### 2/5 — Ruined by “AI”

*2026-07-24, version 8.28.0*

A once-cool app ruined by useless, creepy “agentic” features. The platform decay is real.

### 3/5 — Debbie

*2026-07-22, version 8.28.0*

Not sure keeps telling me can’t deliver to my address

### 3/5 — Ehh

*2026-06-13, version 8.22.0*

I keep getting random errors when trying to get my food

### 1/5 — Never get my full order half the time I can’t order from certain places

*2026-05-12, version 8.18.0*

Barely ever got the order I pay for half the time people leave out things I had a cookie with a bite taken out of it drivers need to be better at their jobs and pay more the other day someone dumped a whole bag of someone else’s McDonald’s on my porch and we left it and they never came back for it so the birds had good meal

### 1/5 — Forced into batched orders

*2026-05-08, version 8.17.2*

No way to get priority so LONG delivery times

### 1/5 — Sill crashing

*2026-04-29, version 8.16.0*

Latest update still crashes. Now within seconds of trying to scroll through a menu.

### 2/5 — Not worth it anymore

*2026-03-19, version 8.10.0*

When I first joined the company, I was attracted by the promise of immediate delivery upon ordering from a store. As a DoorDash partner, I expected a streamlined service that would eliminate the frustrations of waiting for different orders to arrive. The appeal of paying a premium for this exclusivity made the service feel special.

However, over the past year, I have experienced significant declines in customer service, particularly when mistakes occur. Refunds for missing items or undelivered orders are infrequent, leaving me questioning the reliability of the service.

Moreover, the exclusivity I once enjoyed has diminished. The company has shifted to a model similar to other food delivery services, prioritizing order delivery based on proximity to the driver rather than the sequence of orders. As a result, my food often arrives cold.

I am disappointed that the original promise of prompt delivery seems to have been abandoned. This will likely be my last year using this service, as I had hoped my feedback would prompt a return to their original commitment, but that has not been the case. I sincerely hope that the company treats its delivery drivers with the respect they deserve.

### 1/5 — Banned my account

*2026-02-27, version 8.7.0*

My order was taken by someone else so I requested a refund. They said wait an hour and never got it so I requested a refund again and they banned my account. I’m never using door dash or Caviar again.

### 1/5 — Canceling is a pain

*2026-02-21, version 8.6.0*

If you try to cancel within second of submitting an order, they’re won’t refund you. So triple check the address you’re picking up from. Don’t assume it’s the location you think it is.

### 1/5 — Dashers never follow delivery instructions

*2026-02-12, version 8.5.0*

Dashers leave the food on the floor outside despite clear instructions in multiple languages asking them not to do this. If you want to eat cold food of the floor like a dog this is the app for you.

### 1/5 — Prom code Doesn’t work

*2026-02-07, version 8.4.0*

Tenonfood for your 1st order does not work. False

### 1/5 — NO TO ADDED STOPS

*2026-02-03, version 8.4.0*

what is with the added stops? when did they implement this change? all it does in make the customer wait while the laborer
is forced to do more work, and caviar im sure benefits the most from this. it's tech start up BS and i'm deleting
my account and the app as soon as my sad, cold, delayed order arrives.

### 1/5 — Nothing New

*2026-01-07, version 8.0.0*

I find the cost and FEATURES of the app are identical to all others. 
For example, with an app called CAVIAR, one would expect more customization options, - additional spaces for preferences/requests.
it’s no better organized or intuitive than others. For all intents and purposes it’s identical.

### 1/5 — Lies

*2025-12-21, version 7.49.0*

Beware. If you downloaded this app expecting the $10 off your first order, they will argue you and try to state the promo code is expired. There’s no expiration date and it’s the first picture you see when download the app. Scammers

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Zero on support

*2026-08-19, version 8.32.0*

There is absolutely nowhere to insert your thoughts concerns, trying to find support on this site is extremely difficult. I’ve been trying to give it a chance, but it’s a problem.

### 1/5 — Fees are too high to justify using any longer

*2026-08-13, version 8.31.0*

Each city should start a municipal food delivery service that employees any resident of the city to deliver food for no fees anywhere and paid for by a wealth tax on the wealthy that raise prices in that city.

### 1/5 — Multiple location algorithm is terrible

*2026-08-12, version 8.31.0*

The service from this app is terrible. You can complain about the restaurant or the driver, but every problem stems from Caviar itself, and there’s no way to provide feedback to them. As a tech company, don’t they want to improve or collect data? It’s a joke

### 1/5 — Stop using AI

*2026-08-05, version 8.30.0*

Menu items have made up descriptions using AI that do not represent the actual dish from the restaurant.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-07-25, version 8.28.0*

Very little restaurant selection. Customer service is hard to get a hold of and you’ll be lucky if you get someone without an attitude. And I purchased their year’s membership and still have to pay a ton in fees.

### 1/5 — Caviar (owned by Door Dash) does not support DC autonomy

*2026-07-23, version 8.28.0*

I have probably spent tens of thousands of dollars through Caviar/DD. Deleted my account after watching Rep Comer list your company as a supporter of legislation telling myself and my neighbors that we shouldn’t be able to vote for tax cuts. 

This effort is going to die in the Senate, so a huge congratulations to your government affairs team on squandering whatever goodwill you had in the city. I’ll share with any of your DC users that you betrayed our Constitutional rights over 20 cents.

### 1/5 — Time scam

*2026-07-09, version 8.26.0*

Says a time, delivers 30 minutes later.

### 1/5 — Just a skin

*2026-07-08, version 8.26.0*

It’s just a skin of DoorDash not anything else Apple should remove it

### 1/5 — Absolute Joke

*2026-06-20, version 8.23.0*

$30 for a $16 meal to be delivered 10 minutes away, only for it to take 70 minutes and the food to be cold. Customer service’s answer? An $8 refund. Pathetic.

### 1/5 — No refund

*2026-05-29, version 8.20.0*

They won’t give a full refund when food will be 90 minutes late due to their lack of drivers.

### 5/5 — This was great

*2026-06-09, version 8.22.0*

I’m killin’ it with deliveries now. Thx (;

### 5/5 — Alll good

*2026-03-11, version 8.9.0*

All is good 👍

### 5/5 — The Gift that kept giving!

*2026-03-07, version 8.8.0*

My Sister in law sent me a gift card as a gift. I have been able to order several wonderful meals since receiving it for Christmas. It has been so great and convenient, always great service. 
I am very Grateful and Happy.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-02-12, version 8.5.0*

Love using the Caviar app for my food deliveries. Great choices, quality control, and timing! Highly Recommended.

### 5/5 — Fancier Options

*2025-12-31, version 7.51.0*

I like this app over all the rest because it has the most options for obscure or cool new hotspots to eat in town!

### 5/5 — Dash pass scam and deceptive practice

*2025-12-18, version 7.49.0*

I am so mad at this app, I went on vacation to to Florida at one point and order some pizza, and I was in the middle of hanging out with people and somehow must have clicked on something that signed me up to this idiotic dash-pass. I don’t use this app a lot and certainly wouldn’t sign up for a dash pass to save money because I do enjoy cooking and making food for my family. In any case to make a long story short, this app has been signing me up to this dash pass nonsense, which I had no idea I was doing. It is extremely deceptive and it should be illegal how they wire frame their pages. I am going to delete this app after tonight‘s experience. Shame on you and you are truly rotten tomatoes.

### 5/5 — Want option for non stop

*2025-10-25, version 7.41.0*

You’re a premium service but other less premium services offer non stop for a slightly higher fee. You should be the first that does this not the last.

### 5/5 — Catering made so easy

*2025-08-08, version 7.30.1*

I’ve been using Caviar for sometime and love it but it comes in clutch when party planning. I can order everything I need in mins, days in advance. So simple and perfect and the fees are so reasonable.

### 5/5 — Great service!

*2025-04-16, version 7.14.0*

Always great service!

### 5/5 — Super easy

*2024-12-29, version 6.50.0*

Great thing to use if you want great food at home. Concede on the fees and just order some good food. Love it.
