I'm on the fence with this game. The things I liked even out with the things I didn't.
Good Parts:
Really fun! I came back to this once or twice.
Uqgrades were really good, but had no effect on the game itself.
Achievements made the game more fun, as well as the money reward you got for achieving them.

OK Parts:
The game was a bit too easy. I would've liked more of a challenge.
The storyline was a bit too short and could've done with some voice-overs.

Bad Parts:
The graphics really are sub-par for this game. I wish these guys had paid more attention when designing this game.
At times the game seemed to be too fast. People would come in and I would have to keep u. Now I know how McDonald's feel -_-

Overall, I liked this game, but like Hot Dog Hotshot, you have to be really quick or the mouse. Based on that, I'm not going to buy it, but I'd recommend it to anyone who wanted some fun.
I recommend this game!

I absolutely loved this game. Ran down the demo just like that and knew that I had to buy.
Good Parts:
What stood out about this game was the stunning graphics. They are so well done and very detailed. It's almost like it's real life.
Brlliant into, leading in to a brilliant storyline. The storyline progressed as the game went on, so I have to buy to see the end!
The Hidden Object Scenes were plentiful, with Interactive Hidden Objects making them even better.
The built in strategy guide was very helpful.

Once again, as I say with all HO games, the puzzles. Some were great and very easy, others were just terrible.

Bad Parts:
The only bad thing I would say about this game is tha hint and skip recharge took way too long, so I had to rely a ;lot on the strategy guide.

Overall, I doubt that there could be a game better than this. I loved everything about it, and I'm VERY hard to please, so I know you will too!
I recommend this game!

I absolutely loved this game!
Good Parts:
Very simillar to Megaplex Madness, so the controls were no problem.
A brilliant storyline that progressed as the game went on
Just like Megaplex Madness, this game was addictive fro the start. Before I knew it, my free trial was gone.
Unlike Megaplex Madness, playing with 3 colours was no problem. I could easily et 3 of each thing.
The arcade games were really fun. I loved each one of them!
You could pay with gold coins this time.
Good graphics.
The added challenge of having the mayor at the end of each set of each levels.
Being able to use Bea as a server.

Really addictive and fun!
A good level of challenge, not too hard and not too easy.
Awards added extra fun to the game.
The top 20 leaderboard. It made me want to keep playing because I had to get to the top!

A severe shortage of staff to start off some levels really set me back.

Bad Parts:
The game's graphics are really not good enough. Luckily, they were fixed by the next game.
There was a time limit. If you didn't get at least the silver trophy, you had to start again, and it wasted 5 minutes work! Luckily, this was fixed by the next game.

I quite liked this game, however, I recommend you play Burger Bustle: Ellie's organics instead, so the above two flaws will be of no problem.
I recommend this game!

This game was good, but could use some re-designing to make it less boring.
Good Parts:
This was one of the few spin-offs that actually impressed me.
A good storyline that set the base for the series

OK Parts:
Usual Diner Dash graphics. These need to be re-designed.
Was fun to start with, but gets repetitive. I'd find it difficult to play for more than 30 minutes at a time.
I also found it a bit too easy to get expert on the levels. All you had to do was chain actions.

Even with a new spin-off, you still can't escape disasters.
There was a lot of going up and down the lifts.

This is a step in the right direction for the Dash series, but needs some re-working.
I recommend this game!
Turn one diner into a promenade of five-star restaurants! Pick the menu, and decorate your restaurant to impress your customers!

The levels were going on towoards a bit too hard and it's a very stressful game.
Bad Parts:
Absolutely NO cooking involved. Would've been better if you could manage the resturaunt and cook food like Hot Dish, and still had the waiters to take it out, so, unlike hot dish, the food didn't sit around and lose quality untill everything was ready,
The game seriously LACKED fun. It was a real bore and a rare miss for the developers.
Storyline was poor and has been done countless times. It's time for something new!

Despite all the hype, this turned out to be a real disappointment. I'd go for something like Cooking Academy.

As another reviewer said, I went in to this game thinking it would be simillar to Burger Shop (which I love) but I was very disappointed.
Good Parts:

OK Parts:
Does kind of get a little frustrating. Customers keep coming and coming and you have to keep making and making.

Bad Parts:
Super Mario style graphics, Did not like these graphics very much.
Unlike Burger Shop, you can't put the burger together in any order, it has to be the correct sequence (bottom bun, filling, top bun)
Upgrades cost way too much and at the end of the day, you only ended up making approx. $6
Lunch rush. This part of the game was really frustrating and annoying

This game started off fun and then just went downhill. It's a no-go for me.
I don't recommend this game.

This is basically a mash-up of Cooking Academy and Go Go Gourmet. I really liked it!
Good Parts:
Really Fun!
Good Graphics. Very much improved from cooking academy and go go gourmet.
A great challenge.
The different types ofcustomers. You could leave ones such as the monk untill you'd dealt with ones like the Actress.
The Food-o-matic was really good. I used it on big orders.
A really great storyline, similar to go go gourmet 2: Chef of the Year

Bad Parts:
Having chefs on hand to take on the jobs took away from the fun.
Handling multiple orders at once was classic Go Go Gourmet, but took away from the classic, no stress feeling of Cooking Academy.

Wether you view it as Cooking Academy 4, Go Go Gourmet 3, or a whole new series, you're bound to enjoy this one. Highly recommended.
I recommend this game!
Welcome to the world of Hot Dish, where knowing your way around the kitchen is a recipe for success!

Bad Parts:
Unable to send dishes out when you complete them, so you have to leave them to sit and lose quality untill all the dishes are done. This really needs to be looked at and fixed for the next game!
This game lacks a lot of fun. I really did not want to keep going (have 43 minutes of demo left)
The Controls are pretty stupid. You use your mouse for everything.

Before I knew it, I used up the free trial and I knew I had to buy this!
Good Parts:
Very fun and addictive. I could not stop playing!
MUCH better storyline than the first Burger Shop.
The graphics are much better. Finally, the developers have listened!!
Very challenging. It wasn't too hard or too easy.
The Burgerbot is back!
This time you didn't just serve burgers. You served breakfast and lunch as well!!
Different customers such as Mimes and Skaters made the game a whole lot easier.
Power-ups got me out of some really tight spots.
