Cook Burgers

Cook Burgers is a physics-based sandbox burger restaurant game by solo developer Sssqd, one of the longest-running cooking games on Roblox with continuous updates since March 2019. Players make burgers from scratch, serve customers to earn Money, explore a city full of secrets, and navigate a chaotic multiplayer environment with rats, potions, and mind-control gadgets. At 646.9 million visits and 1.7 million favorites across more than seven years of active development, Cook Burgers is one of the most enduring games on the platform. The official Fandom wiki at cook-burgers.fandom.com spans 4,047 pages - developer-run and among the largest Roblox game wikis in existence.

The loop rewards both restaurant efficiency and sandbox chaos - the city holds as many surprises as the kitchen:

• 💼 Restaurant operation - purchase ingredients from the Supermarket and Bakery, cook bacon and other items to precise doneness on the grill, assemble burgers, and serve customers at the counter for Money
• 🏆 Critic system - a special high-paying Critic NPC spawns when bacon is in the kitchen; serving a burger with 2,000 or more Critic Points earns the legendary Golden Chef badge and hat
• ⚔️ Rat warfare - NPC rats steal ingredients from the floor and Worker Rats drive forklifts; players can become a rat via the Stranger Potion from the Laboratory or the Instant Cat and Exotic Rat gamepasses
• 🗺️ City exploration - explore the Supermarket, Bakery, Bank, Hardware Store, The Sewers underground area, and the Laboratory housing the rare Stranger Potion machine
• 💎 Hat reward system - badges unlock wearable hats with special abilities, from the Bun Hat (faster walk speed at $200 earned) to the Microwave Hat (zaps nearby rats at $400) to the ultra-rare Serious Dedication hat from building a 103.3-meter burger
• 🎭 VR support - Cook Burgers supports Oculus and compatible VR play with two controllers, one of the few Roblox cooking games with documented VR gameplay

The economy is straightforward - Money funds ingredient purchases - but the badge system creates a collector's ladder that has kept players engaged for years. The X-27 Prototype gamepass adds a mind-control headset that lets players grab others, spawning endless chaos in 6-player servers.

Cook Burgers occupies a comedic chaotic cooking niche that no other Roblox game has replicated at its scale. After seven years of updates, it remains one of the clearest examples of long-term solo developer success on the platform.
