I ordered some food from Mel's Diner through Uber Eats, one of the items I ordered was a waffle and in the picture on Uber Eats there is whipped cream on top of the waffle, whipped cream is not in the add-ons that you pay extra for so when a person looks at the picture they figure whipped cream is included with the price of the waffle well I received the waffle no whipped cream so this is basically false advertising because the pictures Uber Eats get would be from the restaurant...read full review
