They cancelled my order for absolutely positively no reason and they didn't even try to give an explanation.

Never got food
May 20, 2019

The guy never brung the food, after a long wait, we texted him, he texted to give him 10 minutes, never came, we cancelled after waiting some more. Never again Uber Eats is better.

Canceled my order twice and took the money out of PayPal. I'll never use this service again. Worst place to order from.

This company is a scam! We ordered our food but, our food was never delivered! The company stated that driver called (blatant lie), and could not rectify the situation by simply having another driver deliver the items. Grub hub's policy regarding refunds are egregiously ridiculous. I will urge anyone who wants to order with service to go else where.

We ordered from a local restaurant around 11:15... kept waiting on the order. Around 12:30 it wasnt here. We saw it had been delivered at 12:03... NOT to us, at our workplace. Then, the icing on the cake was customer service. I called customer service and was told, " the delivery person called multiple time, sent texts ( to our business line - NOT), and sent 2 emails (they did not). Then, when asked to speak to a supervisor, they hung up on me. No assistance in figuring out where our food went. NO refund. Nothing. I am out over 20.00 with no recourse or lunch... no way to leave comments on their social media... worse than poor customer service... same scripted answer.

Cannot promise an ETA, keep delaying your order until all restaurants close! Hate Grubhub. I wish I could give it 0 stars. They compensate by giving you $10 coupon. TRASH

Ordered last night and after 1 1/2 hours the order gets canceled. Call to complain and they give us a $25 promo code. Order again tonight and 1 1/2 hours later they canceled it again. Call them. First they say the restaurant is not answering the phone. Well why when I call do they answer right away? They said the food is there and hasn't been picked up. So then GH says the restaurant has their own driver. Well why would they be waiting for someone to pick it up? GH is a bunch of liars. Do not use this company.

Juan Pablo Galue never showed up with my family's supper yet he marked the tracker as 'delivered the items'! I waited for him for 40 min at the lobby of the Royal Pacific Hotel, next to the place where other companies deliver food. I saw many food deliveries happen but ours never came. Yet I left my room number and my phone number in the delivery instructions. I called Juan's number shown on the tracker. He claimed he showed up and didn't see me! How can he SEE me when he doesn't KNOW me?! I immediately called customer service but the lady just kept repeating "I'm sorry about that. Unfortunately all I can do is offer you two $25 vouchers as compensation, and only one voucher can be used at one time." I was nonplussed. What? Your driver doesn't deliver my food and all you can do is offer me opportunity to shop twice with you?! And I paid $USD60.07 plus tip for that unfulfilled order! I even offered to pay extra for the driver to turn around to bring my family's supper but she just kept repeating the compensation as all she can do. As a cherry on the pie, at the end of the call, she told me to hold on for a brief survey on how well I have been served on a scale of 1 to 5. How darnedly crass! GrubHub is a TERRIBLE company. Please steer clear. Check out BBB to see the gazillion complaints. They are just beyond terrible. I'm disputing the transaction with my credit card company.

GrubHub pickup...
May 14, 2019

I ordered from GrubHub thinking I was going to get delivery but then I looked and it said pickup would be ready at 8:00. Oops. That was my fault I thought this was a food delivery service for some reason. When I picked up the food I also got a menu and saw the prices on the app we're incredibly jacked up. 13 dollar entrees were 18 dollars on the app. Also I added a tip. Who gets that when I pick up the order. Craziness.

Placed an order and received it in a reasonable amount of time. However I did not receive my full order. The driver when contacted stated that the bag was sealed when he picked it up and was told everything was in there. I contacted the restaurant and they said they would provide the sides if the driver came back. Contacted driver who couldn't do it so I contacted customer service. Customer service refused to send another driver and only stated they would refund my money. This is not how you take care of your customers. If I could give zero stars I would.

Ordered food, supplied cell number, they supposedly contacted a disconnected home phone number (not supplied in my order to call if any issues) they never called cell number provided. They did not deliver. Chatted with theee customer service reps ("let me review your order info") who left me at that message three times. Called and spoke to rep who told me they called disconnected number and they would not reimburse or drop off food.

Jacks up prices.
May 13, 2019

I saw a commercial for $10 off your first order. I decided to try using the app to get carryout from a resteraunt I have never tried that was advertised on their site. After I placed my order using the $10 off coupon I realized the resteraunt had their own site that you could order online from. Grubhub was 61 cents more than I would have paid ordering directly from the website. That was after the $10 off. I will never use them again.

Grubhub is the worst delivery service you could possibly have. I live in a huge city and it took them an hour and 15 minutes to even get a driver for my food that was done 45 minutes before. If you think they are going to be fast, think again. And the customer service was even worse. I waited 10 minutes to get a representative and even after I did they were not helpful at all, did not suggest a resolution, and left the chat before seeing if there was anything else I had questions about. Like I said above, by far the worst delivery service out there. Do not order food from them.

I want to like GrubHub, but they suck. The took over food delivery from Yelp. Their delivery estimates are always wrong. They take much longer, but don't communicate that until the moment the original estimate passes. So, for example, an estimate of 6:20 to 6:40 becomes 7:00 to 7:20... at 6:39. Do they call? No. Email? No. You must proactively go into their horrible app to see diner's an hour late. If you call, they apologize. Who needs their cheap and easy apologies? Fix what's broken.

I've been using Grubhub for years and am finally done with them. I ordered a taco meal which arrived with no shells. After talking with customer service I was offered a $1.00 refund for the shells regardless of the fact that the entire point of the meal was held together by the inclusion of the shells. So now I had a salad basically. Not an appealing salad either. I have literally spent upwards of 15k to 20k thru Grubhub as I have used the service between 5 to 10 times a week because of my work schedule for years now. This is not the first time I've had issues either. I was basically told to bad regarding my order and when I asked to speak to someone who could into this further with me I was flat out told no. The customer service has gotten progressively worse over the years which I find confusing since there is now an abundance of options for other services to use everywhere, which is exactly what I will be doing from now on. Their loss.

Scam!
May 11, 2019

My co workers ordered food and spent alot of money doing so. The food never came and when GrubHub was contacted, they said no refund (would not give a reason) but did offer a discount! This service is a scam, DONT USE. They are thieves. They need to be investigated.

I'm switching to DOOR DASH. Ordered food on Monday and never received as they had an incorrect phone number. They withdrew from my bank account and just credited me back with $20 vouchers only to use one at a time. They can take it all out of my account at once but they return it in separate transactions. I have used them many of time before. Tonight, tried to use 1 of their vouchers and order food to only be charged the remaining balance on my debit card for the order ONCE again, not to show up. I even text and called the driver to advise of my correct phone number to ONCE AGAIN say delivered and NEVER Received. I advised them to GIVE ME FULL CREDIT and my voucher back. IF ANYONE wants a voucher FOR 1/2 the price for this type of service email me at *******@yahoo.com. DOOR DASH GOING FORWARD. APPEARS THEIR REVIEWS JUST CONTINUE TO GET WORSE. OBVIOUSLY, THEY DONT HAVE A GREAT MANAGER TO RECONCILE SITUATIONS LIKE THAT WHICH IS BAD BUSINESS PRATCIE AND BAD ON GRUBHUB.

I would give them ZERO stars if that was possible. I went online and placed a dinner order and put down that I wanted it delivered at 6:30pm. The order showed it would be delivered between 6:30 and 6:40pm. I got home at 6:25 and my neighbor told me that driver just left. They showed my food delivered at 6:24pm which was a flat out lie. Now why would you ask what time to deliver the food if you are going to try to deliver it earlier and then NOT call or wait for me to get home? I called customer service and was told that they tried to deliver and nobody was home so I could NOT get the food and I could NOT have a refund. I yelled and yelled and they could care less. I hung up and went online and spoke with the customer service and they said the same thing. I was not home and they would not bring me the food I paid for and I could NOT have my money back. After much arguing I was told they would send me a voucher for the $30 I just spent and I could use that voucher to just order the food again. Well that also turned out to be a big fat lie! They sent me 2 vouchers with one for $25 and one for $5. The fine print on the voucher said they could not be combined and that I could not pay for the delivery charge, the taxes or the tip with the voucher. Now I already paid all those things one the order I did not get and now I could not get the order replaced using the vouchers they sent. Talk about 100 percent rip-off! So I got no food. I got charged $30 that they will not refund and I have 2 vouchers that I can not use to pay for the order I never got. Honestly how do you think I feel about Grub Hub?

NEVER AGAIN! Not even for FREE!

Apparent Fraud!
May 10, 2019

After placing two orders with GrubHub and both were cancelled by Grubhub one
Everning, the first order was resubmitted by GrubHub later that evening, not me, not delivered, but charged to my credit card. It was not dissolved or credited from my credit card account, like usual cancelled orders. I received an email from GrubHub that stated that a bank or credit company reported these transactions as "fraud" on the part of GrubHub. Also, the email stated that because GrubHub has lost money on these transactions, I am now banned from using their products (no problem). The net result, though, is that GrubHub did not lose money at all, in fact, they made off with the charge for a fake delivery order later that evening. I'll never use GrubHub again and don't wish anyone the experience I had with them.
