Sooooo unless you wanna pay for gems I would delete it. ### 4/5 — Ads stick *2026-08-25, version 27.1.3* Enjoy playing the game but the ads are annoying they stick so you can’t get back to playing which is really frustrating. I often end up leaving the game. ### 4/5 — Good game *2026-08-25, version 27.1.3* Brilliant addictive game ### 3/5 — Technical error *2026-08-25, version 27.1.3* Updated: And now after trhe update, it is saying, server is not responding. Please fix it. I really want to play the game. previous report: so much technical error. When i buy something, then the error comes and i have to buy the thing again after restarting the app. ### 4/5 — SOS *2026-08-24, version 27.1.3* 很好玩，很有挑战性，但是钻石太难获得了，有的时候不是速度和反应不行，单纯只是钻石不够不能升级，可以多出一点可以获得💎的活动吗 ### 2/5 — fell off a cliff *2026-08-24, version 27.1.3* i used to play this game for hours about 10 years ago but now its just so pay to do well you used to be able to fly through levels like fun now its a money grind ### 3/5 — 到底应该怎么获取钻石，只能充钱么？ *2026-08-24, version 27.1.1* 一天只要一有空就开始玩，但是手就算拉满了，也会只能拿到一星，因为我的设备真的太差了，但是不往下打的话又拿不到钻石升级不了设备，不知道到底要怎么玩 ### 2/5 — Too many Ads *2026-08-24, version 27.1.1* I love this game, but it’s so hard to play the game with the amount of nonstop ads. ### 3/5 — Good game but… *2026-08-23, version 27.1.1* I enjoy the game, but I’m disappointed with the way the diamond rewards are handled. I watch the videos to receive free diamonds, but I do not receive the promised reward after watching them. All of the videos are excessively long. It feels as though the game is making it difficult to earn diamonds for free, leaving purchasing them as the only reliable option. I refuse. ### 3/5 — Cooking Fever *2026-08-23, version 27.1.1* The game is addictive and fun to play but it doesn’t let me use my gems. Whenever I try use my gems it shows server error i have over 15 gems which i could use towards my kitchen upgrades but it doesn’t let me do so. Please update and fix this issue for me ### 2/5 — Money greedy *2026-08-23, version 27.1.1* This game said if I downloaded another one of their games I would get 5 free gems but after I downloaded it I go nothing.If you don’t fix it I will be deleting this game.Do not recommend ### 4/5 — Server not responding when I buy more than one item *2026-08-23, version 27.1.1* One of my favourite games ever! Unfortunately I’m having an issue with the new restaurant where every time I buy a second item, the screen says server not responding. When I go out of the game and back in, the purchases have not saved. Any idea of how I can fix this? Thanks! ### 3/5 — AD/VIDEOS WILL NOT CEASE *2026-08-23, version 27.1.1* Says no ads if you pay. Doesn’t matter either way! Ad starts and will not stop. No way to exit out. Will not stop unless you come back a while or even hours later. I have never experienced this type of glitch. ### 2/5 — No option to exit the game? *2026-08-22, version 27.1.1* Could be a fun game but I couldn’t find a way to exit the game. I had to shut down the iPad and restart in order to get out of the game. Uninstalled. ### 4/5 — DIAMONDS! *2026-08-21, version 27.1.1* Absolutely great game it is my go to game as it is very addictive and I love it however the amount of gems they ask you for upgrades is outrageous like 9 gems!for a cooker!It’s a robbery!and they are so hard to get hold of.And the casino is no help as in my 3 years of playing this game I have never once earned a single gem off the casino it’s pretty much impossible I have checked out many other reviews and the developers response is the same “glad to hear you are enjoying our game sorry for any inconvenience with getting gems still check us out on Facebook page”Like what!Atleast take some interest in our reviews ### 3/5 — To hard to get diamonds *2026-08-21, version 27.1.1* Great game but it takes hours to get diamonds and farming with the casino hardly ever gives diamonds at all, the only way mostly now to get diamonds is daily quests but you still don’t get many diamonds which you need for almost every upgrade ### 2/5 — Too Difficult to get gems *2026-08-21, version 27.1.1* Nice game but essentially you have to pay to progress. Can probably do first 2-3 kitchens but that’s it. Deleting ### 3/5 — Fun but frustrating *2026-08-21, version 27.1.1* This game is fun and addicting but you never get gems and everything cost gems to upgrade or advance or unlock new restaurants. There are a lot of bugs too that cause “technical errors” just randomly and out of nowhere. Spend money to get rid of ads but then you have ads again 30 days later. Everything is just a money grab. ### 4/5 — Good *2026-08-21, version 27.1.1* I played most of the time when i’m at home but sometimes idk what is the problem it lagged but when i bought kitchen items and play the game already then quit and when i get back the game it dont have the kitchen items that i bought before that kind of lagged pisssed me sometimes but 70% satisfied with the game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DONT PLAY IF BROKE *2026-08-25, version 27.1.3* They want you to keep buying JEMS everything cost jems it’s literally so ANNOYING u need jems to go to the next place level and need jems to be able to buy kitchen stuff to get stars but they wanna be stingy with giving jems I HATE THE JEM PROBLEM THEY WANT U TI SPEND MONEY to be able to have jems like bruh ts sucks ### 1/5 — Ads Are Too Much *2026-08-23, version 27.1.1* This game was fun before the ads. The ads are too long and you can’t close them. I have to exit the app and come back. iPhone 17 Pro Max. ### 1/5 — The game crashes *2026-08-23, version 27.1.1* I can't get into the game. The first page loads, then a window for buying diamonds appears, and the game crashes. I can't play. Please fix this. ### 1/5 — Tremenda mierda *2026-08-22, version 27.1.1* Cojes una carne de hamburguesa la pones encima del pan y no la coloca, tienes que repetir 70 veces hasta que por fin la consigues poner y el cliente ya se ha ido y se te ha quemado el resto de carne que tenías cocinando Le he metido un puñetazo al móvil y me lo he borrado Tremenda basura ### 1/5 — unplayable *2026-08-22, version 27.1.1* this used to be my favourite mobile game, but it has quickly dropped to the bottom of the list. ever since the last update, nearly TWO WEEKS AGO, it has become completely unplayable. it started with unavailable ads, then moved to random “server not responding” errors that prevent me from even getting into the app. i have plants in my garden dying because i keep getting booted, and i am unable to purchase any restaurant upgrades. for weeks i’ve been seeing many others complaining about how broken the app is, yet the issues still remain. ### 1/5 — This game is so unfair and greedy oh my goodness *2026-08-22, version 27.1.1* Absolutely too difficult. #sadnow#dislike#heartbreak#😞 ### 1/5 — Glitchy . Timer😰😨😱😬 *2026-08-20, version 27.1.1* 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️Worst game ever ### 1/5 — Lỗi Game *2026-08-20, version 27.1.1* Game bị lỗi rất nhiều, tôi không thể xem quảng cáo dù bình thường vẫn xem được để thu thập kim cương và tiền vàng. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2026-08-20, version 27.1.1* I’m so sick of the customer timer running out when I’m on my last customer, I can never buy gems because it’s expensive for so little gems, you don’t win gems on the casino, and most of all the stupid gem shards need to be more, and why is it if I don’t buy something there’s adds? That’s is so freaking rude and disgusting, it’s like if you’re broke you get adds. Edit: the fact that this games has gotten so many compliments about the gem problem and nothing has been done to change it has proven time and time again this is just any other games that’s a money grab!. ### 1/5 — UNPLAYABLE *2026-08-19, version 27.1.1* The game is literally unplayable. Every 15 to 20 minutes it says the server is no longer responding. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Game *2026-08-25, version 27.1.3* Been playing for a long time . Thank you for fixing the ad glitches! ### 5/5 — The Game *2026-08-24, version 27.1.1* This Game is amazing great fun ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-23, version 27.1.1* I have been on this game for the past 5years I so much love it fr 🥹🖤the fact that it doesn’t get boring makes me love it more ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-21, version 27.1.1* Absolutely love this game I have been playing it for years and now I actually work in a restaurant and it feels like this game love it!!! Highly recommend ### 5/5 — Error *2026-08-20, version 27.1.1* Hello. While I was playing the game, I noticed that the soda dispenser in the Fast Food Court had been upgraded to Level 3, and I believe I had also upgraded the plate in the Flipping Pancakes area. However, at some point, both upgrades seem to have reverted to Level 1. I believe this may be a bug or an error. Could you please check my account and restore the upgrades if possible? ### 5/5 — Please make add free version we will pay!! *2026-08-19, version 27.1.1* Game is great!! Lots of fun! The ads are frustrating to the point we stop playing when they don't work or complete. Please make an option where users can pay to opt out of ads! ### 5/5 — Cooking fever *2026-08-19, version 27.1.1* No:1 game in the world ### 5/5 — Doing great now B) *2026-08-19, version 27.1.1* It’s a pretty smooth sim game, if you ignore all the now AI ads when you ask for them or not. Like any other game, it gives you tasks to earn rewards and all and it bugs on my mind not-so-badly. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-15, version 27.1.1* I love the game so much I play it every day , I like to play different levels at a time . Once I did the update the game requires me to do , my game won’t work no more. Im kinda sad I can’t play my favorite game no more. ### 5/5 — I can’t play at the moment *2026-08-15, version 27.1.1* The game keeps saying the server is not responding and to try again in 15 minutes but It’s been this way for 14 hours now, please fix this!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
