“I love that there is no ads, no need to buy power-ups, no annoying things from all the other cooking games, and nothing you have to pay for as an extra.”
“It's just so refreshing having no ads in the game and it is fun for both grown-ups and kids.”

The story is a highlight of the game, closely mirroring plotlines from the original show, which fans appreciate. However, players have reported frustrating issues, such as being unable to progress or view final cutscenes after reaching 100% story completion, leading to a sense of monotony and dissatisfaction. Overall, while the storyline is engaging and enjoyable, technical glitches detract from the experience.
“The storyline is probably the best part of this game.”
“Aesthetically it's a very nice game; I love the graphics and the story is entertaining.”
“One thing I am saddened by is that when you reach 100% story progress at each restaurant, it shows a 'downloading assets' screen, and when it reaches 100% downloaded, we don't get to see the final story cutscene - it takes you out to the restaurant selection screen where you move onto the next restaurant.”
“The story is almost absent.”
“Becomes monotonous quickly and not even the storyline can carry it through.”

The gameplay is highly praised for its engaging mechanics and lack of ads or in-app purchases, drawing favorable comparisons to "SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-Off." Players appreciate the interesting progression through various restaurants, which keeps the experience fresh despite some concerns about repetitive elements and pacing issues when maxing out restaurants. Overall, it offers a solid and enjoyable cooking game experience, particularly for Netflix subscribers.
“Gameplay-wise and graphics, one of the best cooking games out there.”
“Great gameplay; this is essentially a no ads, no IAP version of SpongeBob: Krusty Cook-Off.”
“Until then, it was a great game with an interesting progression between the restaurants: same overall gameplay, but they manage to tweak it so it remains difficult enough.”
“Right when I'm starting to feel a little repetitive with the gameplay, it's time to move on to another restaurant with new recipes, customers, etc. The only issue I'm now starting to have is that I've started to max out the restaurants before the required level to move forward, so even though the restaurant is maxed out, I have to play 20 more levels to move forward.”
“Uses the same icon, loading screen, and gameplay as Krusty Cook-Off.”

“One star: there's just no music or sound. I don't like that it's broken from Netflix.”
