### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-08-22, version 1.9.8*

Fun and easy to play

### 5/5 — Restaurant story

*2026-08-22, version 2.2.0*

I like this game!

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-08-20, version 1.9.8*

Good game

### 4/5 — Learning new foods in the world

*2026-08-16, version 1.9.8*

The goal recipes can be very difficult to master unless you are very regular player and timely. The recipes are often of food that I have never heard or eaten before. Hence, a small increase in knowledge.

### 5/5 — amazing game

*2026-08-15, version 1.9.8*

i’ve been playing on and off for years and it has always been a favorite of mine!!

### 3/5 — Ehhhhh, Nostaligic but shame you’ve added ads

*2026-08-14, version 1.9.8*

Used to play this on my mums iPhone 4! Didn’t play for many years now I’ve started playing every day, the popups and ads are seriously annoying though, also why can’t you level up past 99? You should fix that rather than doing the stupid goals

### 4/5 — Some improvements needed but love it

*2026-08-13, version 1.9.8*

Love this game, very easy to play. Couple of points which would make it perfect:
1. Fix ability to link to Facebook 
2. Allow videos to save ruined food not just reducing time
3. More ways to earn gems or reduce price significantly 
4. BIG ONE! Allow food to be sorted by time and or profit/xp
5. BIGGER ONE!! Allow people to view storage items in 1 place and not have to scroll through the shop
6. Show a sale price for items before you sell them

Literally would make the game perfect!

### 2/5 — Countertop Clearing

*2026-08-12, version 1.9.8*

Don’t get me wrong I love this game but there is no reason I should log out for 2.5 seconds and come back to an entirely wiped out restaurant. The time and money put into this game is NOT worth my work/patience not lasting one simple game close out.

### 3/5 — Sets you up to spend Money to succeed

*2026-08-11, version 1.9.8*

I have been playing this game for several years. A few months ago fun goals where you interact with others changed. Goals are set up where required food takes too much time to cook and pays out at very low earnings. It’s hard to complete goals in time to get reward. I do like that the graphics have gotten better, but the game seems more like labor now than fun.

Update:  Same game but the game is easier to complete goals. I have been playing this game for way over ten years. The income you get on selling completed food has remained the same during all this time, but the cost to buy equipment needed to cook has gone from about $10,000 per oven, stove or grill to $39,000 per the current game. You run out of cash quickly!

### 5/5 — Peaceful

*2026-08-10, version 1.9.8*

I been playing this game for 10 plus years and love those games that you can decorate your place and personalize stuff. You cook and earn money and goals to get more decorate and the only thing timed is the cooking. I love the Halloween themed stuff that comes out every year. It’s a peaceful little game and I love playing it.
