I like the overall game but there are a couple things that could make it better. One: the items are really small, particularly condiments, and they're almost indistinguishable from the entree. So you go slower, but the customers just keep coming. Two: you need the upgrades to win the higher levels, but you don't earn enough for them by half. It's quickly becoming no fun.

I really love this game and have been playing it for quite a while. But it's obviously a paywall game. Pay to play. They are looking for any kind of money at any turn they can get from you. I've reached a point in the restaurants where all of the levels are providing 50 to 100 coins for a win however the first star upgrade for all of the appliances is around 5,000 coins. It's virtually impossible to pass any of the levels without a booster or paying for gems because you just cannot get enough

Disappointing. I played on facebook first so was surprised when the game offered facebook connect but didn't save the levels cross platform. Cheap cash grab on both platforms. The only way to beat some levels is by having certain power ups. This is a usual for time management games. There are points when you dont earn enough coins for the powerups. You cant play old levels to get coins or get them from failed levels. To get coins you need to watch ads. Sometimes checking in over days.

Fun but a shameless cash grab. Been playing this game for years and it is becoming more evident that it is pay to win. As others have said, some levels cannot be beaten without boosters, which cost gems, which cost money. It is intentional as level starts and first person doesn't order until 10 or so seconds into the game. Becoming less fun and more frustrating.

Levels are fun to start. Once I got in to the donut shop it seems like more levels required powerups to complete. The last level seems impossible even with multiple powerups. I am bummed because I enjoyed playing the game but won't pay to advance, I enjoy a challenge but this seems overly challenging for a free game. I don't mind waiting and saving up for extras but they seem more difficult to earn later in the game.

I really wanted to give the game a chance, but I agree with what others said. They make it too difficult to win, it's designed for you to fail, very quickly you can't win without boosters, and it really is frustrating and stressful. I give it 2 stars b/c initially it does start off fun, good graphics,and it has potential. However, rather than continue the frustration, I decided to move on to more relaxing games that I enjoy so I don't feel like I'm actually at work.

I think its a great game, it can be rather difficult as you advance in levels. This cooking game puts your hand and eye coordination skills to the test. I actually think it is one of the better cooking games. It is similar in mechanics in comparison to the others but the fast pace plating of food, colorful characters & bonus opportunities sets it apart from other cooking games or gives it its own uniqueness rather.

Game started off fun but once you get to higher levels you're forced to spend money to advance. Some levels like the combo levels are next to impossible to beat unless you get a boost to do so which is never an option when you watch the ad to get a boost. So either you spend money or wait weeks and weeks to accumulate 50 diamonds just to get 3 freeze boosts. It's frustrating and even then you still will fail at the level.

This game is super enjoyable, but once you get into new cities it becomes pay to win. It goes from being able to upgrade your kitchen with 1000 coins for a new appliance up to 10,000 or more per upgrade. With no option to transfer coins from other cities and no option to buy coins only gems, it could cost $25 for one simple upgrade. Please let us keep our coins from other cities or just pay a set price for the whole damn game.

Very well made , though my problem is the ads. They pop up every now and then after I win a level. Keeps me occupied during my times AND entertaining when you have nothing else to do. Other problem is when you're making the food too many customers come one after the other. And don't wait very long too be served. But, overall I like it. I give it a five star review. 🥰🌺

I like these games but this one is impossible without constantly purchasing the aids. First restaurant is super easy. Couldn't even complete the second and I purchased some of the aids. I even watched ads to get aids but still impossible without purchasing extra time. So I did once but then next level the same. So uninstalled. Too bad, I would have kept playing it but it became too stressful

Absolutely designed to make you spend gems, boosters, spend money, or watch a ton of ads. ESPECIALLY the events. Constant pushes for microtransactions. To top it off, it gets stuck on "loading" when trying to update avatar or nickname. I got rid of ads because I was enjoying the game. I'm uninstalling it because it became unnecessarily difficult and stressful before the end of the second restaurant.

I downloaded this game last week and have been really enjoying it. However, it quit working this morning. The game will load, but not pop anything up to allow you to start level or travel between cities. I cleared the cache thinking that might help, but it still is malfunctioning. Developers, please help this issue. Great game when it works though. I will gladly give 5 stars when the issue is resolved.

Gameplay is addictive, but it's super annoying to keep playing when you get bombarded with in game and other app ads every two seconds. The second the game launches, they shove a bunch of the in game purchase options at you, then every time you complete a level a random app ad will come up, and then once that's done even more in game sales are shoved in your face. There's no option to go straight to the next level and you're constantly being shuffled from menu to menu

Update: Developers, that didn't work. The servers don't have the correct information. And yes, I'm linked to FB. Stop taking my progress away! Every so often, but more often then not, I'll upgrade something, play the game with no issues, come back the next day and some times hours later with the upgraded item no longer upgraded, but yet the coins used to upgrade it are gone. So then i have to build the coins back up to simply upgrade again.

Been looking for a new cooking game to play and I'm really good at these games. At first it was fun but it's not too long before they make it absolutely impossible to pass a level without boosts and even then you cant pass. And you can't earn boosts for free you have to pay! And for most levels you have to use diamonds for an extra 30 seconds to get more people because it is truly not enough time to pass the level and you only have 5 lives and then you have to wait 30mins if you run out.

Only giving it a 4 out of 5 because it stops being enjoyable when you get to a new map. It's impossible to build up your coins to upgrade things like you need to. PLEASE let us carry our coins over to new cities. Or give us an Option to purchase coins, because it's just annoying at this point. You get into the game, get into a groove, and then you're stunted by the first place on new maps.

Very addictive and fun YET once I got to the third city, I noticed the opportunity to win coins for upgrades become significantly harder. You can't get through the levels without upgrades and you can get upgrades without beating the levels to win coins OR there's always the option to spend real money on a game designed for you to fail. Time to uninstall and try a different one.

Waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy too many indiscretionsary ads! Like, every two levels. Otherwise, it's a great cooking challenge game. And in response to the developer, there are tons of great games I've played free that don't bombard me with ads like this one. Sure, there are ads in those games, but not as obnoxiously as this one does. Sorry, but my 3* review stands, as the ad amount certainly detracts from the enjoyment for me.

Everything fixed immediately by the vendor. Currently still playing after years and trying many, many others. Love this game!! Keep it up!! Recent update no longer allowing payments. After the recent fall update, i can no longer access payment options when needed. Wrote emails to vendor with no response. This is awful as it is my favorite game, and am 2 maps away from finishing the game. 😭😭 I have played for a few years, and sad that I cant move forward and with lack of response from vendor.
