You basically have to pay real money to get enough gold for upgrades. For the love of good change the upgrade mechanic. Make the first level just coins and then a decent level of gold. Don’t buy this game if you don’t want to have to spend a lot of money for the game to be fun. ### 2/5 — Hard to progress *2026-08-25, version 2.28* I honestly love this game. It’s a lot of fun but this game is stingy with giving gold, which as you progress, you need a lot of to upgrade your restaurants. I wish the game was a little more lenient with the gold which is why I gave 2 stars. If the makers start making it somewhat easier, I’ll increase my rating. ### 2/5 — Used to be five stars but…. *2026-08-19, version 2.28* I’ve been playing this game for years, had all the upgrades, all the pets. Then the game crashed, all my progress was lost and it took 5 days for customer care to respond. So I’m starting over. Lame. ### 3/5 — Crashing on specific episode *2026-08-16, version 2.28* The game is fun and I love playing it but when I try to reply Season 2 Episode 8, the app keeps crashing as soon as I hit Start. It doesn’t load and the takes me to the home page. Nothing that the internet or customer support say has helped. When I tried to reply to the customer support chat, I couldn’t get into it. I can’t get past the level or unlock more seasons because of this one episode ### 3/5 — Greed *2026-08-13, version 2.28* I love this game but it’s all about wanting you to spend money, they are making upgrading items so expensive. From someone who has played it growing up, I hate they took away just openly being able to play ### 2/5 — Love *2026-08-11, version 2.28* Takes too long to load ### 1/5 — Pay to progress game *2026-08-04, version 2.28* It’s a great game overall but there are notification bugs all over the place. This game needs a major update and there needs to be more ways to get gold. It’s currently needs a large amount of gold to update the restaurants or even to unlock the other restaurants. There bundles for gold are not great value either there isn’t much incentive to play ### 1/5 — I’ve Experienced All The Symptoms *2026-08-03, version 2.28* I’ve been playing this game for years as well. We been waiting on Ads for gold, Every time you open the App you get an error regarding your internet connection etc. To add to all the other reported issues now my game started over as New. All my progress goooonnnne! No Customer Support feature either. ### 2/5 — Scam Game *2026-07-28, version 2.28* I played really well but it feels like you have to buy things from them to get five star in order to unlock the new levels ### 1/5 — Money hungry unfair game *2026-07-26, version 2.28* Literally impossible to continue the game past series 1 without spending money absolute rip off that ruins the entire game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Changed the whole game *2026-08-29, version 2.28* Why did u change the entire game? ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2026-08-27, version 2.28* The literal meaning of pay-to-win, you can play and 1 star each level but thats about it, you won’t really experience the beauty of the game unless you pay for gold bricks. You should really consider reducing the upgrade prices or do something to gain more gold. ### 1/5 — Game used to be 5 star *2026-08-22, version 2.28* The games are not downloading anymore it’s slow ### 1/5 — Terrible Support *2026-08-21, version 2.28* It’s an ok game but it’s dead and has terrible support. When I contacted them to report missing gold, they said they couldn’t remedy it because it may affect game progress. What nonsense. They’re happy to take money to add gold. It somehow works then. ### 1/5 — Broken *2026-08-21, version 2.28* My trial of style has been broken for 2 months and customer support has stopped answering me to help. Free gold is also now gone, so you have to spend money to get anywhere in this game. Edit: still does not work after 8 months and multiple attempts to talk to customer care ### 1/5 — Shame *2026-08-19, version 2.28* The game is good, but am getting pretty frustrated. Firstly, it is so glitchy, the trial of style never seems to download and I frequently have to wait for the venues to download on a daily basis. Secondly, you can’t really do much of anything unless u buy gold. I’m all for supporting games by buying a bit here and there, but it is very hard to progress without buying. Sadly, I think it’s time to look for a new game 😔 ### 1/5 — Season 2 episode 8 of Strakhouse *2026-08-17, version 2.28* I keep trying to open this level and it brings my back to my home screen. How do I fix this?? ### 1/5 — There is Good and there is bad *2026-08-15, version 2.28* It’s a fun game in an overall spectrum but the lack of support from the creators, the glitches constantly, I have 35 so called messages that don’t exist and don’t go away. You struggle to make any gold…obviously a ploy to make you purchase it. It needs a lot of updating. ### 1/5 — Sigh *2026-08-14, version 2.28* There’s never any ad videos to skip wait time! ### 1/5 — Review *2026-08-12, version 2.28* Game is not loading properly and not having as much fun as I use to with the game. Wheel won’t let me spin as well. It only takes me to the chances of winning the prizes somehow something went wrong with the update on privacy policy it hasn’t been right since. 😑. Thank you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — More game options *2026-08-22, version 2.28* I love playing this game and giving you my money, but where are the new games ### 5/5 — Tapjoy Offer Wall is not working *2026-08-21, version 2.28* All offers in Tapjoy Offer Wall end up with this error message, both iOS and Android: Request failed Error occurs when retrieving request data. Please try again. ### 5/5 — DOWNLOAD NOW *2026-08-21, version 2.28* This game is so good even tho it was around when my mum was my age but it’s really fun and add free there’s no problem with this gem if you really want to challenge yourself download this now just wait till you get to level 10🥲 ### 5/5 — Challenging Game- no ads *2026-08-21, version 2.28* We absolutely love this game. It’s very challenging. It depends on skill and not luck. There are no ads, which is great. I just wish they would make more levels. They have not added anything new to this game in the last two years. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-08-19, version 2.28* Improved over the years. Love to play. Glitch with “special” (not sure what to call it) days when levels don’t require supplies etc. ### 5/5 — جيد *2026-08-16, version 2.28* جيد جداً ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-08-16, version 2.28* This game helps me relax, and I’m wearing from busy days ### 5/5 — Best game *2026-08-10, version 2.28* This the only game I’ve played for years. Bugs need to be fixes bcuz sometimes it doesn’t load, I’ll literally delete and redownload the game. I love this game. Add more challenges. ### 5/5 — Good Game *2026-07-29, version 2.28* this game is fun and all but it gets really difficult after the first 5 levels ### 5/5 — It’s a nice game for the kids, not same supercell ID they are very shame about this company. *2026-07-26, version 2.28* I love this game It’s nice for the kids and for the family also your mom also she play this game and don’t let the kids throw the money in supercell ID they steal from the people and they give it to the thief and they tell you the games that they were returned. It’s back. You will begin from the beginning if you are 140 you will be in the game and this year level 1 or 6 😱😱😱 don’t throw your money in this game your data it will be lost and the company they don’t care about your money they will never return it because all the years you throw it and you didn’t never return it back when I was kid. I played cooking dash this game in the windows I have it also in Mac all device now I play it again.
