Curbside Kitchen A free cooking game in a street food truck
Cook, plate and serve street food from your truck before the rush-hour crowd loses patience. Five cuisines, 60 days, upgrades and combo tips.
About Curbside Kitchen
Curbside Kitchen is a fast, cheerful cooking game where you run a street-food truck through the busiest hour of the day. Hungry customers line up at your serving window, each with an order bubble and a patience bar that slowly drains. Your job is to cook, plate and serve before anyone storms off. Every tap matters: start food on a station, grab it before it burns, add the topping, pour the drinks and hand everything over in one quick tap on the customer.
You start with a chaat cart on a glowing night-market street, frying golden potato patties and crispy samosas. Earn stars to open four more trucks, each with its own city, cuisine and timing: grilled tacos and street corn on a sunny plaza, steaming noodle bowls and dumplings in a rainy lantern alley, waffles and pancakes in an autumn park, and charcoal skewers with fries on a sunset seaside walk. Each truck has 12 days, and each day mixes in new recipes, bigger orders and a faster crowd, so the rush grows at a steady, fair pace.
Serving fast pays. Customers tip more when they are still smiling, and quick serves in a row build a combo that adds a bonus to every order. Hit the coin goal for one, two or three stars, then spend your coins in the upgrade shop between days: quicker burners, street music that keeps customers patient, an extra plate on the tray, or a drink helper who pours drinks for you.
Curbside Kitchen is made for phones and quick breaks. Every control is a single tap, there is no dragging, and a day lasts one to two minutes. A friendly pointing finger teaches the first shift by letting you play, not by reading. It works just as well with a mouse or the keyboard, and your stars, coins and upgrades are saved automatically.
Can you keep the whole street happy and earn three stars on all 60 days? Fire up the grill and open the window.
How to play
Customers show what they want in a bubble above their head. Tap a cooking station to start its food; when the ring turns green, tap it again to move the food onto the tray before it burns. Tap the topping bowl to dress a plain item on the tray, and tap the drink to pour one. Then tap the customer to hand over everything they ordered. Serve quickly for tips and combos, and reach the coin goal to earn stars. Tap a burnt station to scrap the food, and use the bin to clear the newest tray item. Keyboard: 1 and 2 for the stations, 3 for the topping, 4 for the drink, Q W E for the customers from left to right, X for the bin, P or Esc to pause and M to mute.

FAQ
- How do I earn three stars?
- Serve customers while they are still happy for the biggest tips, and keep serving within a few seconds of each other to grow your combo. Tips and combo bonuses count toward the coin goal.
- What happens if food burns?
- Cooked food waits on its station for a few seconds, flashing red before it burns. Burnt food is worth nothing: tap the station to scrap it and start again.
- How do I unlock the other trucks?
- Earn at least one star on day 4 of a truck to open the next one. There are five trucks with 12 days each.
- What do upgrades do?
- Quick burners cook faster, street music makes customers wait longer, the extra plate adds a fourth tray slot, and the drink helper serves drinks for you. Upgrades work on every truck.
- Does my progress save?
- Yes. Your stars, coins and upgrades are saved on this device, and to your account when you are signed in.
- Can I play with a keyboard?
- Yes. Use 1 and 2 for the stations, 3 for the topping, 4 for the drink, Q W E for the customers, X for the bin, P to pause and M to mute.
