Restaurant Story Wiki

I have been using this app for over a year, it’s great. I love the way you can make it your own. But there are some changes I would like to be made. First the gems, a lot of people are having problems with the free vids disappearing. I got this game in 2018 and played for a few months then I deleted it. I had already made a purchase for gems. Then a few months later I got it back all my stuff was still there😀. But after I realized the vids for gems were gone! I was really mad, I looked it up a bunch of times and found out they would not come back. My sister got the game and she kept getting ads. She was upset because things costed to much. I would agree but in higher levels it’s not that bad. But there is a whole other story about gems in that situation. Lots of people have deleted the game because of thisThe second thing I don’t like is expanding it costs 1 mil to expand a few more blocks! It’s almost impossible to get 1 mil without spending. Thanks for listening I hope you can consider the changes.

This game improves cognition. I played it religiously about 4-5 years ago during a really stressful time in my life and it help me to stay sharp, I guess because of the planning involved with cooking the food and collecting gems for buying things and planning the restaurant layout. It’s really fun, too. But, I KNOW that it actually helped me and that’s why I am playing it again. I had three iPads and they all had a different restaurant. Now, evidently, your devices link up and pull up the same restaurant. No problem because I don’t have time for three these days. I do miss my Sushi Party and Katty’s Diner, though. Maybe I can try to visit and see if they still exist in the ether world. Anyway, I know it kind of looks like a kids game, but it takes a lot of thought and strategy if you want to build a cool restaurant that works and flows. Highly recommend.

The game is great, free game is awesome. If the purchasing of gems is not generating enuff revenue, then i think Lava Games should just ask for donations!! I see/dismiss 4 Lava Games ads each time i return to my shop. This equals more than 60 ads per day.....per game!!!!!!! The use of techniques like bombarding players with multiple popups so that players accidentally choose to download more "free" games is ludicrous to loyal gamers already playing 3 to 4 Lava games! Rewrite your games so avid players and multi-game players see fewer ads especially long term players who've spent hundreds on gems!!! These player may become willing to donate. But the mindless ads we are force to tolerate say to the player, this game is paid for by advertisers and no player will donate if they have to sit through ads 10-20 times a day.

This game are the best! Seriously it have a enjoyable experience to have a restaurant, but it have some negative things, when you decide to buy a new stove they won’t let you buy it because you have to spend 49 gems for unlocking it, it just annoying, you have to wait to collect the gems like for a week, Especially when you can’t spend your money on buying gems, And when i cook some food and I exit the game to wait or just leave the phone alone, You can’t miss your order because it will be corrupt if you didn’t open the game, Especially when the food takes more than 4 hours, I feel mad, i waited the whole day for the food, Will also the bugs are annoying people, i hope the game just remove them, i’ve got an Advice, maybe you should low the prices it’s soo expensive!! And also the expand is really expensive , when i expand my restaurant for 10,000 it doesn’t change anything, Just gives a small space, soo i hope you fix these mistakes that annoyed The beginners, And that’s all, thank you❤️❤️

I really enjoy this app. I have had mostly good experiences with it and haven’t experienced many glitches. But I did have an issue with the Facebook account option. Whatever you do, DO NOT use the same Facebook account between different restaurants just to get the gem reward. I did this with a friend and we almost both lost all of our data! Also on occasion I get a “processing...” pop-up on the screen that will not go away until you completely close out the app. But please keep in mind that this is a very old app (10yrs+) so you have to be patient. If you are annoyed by slow loading, stuck pop-ups, and things like that, just get restaurant story 2! That has newer programs but I still thoroughly enjoy this app and find it extremely nostalgic as I played this lots when I was younger. It is very relaxing as well and can keep anyone entertained!! Totally recommend

I’ve been playing restaurant and bakery story for 10 years. I enjoy the ability to create something and watch it bloom. I love the ability to communicate with people from all over the world. I love the atmosphere of kindness, caring and assistance the neighbors share. Thank You for giving us the ability to play our stories on several devices. That being said I really don’t enjoy going through the menu or the gift items. It is endless and difficult to find what you want. Is there someway you can either alphabetize it, group it or better yet give us the ability to “search” for it. Also considering the amount of money we spend on our stories; I resent having your ads interrupt my play. It is extremely disruptive. If this were a free game I could understand it but I have three shops and spend money on each shop. Get rid of the interruptions!!!!!!

I like this game and at level 99 . I need to play to keep my rate at 3/4 stars . It’s a nice game but gems are are to get . How about bringing back some items and goals that many have missed out on like the Gems dispensers and older goal gifts like the pink poodle or the penguins? A button to click to get all food would be awesome. Making goals easier to achieve instead of impossible so it’s more fun.. Not losing my 4 star rating if I miss a day or 2 of not playing .. I have met some really awesome people. For that reason I would give 5 stars . But , I am giving 4 stars because it keeps kicking me off or can be extremely slow and sluggish to play . Please consider at least bring back the gems machines for those who missed it the first time ..

I love this game so much but there’s A LOT of bugs!!! First sometimes when I cook something it will take my money and not start cooking, I’ll have to constantly press cook on the food/drink again it’s annoying because it’s a waste of in game money... second when someone leaves tips on the table and you try to collect them, sometimes the tips will just stay there to either recollect multiple times or just act as if they already got picked up but will stay there and there’s nothing you can do... last thing is sometimes when I visit others restaurants, my stove stays in the same place in their restaurant where the stove would be in mine. Other than the bugs.. the ads are a big problem. I try to cook something and I get like 2 ads before I can even play the game.. it’s ridiculous and I’m not going to pay for an ad remover if there was one mad. Nobody has that kind of money right now anyways lol. Other than that I love this game and I recommend it.

There are wayyyyy too many ads and constantly freezing up during loading on my iPhone XR. I get 2 ad pop ups while clearing stoves. The goals are too time consuming like a full time job. The number of gifts you can accept daily should be increased since it requires so much to build an oven and atleast 5 of them to complete each part of the goal, it’s rare I finish one and I have 80 neighbors. If you have to prepare 30dishes and it takes 2 or 10 hours for each to cook, then it either takes too many days and requires gems to complete or you lack sleep!! It’s not worth neglecting REAL LIFE ISSUES! Improve these issues please!! I consider deleting altogether because of the multitude of issues. And I can hardly enlarge my territory because it takes all my money to buy expensive floors and walls to even earn privilege of buying stove to start goal! Lower the prices! It’s fun but getting barely worth it!

I doubt you’re reading these reviews but... Get rid of the star rating. It’s too time consuming having to tip 100+ neighbors every day. Plus the coins and XP mean nothing when you’re maxed on level 99. “How else would you know if this person is active or not?” Easy. There should be an indication next to someone’s bakery/restaurant name or when you click on their wall (active 2 mins ago, active 1 day ago, active 4 weeks ago). Or it could be posted on the community’s bakeries/restaurants. You would know when they were last on!! Also there should be a “select all” when gifting/requesting neighbors instead of selecting each and every one. Such a hassle. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Also: with each new goal, each appliance requires way too many parts to build one stove/oven. Or extend the goal by a few days. (Say you need 40 part A’s and 20 part B’s. It’s gonna take almost 2 days to complete 40 part A’s because we only get 20 neighbor-sent pieces every day. So this leaves you continuously prepping food for pieces 1-4 to drop so you can redeem them for part A and part B. Pieces don’t drop enough when prepping food either. I waste so much coins just prepping food and then starting a new dish in order to get pieces 1-4. Ridiculous. ANDDD, we should be able to sell parts we no longer need. Other than that, I’ve been playing for almost 10 years. It’s the only good bakery/restaurant game I could find.

I used to play this game back when I had an iPhone 4. I don’t really remember when that was 2013 maybe? I just started playing again a few months again, but I’m not particularly enjoying it. You can’t do much without the having neighbors, and as you progress you need more and more neighbors. Going around tipping and gifting all your neighbors is time consuming because it takes a while to load the screens. I’ve stopped completing the goals because I have a job and a life and I don’t have time to keep opening the game every hour or two to make sure the food for the goal doesn’t go bad before I can serve it. Not to mention the goals have so many parts you really need to be on top of the timing to finish it in the 10 days because you’ll have to cook large amounts of foods that take 16 hours. The appliances you build for the goal aren’t worth the time or the money you spend making them. They make like 3 dishes that take too much time for the money you get in return. Also, apps start playing when you’re in the middle of serving or prepping food which is annoying, and they usually are 30 seconds with no options to skip. The game will sometimes freeze during loading and you have to force quit for it to work again. Today my game tells me there is no internet connection and will not open, but I’ve been using the internet on my IPad for other things. I’m seriously considering deleting the game.

This is a very nice game but it takes too long to load and when it does and you’re playing it sometimes just start processing in the middle of the game and stay for a long time unless you come out of it and go back in. There are also times you have collected your food and when you go back in the same food you collected has spoiled on the store making you think you have never collected it to begin with. It has too many pop up ads especially when you just load the game which is annoying. And there are times you watched a video to collect gems but you don’t receive the gems when done. If they could fix these problems then it will be perfect. In addition I would appreciate it if they could tell you which appliance you need to cook the requested food instead of me searching every appliance just to find the food for the goal. Another change I would like to see is the reduction of parts needed to build an appliance. Make these changes in restaurant story and bakery story and I will be more willing to play the game more offen.

Been playing this game since 2014... it has since become very expensive and they recycle goals OVER and OVER again, cooking same recipes over and over again. At the same time it TAKES an exorbitant amount of time to visit and gift neighbors, which you MUST do if you want to complete goals in time, or spend your hard earned money on gems in order to complete. Which might not be SO bad, if it didn’t take 72 pieces to complete 1 goal appliance and you need at LEAST 3 appliances to complete goal in time! And the glitches!! It makes at LEAST 3 attempts to LOAD the game when you open it! I’ll open the game and attempt to perform some actions and the actions disappear, or better yet, the FOOD disappears within a minute or two opening game and it spontaneously loads itself again! This happens EVERY time I open the game... really sad and frustrating that this game has devolved to this point.... so disappointing. By the way, I play on an iPhone11.

Absolutely horrible. I've installed and uninstalled this game over 25 times in less than a MONTH! It continues to say "loading" right in the middle of the game. This can go on for up to an hour or more unless you uninstall & then reinstall again. Also, there are times when my food is ready to serve, & in the event of doing so, the food still appears to be on the stove even when I press the recipe book to start a new dish. The old dish still appears right there on the screen as though it hadn't been served yet. Team Lava has also made it almost impossible to receive gems anymore for installation of other games and/or goal completions. I've invested so much money into not just this game but "Nightclub Story & Castle Story" as well, & as of recently, they BOTH have both been pulled from IOS & my Kindle fire tablet & is no longer available on those devices. This game used be so much fun, but now with the "loading" & other issues mentioned, it's made me just want to uninstall the game INDEFINITELY. Fortunately, I don't experience this issue with Bakery Story.
