### "Great app that became my go to food app..."

August 26, 2025

5.0

Overall, I've found some of the best restaurants at great prices and was able to support local restaurants when I worked in Hells kitchen NY.

Pros

I discovered GrubHub in 2014 and have not looked back since. It was easy to use with a super short learning curve, I always felt my personal data was secure, for the most part the vakue for money was perfect, I never experienced bugs or issues within the app itself, but when there was an issue on the part of a seller, the customer service communication was always on point and helped if they could. The addition of a favorites feature was needed from day one, so I'm glad it exists now.

Cons

The app didn't always reflect the restaurant I wanted it to. Sometimes, when I think I'm ordering from my local fast food place, I've found it was actually another franchise branch and I didn't want to order from.

### "GrubHub gives easy access to my favorite foods"

December 2, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with GrubHub is great! I am able to view different restaurants around me and find whatever I am craving

Pros

GrubHub makes ordering food easy and convenient. I especially enjoy using it if I've had a long day and do not feel like going back out for food

Cons

Recently I find the fees associated with ordering have been really high, so I've been using the app less.

### "Area dependent, lots of fees"

June 19, 2025

3.0

Our experience was not fantastic. The fees are high and we simply didn't get the amount of orders from GrubHub as we did other apps. During Covid, Grubhub was fantastic. Since post covid, it has not been a popular option in our area. DoorDash and UberEats have taken over as the dominate providers.

Pros

It enables restaurants to increase their sales and exposure, bringing in new customers that may have otherwise not tried our restaurant.

Cons

The fees. While I understand they have to make money as well, knowing what they charge the customers on top of the fees they press onto us, it can discourages customers. We have to increase our prices on Grubhub to offset fees, leading customers to think we are not as affordable as we actually are.

Reason for choosing GrubHub

We did not, we tried using all available services to see which did the best. We ultimatley discovered grubhub was not as popular in our area. The most used apps in our area were DoorDash and UberEats.

### "A Useful Tool, but Not a True Partnership"

December 31, 2025

5.0

From a restaurateur’s perspective, Grubhub offers reach but at a steep cost. It’s a marketing tool, that’s it. Commission fees are high, and when problems occur, restaurants often carry the financial burden. It’s a tool, not a partnership, and other owners should go in with eyes open.

Pros

Grubhub does provide additional visibility and access to customers who may not otherwise discover our business. The platform is familiar to many users, making it easy for customers to order, and it can generate incremental sales during slower periods when managed strategically.

Cons

High commission and service fees substantially reduce margins, and restaurants are often held financially responsible for issues beyond their control, such as driver delays, app errors, or customer disputes. Support can be slow and opaque, and the overall structure feels less like a partnership and more like a cost of doing business that increasingly favors the platform over small, local restaurants.

### "Grub Hub is my go do when I don't want to cook"

September 11, 2025

5.0

Pros

I like GrubHub because most of my favorite restaurants are on their and they always provide me some type of refund with the drivers and restaurants mess up my order

Cons

Sometimes the app doesn't allow me to select no ice in my drinks or when I go to order online the app freezes

### "Not having delivery everywhere "

April 24, 2025

3.0

If they had delivery, i could speak of, but with only Pick-Up for us, it didn’t work very well.

Pros

Food delivery software helping businesses increase sales and orders

Cons

Not available everywhere, in our Tourist Town there is only Pick-Up available, which doesn’t contribute to our sales at all…

### "Grubhub has a great foundation but needs a little work."

April 25, 2022

5.0

Pros

What I like the most about GrubHub is the customer service. They have a chatline that is filled with real people who are ready to help you with whatever issue you may be facing at that current moment. Another thing that I also like about GrubHub is that they were the first and only food delivery service to reach out to a platform (In Grubhub's case, Amazon with Amazon Prime for students) to tackle the convenience issue for students in regards to food delivery. They offer free delivery and promo codes with huge discounts for students that is so helpful and should continue.

Cons

What I do like least about GrubHub is the coverage, if that makes sense. Compared to UberEats and DoorDash where drivers are quickly responding to orders placed by customers. I have had to cancel and order and was close to canceling one until customer service found me a driver.

### "Grubhub is a Good Option for Food Delivery"

April 18, 2023

4.0

I use GrubHub along with other delivery services. They are as effective as the others and sometimes have good promtions.

Pros

Grubhub has a lot of restaurant options and is use to use. They deliver fast in my area.

Cons

The app has limited items and some offer few customizations but typically this isn't a big problem.

### "Gurbhub is my least favorite app to get Grub."

April 16, 2023

3.0

It's wasn't bad but it did not stand out as a particularly amazing app.

Pros

The app is easy to use. The delivery tracking is accurate as well.

Cons

There were not as many Mom and Pop restaurants as I found on DoorDash. It also did not give me deals and promotions like UberEast does.

### "Don't waste your time. "

May 1, 2025

1.0

It's seriously not worth the aggravation to try to use this company. Even when you try to be nice about the order being incorrect the most you'll get is a $5 or $10 coupon if you can wade through to the manager.

Pros

Drivers try to work hard. Tip them good if you can.

Cons

Always a problem with this company. Food is never correct and the last thing they want to do is try to help you. Don't waste your time. Get in your car, jump on your bike and get it yourself. You'll be glad you didn't waste your time waiting for them to get your order to you so you can be PO'd the rest of the night.

### "Great Service For An Extra Fee"

July 30, 2021

4.0

Pros

Grubhub is an amazing tool, allowing users to easily select from a huge variety of restaurants, all with complete menus, to craft a perfect meal to be picked up or delivered straight to your door! Orders are customizable, and can be tracked straight from your phone or computer, and you can even request contactless delivery where the driver will drop off the order at your door and ring your doorbell without a handoff, which was great at the peak of the pandemic!

Cons

Grubhub is great for convenience, though it is certainly more expensive than ordering directly from restaurants. Since Grubhub charges service fees and will take a portion of sales, restaurants can sometimes raise prices of their items on the app, making the meal more expensive than if you were to just call the restaurant directly and pick up from them. If you’re looking for delivery, it can add on quite a bit more, but the convenience may be worth it.

### "A usable food delivery app"

April 18, 2021

5.0

I only use Grubhub when I have a coupon because it is too expensive. If you have a lot of money, then you can order whatever you want.

Pros

Grubhub offers a large selection of restaurants. Whether you want to eat Italian, American, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, you can order food through Grubhub. And Grubhub's coverage area is also very wide. I have not been to a city where Grubhub cannot be used.

Cons

Grubhub is really expensive. First of all, the price of each dish is a certain percentage higher than the price on the restaurant’s menu. Second, you need to pay service fees, shipping, and tips. The price of using Grubhub to order a meal may be 1.5 times that of a meal in a restaurant. Moreover, Grubhub does not support ordering dishes from multiple restaurants at once. Chowbus already supports one-time ordering of dishes from 5 or 6 nearby restaurants, but Grubhub can only order one.

### "My Take on GrubHub"

October 13, 2023

5.0

My overall experience is nice with using GrubHub to order food. Feels nice to use it alongside DoorDash and Uber Eats.

Pros

I like using Grubhub for ordering food as delivery and takeaways. I enjoy getting the foods I wanted to order from and even get nice deals. I got a free year of GrubHub thanks to Amazon Prime Day days ago.

Cons

What I wish that GrubHub can work on is at least have a heads up display for maps what car and what driver is it. I wish it's like on the same page as DoorDash and even for Uber Eats too.

I alternate between GrubHub, Doordash, UberEats and Postmates. So many options to get good food delivered to your door.

Pros

Love the convenience of this app! Ordering food has never been easier.

Cons

The only drawback is the sometimes limited available menu items.

GrubHub takes care of all of the deliveries, giving us more time to focus on customers and quality

Pros

I love that this software takes care of it all, we just have to prepare the food! It manages the drivers and gives us the info we need

Cons

Finding a driver can be tricky sometimes, and customer service isn’t empathetic at all, especially when orders have to be remade due to lack of delivery drivers

### "Affordable Meals"

May 26, 2021

3.0

My overall experience with app was alright, it really depends on the location at which you are using the app as it the number of restaurants using this app can be limited compared to other apps.

Pros

The app provides a decent platform for food delivery and ordering services, with local restaurants. Dpending on the location of the store sometimes this plat form provides cheaper options than other mobile food delivery apps.

Cons

When I first downloaded the app it took a few tries for it to recognize and load the location to show possible options even with strong network bandwidth on my phone. The app however has more average layout and bit of a unclear navigation as to the distance or where your food is . The prices also sometimes goes higher for the delivery and services fees, doesn't seem to have a consistent price (this is not taking into account tips).

July 16, 2021

4.0

Overall, I really like GrubHub the app is super easy to use and even though it does not have all of the restaurants I want to eat from it has enough for me to have it on my phone and use it every once and a while.

Pros

There is a lot to like about GrubHub, it allows access to lots of local restaurants for food delivery. The software is very user friendly. The menu feature that is able to display the options for the restaurants is very well displayed and easy to use. Overall the ease of the software is my favorite thing about it. The app on the phone is a great way to be able to order food when one doesn't feel like going out.

Cons

The worst part of the software is the fact that their is not a ton of options. Due to other rival apps such as doordash or ubereats the restaurants are divided, and not all options are on doordash. This can lead to me using other apps before I use GrubHub just due to the fact that the restaurant I want to eat from is not listed.

Pros

It is very easy to use, its tracker is very accurate, and I get a discount through Amazon Prime.
