Restaurant DASH: Gordon Ramsay Reviews

by Shelley Rose

At first I loved this game and it was a lot of fun! Now I can’t even play in WiFi or regular service because it randomly closes the game, always says no connection retry so you can’t even get a goal going! When ever there is a special event my game never works right!! I try to play and let’s say happy hour is on well it doesn’t actually activate happy hour because it doesn’t work! I have emailed support multiple times and keep getting the same bull crap answer that they are working on it! I’m finally deleting the game because it’s more of a hassle to play and having to close the game and reopen the game is stupid! Nothing works right so please fix your crappy game so that people can actually play! I have had this game since it came out but it’s just a piece of crap now! I can make better games than that! Contacted support and they tell me it’s my phone data or WiFi when I have the strongest signal and they are just bull trying to make it seem like my phone messes up!! Fix your game goodness stop the dumb excuses that it’s not the game obviously it is if others are complaining about it!! Y’all are pathetic!!

As with every other game, this game turned out to be one where the creators just want people to pay more money. One of the best features was the ability to earn gold by watching ad videos which helped level up restaurants and speed up prep kitchen recipes. All of a sudden, and without warning they stopped the video feature. Their answer to earning gold is having to spend more money to complete offers and earn gold that way. The cost of most offers is ridiculous, and most of the items are not something I would ever purchase. While there are other ways to earn a few gold bars here and there, they take forever. There is also no longer an option to speed up recipes that help win levels, which means everything takes longer. I have purchased some level packs and gold because I was able to supplement what I earned in the game without spending a crazy amount. But, now I’m not going to play this game anymore and waste my time or money.

I have been playing this game for YEARS now, mainly because I’m a die hard Ramsay fan, but I am about to delete it. I have made several communications to “customer care” over the years but they NEVER LISTEN!! They ALWAYS blame the customer. “You need to delete stuff off your phone so it has enough GB to support the game.” “Make sure you’re connected to a GOOD WiFi.” Oh and “we aren’t affiliated with tapjoy so we are sorry you didn’t get the 1.5k gold you were promised if you made it level 15 in a game you would never have otherwise played, here have 10 gold hope that helps.” Are you serious?! I have told them repeatedly, I am always connected to WiFi at home or work where I have excellent connection! If my phone’s memory is an issue it’s because this game requires TOO MUCH of it and the game developers don’t care to improve their game. Period! No way in God’s green earth would I ever recommend you spend money on this game!! If you do everything you bought/upgraded could just disappear and all they would say is “make sure you’re connected to a good source of WiFi and delete everything else that might be more important than a game so we can take up a ridiculous amount of memory, oh and sorry for the inconvenience here have 10 gold.”

i think this is the first review i’ve given on an app.. long story short this was a very entertaining game. great concept and pretty diverse in terms of the global aspect. however, i’d advise you save your time and money, as it’s not worth getting attached to. there are constant bugs with apps consisting of connectivity issues (which have nothing to do with YOUR wifi connection, despite how many times customer support will try to tell you so), not getting properly compensated for group goals/purchases, lagging, etc. the most irritating part of it all though, is that customer service continues to reply with the same copy and paste scripted answer. “the team is aware of the issue and is working to resolve it,” every. single. time....there are reviews on here complaining of the exact same thing from 1+ year(s) ago..i think it’s safe to say it’s not getting resolved any time soon lol. at the end of the day it’s just a game, but like many others i don’t mind putting time + money into something that’s truly entertaining and enjoyable. RestaurantDASH is no longer that so i think i’m good.

by ForestMaidenTsuri

First off, I very rarely pay for apps, call me old school but 20$ for an hour of entertainment isn't worth it to me. However recently they had a killer deal I couldn't pass up and I dropped a few bucks, turns out I only got HALF of what I paid for, emailed support they told me it was a mistake on the advertisement you were never supposed to get all of it. I replied simply with a screenshot of what I PAID for and said um, that's not my fault is it? You should honor your deal or give me a refund. Neither of which ever happened. (Never dropping another dime on this game for sure after that.)

Second off, some of the levels are legit broken there is NO way to get gold stars on some of the levels. For example: Season 1 episode 10 of the pizza place. The customers come one at a time taking almost 4-5 seconds EACH to sit down and order. Even with the fast feet buff, AND the extra time buff, with 100% on all upgrades/food/decor I'm still at 6 customers before happy hour hits.... like seriously...?! And that's only season 1.

This game has great possibilities and I still play, but they burned their chance at me ever spending money on it again with their terrible support, and seriously... it's broken!

by Beware Of Scam Glitch

I deleted this game after I found there is a scam glitch in the game. Beware of losing your hearts and gold. I found out about this scam when I should have had well over 350 hearts but ended up with low 200’s every time I completed group goals to gain more hearts. All of my gold disappeared, and my hearts reduced each time I played a group goal, in particular ‘click on 5 objects on map’ to win 15 hearts. The game reduced my heart count by 10 and gave back 15. I tested this 2 days in a row then contacted customer support who made no attempt to research or fix the issue. I took screen shots before and after. Customer support blamed the issue on me. I did not send hearts to my friends list, nor buy anything. Yet again, customer support still said it’s my fault. They accused me of playing on an iPad which I do not have, and blamed it sharing my device, which I never do. I only play on 1 device - my phone and it’s always with me. Customer support was unresponsive and the developers are not accountable for scamming customers. Please beware! They discreetly reduce your hearts and gold when you perform the group goals. Keep an eye and count of your hearts and gold. Make sure they don’t scam you too.

The game itself is actually really fun. It’s your typical diner dash type of game. I like that it’s more from the chef perspective rather than a waitress like Diner Dash is. Theres plenty of game content to access. I have two major issues with the game- firstly, the social parts of the game stop working almost every day. There’s a section for participating in group challenges that just won’t load. It’s certainly not a connectivity issue on the part of the user as the other features such as 1v1 challenges called Duels will work fine. This is a big problem because it’s one of the very few ways to earn the things you’ll need to progress besides a limited number of game progression or achievement awards. Secondly, the ads on this game are broken. About half of them will not have an “x” button anywhere even minutes after the ad playing. I’ve tried clicking everywhere. You eventually have to close the game entirely and reopen to get rid of it. Im not one to typically complain about ads especially for a free game but to have ads you can’t close out of is very frustrating and doesn’t reflect well. I thought perhaps I’m missing an update so that’s what brought me here to the apps store. No update pending and the last one was 2 weeks again as of today.
I can’t imagine anyone spending money on in-game purchases for a game that acts up so much.

by Lstough1

I love this game. Have played it for years. The game itself is challenging but fun. If you’re patient you don’t have to spend any real money. However there are some major issues. The group goal will not let me play. It says there is an internet connection issue. I can do everything else that runs on internet so not sure why this won’t work. It also crashes a lot, taking tokens and supplies without getting to play the level. Also, if you don’t play for a few days, it takes FOREVER to redownload all the levels, social section and duel levels. Most recently it has to download everything every single time, taking up to 10 minutes just to play. As a result I recently didn’t play for almost a year just because I didn’t have the time or patience to wait for it. Thought when I came back it would be fixed bit it was worse. Please fix these issues. I really want to keep playing this game.

To be competitive in this game, you have to upgrade your restaurant. For that, you need gold. Gold is rather expensive to purchase with cash, and there are little opportunities for free gold in the game. I feel if this game offered more free gold, I would find it more fun to play. Even the bonus days where customers tip gold, it seems like you will only collect enough for 2-5 upgrades depending on the restaurants level and the time you spend playing. Over all, I do enjoy the game, but find it to be more of a rip off than actual worth. I’m probably going to delete it, just so I’m no longer tempted to buy gold. Also, the game has several glitches. Glitches regularly occur when trying to do group goals. The game doesn’t always track the progress of the goal correctly, so you can end up wasting recipes, clicking global objects, and challenge coins before you realize RestaurantDASH isn’t tracking your progress. Every now and then there will be an event that is advertised, but for some reason will not work when you play the game. Sometimes the game has a lot of trouble loading duels and social aspects to the game as well.

I like the dash style games, and this one is a bunch of fun. Unfortunately it has a couple major issues. First, I'm on a fixed income so I can't afford to purchase gold. Well, almost all of the upgrades require gold. I have no problem watching commercials to earn gold, however, I will click on the free gold button and request a video option and it tells me there are no videos available. Well, as soon as I close that screen, a video pops up, yet there's no videos for free gold. If there's no videos for free gold, then don't make us (consumers) watch a video 2 seconds later! Second, it can be very difficult to earn coins, so I have to keep replaying levels in order to have enough coins to play. The third and final thing about this game is when you go to your social hub and try to connect to a group goal, I get an error message saying to try the network again, and if you do manage to join a group goal, more than half the time it won't register your progress within the group goal, so you end up joining a goal and then you turn out not being able to help your group and essentially losing the group goal for your friends. So, as a stand alone game, it's a really good game. But as an online game, I don't recommend it at all!!!

by VictoriaNicola

I never rate a game but I had to for this one. This game is so much fun I love it but first off the in game purchases are ridiculous! Either you watch a stupid video for free to get 1 or 2 gold or you can try to earn it if you get lucky. They want you to buy all types o currency type things because only certain money things lets you do certain things if that makes since. Like different types of currency include gold, coins, hearts, groceries and like 4 different type of tickets and oh coins again but these coins are only used in one section of the game. This is insane. Seriously needs to fixed and maybe 1 or 2 types of currency is enough. Also RestaurantDASH always crashes when I am trying so play a game that you have to pay for with your “groceries” and you best believe that the game is still gonna take your currency even though it crashed and you couldn’t even play the game. I hope they fix this because I do love this game. I rather pay for it straight up then do all this in app purchases

I’ve been playing this game for over 4 years now. Make sure you sign up with your Facebook account so it can save your progress in case you delete the game and re-download after. I haven’t opened all the restaurants, but I can tell Sweet ‘n’ Savory has a glitch on the bottom seasoning station. Ads are a little annoying because you normally get the same 3 ads over, and over, and over, and over... They got rid of the happy hour where you could collect double the amount of gold, which is so lame... I refuse to pay for gold on a game that has glitches! You can watch ads for gold and to accelerate recipes, but after a certain amount of time, no ads will be available to watch. However, once you close out of that window, AN AD APPEARS!!!!!!! The game has been the same for years and they haven’t added anything more fun... It just seems like they want you to buy gold but they’re not improving the game much.

by Sassytxgirl

I have loved this game from day one. Challenging but you have so many opportunities to earn free gold you just need to have patience to save it up. Ply this religiously every day!!! That being said it needs some improvement in parts of the gameplay.. I really wish they would fix the glitches w the group goals and the constant network errors. I know it’s not my internet as I have no trouble accessing internet w other apps at the same time.. also, so frustrating to not have your actions count against your goal.. u have to be sure it’s showing on the main screen and that’s not guaranteed ur actions will count I normally have to log out and back in before I start the actions for the goal which is a BIG pain!!!! So many times I have missed on completing a goal and wasting precious hearts. I have reported the goal issue twice and they still haven’t fixed the issue. They are quick to respond and the first time I complained they offered some gold as compensation second just got general response and nothing still has been fixed!! Would gladly give 5 stars if they fix this issue

by RyleesMom0823

But I can’t. Not that it’s not fun, it is. In the beginning. But there are some major bugs in this game that I have repeatedly emailed about but they don’t get fixed. Challenges don’t get competed even after you click on one and waste hearts to try and complete a challenge like use super Gordon 4 times. Well you do and it doesn’t register so you have to try again but eventually you run out of ingredients needed to play the game. You really need to have money available or a lot of time to try earning gold and coins or you’ll never be able to get the goal, get 5 stars in every episode. Everything in the game is limited, and to get beyond that, you need money. If all the bugs were worked out it wouldn’t be so bad but it’s very frustrating. You can play for 20 minutes or so before you run out of ingredients, then you either buy more with money or you wait. Fun game, still play it but could be a lot better.

by Chimten

This is an addicting game, it’s fun to manage multiple restaurants while leveling up and producing new recipes. As you invest more time in the game, you realize that it’s pretty challenging to achieve the 3 & 5 star levels without spending for upgrades. I only discovered the game a few months ago and didn’t realize that the game has already been out for 2 years. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like there have been any new updates such as new restaurants in this game in over a year. That’s why I agree with the other comment to be wary of the spending. The good news is that they released a new update today and it does optimize the game for the iPhone X series, or at least it does for my iXR, but I’m finding that some of the icons look cut off like the bottom right corner. I don’t think it’ll affect game play but it’ll be interesting to see how things go with the first update in a year!

This game is my all time favorite! When I was younger I would play the dinner dash games all the time and then I randomly stumbled on to this game and love it. You know those games that take you so far and then the only way to move forward is spending actually money? NOT this game. Seriously, you have so many opportunities to earn gold; between the daily goals with 3 a day , to serving the inspector which gave me 20 and to using your duel tickets each week to get at least 15. Not to mention they have it where the “guests” tip you in gold. This is the longest I have ever stuck with a game so please give it a chance. I have used some of my own money once in a while but I promise you, you can play it without.

UPDATED REVIEW: please fix the download aspect of the game. I don’t want to have to wait 30 min to play the game. The duels, and sites take forever to load no matter the WiFi or your data. I starting to lose Interest in the game and I’ve put a lot of hours into it . :(.

.. also to the review that says some of the episodes are unbeatable, especially the pizza season 1 . It is beatable I’ve gotten 5 stars and gold in every episode and season on that site

by Trina H

I have been playing for about a year. I love it. Like all apps there are glitches but for the most part I’ve had no major issues. I have broke down and spent real money on gold before but they have some really good deals that are hard to pass up, especially if you are a constant player like myself. The only thing I don’t like are some of the “free gold offers”. I usually do these on the double gold weekends and some of the them have small print rules that I learned early on to read carefully. The support team has fix all but 1 of the problems I’ve had getting paid out for the gold, I would say over all I’m happy with the service I have received.

by Wolfpup606

I have no idea if you can help me or not but I thought that I would try... I have had this glorious game for nearly a year; unlocked many of the restaurants, had spent hours and hours and hours downloading other games and playing them just to have gold to play around with in game... but when I got on this morning, something had happened and literally all of my progress was destroyed. I have already flipped this game onto several different devices, and have always kept it logged in with my Facebook so I never lose my place... well; when I tried Facebook again, it still has nothing saved. I can’t imagine having to start over, in fact I don’t know if I can... I had spent so much time on it already; and am very discouraged and put off by this.

by Neontuzo

It’s very fun to play this game, I’ve been playing for a couple of years now and still continue to play, continue to buy more restaurants and to get max stars in them. I don’t like every Jew place I open, some just have food that look a little funny. I do hate the limit of only being able to play until you run out of grocery bags. I with you could play as long as you want like other kitchen game apps. They used to have unlimited playing time on weekends and am surprised they took that off. I can spend a long time playing and having fun. It can be a challenge if u don’t spend real money, but I still love it. I have used a bit of money on the game and I found it worth it because it’s super entertaining

by Sturg77

I’ve been playing this game for years, and I love it. I’m a huge Gordon Ramsey fan and RestaurantDASH captures his personality. He even cusses you out when you make a mistake, which I find hilarious.

Multiple venues offer plenty of variety. Each season becomes increasingly difficult, without becoming frustrating. Each new dish is introduced with a brief, and very helpful tutorial. The duel portion of the game is also fun, and provides the opportunity to earn cool stuff, including supplies and gold. Serving the Wishelin Inspector also gives you goodies, and you can buy and sell ingredients for coins.

I’ve seen some reviewers complain about the cost, but if you’re patient, and play regularly, there are plenty of opportunities to get gold, supplies, and avatar accessories without spending real world money. But again, it does take some time to earn enough gold to buy the major upgrades. If you’re less patient, go ahead a spend the money, it’s worth it.

Initially the game was a bit glitchy, but the developers seem to have worked out the kinks. I haven’t had a issue with game play for the past year.

The graphics are great and the music is cool.

If you like cooking games, I really suggest you give this one a try. There’s not another one on the market with this much personality, and style.
