WAS a great, fun, original game… NOW an impossible money grabber

I downloaded this game at least 6 years ago, and was enthralled from the first level. It was exactly how the ads showed - you build recipes to complete orders and upgrade/restore different kitchens. The game was challenging, especially the middle/upper levels of each restaurant when you haven’t upgraded the kitchen enough, but you could complete them after a few tries, or with the occasional boosters. But life happens and I stopped playing about a year ago (summer 2025). I picked up the game again in Dec 2025, but I found it a lot harder than I remembered. I chalked it up to being rusty, so I put it aside until summer 2026. This time I really wanted to complete the restaurant as I only had 12 full levels left, so I focused and let myself lose until I felt like I was comfortable and should be able to beat the levels. But I didn’t, and quickly realized that I never would without using gems AND boosters. I gave it up again for a month, and just opened it 8/4/26 to try one more time. Sure enough, level 757–2 needs 1000 coins in 60 seconds. My entire kitchen is fully upgraded, and I know I have completed that in the past without boosters. But the number of customers that I was getting and the orders that are requesting and no points without using boosters. So I’m done.

I have always spent over $200 through the years on this game because I like to support games that reward you with fair and consistent play. This WAS that game; I’m sad that it isn’t anymore. Also all the annoying mini games that pop up are exactly like every other game out there. So I’ll move back to my other games, that’s still challenge me but reward my Fairplay. Sorry Chef & Friends y’all had a great thing going.

Fun and challenging game

Love the game the only problem I have, is the coins(money) is not interchangeable per chapter. I’ll spend money to purchase more coins to pass the level then once I’m on the next chapter it’s unless.

It would be helpful to be able to exchange coins for a lesser value once you’re on the next chapter or even just not have different coin type.

Like many other people said, it becomes impossible to pass levels without paying for gems and boosters.

Even if you do make purchases it’s unless once you move to the next chapter.

Amazing game!

This game is very fun to play and is actually one of the only games I play now, usually I get quite bored of games and end up deleting them but this not one of them, I love the different levels and varieties of foods to unlock!

Response from developer

Hi Chef!! Thanks for the great rating! Your feedback is truly appreciated. Enjoy the game! ✨

Fun game

This game is so fun

MONEY GRAB

This game is PLAYABLE for about two restaurants (which took me about 2 hours), but after that it gets impossibly difficult to the point where you HAVE to spend money to continue on.

Getting gems is nearly impossible and the only free way to receive boosters. Not to mention, what it COSTS to purchase gems or perks is outrageous. $20 is not worth passing a handful of levels before I need to pay again.

Ultimately you’re better off playing Diner Dash. At least there the levels are difficult but don’t require you to break the bank to play.
