Placed an order at 5:36PM. Confirmed for delivery at 6:25. Checked the site at 6:40 when food had not arrived. Delivery time had been revised to 7:25. Called the restaurant. THEY DID NOT HAVE OUR ORDER. Complained to customer service with GrubHub and guess what? The phone number has been disconnected and my chat went unanswered. Called the restaurant again, and THEY HAD JUST RECEIVED MY ORDER AT 6:50 PM, A FULL HOUR AND HALF AFTER I PLACED IT. Yes, forgive me, I'm shouting. Now food is expected at 7:45. WILL NEVER USE GRUBHUB AGAIN.

Terrible
August 30, 2015

I placed an order on Grub Hub. They confirmed it and even sent me a text that the driver had picked it up from the restaurant. When it didn't show up I called the restaurant and they had no orders from Grub Hub. Calls and chats to their customer service line went unanswered. They are a rip off.

Never again!
August 30, 2015

There service used to good, but now it really sucks. Ordered as usual and paid. They told me waiting time 40-50 min. After 2 hours waiting I called the restaurant. They didn't even receive my order. Grubhubs 24/7 service is not responding. Still hungry and pissed.

Ordered a pizza, credit card accepted and taken. Never showed up, after 2 hours. No calls. Now site is down. My first experience with this service will certainly be my last.

Quite frankly, my tipping style and decision to GIVE my money away is up to me. When the app recently turned into a will you tip by credit card now or tip when driver shows up thing, I won't tip at all. I love tipping good drivers but it should not be expected and I shouldn't have to enter how much I will tip and whether it will be by CC or in cash at the door. None of your damn business! Looking at the Eat24 app as I write this.

They put delivery where it shouldn't be. 90 minutes for bland cold Chinese food on a Saturday night is not right.

Whats the point?
August 22, 2015

First off 4 out 5 resturants deliver on their own. So. Why pay and fee GH to do it and wait triple the time. Their "deep fried crystal ball" is never right and Im sorry 7:05-815 is a REDICULOUS time window. Basically GRUBHUB SUCKS! Try Seamless or Eat24 theyre more honest at least. Sorrry grubhub you suck and your crystal ball

Don't do it!
August 21, 2015

If you are hungry, either go get it yourself or use any one of the other reputable food delivery services. Grub Hub will do nothing but take your time and your money. 5 out of 5 times they messed up my order and I am now done. Gopheritdelivery.com, seamless.com, eat24.com or doorstepdelivery.com are all better services and i think even a bit cheaper. The cool thing is these other companies also give promo codes for discount or free food! Grub Hub does like 3 times per year. The choice is obvious. Grub Hub sucks and is unreliable.

DO NOT USE... AWFUL!
August 19, 2015

Ordered a local mexican restaurant with them... was going to take an hour and a half. We were ok with this because it was pretty late at night. 35 min after it was supposed to be delivered I called customer service to find out why and she said she needed to call the restaurant. The restaurant had been closed for an hour at this point. Never was delivered and customer service was unbelievably unhelpful. Acted like nothing was unusual. What a joke... DO NOT USE GRUB HUB UNLESS YOU WANT A HASSLE AND NO FOOD. We will see if I ever get my money back

$#*! company
August 17, 2015

Grubhub has the most incompetent morons working for them that could possibly exist. Everything goes wrong when I try to place an order. They display restaurant options for restaurants that aren't actually delivering food, and they display food choices that aren't actually available. Then they rejected my credit card even though it is perfect fine, for reasons that still haven't been figured out. I just want god damn food and they have made this unimaginably difficult.

This place really suck! And it's not the restaurant I ordered from. I ordered online at 6:00pm and I was told that my order would arrive to me by 7:45pm. So 8:00pm came along and still no food. So of course I call, and the driver stated he JUST called in my order and It will be another 45 minutes to an hour before I receive my food! Never order from her... TRY FOOD NOW. THEY ARE GREAT

Worst delivery service - no delivery person while our food was waiting at restaurant for over an hour. Another time took 2 hours - needless to say we will no longer be using EAT24 - go to hell!

I'm only giving them one star as I was not able to give them 0 stars. Food takes about an hour more than the estimated delivery time ( in multiple restaurant) in Chicago. It is better to just order directly from the restaurant or prepare your own food. Delivery fees are very expensive for the additional one hour time than it normally takes. I'm very disappointed if this app that Inhave deleted it from my phone. NEVER USING IT AGAIN

I am a Grubhub delivery driver. The wait that you are experiencing when receiving your food really depends on the restaurant. Sometimes they are swamped and tell us it isn't ready yet and that we should come to pick up the order. I waited over 40mins once to pick up a customers order. So by the time I delivered it on the other side of Brooklyn the customers are already pissed off.

Another thing is Grubhub is a shady company. They keep the tips for themselves and don't give it to the delivery drivers. I beg customers not to tip through the Grubhub website/delivery app. We never get that money. Cash deliveries are better for us. Grubhub has conjured up a ridiculous contract and in fine print robs the delivery driver of their tips.

Going Downhill...
August 8, 2015

I used Foodler often for a couple years but will never again. Started receiving additional charges notices from them regarding requests for "extras". Of course these notices came after the food was delivered. If you ask for anything "extra" whether it's mayo or cheese, expect to get slapped with an additional $2 plus tax charge on your credit card. Pricing for extra's should be revealed at the time of purchase! I won't order again.

They say, while you are waiting on hold for over ten minutes, that they have amazing customer service. Every time I call, they are experiencing "unusually high call volume." That should tell them, and you, something. First, how can you say that you have acceptable customer service, let along amazing, when every time I call it's over a ten minute wait?

Also, too many times when I call a restaurant is out of something. So the restaurant calls to tell me this, I have to talk to grubhub to make sure I am not going to be charged, on hold, hear all kinds of excuses and thank yous for my advice, etc, etc, but it happens too often and they either need a way to update menus for out of stock items, or tell the restaurants that if it keeps happening then grubhub will stop using them. It's like everybody associated with this place is in denial. It's all happy, happy, joy, joy, we have such great customer service... when they've irritated you, wasted your time, and left you frustrated and hungry.

Second time ordering - once it was over an hour after I ordered, the second it never arrived. When canceling they tell me it will take 3-5 days for my credit. Is this their scam? They get my money immediately I never get my food and they keep my money for 3-5 days. Do not ever use this service
