A sims type game but not without problems
Do you like sims type games?
Although I like 'the sims' it does frustrate me that I have to feed them, see they are rested etc when I just want to get on with the game. Here in this game you don't have that problem (horrah!)
They seem to be automatons - not needing breaks etc.
This has the same look/graphics of the original sims.
Somehow I really got into this game- just got addicted to it. But like any sim type game, you can't pick it up and play for just 30 mins at a time.
But I would say, that those that like pure sims games may be a bit frustrated at the lack of control (see above) of making them eat etc. It's not that kind of a game! It's all about making your targets, seeing customers are happy, making profits, winning cooking competition etc.
I do think you need a walkthrough purely to give you tips on how to play this game and hints. I was lost at the beginning but hours into it, I got it. There is in built tips which does help but not fully.
If you have time to invest, then you may like this. Tips - click on everything - customers, menu etc. Even if you manage to do all the tips - it's not 100% you will still get customers not happy - I guess that's life!
I prefered restaurant 2 (not here in BF yet) it has more choice in furnishing, type of restaurants, food and even has a cake shop. It also gives you this original game free. I played this game first but I'd recommend you getting the 2nd game.
In all though it's still a fun playable game!

Awesome!
If you're into mindless games you can learn in 5 minutes, this game is not for you. You won't completely learn the game in your free 1 hour trial. There is even strategy in decorating your restaurants. As the game progresses, even more components are added. Many, many different aspects to this game and games within the game. Steep learning curve, but weeks and months of entertainment here. One of the best I've ever played.

Best game on all BFG
I have had this game for a few years now. I have been a member on BFG since like 2008, so I've played a LOT of the games here. What I love about Restaurant Empire is that I keep coming back to it.
Anyway, in my opinion, this truly is the best game BFG offers because it is also the most unique. In every genre of games you can find a cookie cutter copy of any hit game with a few minor details changed. This game at least is truly original. I think that's why I keep coming back. It's refreshing.
I love that there is a great deal of strategy involved, from menu pricing, recipe quality, what recipes you can serve, quality of service, quality of decor, and even if your stats are perfect (i.e. service, atmosphere, food, pricing) you will still get dinged because your restaurant is so good, people are getting turned away due to lack of seating! I know this sounds like a no win situation, but think of the valuable lesson this teaches us... there is no perfect scenario and sometimes your best is as good as it gets.

Standard Tycoon Game
The game isn't very challenging or fun. It's kind of slow and the game's textures are pretty bad.
It's not really worth paying full price for, but if you really want to give it a try, bear in mind that you're not going to be doing much other than wading through dialog, opening and closing your store, decorating, hiring better staff, and occasionally doing a small event.
In short, it's a basic tycoon/simulation game.

Good gameplay but loaded with design flaws
If you like cooking games, sim games, and are looking more something less casual and more intense, Restaurant Empire seems like an excellent title-- it has a lot of aspects I really enjoy such as picking out recipes, the minigames in the story mode, and decorating the restaurant. But it's loaded with design flaws in that there is no way to really address customer complaints or control the food quality. The sandbox mode also just lets too much happen at once while the story mode is incredibly limiting. All in all, it can be a fun play if you have cheat codes but has too much going on at once for the casual gamer while the seasoned gamer will get turned off by design flaws.

Favorite of All Time
Restaurant Empire is great! It requires patience for learning the systems but more than rewards in the end.

To complicated!
I have played so many games but this game is way to complicated, to many buttons, you want a challenge but there way to many buttons and things to learn, u supposed to relax and enjoy a game not feel like you studying!

One slow, overly clicking game!
Too many turns, how to turn, clicking, one feels like then in school all over again. A truly painfully hard to handle when your using the mouse. Boring to the end. Its a challenge if ones wants a headache. I wasted my money on this one. Blah!
