THE ABSOLUTE WORST
June 27, 2016

Delivery times are completely wrong and there is no real time tracking. Order from Postmates and save yourself the headache!

Figured the first try was a fluke when our food arrived cold and pasty (three hours scheduled) so seven months later we gave it another try - worse result. An hour delivery time turned into 2 with us calling at 2 to find out what happened - only to be told "we are making it now". Another hour - nothing. We've eaten toast and refused the food/charge.

Ghastly
June 24, 2016

I don't usually write negative reviews, but GrubHub is a deserving exception. Dismal waiting times, cold food, restaurants that react with apathy and sometimes even rudeness when you call for status, and waaaaay too expen $$ive for the level of service they offer. Call tje restaurant dierctly and Get your food for pickup. If they only offer delivery through this sute, Run! And call another restaurant.

DO NOT USE GRUB HUB
June 24, 2016

We decided to use GrubHub for an order from a restaurant that we frequent. 30 min after we placed the order, the owner of the restaurant called us to tell us our order was ready and the driver was still 45 minutes out! If you are ordering from them, the reason your food doesn't taste as good isn't the restaurants fault... it's GrubHub. They are terrible.

Stay away -danger
June 23, 2016

The absolute worst, impolite, insulting unintelligent, untrained and totally unacceptable customer service I have ever encountered in my entire life. I was hung up on five times in one day trying to make a complaint about a place I had ordered faithfully from for three months, but for some reason, the owner went nuts and told me " find another place to order from".

He did this intentionally because in the 3 months of ordering the same thing for breakfast, the eggs easy over were hard as a rock. Otherwise the food was fantastic. I found his behaviour to be so highly insulting to a loyal customer- I couldn't believe it. Then I called my lawyer, and the restaurant just stopped answering all phone calls.

When I callled Grubhub customer service, I was hung up on at least five times. My lawyer had the same experience. I will be crossing them off my list. This is not the way you treat longstanding customers who tip well the delevery people!

Called at 2pm, ordered a sandwhich, fries and shake from portillos. I'm typing this right now as I'm about to leave work at 4:30, still with no food. Every time I called they said they were 5 mins away, when I tracked the order online it just said it should have been there by now. I literally waited over 2 hours for food that never came and was already paid for. Called to get a refund and was put on hold for 20 minutes. I will absolutely never be using them every again, if I want it that bad I'll either go get it myself or order from the restaurant directly. Worst delivery experience to date that I've ever had

It took over an hour for my food to hit the road and an extra hour to get to me! By time I got the food it was cold and I wasn't even hungry anymore. The place is a 10 minute drive away, this was just too much. I wasted my time and money!

As many people have said, I had to call the restaurant (about 10 minutes after it was supposed to be delivered) and they informed me they never got the full order or my contact details to tell me they did not get it.

Contacted GrubHub, was told I would be refunded (we'll see) and was sent a coupon - which I have yet to receive.

The benefit does not outweight he risk.

My food order took nearly 2 hours to be delivered. After an hour I called the restaurant, and they said my order had been ready for a while, and were just waiting on the delivery person.

I called grubhub to see if I should just pick it up myself, and she contacted the driver who said he was 10 minutes away. After waiting for 30 minutes I called grubhub who said it would only be 5 more minutes. 10 minutes later the driver showed up with the wrong order. When I did finally get my order, it had been sitting out for an hour, and was inedible.

I then spent 20 minutes on hold with grubhub customer service, and then another 10 minutes on hold before being told they would not refund my order. Very dissapointed with grubhub!

I ordered food and drinks from Eat24 and the delivery was incomplete. I asked to have missing items delivered. They said they would and after contacting them 4 times over 6 hours, they never arrived. I asked for refund of delivery fee and service fees and since the third party would not refund them, Eat24 said there is nothing they can do. They need a new system. If we order through them, they should be able to rectify the situation. Dine on Demand is the third party delivery, so I would steer clear of them, as well. I paid service fees and deliver fees of $12 for services that were not fulfilled. They offered no discount on order. All they had to do was refund the fees and I would have been fine, even without the missing items and they wouldn't do it. Don't use them!

$#*!ty Drivers
June 8, 2016

I work for a pizza chain, and, in my experience, find grub hub employees to be the rudest people ever. I hate dealing with them. They are apparently sent out before the restaurants can confirm their orders, and they are quick to find fault with restaurant employees even though it is not our fault. I have even seen them pick fights with my coworkers. They seem to think that they are more important than our other customers and are impatient even at a 5 minute delay. They should do us, and their customers, a favor and let our own delivery drivers deliver their orders. $#*!ty customer service, too. I ordered from them once, and I never got my food. Never got an email or a phone call explaining why. Eat24 is much better, both for customers and for restaurants.

Fist time, several items I ordered were not available so they delivered 20%of the order, but retained the tip on the complete amount and were 1 hr late. This time, they are now 30 minutes late and the restaurant said that the order was never actually placed. Now working with the restaurant directly who actually have their own service.

The restaurant blames you, you blame the restaurant. GrubHub never take the fault. If GrubHub hire the drivers, and their driver doesn't do his job... it's GrubHub's fault. I'm sick of it.
