Community Insight:
You have to pay to get the whole game. Reported to App Store, for deceitful practices.
Every since the iOS 11 update we havent been able to play the game.
Keep up the good work don't change a thing. Very addictive can't seem to put it down. Please update this app needs it badly. If people like it why not update it. It's behind 4 years.
This game is fun but sometimes you can't get the food of the grill fast enough and it burns. But you could play this game all day.
We just started playing today and so far we're really enjoying it.
We wish the food would just go to the plate when it's done instead of us having to drag it.
It's ok which equals awesome we guess.
Love this game, had to pay for the full version. Now we can't put it down.
We bought it and can't put the game down really great game.
Just a nice little game to relax ya.
Addicting. This game is so much fun. We play it for hours :)).
We like most time management games and we especially like this one. Fast-paced, but not so fast that we give up. Easy to follow directions.
This game is high pace and fun fun fun.
Fun game…not so hard that you quit in frustration.
Great game!!! Fun to play on the couch after work :}.
We enjoyed this game on Android and finally got the cajones to purchase on Apple. It's fun and challenging.
Great game to play! Help pass the time, and challenges the speed and mental for fun.
This game is great love all the levels wish there were more. We can't wait for 3.
We love this it is very fast It don't take long to upgrade we love it.
Try it is fun. Passes the time. We love it.
We like this game. The only thing that would make it better is to be able to unlock other portions of the game by using tip money or coins already earned. You have to pay real money and we don't spend unless we can earn it. So we'll probably play until we reach that point, then delete game which is a shame because it is a good one so far.
Such a fun game! One of the rare games that you can actually play without having to spend tons of money.
Play is just challenging enough and we appreciate that once you buy the full version you don't have to spend additional money to keep playing.
Addictive :) don't need to purchase with real money, can make enough inside the game.
We really enjoy the different levels and the speed of the game.
Easy to learn. Fun to play. Can be a bit stressful and challenging at times. This game is worth playing. We would say we enjoy the game enough that we bought the upgrade.
Just started playing. So far so good.
We love it! We play it for hours… Can't stop!! We definitely recommend this game.
Our daughters love this game…..hours of fun.

The game is great fun to play. We got it for our granddaughters and even when they aren't visiting us, we find ourselves playing the game. Great challenges and very entertaining.
Our family plays this from age 4-66! Passing it around as levels get harder.
It is a great game that our grandchildren love to play. It helps teach them about multi-tasking.
Fast paced and easy to progress, love it.
Simple, but fun and entertaining.
We love this game it is so much fun when you don't have anything to do.
We enjoy playing this game. We do wish there were more free games other then that a great game to play.
Was looking for something to entertain 5 year old granddaughter. She will love this game – if we ever let her play.
Lots of fun to play. Kids can enjoy and challenging enough for adults to play too.
