Recurring themes

Ads & Monetization negative
Many players are frustrated by the sheer volume of ads, which often appear between levels or even mid-game, and frequently malfunction, freezing or looping. There are also complaints about the game becoming a 'cash grab,' requiring in-app purchases to progress past increasingly difficult levels.R4R16R21R33
Bugs & Performance negative
Despite developer notes claiming 'bug fixes and performance improvements,' recent reviews frequently report glitches, freezing, and crashing, sometimes preventing the game from loading or causing players to lose progress. Issues include ads not closing, game freezing mid-level, and the app not opening at all.R8R21R28R31
Facebook Requirement negative
A recurring issue is the game suddenly requiring users to log in or connect with Facebook to play, which prevents many from accessing the game if they don't have a Facebook account or refuse to link it due to privacy concerns.R13R18R30R37
In-App Purchase Issues negative
Several users have reported purchasing in-game currency like diamonds or coins but never receiving them, with unresponsive customer support.R2R25R48R56
Gameplay Difficulty & Progression mixed
While many find the game fun and addictive, some levels are criticized for becoming impossibly hard without spending money on boosts or upgrades. This leads to frustration and a feeling of being stuck, especially in later stages.R5R10R15R23

Who it's for

This game is for players who enjoy fast-paced, hand-eye coordination cooking games and are willing to tolerate frequent ads or potentially make in-app purchases to progress R1R3R5R6. It is particularly suited for those who appreciate quick progression and generous initial rewards R6R26.

Evidence note: The recent reviews skew heavily towards negative experiences, particularly regarding ads, bugs, and monetization, which contrasts with the high lifetime rating. This suggests a decline in quality or increased monetization over time, or that the recent sample is not fully representative of the overall user base's long-term experience.

  1. [R1] 5/5 · US Great stress reliever: This game is very addicting (in a good way). Sit through the ads, it’s worth it
  2. [R3] 5/5 · US Fun game hand down: Fun game love it always playing itVery addictive
  3. [R5] 3/5 · US More time: It’s a fun app to play, especially if you like hand-eye coordination games. However, with the levels, it’ll give extra customers but when the goal is reached, the customers walk away. Same with the time trials. The moment that the goal is reached, everything just stops. It would be nice to be able to play until the timer hits 0 just like it would be nice to be able to serve all customer
  4. [R6] 5/5 · US Wow: This game is so much fun and you can make progress really quick. I would also like to mention the awesome detail that if you choose the hero’s movies StarWars is one of them.
  5. [R21] 3/5 · US It’s good but some flaws: The games itself is really fun and it’s way to play and isn’t hard to get rewards or diamonds and coins. But some only problems I have is one it’s sometimes glitchy and freezes while your playing the game and you’ll have to stop playing and come off the app and play again. Another thing is the ads the ads sometimes do not work and when they do work many of them not all bu
  6. [R26] 5/5 · US Addictive Fun!: Love this game! It’s really addicting. I play it everyday. The rewards are never ending and very generous!This game is unmatched! I give it 5 much deserve gold stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  7. [R27] 4/5 · US Love it: Easy to earn rewards and advance.
  8. [R35] 5/5 · US Addicting and fulfilling: Let’s face it… there is no return on this game other than completing levels and cleaning up different properties giving you a real strange sense of fulfillment! The games are short with enough boosts to get you through the tough ones so you are never stuck for too long, and you can play for just a couple of minutes at a time if you want a brain break. Great graphics. Can
  9. [R52] 5/5 · GB Great game: I have really enjoyed playing this game. Lovely graphs. But sadly I will soon have to delete it as I reach the point where I can not progress any further.
  10. [R54] 3/5 · GB It has it faults: At the beginning it’s a very good game that has many different restaurants and ways to earn jewels all in all I thought it was a good game.but after I updated the game the graphics became very pixelated and at certain areas you can see the pixels flicker.the graphics became so poor(very blurry) that I don’t want to play the game.
  11. [R71] 5/5 · GB Amazing game: I would recommend because crazy diner Is amazing.I love the way how you can upgrade your cooking utensils🤩🤩🤩
  12. [R99] 5/5 · GB Fun Times: It’s actually so fun, and you can play it offline, so good!
  13. [R4] 1/5 · US Unless you like endless back to back adds skip this one: This game has an add for everything, rarely can you play for 1/2 hour without getting about 15 adds plus the pop ups you need to decline twice. It was starting to really annoy me when it got worse, the adds malfunction all the time, the screen is black, the add quits in the middle, or like the other day it keeps repeating the add in an endl
  14. [R16] 1/5 · US Beware of ADS: Super fun game and the overall concept of the game is great. However, these ads are just insane. Once I finish a level, I immediately get an ad for no reason. It’s really disappointing.
  15. [R33] 1/5 · US DELETE: Update update….Sadly I had to delete the game. The NONSTOP says and the constant request for money to win games that were completely impossible to win really stressed me out. The point of the game was a fun escape. It was in the beginning as most games are but then turned quickly. Trust me, if you play this game long enough you will 100% agree with me. I really wanted to stick with it but
  16. [R2] 2/5 · US Purchase: I purchased diamonds and never received them. I emailed the company and did not receive a reply nor the diamonds.
  17. [R25] 4/5 · US Love this game But…: I love this game but you guys have been cheating me out of coins . Everytime i complete a level successfully it says how many coins and gems ive won then there’s literally nthn ..no update on my amount of gems 🥺
  18. [R48] 4/5 · US Diamonds: Great game! Only problem is I spent money on diamonds and never received them.
  19. [R56] 2/5 · GB Meh: Great game until I purchased some diamonds, and didn’t even receive them.
  20. [R13] 2/5 · US Annoyed: I no longer am on FB & the game will not open up without connecting to FB & I have bought coins & can’t get on to play.
  21. [R18] 1/5 · US Update has made it impossible to play game: The game will not load unless I allow it to use my Facebook. I will not allow it to use my Facebook so now I can’t play !! What is wrong with this …
  22. [R30] 3/5 · US Insisting on connecting to fb: Why is the game now insisting on connecting to Facebook? I do not prefer my game share my information, so now it won’t load. What’s going on!
  23. [R37] 1/5 · US In order to play: You want to use Facebook to long in and share info about me. What happened to just being able to play. I’m uninstalling the game.
  24. [R15] 5/5 · US You can call me Ms.Star: I just wanted to ask is it hard to make the customers talk? Only one says something and that’s “hi” the game is fun but I have noticed as the levels get harder they become impossible to beat without using any of the other additions like the auto serve or coin doubler or the auto cook no matter how fast you go on some levels it will absolutely not allow you to win until u a
  25. [R47] 3/5 · US Fun game but…: Update: I am reducing to three stars. I don’t mind spending a little money now and then but when you can’t get through a level using a boost AND spending 120 diamonds on extra time, something is wrong!and it’s not even a super hard level! (Level 683) I find a lot of the levels are harder than they are marked. About ready to delete. Starting to cost way too much. User: 1d8b0d5 This
  26. [R58] 2/5 · GB Got too hard too quickly: Good game but some levels were impossible even using every booster and upgrade possible. That’s just frustrating, not enjoyable! Have now deleted and will try other cooking games.
  27. [R31] 1/5 · US The app has stopped opening: For the last few days I’ve tried to open the app I use it everyday. None of my other apps stopped working. It loaded and then freezes after I press play. I even delete it and downloaded it again.
  28. [R43] 2/5 · US Fun game keeps freezing: Love this game so far but I’m in the 2nd restaurant and it locks up all the time and it hangs up at 30% when I first open it
  29. [R55] 4/5 · GB Great game but.... crashing issues: I really enjoy this game and I have progressed pretty well but I have major crashing issues particularly when I am collecting free gems it constantly crashes on the ad. Also crashes half way through a level. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated .
  30. [R8] 3/5 · US Good game, staff experience not so much.: My partner and I both play the game. When she contacted them about a bug where the game wasn’t recognizing the new ingredient, they told her to “just make the right meal”, which was to say the least unhelpful and a little condescending. The bug finally fixed itself after multiple times deleting and reinstalling it. However, the staff clearly provided no in
  31. [R83] 2/5 · GB Where are my gems: I bought gems but never received them I know the money was taken out of my bank but no gems what a waste of money I contacted you but ask what you could do but I asked for the gems I payed for and no reply what a rip off
  32. [R84] 1/5 · GB Ok but..: Games ok. It’s hard to get keys. I didn’t get the gems I paid for. Kept saying they've sent them to the mail box however there isn’t a mailbox!! And the ads are ridiculous
  33. [R10] 2/5 · US update stinks: The new update makes it virtually impossible to win level 3. If you don't make it you can not advance forward to other games.Not a pleasure to play anymore.
  34. [R28] 2/5 · US Game is bugged: During certain games I hit to replace one item that needs to be cooked and it automatically selects 3 leading to failing because the extra items burn and I fail the level. Also it does it when you try to add one item to the already cooked food. Ex: I am making spaghetti. I have three cooked spaghetti dishes and a customer wants one with sauce. I click on the sauce and it automat
  35. [R23] 4/5 · US Waiting…: This game can be fun, but a few levels (like Loft Hot Pot) were so annoying, I almost quit the game entirely. Now, I’ve finished everything, and I’ve been waiting for weeks to get new levels.
  36. [R60] 4/5 · GB Keep having to spend money to progress: This game isn’t free. To progress you need to upgrade your equipment but it’s doesn’t just cost money but gems as well….. good game but why should I spend a fortune to progress
  37. [R64] 2/5 · GB Make it possible: I really love this game however it’s becoming tedious as I canno5 progress without spending money! I watch the boring adverts is that not tedious enough 🙃
  38. [R70] 1/5 · GB Gets you hooked and rips you off: One you get past the easier levels it’s impossible to play and progress without spending real money. I appreciate that they need to earn some money to support development but hate it when they get greedy. I will be deleting this game which is a shame.
  39. [R75] 1/5 · GB Deleted!: Deleted! The whole game becomes centred around you spending money! It becomes frustrating rather then an enjoyable way to switch off! I won’t be reinstalling this game. Much better games to play for fun and relaxation available for free!
