did not get they said they would refund us what we paid for those items and to watch for it in five days. Totally unacceptable, extremely poor service.

Worse service ever! My order was sitting at the restaurant for over 1 and a half and they could not give me a time when the driver could pick it up. They would not offer a refund. Never ordering from this place again! Get your act together Grubhub. Hire more drivers to get the job done! Ice ever! Wish I would have checked out BBB and this site - look at all your bad reviews. Get a clue and fix your business model.

Gonzalo, Kevin, Carlos (all in Chicago-not local) chat agents flat out lied to me and exited chat, leaving me without resolution. Gonzalo said the driver was waiting at the restaurant. I called the restaurant and no driver had ever been there. Kevin said he called the driver. He actually called me. 101 minutes (1 hour and 41 minutes) after placing my order, it finally showed up. When I asked how long ago she had received the order, the driver said 15 minutes. Thank goodness the restaurant kept my food warm. I asked GrubHub for 2 free deliveries to compensate me. The best they could do was 20% off. Like I'm ever going to use them again anyway.

Never got food or refund
November 3, 2019

We placed an order for over $50. Within 10 minutes, we received a vague text saying the order was canceled. After finally calling and getting a rep from Grubhub, i was told the charge "would drop off within 24 hours". Never did. They gave us the run around for months. Never refunding $.

Useless employees
November 3, 2019

My order got canceled after 1 hour and 1/2. I contact GrubHub and they say to place another order? Are they kidding me! Never again. I will call the restaurants directly. They charge restaurants an astronomical charge for each order placed on GrubHub. CALL THE RESTAURANTS DIRECTLY PLUS NO DELIVERY CHARGE. BUNCH OF SCAMMERS!

Let me start by saying that this is not a review based on one, two, three, four, five, six or even seven orders - it's based on EIGHT different orders from different restaurants at different times of day and every single time they screwed it all up. Like others have said, I've had the wrong order delivered, almost always it's delivered between 45 min - 1.5 hours later than their original time. At that point I'm usually not hungry and so frustrated that it becomes a cereal night. They never contact you to tell you they are going to be running late, their customer service sucks and they never offer you a credit or anything for the complete lack of competency. This time, I called the restaurant and they said my food was sitting there for an HOUR! What the hell? The restaurant is about 10 min from my house. Two hours later I called and cancelled. Guess that's my lesson in why I shouldn't be lazy. Never ever ever ever ever have they gotten an order right - never. So. Clearly I'm done and you are all forwarned.
