So frustrated
September 14, 2015

I've used grub hub religiously. Even after they discontinued the much loved rummy game. I continued to use their service. Without a hitch. However, this pat weeks experience has made me completely refuse to use the app. I ordered food via their app. Was charged on my credit card. I didn't get any call. So, I decided to just check my email. Thankfully I did. I Recieved an email stating that my order couldn't be processed. I call grubhub WHO CHARGED ME FOR FOOD I WASNT RECEIVING. I ask why it was cancelled without any call. I was told I HAVE TO WAIT TWO DAYS FOR AN EXPLANATION AND UP TO FOUR DAYS FOR A REFUND?! Seriously. No apology. No attempt to remedy the situation. Basically we took your money and now you have to wait without a reason why. I will never use them again. Seamless, I'm back.

First they tell me a 40mins. Alrighty, wish I knew that BEFORE I paid.
Then suddenly the texts keeps pushing it back... And back... And back... Food showed up after an HOUR AND A HALF.
I live 3.5 miles away from the Chinese food place I ordered from; my hubby and I just felt lazy. NEVER NEVER NEVER will I use this service again!

To top it all off:
My order was completely wrong, had to 3rd party between the restaraunt and the delivery service. Why didn't they CHECK THE ORDER?!
The food was COLD.

I got a re-deliver 40 mins later.
Food was cold again.
Whatever. We give up.

How in heck are they still in business?!

Ordered food at 12.07 pm and expected delivery is at 2:30. What the Hell! I can drive over there, eat and come back by then. Then I call the restaurant and then won't even confirm having the order. They tell me to call grubhub. Grubhub has no number that I can find to call. I tried to use the "chat" they won't even respond to that.

I have tried this service twice. Totally not worth it. It is a shame because the website is nice. Nice to filter by restaurants that deliver. That is the only reason they get even one star from me.
Save your time and frustration = don't use this site

I ordered food at around 1230 am since my baby is little & i was starving & didnt want to wake her up. At 2 food wasnt here yet! Gave it till 215-220 since it said 30-90 mins. Food didnt get here, so i cancelled it, i was starving but super sleepy, come on 2 hrs later!

Well went to sleep & got freaked out at 4am when i have my door bell ringing! Seriously 4 hrs later & after i cancelled it & after i was asleep for 2 hrs?
I guess they never got the message that i had cancelled the order!

I was pissed this late, u wake me & my baby up, after 4 hrs? Nooooo, i didnt take the food i was 2 mad & told the driver i didnt want it!

Food was half an hour late so I called the customer service number on the order conformation page. The number rang once and then just beeped. Their website is down and I called the restaurant and they said Grubhub never sent them the order. They charged my card and now I can't even talk to someone. It is almost 12 at night and now I can't order from anywhere else because it's too late. Never using Grubhub again!

Extremely Poor service
September 13, 2015

I ordered food at 9:00 PM and they said it will be delivered by 9:40-9:50 PM and already its 10:30 and I am still waiting for my food. Extremely poor service.

I tried to reach them on their website and through phone call and they do not respond. This was my first and probably the last time using their service.

Don't do it!
September 12, 2015

An hour and a half after ordering, still no food. I got a call from the manager saying that the food was on the way 30 minutes before I gave up.

I drove to the same restaurant that I ordered from, placed a new order, got the food, and drove back to my house in 20 minutes. Wow. What a waste of time.

Avoid this service!

Never received the order
September 8, 2015

Not only was the estimated delivery time ridiculously long, we never received the order, so it really doesn't get any worse than this.

Horrible Service
September 1, 2015

Great concept. Unfortunately, bad service. I have ordered from GrubHub 5 times. 3 out of 5, the food was 20 minutes late, and two of those times, I had issues with my food. Talk about being late, and having the food cold. The first time, I did complained, but ended up eating the food because I was hungry. I didn't get reinburse, but the delivery charged was waived. Wow! $2.00 off for the inconvenience. The second time, I had requested them to remake, and gave me a $10 off promo code for the inconvenience. I ended up canceling the order because it was 4:30 pm and they still have not delivered my lunch. If you don't mind waiting, food cold and late, then GrubHub is the one for you.

KAI-LI Kitchen in East Setauket, NY is the best. From the time you enter their take out kitchen you are met with a freindly smile. They has matered the art of Fried Chicken Wings. Sorry Jumbo Fried Chicken Wings. Be sure to order a bag for yurself and each member at your dinner table. They are the best in the Three Village area. Not just their chicken wings, but all the foods offered. If you call it ready when you arrive. If you instead and drop in its not a month of Sundays before the food is ready. Check out their menu@ www.kailikitchen.com. Located on 25A in East Setauket. The best food in the area. *******338 for great food with a wide smile.

Their best Fried Chicken Wing customer EVER.

I ordered from a restaurant. It took 20 minutes for me to get a confirmation email. Same email said the meal will arrive 20 minutes later of course. When I called grubhub they could not care less and said it is the restaurant fault and claimed they can't know... Even though it was written in front of her. When I tried to explain or speak to a supervisor I was hung up on.
LOST A CUSTOMER.

Used it twice. First time it took them 2 hours to deliver. The pizza was cold and awful. The second time they never delivered and I went to bed hungry. It was impossible to get customer service. Just save your money and time and don't use it. DON'T USE IT!

GARBAGE!
August 30, 2015

Least consistent service ever. Awful. And impossible to even get customer service to help. Never got the food I ordered and couldn't even get customer service via phone, after several digital attempts to make contact. DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE!

Aug 29,2015 Issue
August 31, 2015

I've ordered from GrubHub before, but it's been awhile.
Now today after the Hwy 101 fiasco I need to treat myself to some food.
I placed an order at 5:30 and it said it'd be here at 6:54.
Then it was revised to 8:19 and when I called the restaurant they let me know that GrubHub has been tripping and they had only received my order at 7:20.
They need to put an alert on their app.
Also, I never received the confirmation text.
I'm even more irritated now.
I probably will delete the app after this incident.
