Move to the Build Station to add a variety of tasty condiments to your hot dogs. Jump to the Pop Station to pour delicious drinks and pop some fresh popcorn to complete the meal.

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Love this game, in our opinion its much more easier than the rest. Did we mention? Baseball and hockey in the same game. Wonderful. We know the quality of the game might be a little dookie but like you can work it out. Overall this game is 10 / 10 recommend by dingbat222.
We really like this game it makes us wanna eat a hotdog.
We think Ruthie game is really good and fun but we dont understand why people are saying bad things about it. This is probably one of our favorite papa games because it is easy and fun.
We have a lot of the other games and we have some of the games that were most likely made earlier than the all the other ones and that really shows. (Cupcakeria to go is the worst game Ive ever played) but this one is a good quality game even if the graphics werent the best, and they got rid of that stupid grill thing where you needed to get 50/50 on each side (on the computer version) so this is honestly one of our favorite papas games next to Paletaria and Donuteria to go.
Despite not having a character maker, it is awesome! It so much fun and kinda of easy! It has holidays witch is something we want on each papa game so thanks for adding holidays! Only thing we dislike is not character stickers, its so fun seeing characters in different outfits and and such! This game is great and we recommend it.
Ok first off, there are some people who wrote reviews about how u cant customize ur character and that your disappointed. Come on people!! Play the game and then ask for an update to add that. You bought a game where u make hot dogs and stuff not a dress up game!! This game is addicting we took a chance and bought it and we are so glad we did its super fun well worth the 2 bucks we paid.
This is honestly probably one of the easiest papa games Ive played. All we get is a 100%, or a 80%+. Its amazing.
This app is truly an emulation of our childhood in that it very accurately represents the original computer game that we loved so much as a kid. It is definitely worth the $2 if you have played the game before and its still worth it if you just want to try it. There are a few things that are different, but its really quite similar to the original game. Would recommend.
While not having as much content as the latest games, it is still an incredibly great game especially since it added seasons (which it originally did not have) its just as good if not better than the later games.
Hi we love the game but 1 thing do the toppings really have to be perfect we say the messer the better and the 2 type of popcorn you get are those seeds cause we really want to know and is there a way that there can be no special because Id like to know ty bye.
This game will forever be the best papa game end of story.
We would like to request to add pumpernickel bun into this game it feels empty without it and also add characters customization Edit: we just realized pumpernickel bun was a thanksgiving item whoops but add the green drink from the pc please.
Hot Doggeria is so much fun!! All the toppings are so much fun to combine & the characters are so neat! We hope Sushiria is next.
This game is really fun to play but we just dont like the graphics.we hope they fix the graphics in the future.
Absolutely love all these games! You should definitely make one for the papas chesseria on thats online its our favorite.
We love this game and satisfaction we get playing the only bad thing is that their is custom characters without the ability to change to match holidays but everything else is amazing.
We NEVER pay for mobile games but we couldnt pass this up. We used to play this game on Shockwave.com but they dont offer it anymore. This popped up in our App Store the other day and we bought it immediately. We have no regrets! Its soooo fun and almost exactly the same as the computer version. Works great on our iPhone XR.
We were a little sad you cant customize your character, also the graphics arent the best, its blurry and kinda looks zoomed out. Which we guess makes sense because this is one of the older games we just wish the graphics were crisper like the other games.
Dont get us wrong the app and game itself is fun BUT we really wish they had an option to create an account for those that get a new new phone can get their progress back. We were on Rank 50 and when we got a new phone we were rest back to Rank 1, it was devastating.
We Need to know how do you save your account in all of the flipine studio game.
Ts very fun to play but it lacks some of the features such as character customization which was present on the FREE computer flash game.
Hello! So, on our iPad we can customize our character! Its super fun, but on our phone we cannot. Its super sad because we love this game but its more fun on iPad. We hope youll update the game soon so it makes everything the same no matter what device your playing on! Thank you, bye.
This is one of our favorite papas games, and when we got it on mobile (because of the deletion of flash), we were disappointed in the super fuzzy/ slightly laggy graphics and clunky mechanics. If this game could be updated for the mobile format, it would be extremely enjoyable and much better.
We love all the games!! And think there needs to be a salad one.
We like this but, can you add a setting which makes you unable to serve orders without drinks.
We love flipline! But this game is a little bit blurry-ish, compared to newer games like Papas Bakeria To Go and Scooperia. We hope you can clear it up a bit.
We used to play this game all the time as a kid and it was always our favorite one of the series. But the mobile version is incomplete without the ability to customize your character and change their outfits. If this game had the same customizable options as Wingeria To Go, it would be the best mobile Papas series game on the app store without a doubt.
Well first thing about it that was devastating was when we figured out that you cant customize your character, youre stuck with Taylor and that other girl. And we played this a lot as a child, and they ALWAYS had that feature.(but they will probably add that feature just not right now The other complain we have on this game is the build station. Our sausage size fingers cant really put any sauce on a hot dog. Besides that the game is really good but its those things that get on our nerves.
It looks like it was screen recorded off of a laptop then uploaded to the App Store. Id rather just play it on our laptop. The graphics are dated.
This game is $2 dollars and the quality is the same as the other $1 papas games. Please update graphics and quality then ill redownload.
We downloaded this even after reading the reviews, cause we didnt think the quality would be as bad as people were saying. However, we already have 2 other papa games, (pastaria and sushiria) and the difference in quality was very noticeable. We love this game though, its always been our favorite out of all of them.
This papas game is very fun, and fun to play when it was on flash. The App Store port for it is worse quality than the flash version, and everything looks very cheap and choppy, although the game most likely wont go through another update, probably think twice about spending two bucks on something that looks like an unofficial scratch Papas knockoff.
We loveeee the papa games. And we never buy the $0.99 ones because they are low quality. But this one is low quality as well. The others are nice and refreshed and this and a couple of the other ones are 1.99 and are this horrible quality. They should be fixed because after you buy it, there is no refund. Please fix the quality or lower the price. And make the game the same quality as the newer ones.
Paying 1.99$ for this game is a bit much especially because the games laggy blurry and sometimes crashes but overall its pretty fun it could just use some fixing.
We own all of the flipline studio games and this is one of their older ones, so its eh. But we highly recommend any of the more recent games.
Was very disappointed with the features. People who are thinking about getting this app. Think twice before doing so. Go watch videos and youll see how it is.
Its a very fun game and we like it a lot we just wish it could be updated a bit. Its very glitched out and laggy. Overall fun game just some fixes will make it even better.
You see we like the game but it looks like something straight from 2016 we would like it better if it was like the newer games then it would be better and has your own customizable worker.
There used to be a feature where you can make a custom worker but we cant make one. Can you please fix this.
Is it just us but the quality is so bad the game itself is one of our favs its like a iPhone 4 quality does not worth 1.99 with the quality.
Okay so we really like the game & we like the fact that theres so many different costumers & and we like the fact that you can decorate you restaurant . But we think yall should make it to wear we can make the players look like us and have different clothes options.
The quality when we downloaded it and ran through the whole tutorial was absolute trash.
Love the game, hate the graphics. CAN WE PLEASE HAVE AN UPDATE ON THE GRAPHICS?? Wingeria,Scooperia,Donuteria & Pancakeria all have great graphics & Itll be perfect if the others were updated as well.
We like the game, but if you can fix the game quality like the other games, that would be nice.
The graphics are super bad on this compared to papas scooperia.
If there is a way to update the game for better graphics please make the graphics better. We play bakeria becuae the graphics are so good. Thank you for reading.
We wish there was customizable, the extra features and a plotline even though we know its an old game. Also the quality isnt that good so hes hard to see.
This is the first time we bought one of the two girl ones we have a bunch of the HD ones but this one seems to be very glitchy and only fills up half our screen.
We felt very cheated when we downloaded this one and to our surprise the quality was incredibly lowIm not a big nitpicker but we dont like how the images advertised show high quality stills of the game yet the game doesnt look that way.
If youre thinking about purchasing this specific papas game, there are other papas games that are better for $1.99. First off, the gameplay is very laggy and blurry as well as the audio being choppy. Another issue is that you cannot customize youre own character and to us thats the whole fun part of playing these games. It makes the experience personal and customizable to how you like. Youre better off playing this game on your pc or laptop because those versions are better than the mobile one. Its just disappointing because this was our favorite one during our childhood and the fact that its nothing like the computer version is sad. We hope this gets seen by the developers and they update the game to how the other recent papas games are.
