The story aspect of the game is currently underdeveloped, with many players noting the absence of a cohesive narrative in the early access version. While some appreciate the humorous writing and nostalgic elements from previous installments, they express a desire for a more engaging and polished story mode, as the existing gameplay feels challenging and lacks a clear backstory. Overall, players are hopeful for future updates that will enhance the storytelling experience.
“The writing is so good I could read every description and every line of the story a million times and not be tired of it.”
“All this being said - my absolute favorite part of this series has always been the humorous writing and the story.”
“I cannot wait for the storyline for this one - but I am already thrilled by all the new things Burger Shop 3 adds to an already perfect series.”
“There really isn't a story in Burger Shop 3 yet; it's just that you own a franchise.”
“No glitches really, and the only problem currently is that there is no story and some items don't have descriptions.”
“As far as the gameplay goes, all is as perfect as I remember, but I wish there was a backstory to these stages.”

The gameplay is praised for its smoothness and engaging mechanics, building on the foundations of the previous titles while introducing new restaurant themes and food varieties, such as Mexican, Italian, and Asian cuisines. While some players find certain aspects, like sushi-making and customer mechanics, challenging or confusing, the overall experience is described as fun and addictive, with innovative features that enhance the classic point-and-click style. Despite being in early access, the game is seen as a worthy continuation of the series, offering over 300 levels of gameplay that retains the charm of its predecessors.
“Otherwise, very fun game; the addition of new mechanics adds a new layer of difficulty.”
“It takes what the first two games did and found ways to add lots of new mechanics in ways I didn't even think of.”
“As they did with Burger Shop 2, Gobit Games have perfected the addictive form of gameplay—with interesting and regular additions and the switching in restaurant styles keeping it interesting.”
“I would not recommend buying this game until they make it look different than the previous game or add new game mechanics.”
“Some gameplay innovations and improvements, but more or less it's the same game.”
“My only issues are how difficult the sushi making can be, how the cafe has similar looking dispensers I get mixed up occasionally, and the mechanics of some customers like the robot not being explained very well.”

“The graphics are awesome.”
“If you're still wondering why this game has so many positive reviews despite the not-so-modern graphics, it's because this game (and series) has soul.”

“The same graphics are being used from Burger Shop 2 and I couldn't find anything new.”
“I do know that the game is currently in development and making the game look similar to its prequel can bring a bit of nostalgia, but we are living in 2024 and these graphics just don't cut it anymore.”
