Deleting this game for good this time - I'VE HAD ENOUGH
I put money into this game for gold they make it almost IMPOSSIBLE to earn any other way just for the game to suddenly reboot itself without me even uninstalling & reinstalling. I tried restoring my progress with Facebook but have been continuously getting the same error message. I loved this game. I obsessively played it every single day. I catered to its creators by giving in to its addictive qualities. I was even willing to get past the network errors that prevented me from completing group goals as well as the fact that there were never ads available for me to earn more gold or lower the wait time for recipes to be done. I will NOT however tolerate my progress being withheld from me, ESPECIALLY after making all of those in-app purchases. I hope the creators of this game get it together one day, because they clearly have all but abandoned it with no foreseeable updates or fixes to these absurd bugs.

Great game but could better some things
I’ve been playing this game for a bit now and I absolutely love it. However, there’s some stuff that could be better. The amount of gold you win from rewards should be raised. Eventually, it becomes seemingly impossible to get enough gold to make upgrades that are needed unless you spend money to get more. Another thing is the Quick Duel game play. It’s been a few days and when I try to do the Quick Duels, it just says I have no internet connection when I in fact have perfectly fine connection and it’s very disappointing because that’s my favorite part of the game. I messaged Support and was told to keep an eye on the game News section because they’re trying to fix that issue and updates will be on there, but it’s been days and 1- still no fix and 2- I cannot figure out how to see the game News section to keep track of whether or not the issue will be fixed soon or not. Maybe it’s me, but I just cannot figure out where to view that at. Overall, this is a great game, but please raise the amount of gold we can win so we can realistically make the upgrades we need!

Fallen from glory
I’ve played this game for most of the years since it’s release. I recommended it to lots of people over time. In the past 1-2 years, I don’t open the game that much because it has gotten exponentially harder to make any progress since they removed the feature where you can earn gold by watching videos. It’s not even like you could earn that many in a day, a handful here and there if you commit to maxing out the allotted videos you can watch in a day. Without that option, there are only the offers that you would have to sign up for, giving over your information or make purchases for stuff you don’t need. It’s no longer accessible to play the game. You can play for weeks on end before you can buy even one new food item, which doesn’t help you finish many more levels than you did before you bought it. I used to love this game. I wish I could still say I love it today. I cannot since I’m stuck in limbo with it.

Constant bugs
Another app game that doesn’t manage errors that have been around since the game started and errors that make gameplay obsolete while also making advancing a standstill process without paying huge amounts of money for digital property. They are nice in customer service but nothing is getting resolved and it’s my favorite game with lots of potential but if you cannot access goals or even receive rewards then the community and competition of this game is nonexistent making it worthless to play. I will probably refund my last purchase and delete this as it’s been a few years and before I started playing, these errors have been brought up long before I started playing.
I was going to leave a long review of pros and cons but I knew if this game didn’t get any better then I’m officially done with app games anyway and everyone should switch to console and abandon any app charging money or having issues like this because you’ll get way more value from a console than an app and maybe even more support and progress.

To much effort for to little reward.
Just like the title say’s. You get to little in way of rewards or compensation. You have to repeatedly replay past levels over and over again just to get next to nothing. I get that sometimes you have to replay a level or to two in order for you to get a bit of a build up. Also it appears that it seems to be a bit of a cash grab. With unrealistic offers for a assistant that automatically does everything and upgrade the equipment. 75 gold but your lucky to get maybe 10 to 12 gold and then you have to use it upgrade stuff so you can unlock it just to not even come close to actually getting it. It’s more than frustrating it’s obvious what is happening. A lot of effort for to little rewards. A harsh little loop of greed and insanity.

Network errors!
I enjoy this game, but there are flaws with the app. On the positive, it’s a fun game! But the following issues are a daily problem.
1. The social part of the game always has “network errors” and it says I need to check my network settings. I have not been able to open this all week. It’s not my iPad’s connection. I cannot complete group goals or give/receive hearts.
2. The Duals section has connectivity problems as well, but about half as bad as the social area. Still a daily annoyance.
3. I was once able to watch ads for gold bars, but that is no longer available. I assume they cannot get advertisers.
I have tried everything I know including, checking my network, turning my iPad off, and deleting the app and reinstalling all to no avail. Customer service is not much help.

Absolutely amazing
I love this game so much. It’s one of my favorites and the only cooking game I’ll ever need. The only bad thing is that there’s usually a “network error” when you want to go to the social section. At first I thought it was my internet but soon realized it was not. I really hope you guys can solve this problem cause it’s very very annoying, I mean sometimes you can’t connect to that section for daaaays :(
Other than that, I enjoy everything that was created for the game. Very clever and funny to have Gordon’s voice in the game, especially when you make mistakes or don’t succeed in an episode haha. I’ll come back and give it 5 stars if the network error problem is solved.

Please please fix network problem
This game is my absolute favorite. I used to play it quite a bit 4 years ago. Then something got broken and network error was introduced resulting in inability to complete group goals; came back to check on it 4 years later; the bug is still not fixed. Every other reviewer complains about it. Such a shame!!! Gorgeous graphics, wonderful game play, great design decisions, hours of fun play. A++ on all of this. Yet the network aspect of the game is just a complete flop. Indisputable F. So sad. Renders the game almost unplayable. Such an amazing game with a flaw that brings this game down from “All time favorite” to “week of play then delete and forget it”

Used to be fun until they took away videos to earn gold
As with every other game, this game turned out to be one where the creators just want people to pay more money. One of the best features was the ability to earn gold by watching ad videos which helped level up restaurants and speed up prep kitchen recipes. All of a sudden, and without warning they stopped the video feature. Their answer to earning gold is having to spend more money to complete offers and earn gold that way. The cost of most offers is ridiculous, and most of the items are not something I would ever purchase. While there are other ways to earn a few gold bars here and there, they take forever. There is also no longer an option to speed up recipes that help win levels, which means everything takes longer. I have purchased some level packs and gold because I was able to supplement what I earned in the game without spending a crazy amount. But, now I’m not going to play this game anymore and waste my time or money.

Is it good? Yes. Is it your best? No.
The game itself is actually really fun. It’s your typical diner dash type of game. I like that it’s more from the chef perspective rather than a waitress like Diner Dash is. Theres plenty of game content to access. I have two major issues with the game- firstly, the social parts of the game stop working almost every day. There’s a section for participating in group challenges that just won’t load. It’s certainly not a connectivity issue on the part of the user as the other features such as 1v1 challenges called Duels will work fine. This is a big problem because it’s one of the very few ways to earn the things you’ll need to progress besides a limited number of game progression or achievement awards. Secondly, the ads on this game are broken. About half of them will not have an “x” button anywhere even minutes after the ad playing. I’ve tried clicking everywhere. You eventually have to close the game entirely and reopen to get rid of it. Im not one to typically complain about ads especially for a free game but to have ads you can’t close out of is very frustrating and doesn’t reflect well. I thought perhaps I’m missing an update so that’s what brought me here to the apps store. No update pending and the last one was 2 weeks again as of today.
I can’t imagine anyone spending money on in-game purchases for a game that acts up so much.

PLEASE FIX THESE FLAWS
I have found that there hasn’t been many updates done to this game in I don’t know how long BUT here are some things I wish the creators would fix!!!:
-a way to refresh the farm market instead of having to leave the window then coming back to see new produce options.
-more prep kitchen slots!! 4 is not enough considering one has to wait a whole day to collect boosters that are used for 3 minutes. I usually use 6 characters which gives me 36 boosters that take forever to get and then I only get to use all 36 in less than 20 mins… Why does 6 have to be the MAX for each booster???
-I don’t understand how garlic is a common ingredient and the angus beef is rare but for some reason it’s almost impossible to get ahold of the garlic but it’s very easy to find angus beef…..

Not restoring progress and etc
I was having an issue with my game where it wouldn’t let me do group stuff. It kept telling me check network connection but nothing was wrong with the connection. I decided to delete the app and reinstall thinking that my progress would get restored. I had saved all my progress on Facebook. I go to restore my progress and it didn’t restore what so ever. I got really far in my game and had a lot of gold. Now I have to start all over which makes me mad cause I had made purchases with that save. I love the game but this is cool and the fact that they haven’t fixed the issue with the network connection error is wrong. Hopefully the company see this so they understand that frustration it is for the player.

Fun but glitchy
I love this game. Have played it for years. The game itself is challenging but fun. If you’re patient you don’t have to spend any real money. However there are some major issues. The group goal will not let me play. It says there is an internet connection issue. I can do everything else that runs on internet so not sure why this won’t work. It also crashes a lot, taking tokens and supplies without getting to play the level. Also, if you don’t play for a few days, it takes FOREVER to redownload all the levels, social section and duel levels. Most recently it has to download everything every single time, taking up to 10 minutes just to play. As a result I recently didn’t play for almost a year just because I didn’t have the time or patience to wait for it. Thought when I came back it would be fixed bit it was worse. Please fix these issues. I really want to keep playing this game.

READ BELOW!
Look, this game is absolutely amazing, I really love it! It’s so fun and there’s tons of levels! It’s so great because you aren’t playing in the same restaurant the whole time, you get a change of scenery and I love it!! And one of the best parts is... it’s so easy to earn in game money!! It’s the best of all worlds.. but I only gave it 3 stars instead of 5. That’s because I went to make a name for myself so I can add other players, and all of a sudden, it deleted everything I had and started me at the beginning. I was so upset!! I was almost done with the first restaurant and well into the second one and it just started me back at the beginning. I have no idea why this is but I’m so angry. Something needs to be done about these bugs because I’m not sure if I’m willing to start over again...

Fun game but filled with tech issues
The premise of this game is great and playing it is very fun. I love working through the different levels and restaurants, playing the duels, and appreciate the easy ways to accumulate gold bars and subsequently higher levels. I have been sticking with this game for over two years, and all of this earns the solid two stars.
The downside though is that this game is so glitchy that it kills the positive points. It has recently gotten a lot worse with constant freezing, kicking you out of a scene where you end up losing points and special meals, inspector challenges that don’t work ... the list goes on and on. I’m tired of hearing it’s my wifi and available memory on my phone ... because both are ample and strong. These glitches really need to be worked out for the game to truly be successful.

My favorite game
This is my absolute favorite game. You won’t beat it any time soon and it does reasonably increase in difficulty. I’ve played other games that are similar where you get to a certain point and it’s impossible to beat or you can’t afford the upgrades without spending real money. This game isn’t like that. I would say it’s a perfect game except for one thing, like another review said, PLEASE FIX THE DOWNLOAD BUG!!! I’ve practically stopped playing the game because I have to wait so long for anything to load. Each aspect of the game has to “download” and it takes so long I turn to something else and forget I was trying to play. I’m talking 20 minutes or more. Please fix this I miss playing this game.

Delish ‘n Chips
I like Gordon Ramsay’s Dash. I have downloaded it on multiple devices.
I would love:
*To skip tutorials on new recipes unlocked and new restaurants unlocked.
*Serve customers that ordered first, instead of going to the customer closest to the the root beer and pretzels dispensers. ^^This is annoying when the customer’s patience is thin and their order is blinking, just before they leave.^^
* To not be penalized for Duels I’ve forfeited.
* To have tiers of rewards for group goals completed by myself and one person, myself and two people, & myself and three people (grand prize) instead of ^^myself and myself plus three friends.^^ My friends and I aren’t always on at the same time. We shouldn’t be penalized because we live in different time zones or aren’t playing the game during group goal time limits. Some entry fees are high since you have to depend on the availability of others to reach the Grand Prize.
*For Super Gordon to only serve those items that I don’t already have in my hands. ^I shouldn’t have to discard items because Super Gordon served the same items I already had in my hands ready to deliver when I activated Super Gordon.^

Stolen game progress, twice!
I have been playing this game since before it switched over to the Ramsey update. Loved the game and have built my game progress up to where I finally had all of the chefs in each room, and most of all the upgrades in each room, with the exception of happy hours. Then, just like that, everything was gone and I was told that I would have to download the game again and re-sync to Facebook. Did that and was able to get most things back, but not my PURCHASED gold. Frustrated, but kept playing the game. Making sure I kept saving my progress...Now, about a year later, back down to almost factory settings and everything lost again! Now I'm in the fight with game producers to try to get my game back. Got the same instructions from producers to re-sync to Facebook, but this time I only got back a small portion of progress. It is stealing, it is unfair, and it has to stop. Players beware.

One of my favorite kitchen games
It’s very fun to play this game, I’ve been playing for a couple of years now and still continue to play, continue to buy more restaurants and to get max stars in them. I don’t like every Jew place I open, some just have food that look a little funny. I do hate the limit of only being able to play until you run out of grocery bags. I with you could play as long as you want like other kitchen game apps. They used to have unlimited playing time on weekends and am surprised they took that off. I can spend a long time playing and having fun. It can be a challenge if u don’t spend real money, but I still love it. I have used a bit of money on the game and I found it worth it because it’s super entertaining

Game crashed and reset my progress.
So... the title explains it all. I lost all of my progress. I never paid for anything, but I had opened three restaurants and was mostly through the first two, had gotten through multiple fame tiers, and I was enjoying game play for the most part. The game glitched, completely restarted me, and even though I had connected the game to my Apple account, could not restore my progress. There is no section of the customer care FAQ that covers restoring in the event that progress is lost, it only covers transferring in the event you were trying to load on a new device, but doesn’t explain how to do so. (I assumed if I logged in to my account the progress would restore, it did not.)
Other than this rage-quit-inducing glitch, the game is fun. That said, it’s also incredibly difficult to advance without the in-game gold, which, unless you’re doing the daily challenges regularly, is doled out piecemeal and is never enough to upgrade what you need.
Really sorry to say it but I don’t want to go through all that progress again and play that amount of time for very little pay-off. If the game hadn’t reset I may have still considered playing, but because of the sheer difficulty of upgrading I was considering removing the app anyway. My decision was made easy after the reset.
Overall, fun game play but terrible experience.
