Other than that love the game! ### 2/5 — Critical *2026-09-02, version 1.0.110* It’s fun, but they make upgrades so expensive I don’t always play. ### 3/5 — Fun but impossible *2026-07-30, version 1.0.108* I downloaded this game a few weeks ago. After completing the first location, the difficulty level increased. I attempted to play each level using different methods of execution, however, you cannot beat the level unless you purchase upgrades to your equipment. With the amount of coins you receive, it makes it extremely difficult to purchase upgrades without spending real money for coins and diamonds. Not being able to move forward has made me want to delete the app and move on to a different game. They allow an opportunity for you to watch a video for an extra 10 seconds to the level but the extra 10 seconds isn’t nearly enough to get any further. My recommendation would be to make the upgrades cost less so people can enjoy the game. ### 2/5 — Expensive *2026-07-25, version 1.0.108* The game is good but no matter what you do it’s hard to pass the higher level without purchasing anything then u will upgrade 1 thing and your coins will be all gone… i think i spent $100 already to get where i’m at. I have to delete the game before i spend more. ### 4/5 — Help *2026-07-19, version 1.0.108* I’m up to fairy tale world and I can’t continue because I don’t understand how to work the carriage delivery. When and why do I need to change the statue? I really don’t get it please help ### 3/5 — Buddy *2026-07-18, version 1.0.108* Everything is okay but the price offered is expensive for me ### 3/5 — Great app but… *2026-07-14, version 1.0.107* It’s either a glitch or a poor design. You win 950 coins (but don’t actually win the level) and they only give you 95 coins (or make 860 coins, they only give you 86). Makes it IMPOSSIBLE to earn enough to upgrade equipment to actually beat the levels. Do better ### 2/5 — Too difficult *2026-07-03* The game is fun but it is too difficult to complete some levels. Uninstalling because it’s too stressful. **Developer response:** Thank you for playing the game. Levels are designed to be fun and challenging enough. However, we value your feedback and will do our best to make improvement and provide the best balance of difficulties. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to contact us in the game. ### 5/5 — O Jogo é bom, Porém CARO *2026-06-30* A jogabilidade é legal, porém os preço para as melhorias das máquinas, alimentos e funcionários é muito desproporcional ao valor que se ganha nas fases, precisa melhorar nesse quesito urgente, desanima muito. Outra coisa que no meu ponto de vista é muito NEGATIVO, é toda hora ter que melhorar o desempenho dos garçons, é caríssimo, se já fizemos as melhorias, pra que nos fazer gastar tantas moedas? É maisena 2.000 mil moedas por cada garçon. O jogo é bom, porém as fotos não condiz com a realidade. ### 5/5 — No puedo entrar al juego *2026-06-27, version 1.0.105* Me pide q inicie sesión en Facebook y no carga ### 5/5 — Highly recommended *2026-06-24, version 1.0.105* Good game to kill time ### 2/5 — Glitches *2026-06-23, version 1.0.105* This game was fun, at first. But so many glitches. Don’t ever pay for extras, it won’t matter. ### 2/5 — Nearly Impossible to Pass Levels *2026-06-19, version 1.0.104* Unless you spend copious amounts of money on power ups. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Incredibly Hard *2026-09-04, version 1.0.110* Never leave reviews. But this game is incredibly hard. Almost every single level I have to play 10 plus times to win. It’s making me want to remove the game. ### 1/5 — MONEY HUNGRY, SET UP FOR FAILURE UNLESS U SPEND REAL MONEY *2026-07-25, version 1.0.108* After making it all the way to chapter 21 (Pyramid Enigma) level 17 it’s almost impossible to make it to the next level with out spending money! And no it’s not like the creator is saying in responses that you can make it through! No u can’t without spending real money! This game is a money grab and the deeper u go the more they charge you! I mean the in app prices are more than Fortnite Roblox and 2k! I bet I won’t spend another dime! ### 1/5 — slow for adv *2026-07-22, version 1.0.108* too much advertisement ### 1/5 — Too hard if you don’t want to spend *2026-07-11, version 1.0.107* Sooooo much potential but very easy to fail without power ups even if you are completely onto it ### 1/5 — Must buy coins *2026-07-03, version 1.0.105* In order to beat the levels you have to upgrade everything and the amount of coins required to upgrade is ridiculous. After spending all your coins upgrading the chefs, youre required to upgrade them again after a few more levels. Can’t play the game unless you want to spend a fortune buying extra coins. ### 1/5 — Progress gone after update *2026-06-23, version 1.0.105* I’ve been playing this game for months and love it, it helps me unwind, even when I can’t pass the levels. I’ve just updated the game and my entire progress is gone and the game seems to be entirely different. I’m really disappointed. Thank God I didn’t spend any real money. ### 1/5 — money hungry game *2026-06-20, version 1.0.104* level 50 is impossible to beat unless you want to drain your bank account on power up’s that don’t help. have been stuck on this level for months. the customers always run out of patience when 10/18 are served, this cannot be a coincidence. ### 1/5 — Yes I love this game *2026-04-20, version 1.0.100* Keep freezing and I can’t play the game and it don’t save! Have to unstall and re install and don’t have my same game have to start over. Has have some kinda bug that need fix ### 1/5 — MONEY HUNGRY, SET UP FOR FAILURE UNLESS U SPEND REAL MONEY *2026-03-04, version 1.0.95* After making it all the way to chapter 21 (Pyramid Enigma) level 17 it’s almost impossible to make it to the next level with out spending money! And no it’s not like the creator is saying in responses that you can make it through! No u can’t without spending real money! This game is a money grab and the deeper u go the more they charge you! I mean the in app prices are more than Fortnite Roblox and 2k! I bet I won’t spend another dime! ### 1/5 — За полгода так и не перевели игру на русский язык *2026-02-17* Разработчики зачем врать, что работаете над локализацией игры, если это не так. Видно из комментариев же, игра до сих не переведена на русский язык. **Developer response:** Спасибо за игру. Сейчас мы работаем над локализацией игры и сделаем все возможное, чтобы выпустить новые языки как можно скорее. Если у вас есть другие вопросы, пожалуйста, свяжитесь с нами в игре, и мы готовы вам помочь. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New restaurant *2026-08-31, version 1.0.110* When are we getting new restaurants??? ### 5/5 — No puedo entrar al juego *2026-08-28, version 1.0.110* Me pide q inicie sesión en Facebook y no carga ### 5/5 — 저기… *2026-08-06* 요것처럼 열심히 하고있는 게임이 없는데요.. 디테일이건 완성도건 너무 좋아서.. 그래서 아이폰, 아이패드 둘다 다운받아서 동기화해서 이용중인데 아이패드로 평소 사용하다가 오랜만에 아이폰으로 접속하려고 하면 항상 멈춥니다.. 화면이 멈추고 클릭도 안되고 예전엔 앱을 삭제하고 재설치하면 됐었는데 지금은 그것조차도 안먹네요 ㅜ 제발 이 버그 좀 해결해주세요… ### 5/5 — New restaurant *2026-07-31, version 1.0.108* When will the new restaurant open? ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVER *2026-07-30, version 1.0.108* I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH I CANT STOP PLAYING IT ### 5/5 — The game *2026-07-27, version 1.0.108* This is a great game ### 5/5 — Help *2026-07-24, version 1.0.108* Server not working. I have been playing for years on iPad but just downloaded on iPhone and chose from server, it loaded correct level but everything is frozen, nothing I click on works. So I went back to iPad and now that I downloaded to another device it asks if I want device or server and I chose server to get correct level and again all is frozen. I’m at level like level 1979 or something and don’t want to lose it. Ps your support link below reviews link is useless. ### 5/5 — Great game but misleading *2026-07-24, version 1.0.108* Game is great but pics for the app show a completely different game that is not this one it’s my favorite app game so I’m disappointed that it’s not properly advertised. ### 5/5 — Little Diner Lady *2026-07-10, version 1.0.107* I love this game. So addictive! The ads aren’t overbearing and I really enjoy trying to take the orders and being as efficient as possible in doing it. It’s a fun game that isn’t stressful (for the most part!) Money isn’t hard to come by (but I run all the ads, I just play a different game on my phone while they’re running). When I’m stressed out and need to relax, this is my game. ### 5/5 — Ameiiii *2026-07-06* Melhor jogo do mundo, a única coisa ruim é os anúncios --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
