Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Its a great game. Our only complaint is the upgrading system and the energy system. Theres not enough energy to actually have fun and the way you have to pay for extra gold just to upgrade is an absurd system.
Im very happy with this game. Its very enjoyable.
Ive been playing this game for years as well. We been waiting on Ads for gold, Every time you open the App you get an error regarding your internet connection etc. To add to all the other reported issues now our game started over as New. All our progress goooonnnne! No Customer Support feature either.
We love this game, we just wish on the spin off game Restaurant Dash you could still buy gold.. We are a huge fan of that one. Please! Consider re opening up the micro transactions again, youll make money so its a win win lol.
Love this game. Ive been playing for years. We wish they would have updates. Havent had updates in years.
We love this game. But we need more levels!,,.
Llevo jugndolo como 7 aos y es mi escape de la vida adulta.
Ive been playing Cooking Dash every morning for at least six years. Its challenging and incredibly fun! And never dull. Thank you! Actually have been playing probably nine years, now that l think of it, and havent been sent advertisements EVERY few secondsor at all. Thank you again.
Fun game but have too many technical issues.
Big fan of the game for about a year now. All of the sudden the past two days it wont open for us. It says to checking our internet connection, but nothing is wrong with our internet. Ive tried restarting the phone and uninstalling, but nothing has worked.
We just wish it were more simple and easier to achieve levels to act eat a game now days its important without money.
We have been a player of all the flo diner dash games for over 15 years. This is a very addictive game and we enjoy playing it but we detest that we are constantly forced to purchase coins in order to advance. We have to pace our play based on when we will next purchase coins. The game does not give enough coin and gold back during play. You can honestly spend thousands of dollars to play this game! Toget one auto chef is typically $50.00, this is unreasonable. Ive been spinning the daily wheel for ten years and have never earned anything worthwhile. We love the challenge of the levels and the diversity but we will not put so much money into any game, there are other games that we play that arent so greedy so we will only play this game anymore to just get daily bonus, sad cuz its a great game.
We were having fun until we got to level 10, majority of our customers requested mushrooms except the problem is- there arent any. We cannot for the life of us figure out where Im supposed to find or buy these mushrooms so we googled it only to find that the mushrooms have been discontinued? If its discontinued then why are our customers still requesting it? Anyways, we cant get past level 10 due to this issue. Please fix it.
Its an entertaining game but it honestly would be so much better if it didnt have as many glitches as it does.
Ive played this game for a very long time but got frustrated with how hard it was to get gold so we deleted it. We recently started playing again buy you cant watch adds for rewards and even thought Im trying to spend our money in the storeit wont connect to the store EVER! In fact, it freezes our game and we have to go play something else and come back later. Im getting frustrated all over again. Idk how long we are going to continue to play this.
We love this game and have been playing for years! But when we finally accumulated enough fame to reach level 100, the game just never recognized it and wont give us the rewards or update our level. Still accumulating fame but the game just wont give us the bonuses. Are the developers even still updating this game??? Would love if they would so we can keep playing.
Bugs taking super long to be fixed. Unable to get all of the prizes post round completion.
The game is fun but when are there going to be more kitchens. Same kitchens for YEARS.
The game is fun. But there are some technical issues with the game that happens and there are still games missing series finales. We feel like the creators just dont care no more.
We genuinely enjoy this game, we played it years ago and recently redownloaded. We know that this is a legacy game, so theres not really any new updates. But Ive noticed that there was a new update yesterday to the game and ever since that update none of our restaurants will upload except for Table Steaks. It tells us that there is an issue with our internet connection and that we need to adjust our network settings. However, our WiFi and cellular connections are fine. Ive spent a lot of money on this game and if we stop playing we would like for it to be on our terms and not because the game does not work. Somebody, please help.
The game is fun and challenging, however after the first show upgrades are mandatory. Ive spent really life money in order to upgrade our venue complexly but now later in the season Im still not winning no matter how well we play because we noticed that in order to pass we still need to buy more things and thats the double the coins per customer. So now Ive completely upgraded our venue and foods but its STILL NOT enough to pass. Really sad at this cash grab.
Its fun to play but really hard to earn gold the power ups take for ever plus you only have two slots to make power ups and we cant earn gold thru videos because it tell us no internet witch we have internet on our phone and Im connected to WiFi and yes we checked our permission settings so can get a little frustrating at times.
This is one of our favorite games. However Im trying to clear level 8 as it is the last one we need to get a min of 4 stars on and every time we try to play that level the app crashes. So we cant continue with the game.
We love this game and have spent probably over $1,000 on gold in the past few years. Theres a bug happening right now where the customers who get auto served (the gold plate) are not getting served and they just sit there losing patience and theres nothing you can do to serve them. Can we please look into getting this fixed? Thank you.
We used to loveee playing this game but now its not where nears as fun. The game is very inconsistent they dont give gems in order to buy ingredients and the prices to even upgrade the ingredients is inconsistent and make no scene at all you will literally have to spend tons of money to even play consistently and thats a stretch because you can buy and upgrade all the ingredients and utilities and still not be able to come near finishing a venues. The app needs major updates and lots of cleaning up.
This game is super fun if they can work out the glitches. As with other reviewers, ours is completely stuck at downloading on every venue and customer services response wasnt helpful.
Its extremely hard to get gold bars for updates unless you spend money. If you dont complete a level and they ask you do you want to watch a video for a gold bar or double down coins and then when you click on it to watch the video it says there is no video available. Why even give out the option? Ive deleted the game due to having to play the same level over and over because we cant advance.
We love the game, play every morning with our coffee before work. Customer Service has greatly improved.
Ive been playing this game for years and spending our money as well and asking for updates and new exciting things to do like new restaurants or something and all theyre been saying is well forward it to the developers and nothing for years dont get this game they dont care and just want your money.
We know you guys don't care about this game anymore- but could you pretty please patch the constant 'download levels' bug? You know the one where even though all the levels are already downloaded, you have to redownload them every single day and it takes 45 minutes? Could you please fix that for the 20 of us who still love this game and wish you guys didn't abandon it.
This event has been our favorite and by far the easiest way to advance in the game. Especially since gold is so rare. The rewards used to be given dependent on how many Super customers you served. For the past few months the event has popped up but there have been no rewards offered. We will try to play through the whole event but there is never an opportunity to gain higher VIP customers. We have restarted our iPad and the game and it still doesnt work. Please advise.
Could you please bring back our progress?! Please?! Thanks! The games great anyway.
To leave a less than 5 star review would be ridiculous, as Im an addict. Ive spent tons of money on this game and have been playing for more than a decade. We would love to know when this game started, as we played spongebob and flos diner in the early 2000s.
We overall enjoy playing the game. It would be nice if we could have friends like how we use to through Facebook. We wish we could get more gold. You cant watch adds anymore to get free stuff, but it will allow you to spend your money. We would like to get more for our buck since it doesnt offer to get free gold and coins and meals faster like it use to. Beware.It's addictive.
Good game, no team work stress. Just wish it could connect to Facebook.
Played this game for a very long time.
EXCELLENT GAME So realistic and challenging but fun !! One of our favorite serving food games. We have started the game over from the beginning 2 times throughout the years….SO MUCH FUN.
Been playing this for many years . Really great game . Recently what we have faced is that we need to download every thing like 2 times within these 2 days which is quite unusual. We dont know why that is happening . Our IOS is 18.3.2 . Is it because of software error.
Ive been playing for years, and even though its become harder to get Gold, its a fun game with top notch customer support. We hope they implement another way to get gold! Cant wait for their update and hoping they make a VR game of this.
We loved this game a lot. Spent tons of money on it in the past. Theres an issue with trying to log into Facebook, which we have all our info on saved. Is there anyway to fix this? We really want to play on our old account again, but cant because of the Facebook issue.
We love this game a lot we play it constantly but its gets frustrating when we try to get to the special levels but the game wont let us finish season 2 episode 8 to get there.. But other than that this is an awesome game we would recommend.
Challenging, fun, unlocking levels! For anyone who gets stuck like ourselves passing a level you can always go to the store in the app to improve the quality of food, machinery or the decor of the shop to increase coins to reach that next level.
Ive been playing this game for 8 years now. We completed the game one time and switched to iPhone , now we have to start from scratch but we dont mind , however we really wish there was a Cooking Dash 2 with the same feel as this one .. New venues and amazing graphics.. We have all of the Cookie and Flo games on our phone and really want more more more and we hope Wedding Dash will reopen as well.. We Need More .. Really wish new venues could be added and updated on a regular basis again we miss this game.
We love this game sososososo much But wheres restaurant dash,we cant find it. Hope to see it again.
This is our favorite game. It is entertaining. There are a variety of restaurants. And they have game support. All these other games force you to a place where you are forced to buy the extras to keep playing. Not here.
Please can we bring back Gordon Ramsay in this game.
Please don't break, can you continue to update the new restaurant really like this style of painting.
We remember playing this game for the first time so many years ago, this game was and still is amazing. The gameplay mechanics are so unique and original, endless content, and most importantly nothing is locked behind a pay wall! We really love how the game has remained mostly the same since its release, we cant stand when games are constantly reworking things that are perfectly fine.
