Grubhub has the absolute worst drivers

Grubhub has the absolute worst drivers.
It's not the restaurant, it's the drivers. They sit still until the time gets pushed back and by the time they decide to deliver it's cold.
Alternatively, and more and more frequently, the drivers don't seem to know how to read. They can't follow directions on the gps. I have had several drivers call and ask me for directions after they've driven in the wrong direction. My road name has the word 'school' in it. I've had drivers drive to an actual school and wonder where the door is.
This is the last time.

Grubhub service is horrible

Grubhub service is horrible! Customer service definitely when something goes wrong with your order. The guarantee perks of $5 if your order is late doesn't apply after a couple of orders. When placing an order through them the ETA is always an hour later but still never on time. The few times I used them I had to wait over 2 hours ro receive my delivery. I do not recommend Grubhub for your food delivery service. Recommended service would definitely be Doordash or Uber eats, much better service.

Grubhub customer service is a joke

Grubhub customer service is a joke. Zero accountability. They have no issue taking the profits, but when it comes to owning an order gone wrong, their m.o. is to blame the customer. When a merchant screws up your order, they flat out refuse to give you any type of discount, and are willing to lose thousands of dollars of your business over one bad $30 order. This comes from upper management. They treat their customers like peasants, they don’t have our backs, so why give them our business? Do yourself a favor. Switch to DoorDash or anything else.

Please take the time and read this

Please take the time and read this. If I could’ve given -5 stars I would have. The food was delivered and left at the front door on the ground. Not to mention he apparently had picked up the wrong meal. After calling GrubHub to get this resolved, they had more excuses than you could ever imagine. I refuse to eat my food after it has been left in the Florida heat at the front door. Do not use this company.

This was my first time and last using it.

This was my first time using this, not this time. They took forever and by the time it got here everything was cold and the chicken wasn't fresh. They only refunded half of my money which was irresponsible and unprofessional. I will NOT use Grubhub again.Disappointed bad first time.

I ordered food

I ordered food, gave very explicit directions to my home, but food was never delivered. I received a text saying it was delivered with a picture of my food sitting on someone else's doorstep!! When I talked with someone on their website, I was told my food was going to be reordered and redelivered. Time goes by, still nothing, no food. So I called their grubhub guarantee hotline only to find out my food was never reordered. I was told I would receive a $5 off coupon for my next order, and they also at that time put my food order through. I ordered my food at around 7pm. It finally showed up a little after 10pm, cold and wrong. The place was also closed now at that point. I will never use this service again. Anyone want my stupid $5 off coupon?? Yeah, I didn't think so - me either!!

Delivery drivers are incompetent

The idiot driver came into the wrong side of the industrial plant I work in (completely different street name), and left the order at an unmanned guard post saying that it was delivered! I had to call their helpline to get the order replaced. Since this was the second time in two days their drivers screwed up, I will no longer be using Grubhub!

Don’t bother using Grubhub

I use Grubhub last week in order to get a hamburger for lunch. I gave explicit directions, in the app for the driver to deliver to my apartment complex. The driver was late coming to my apartment complex and once he got here, he drove around the apartment complex. He sat beneath my balcony and parked, and he must’ve eaten my food. I didn’t get the food and he marked the food as delivered. I tried repeatedly to contact the courier. I called him several times he hung up the phone. I texted him several times he ignored the text. I called customer service and I was issued a credit in excess of $30.. I also had a credit in the system for $25 that will expire July 1. I tried to order food today for pick up with Grubhub because I don’t trust the drivers to do the right thing and at this point, don’t trust him to handle my food. I was told that I’m not allowed to use both credits together. Meanwhile, I have a credit card balance because of your ineptitude. The customer service agent issued my credit in the form of a Grubhub credit and I will say that that’s my fault. I was so angry. I didn’t see what they were writing in the chat.. I will not use your service any longer even though I am a prime customer. If I have credit in the system, why should you be able to legislate how I use them? rest assured, I am going to tell everybody that I know not to use your service, on every social media site that I use.. You’re doing a customer service when you can’t provide them service for the money that they have already spent, in your system, when you did not honor an agreement. My first order with Grubhub was on June 1. They would not accept Grubhub credits used in combination, on June 6.. This is how they extort their customers. They claim that you cannot use the credit together. So, in short, they will use your money, but they want to tell you how you can use it when they have to issue your credit. Never again!

If I could give them less than 1 star I…

If I could give them less than 1 star I would. This company is truly sickening, I believe them to be Criminal and the equivalent of modern day slavers. I know many people who have driven and currently drive for this abominable company and I’ll say this… in most instances you can make more money holding a sign that reads “will work for food” how they are allowed to operate in the United States is beyond me.

They suck

I placed a lunch order today for several people and the bill came to $169.00. Out of the order there were supposed to be 3 potatoes and we got only one. The cheddar/broccoli sauce smelled rancid and tasted bad! The mushrooms in our salad were slimy and gross. We all had dirt in bits of our salads! Grubhub makes it almost impossible to complain. The numbers say they don't take calls anymore. Now, it's 11:22pm when I finally got a message back from them and now they want pictures. How can I take pictures of non existent food, slimy mushrooms or dirt in my salad. I don't believe a picture of cheddar/broccoli sauce smell or taste bad in a picture! On top of that I threw all the food out! It was the worst meal I have ever had let alone pay $169 for! By the way, the restaurant was the Garden Bar at Ruby Tuesday in Pensacola.

You will refund my money now!!!!!!! Still being told NO!!!!!!!!!!. When the order does not show up. I will be told NO again.

Very poor business practices

Three separate occasions we have not received our order due to grubhub not assigning a driver and once a driver is assigned when the driver gets to the restaurant the restaurant will have closed. I have tried to contact grubhub to speak to a supervisor and the only thing you are able to contact is AI which is very limited so nothing is being fixed and the place of business you ordered from is getting the blame. Very poor business practices.

Not stores fault

Not the drivers fault or the stores fault, but the Grubhub website screwed up and they refuse to make it right. If you are actually chatting with a live person all they type are scripted replies and offer no help whatsoever. I am very disappointed in the Grub hub service. You can't speak to a live individual and all they want to do is blame the customer. True customer service attempts to make things right. Not place blame. Having worked in Customer Service for over 20 years most as a supervisor, you do not blame the customer, EVER. I place an order to be delivered the next day at a certain time. I verified this numerous times. The website does not allow you to go back and see this. They placed and delivered the order over 24 hours early. This order was for almost $300 and was part of a meal for a family for a funeral. Not only did they make a bad situation worse they refuse to further than their script to fix anything. Very poor scripted robotic customer service. This is what AI is leading to.

Grubhub is a complete scam

Grubhub is a complete scam, ever since the merger with Amazon the opportunities have diminished and the tipping has gotten poorer. Driver prices have not been updated with the cost of inflation or gas. The customer service is extremely poor and comical in a sense on how misinformed the agents are. Anyone considering driving for GrubHub should reconsider, they're an absolute joke and nothing but crooks and thieves. Definitely not worth the wear and tear on your vehicle to be paid less than minimum wage. I implore you to boycott this business for their unethical practices and poorly run operations. They're a complete joke 🤣

not worth it for most of America.

Here's the issue, in most cities GrubHub plus simply doesn't make sense.

Around lunchtime, expect EVERY restaurant to not be available because of "high demand." Want to search for just the restaurants doing delivery?

Well, you can't. The issue I have is that this is such a simple feature to add that makes so much sense, I know they've thought of it. But if they added it they know the vast majority of users would constantly see "no restaurants available."

I got GrubHub plus on a promo for $1 a month and I feel ripped off. I literally can't order anything in my entire city. Oh I can see restaurants, and I can order pickup, but if I wanted to do that I'd call or go to the restaurant's website.
