I could write an entire book about why you should not give your money to this business... yet. If they get their $#*! together... potentially reconsider. If this post is current, do not... I repeat DO NOT give a dime to this company. For the sake of well, space... I will refrain from large paragraphs.

Grubhub does not communicate with the restaurant nor the customer to ensure the food arrives let alone what happens if it does not.

Picture this: You're at a restaurant ordering. You order burgers for your entire family. The waitress takes orders and responds with "Okay I'll get that right in for you" and then never returns for hours to let you know that they in fact didn't have hamburger meat. Picture worse: After not informing you... a friend offers to go out of their way to make sure you got your food because by now it was late and your family has not had dinner and they know how much it meant to you because they took your call 3 times. (The friend is Blu Sushi which is who the order was with). The order my family never received so we made Macaroni family size at 10pm. Grubhub responds with a "we have no drivers available at this time" - (even when Blu had co formed our sushi was waiting for a pickup and would stay later than when they were open just to wait for the grubhub driver. SHOUTOUT TO BLU. Blu even asked where I lived to see if it was close enough for them to PERSONALLY DELIVER IT to me.
At this time when money is tough... please reconsider where you are really putting it. What if I was a single mom/dad trying to feed my kids for the night and was never notified my food wasn't on the way? Unacceptable. There are many other apps like
-Doordash
-UberEats
-Instacart
-Postmates
-Chownow

This is for the single dads and moms out there who could have potentially run into something like I did and had no other means of support. Grubhub... fix the communication between the restaurant AND the customer. Both need help... before something insane like this happens.

I wish there was a lower star. If you are looking to wait for hours, be infuriated and then told sorry but not sorry then this is your delivery service. They canceled on my 7 times out of 10 after waiting for hours. Terrible customer service. Terrible business overall. Yelp needs to remove this as a preferred vender.

Twice in 5 days Grubhub never shows up with the food. Twice I call customer service and twice they said they had to cancel the order. Without calling! Hungry kids. Do not use this service.

The Worst
April 28, 2020

This is BY FAR THE WORST delivery service available. I made a mistake and ordered a pickup instead of delivery. I spent 25 dollars in the process. I expressed to them that i didnt have a car and need them to switch it to delivery. They told me they couldnt do that. Then i told them to give me a refund and they told me they couldnt do that either. They offered me 10 dollars off of my next order (as if i would order anything through them again) and proceeded to apologize. In the end i ended up losing 25 dollars and they ended up losing another customer.

No dinner
April 28, 2020

I ordered from Grubhub for the first time a week ago and everything was fine. I ordered last night from them and the driver dropped it off at the wrong house, had he called me I could have told him that was not my house. When I told him it was the wrong house by text he questioned me like I was lying and I asked to have a replacement meal. I ordered it because I was hungry but obviously that didn't matter because I didn't get a replacement! The driver offered to go back to that house and get it, seriously during this time of Covid! They just lost a customer!

Never got my food
April 28, 2020

Don't waste your time with this company. I ordered a meal for delivery, went through the entire process, verified my address and my food never came. I used their chat line and they tried to tell me the order was for pickup. Who the hell would use a middle man to go pick up food. If I wanted to pick it up, I would have called the restaurant directly. Do yourself a favor and used uber eats or food dudes.

China Buffet
April 27, 2020

I've ordered from Grubb 3 times now and not 1 order has been 100% correct. I've left positive reviews on past 2 due to minor issues but tonight, I'm done with Grubhub ordering., drivers were good but the sources are the issue.

Ordered China buffet tonight. I ordered beef fried rice and got beef chowmein. Also ordered 2 orders of sesame chicken and fried rice, received 1 fried rice.
Ordered 4 egg rolls and 6 teriyaki pork on skewers. They came but they need to change the frying oil. Tasted nasty and threw out. Wasted 56.00 on this meal.

Driver was good and on time but China buffet sucks!

Food Order Cancelled
April 28, 2020

I placed an order for Popeye's. After waiting for about an hour I checked on my order. About that time my phone rang, it was GrubHub. It rang once and then stopped. I checked my order again and found it had been cancelled. I had been craving fried chicken for sometime now. Guess I'll have to wait a bit longer. We order last night for McDonalds and Burger King and had no problems. Not sure what went wrong this time.

Order food and it showed up wrong right away on line. Tried to call restrant no help. Tried to find a phone number for grub hub no luck. Finally got a non english speaking person. Told them to cancel he refused. Said he cant because order is made already but he offered to change it. I said if you can change you can cancel he refused. I told him I would stop payment he said he would cancel my account. Really like I am ever going to use them again. He insisted on changing so we tried three times he could not understand what I wanted. He finally cancelled and the food showed up. We gave it to he driver he was appreciative. The delivery cost and mandatory tip was rediculus. Do not use grub hub. By the way we were ordering from Taco Bell.

Everytime I made an order it would be blocked. I talked with the customer support and apparently using a gift card is suspicious? And they need to "investigate" before I can make any order. So now I can't order nor use my gift card. Worst experience ever. To order food, you need to be audited first. What a world

I ordered Taco Bell. My GrubHub driver informed me they were waiting
For my order. I was then notified my driver was on the way. They delivered it to my door (in the rain I am handicapped) and she was so pleasant. Great experience for 1 St time use! Thank you so much to my Driver!

App easy
April 28, 2020

The Grubhub App is very easy to use. The costumer service people very nice and professional. Just wish the drivers the hired actually got the food at the original estimated delivery time instead of pushing the drop off time back two or three times. Food comes cold most of the time because of this. For the extra money you pay for the convenience of more leaving your house it would still be nice to eat a hot meal. Happens 4 out of 5 times of ordering. Other companies I've used hasn't given me as much issues. Just disappointed bc the company itself is great

Driver picked up order an hour and a half before coming over. He was making other trips. No accountability and customer service is crap. On top of that I couldn't undo the "pre-tip". Garbage company hiring garbage drivers
