      Aug 6, 2025 around 9:45pm Order #********-3460875 Order from chipotle. I am a 8 month pregnant 10 hour shift working mother. I got off work wanted to order food and decided to try grub hub I placed my order well over an hour and a half before they closed. 20 minutes prior to closing still no driver assigned I reach out to them. They give me the run around and the rest assured Id get my food. Assigns a dasher five minutes before closings needless to say he got there when it was closed and they then had to cancel my order. Immediately after I reach back out bc I put in a second order bc again Im pregnant and hungry. For ***********. They close at 2 stop taking order @1:30 I made the order around 11:30 no later then that. Mind you both places are within a 15 minut radius to my address. Now I see time is getting late again sameeeeee thing happening I reach out to the 1st ********** when I seen my eta went from 1:07(which is already after they close) to 1:37 who said rest assured again Id get my food. And expect it at the original eta of 1:07. Well 12:55 no driver they now close in five minutes I reach back out 2nd ********** who tells me himself the restaurant is closed! And I still wasnt assigned a driver. Who then proceeds to have the audacity to tell me he couldnt cancel it. Then begins speaking over me and arguing with a 8 month pregnant woman embarrassing and disgusting so I called him incompetent and hung up to reach someone w some sense. I then call **** reach another ********** at this point the *** went from 1:36 which was bad enough to 2:17 over a hour and a half after their closed who tells me shes also unable to help. The absolute worst disgusting service I have ever seen in my life. So unhelpful non empathetic and unprofessional

      I have now had multiple orders delivered to the wrong address and included drop off photos of homes that are not even mine. On July 12th 2025, I waited over an hour for a delivery that was left at the wrong house. I attempted to text and call the driver with no ***ly. I then got in my car searching the entire negihborhood for a porch that looked like the one in the photo. I found the home in the photo a couple of blocks away, not even on the same street and not with the same address numbers. How the confusion? When I arrived to this neighbors home, they were just pulling up into the driveway. I told them the situation and they kindly checked their ring camera for me as the food was no longer sitting on their porch. Upon checking we saw the grubhub driver set down my food, take a picture and then get back in the car and drive away with my food! This driver chose a home which appeared empty with no cars in the driveway figuring Id probably never find out. I was offered a reorder from grubhub having to wait another hour but no investigation, no coupons, no refund, nothing further. Now today 08/06/2025 the same issue. Delivery photo that is not my home and when you look at the delivery photo anyways, you can see the order is wrong as there are no drinks in the photo anywhere. Again, texted and called the driver with no response. Went around the neighborhood with no luck this time. Grubhub sent a reorder which I have to wait over an hour for again. No coupons, no refunds, no investigation. I asked the grubhub *** if they can see if this is the same driver for both orders but was just brushed off. The only thing I ever get from grubhub is "We are sorry, we will notify someone else." No follow up, no follow through and no making things right. Mind you I am tipping well and giving this money to people who do not deserve it. I spend SO MUCH money at grubhub and now never want to use them again. The business is losing money over these horrible drivers but will not investigate

      On 8/6/25 I was attempting to place an order. Upon clicking to go to checkout the screen showed order submitted, which I didnt do. As I never got the checkout screen I was unable to choose a payment method or choose a tip amount. I immediately reached out to their customer support and after over an hour and two support agents, nothing was done. I was offered $7 off my next order which I denied. My card was charged without permission and I never submitted the order. I was told that as the order was delivered they couldnt assist however, I reached out to support in less than 3 minutes from the order showing submitted when I hadnt submitted it myself. I wanted to use a gift card but as I never got to see the checkout screen, I never had an opportunity to add it (or realize I couldnt add during checkout and I would have backed out of the order and applied it to my account). When reaching out to customer support I did ask them to change the payment method or anything, I was paying for the order and not asking for a free order. I was told that as the order was delivered they couldnt assist, ignoring the fact that I had already been with chat for an hour and reached out immediately.

      I ordered thru Grubhub and noticed after 15 minutes they had not assigned a driver so I contacted Grubhub and they finally assigned a driver but they kept on changing the time when the food would arrive. So the food arrived and of course it was no longer warm and it didnt taste good. So I threw it away. After chatting for 2 days I finally got a $20.00 credit. Well the next day I went to use the credits and they had closed my account for cussing. Well I told them thats fine but I appealed my closed account and asked that my credits be sent to my original payments. Well on 6 August I get another email From Grubhub saying I will not get my payment back because they said I had a high number of incidents where I got money back. Only bc of their bad service. Anyway it seems to me that taking something back that they owe you is ridiculous and I hope you can set them straight. I cant even believe what theyre doing is legal.

      8/3/25 I didnt get my order from ********* and Grubhub refused to refund me saying theyve refunded me on other orders. Was a total scam. What does one have to do with the other. I reported it right away and had it escalated to the supervisor and escalation team and they all had the same terrible rude answers. They were foreign, disrespectful, fraudulent, and worst customer service imaginable. Its not my fault if they mess up an order, or an item is missing or they just dont deliver it, I use this app a lot and was very disappointed this is how they treat people

      8/3 processed delivery order but grub hub claims it's a pick up order and that is not correct the restaurant was waiting on door grub hub to pick up and they never did. Spoke with grub hub they refused to refund me for the food only the tip. The fact they acknowledge there was a tip let's you know that it was a delivery order

      I am filing this complaint because Grubhub has unfairly restricted my account with no valid explanation. I placed an order through their app, but the delivery driver falsely marked the order as delivered, even though I never received the food.I immediately reported the issue, and Grubhub issued me both a credit and a refund, which I appreciated. However, when I attempted to place a new order shortly afterward, the app blocked me from ordering, displaying a message saying: Contact the merchant. When I called Grubhub customer support, I was told that my account was under review.Since then, I have called multiple times, and every representative repeats the same scripted response that my account is under review and they cant provide any further details or timeframe. Its been an ongoing issue with no resolution, no transparency, and no accountability from Grubhub.I have not violated any policies and simply reported a legitimate service failure. Its unfair to be penalized for using their system correctly. I am requesting that my account be fully restored, or at the very least, that I receive a clear explanation for the restriction.

    BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.

    BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
