I am used to being able to click twice on something to pick two items up (like two pancake batters). It’s annoying that it just clears my attempt to pick anything up. Other games allow you to double click and get two items. ### 3/5 — Not a favourite *2022-06-19* Is an ok game ### 2/5 — Terribly slow *2022-01-16, version 4.12.51* I lost interest in the first two to three levels. The girl walk terribly slow. The graphics was terrible as well so small I could barely see what or how to do anything. It’s hard to believe Gamehouse seriously downgraded as such. ### 3/5 — Only 4 restaurants!?!?!? *2021-09-29, version 4.12.50* It’s a fun game but there’s only 4 restaurants. Please tell me there will be more….. ### 3/5 — Just 4 restaurants? *2021-08-08, version 04.12.49* I enjoy the game a lot… but are there really only the 4 restaurants then the game is over? Are any more going to be added? ### 2/5 — I want to play! *2021-06-28, version 04.12.49* Won’t play ### 2/5 — Cool *2021-06-24, version 04.12.49* Do not like the changes that were made to the story scenes and the refills of the products per game is still OK ### 2/5 — Double tap *2021-06-17, version 04.12.49* I like the game as a whole but please fix to allow a double tap. The play would be so much smoother if the player was allowed to pick up an item twice without it ceasing play. ### 2/5 — Can’t play ads *2021-06-14, version 4.12.47* The game is good but each time I want to load the next level, the advert won’t load and I get an error message. ### 2/5 — Downgrade *2021-06-13, version 4.12.47* This game is a downgrade compared to other GH games. The graphics are ok but could be better. The last section, there were 10 levels after I purchased all the upgrades that seemed exactly the same. It became tedious. There’s absolutely no justification for charging as much as they do for it. It’s a $2.99 at best. ### 1/5 — Rip-off *2021-06-04, version 4.12.47* This game is just a rip off of diner dash. I prefer the older mechanics of the delicious, Angela, and Sally games. Even their newest release before this one had the same mechanics so I’m not sure why they decided to do this crap. ### 2/5 — So Disappointed!! *2021-06-03, version 4.12.47* This is not the usual good quality of games, that are usually offered by Gamehouse. I’m speechless at this point; so, I’ll wait for the next one, before I move away from Gamehouse. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disappointed in GameHouse *2025-07-03, version 4.12.54* I bought this game a while ago, and now I can’t play it without a subscription. I understand you want more money, and I was fine with no longer playing any of your new games because of the new pricing scheme, but to not allow me to play a game I’ve already paid for is shady. ### 1/5 — Hate it, poor quality *2022-11-04, version 4.12.51* This game is not Gamehouse quality and not worth the price. Slow, outdated game. I couldn’t finish it, played a few levels before quitting and I normally love Gamehouse games. A few games in a row now have been so bad I quit and did not buy. Gamehouse please do something constructive with these reviews and listen to your customers. The general feeling is we all want you to get back to producing more Emily Delicious type games and similar. ### 1/5 — Disingenuous *2022-03-04, version 4.12.51* It’s an okay game as it’s free if you watch the Ads. BUT on level 3 it has suddenly no option to watch Ads . The option’s disappeared The only option is to BUY the game for £8.99 ! I believe the owners of the game want to hook you in, so that you like the game so much you’d be desperate to pay for it . How disingenuous is that . I’ve bought loads of Gamehouse games in the past and this is how Gamehouse treats their loyal customers. Disgusting ! They should reprimanded by Apple . I’ve read other reviews for other games by Gamehouse and this seems to be their usual practice . They advertise the entire game is free if you watch the Ads and after certain levels they stop the Ads . It’s not right or fair . A lot of people are struggling because of Covid and for Gamehouse to pull such a trick on people is vile . ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-10-15, version 4.12.51* Such a disappointment compared to all GH games this is not worth the $9.99 they are charging. I won’t buy full version until they update. Very slow action. Thumbs all the way down. ### 1/5 — Crashing *2021-08-17, version 04.12.49* My internet is fine but the game won’t let me pass the first level.🙈.. enjoy the game but it’s so frustrating! ### 1/5 — Disappointed! *2021-07-27, version 04.12.49* I didn’t get very far before I realized this isn’t a great game! Nowhere near the standard I expect from Gamehouse! ### 1/5 — How is this a Gamehouse Original Stories game? *2021-07-22, version 04.12.49* It’s so awkward and basic, it feels like it was developed 10 years ago. Deleted before I finished the third episode. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2021-07-15, version 04.12.49* Looks like a nice game but sadly I can't continue playing as from level 6 because the ad won’t play and keeps asking me to restart the application 🙄🙄 ### 1/5 — Laggy *2021-07-11, version 04.12.49* Why is this Gamehouse game so laggy? I am having trouble even picking up food Slowly! I have purchased every game thus far but will wait for smoother play for this one. ### 1/5 — Unbelievably awful *2021-06-09, version 4.12.47* I cannot say how disappointed in Game House I am. This is boring, glitchy, non-responsive, and absolutely NO FUN! What happened to your inventiveness, story-making, and high quality? Just pathetic. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love *2024-07-21, version 4.12.54* Please do a part 2 of this game. This game is fun! ### 5/5 — LOVE THIS GAME! *2021-06-28, version 04.12.49* These are my favorite type of games and this game is by far the best! I hate when the game gets too hard and you need to spend real money on power ups. This game goes off of your ability to multitask and allows you to work towards your upgrades! I’m sad I finished this game but now I’m hooked onto GameHouse 😊 ### 5/5 — Love this game! *2021-06-06, version 4.12.47* I’m almost finished playing all of the levels. I hope more levels ate added!! ### 5/5 — Hi *2021-06-01, version 4.12.47* Need more finish them all , love it ### 5/5 — Different for Gamehouse but fun *2021-05-30, version 4.12.47* This is different from the usual games but I like it. More realistic as far as running a restaurant. Seems like a variety of things to do. ### 4/5 — Take it for what it is *2023-06-01, version 4.12.51* I see a lot of complaints about how this is low quality for GameHouse. It’s true that it’s not their typical story driven game. But if you enjoy an easy, mindless restaurant game to pass time look no further. It’s not bad, just different. ### 4/5 — Good game! *2021-09-10* Great game! Does have a few glitches that need to be fixed up, such as being unable to do anything with certain food items in your hands and sometimes you are unable to give Scott takeaway orders to make - assume these are just technical glitches. After these get fixed up it will be a fun game 👍🏼 **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. Are you having trouble with the game?

Not being able to quickly click on an item twice if I need 2 of them is horrible - I have to wait until she gets there then click it again once she’s picked it up, or it’ll cancel the command AND she’ll walk away from it. Really weird decision for this one game in my opinion from a company that makes so many similar games ### 4/5 — Interesting but hangs *2021-08-06, version 04.12.49* The game itself is interesting but the ads dont load most times n you have to try 5 to 6 times before the game would load. That is very frustrating. ### 4/5 — Really liked it until it wouldn’t let me play *2021-07-21, version 04.12.49* I was really enjoying it and now im at chapter 2. I tried loading level 1 but it says there’s a connectivity issue and it can’t load? Tried restarting the game but it still won’t work. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
