A game were you balance your earnings with buying new recipes, upgrades, advertising, and most importantly buying more ingredients. Keep track of the news so you can determine which is going to sell the best and price adjust your menu accordingly. Your goal is to push your adversary Grub Burger out of the market. Once you get familiar with the mechanics it's not a bad game.
I have trouble with the beginning cut sequence when I start a new file, I have an omen laptop with windows 10 home ed. Don't know if that's why or if it's just the game. It's a game that I'd recommend getting on sale rather then pay the full price.

A nice game if you like tycoon type games. Downside is it won't play in full screen mode. Playable in window mode but would be better if the window could be expanded.

It wouldn't go past the intro menu ingame. And then I couldn't escape out of it. Tried uninstalling and leaving it open. Had to shut the computer down to get back to desktop.

I liked playing this as a kid, but coming back to it now, I find the game-play monotonous and the game itself outdated.
I recommend this if you like repetitive game-play and simple financial strategy, though it is rather short and it crashes randomly (Most likely due to age).

While I did have fun, I did notice a review said they finished this game in 4 hours.. I have to agree, this game could definitely be finished in one sitting. I finished the game over 2 days when I had the time to play.
It was a fun game, but kinda short, and definitely unlike the normal DinerDash games I've played before. Although still fun and entertaining.
Overall, I would recommend the game.

This is quite a fun game, it had replay value since there is different customers flow, challenge and popular ingredient every day. This game make you think and try to manage more efficiently. There is small problems such as the replay button doesn't work and some daily challenge is impossible to accomplish. Other than that this is still a interesting fun game and I do wish it had a sequel.

I bought for wife. Wife happy. Happy wife, happy life.
I did have to troubleshoot at beginning for it to work. It froze every time I/she clicked on start game. After I fixed it, it works 100% of time.
I followed dragonsrage48's fix
1. Find the games executable. Right click it, go to compatibility, and do these two things; Turn off Fullscreen optomizations and Run in 640x480 mode.
2. When the game starts, Hit CTRL, ALT and DELETE. Open Task manager BUT DO NOT terminate the program. Wait until it pulls you to your Desktop. When it does, open the game and you'll see the Title Screen! Open the games settings and turn off Full Screen until after the first cutscene ends.

Got cause i played these as a kid and thought it would be fun. However when i click play the whole thing crashes completely & I can't do anything. I've tried a few different things, nothing has worked. Broken game and a waste of money

Very short game, I finished it in 4 hours. While playing, I didn't find the game to be that much fun, and I would not recommend it to anyone unless it was free.
