Street Food Simulator

Street Food Simulator was developed and published by civciv, with its initial release on 28 November 2025. The game was launched as an Early Access title, meaning that while it is playable, the developers plan to continue improving and expanding it over time. As of now, no official console ports or alternate‑platform versions have been announced; the primary release platform is PC (via Steam).

The game puts you in charge of running a street‑food stall — grilling hot dogs, hamburgers and snacks — walking around the city to find the best spots with hungry crowds, and building your reputation. You manage not only cooking and serving, but also selecting cart upgrades (grill, fridge, paint schemes, etc.), deciding where in the city to set up shop, and competing with other street‑food vendors. As you progress, you can grow your business: expand your offerings, improve your cart, and try to dominate the street‑food scene.

In the Early Access announcement and store description, the developers highlighted the core loop: cooking, cart customisation, location scouting and competition with rival vendors. The pitch focused on the combination of cooking mechanics, sandbox‑style freedom (choose your location, customise your cart), and the dynamic of competition and growth. The developers also emphasised plans for future updates: more cities to explore, additional street‑food recipes, deeper upgrade mechanics and greater variety to keep the experience fresh as the community gives feedback.

Because the game has just launched and is in Early Access, there’s little in the way of full critical reviews or broad community consensus. As of now, there are no substantial user‑reviews recorded. Some early players may engage with the cart mechanics and enjoy the concept, but it's too soon to draw firm conclusions about long‑term reception or how well the final product will match its ambitions.

Overall, Street Food Simulator represents an indie, casual take on street‑food business simulation: modest in scope, but with clear intentions to grow over time. For players who enjoy cooking sims and sandbox management games, it offers a simple premise with potential — but because it’s still early, its final form and reception remain to be seen.
