Cold crappy food again
August 23, 2015

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

Awful service
June 24, 2020

This is my first time writing a review, but I just had such a negative experience with Grubhub that I feel compelled to share it. I ordered some food from my family, and it was delivered to the wrong address and left outside. The driver, who was very terse, had told me it was there and I spent time looking around for it outside my apartment; it was not there. When I called back, the driver was quite rude to me. When I told him he had the wrong address, he acted as if it was my fault--even though I checked my Grubhub account and the correct address was there in the records (and I had had other things delivered to my address from Grubhub in the past that made it here successfully). The driver's tone suggested that this was my fault and a major inconvenience for him. I eventually heard back from him that he was in my vicinity, but the call cut off. I waited and waited. Eventually I decided to go downstairs and look around, and the food was sitting there--but the driver couldn't even be bothered to text me that he had left the food there. Nor did he ever apologize.

I went upstairs and opened the order, and to make the whole thing even better, there were items missing. I then got on Chat with an agents, who informed me that he was refunding the money for the missing items, and that was all that could be done. Given how much money I had just paid the service, I was surprised that they wouldn't offer me an actual apology, or perhaps a credit. I was treated as if my continuing as a customer of theirs meant very little, so I tried to delete my account, only to discover I can't even do that; I am supposed to write them a note, asking them to delete my account, which I did.

Horrible
June 12, 2021

0 Stars. Ive ordered 3 times from grubhub with issues every time. I ordered tonight and my order was scheduled for 8:28-8:38. I get a call from them at 8:40. Which is 40 minutes after they accepted my order and took my money. When they called (which my order was already supposed to be here) they told me they cancelled my order and it will take 3-5 days to refund my money. Which they took instantly off my card. It also happened to be the last of my money. So now, no money, no food, nothing to reimburse me for my time and hunger. Which again they didnt tell me till after it was supposed to be delivered. I had to speak with 2 different people who cant even fully understand and speak English. So i go hungry tonight. It will be the last time i use this piece of dung service. So im eating water tonight for dinner.

If you arent going to take care of your customers then dont offer the service and dont take the money till its delivered. From now on i will Use door dash or i will stick to my Domino's. Atleast Domino's shows appreciation to my orders and always fast hot and fresh. Im hangry and grubhub has my money. Crooks thieves dinner ruiners. I lefit will have no food tonight. Hope everyone reads this and hope people realize the $#*!tiness the conpany has. And overcharging. Theres charges for delivery, tip, service fee, process fee. On a $6 order cost me almost $12 and cant get that back for 3-5 days.

So I placed another order with GrubHub today and again was sadly disappointed by both driver and Customer Service. The driver was pleasant and followed instructions on where to deliver my items this time BUT she never called to tell me that the restaurant didn't have the items I ordered and to ask how I wanted to proceed. Instead someone decided for me and gave me replacement items of THEIR choice. The driver waited until she arrived to tell me. I asked if I was to be refunded for the items I ORDERED and never received and she said "I don't know, you have to call GrubHub to find out." I then called Customer Service, who initially looked at my short lived order history for the two previous orders that both went horribly awry and proceeded to tell me they were unable to help me because I had been refunded on too many orders)! Insinuating I was trying to get free food because I was asking for refunds for the food I didn't receive on those last 2 orders. Keep in mind this is only my third order with them. So I interject before they can complete the sentence- because I'm good at interrupting and ask them what is their internal process when items are not available for an order. I was advised that either the driver is to contact them directly and they will contact the customer or the driver should contact the customer directly to advise and to ask if they would like a substitution or to cancel those items from the order. Neither of which happened in my case. They did refund two of the items from my order that weren't received and after my boyfriend opened up his order he realized that was also not what he ordered. At that point he was like forget it don't even bother calling back. So I canceled my free 60-day membership that they had given me to compensate for the last two orders that were botched up and I will no longer do business with them. Fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me. Goodbye GrubHub you look better gone. Maybe you will have better luck than me in your area but as for me I am 110% done with GrubHub. They deserve 0 starz..

Update: Grub hub has tried to make amends with 60 days of free GrubHub and $10 off my next order. Ive changed their rating to 3 stars due to the effort on their end but not higher as what happens from here remains to be seen.
*****************************
I Placed an order today with GrubHub and I will never use them again! Driver had detailed instructions on where to meet me when delivering. He did not follow any instructions. Food was left on the front porch of apartment building where anyone could have picked it up and walked away with it And one of the items was missing from my order. I immediately called GrubHub Customer Service who refunded me for the item and had me place a second order for which they removed the fees so I would only pay the actual cost of the item, which was appreciated. For which I would have to wait another hour for my order. Nothing offered in the way of compensation for customer satisfaction by the way. I decided to contact the restaurant to see if perhaps the driver had left my item on a delivery counter. I was then advised that the item was out of stock and they told the driver that and even wrote it on his receipt so that he wouldn't forget to tell me that it was out of stock and was therefore unavailable. As he left the food on the front porch and drove off, I never actually got a chance to speak with him in person to find this out. I called GrubHub Customer Service again for assistance and they apologized and refunded me for the second order for said item and noted their system about the driver's behavior and apologized for the inconvenience. I asked if there was anything they could do for me to compensate for this extreme inconvenience and horrendous experience with GrubHub and they said there was nothing further they could do. It's a shame that GrubHub believes Customer Service is not something they're willing to pay much for, so they outsource to a foreign country for it and do not empower said agents with the tools they need to not only resolve an issue but turn it around to create a satisfied customer that will still continue to do business with them. News flash-when you treat your customers like trash and you lose your customers you lose your business. I do not recommend GrubHub at all.

I am reviewing Grubhub as a restaurant manager, not just a customer. I also spent 6 months doing delivery for food service apps, so I know how hard (not hard) it is.

Many people don't realize Grubhub (and Postmates) work differently from Ubereats, Doordash, Caviar, etc. They partner with some restaurants, but if a restaurant is not partnered with them, a driver will physically go to the store, wait in line if necessary, and place the order.

This means much longer wait times for the customer. If the wait time is long a driver often gives up after a few minutes and cancels the order.

If the menu for a restaurant is incorrect on Grubhub's website, there is no way for us to fix it without signing up for their service. There is also no easy way for us to give feedback for drivers.

The drivers are consistently rude to us, the worst of any delivery service by far. They walk into the restaurant, don't say a word, and shove their phones in our face. I've had drivers yell at me and my employees because we wouldn't use their personal cell phones to talk to customers about the menu being incorrect- this is part of their job, but also I would never use someone else's cell phone (gross) and during Covid it's especially dangerous.

The drivers often place orders incorrectly, leading to unsatisfied customers calling my restaurant, and I then have to explain how Grubhub works to them.

They aren't offering a quality service so much as they are trying to coerce restaurants to sign up for their service. All of these issues create a bad experience for the restaurant and the customer. I have fielded so many phone calls from angry customers who don't realize how Grubhub actually works.

Finally, While Ubereats, Doordash, and Caviar have all made it easier for customers to tip the people preparing their food, their is no way on Grubhub to do that. While many people don't tip, at least these apps allow it.
In a time when my staff is under more stress from the pandemic and making less money than usual, this is especially inconsiderate. As I mentioned above, I have worked as a food delivery person, and I can tell you I work a lot harder as the person preparing the food. It's insulting you can tip the grubhub driver but not the restaurant.
