In 2007, the series was nominated for the 2006 Best Casual Game of the Year award. The game was originally rated 3.5/5 stars by Gamezebo.

The Winter Edition was similar to the first game, but with a winter/Christmas theme and no achievement trophies. In November of the same year, a special edition of the series was released: The Winter Edition. The first series game, however, did not have much of a storyline, and instead focused on the gameplay. Originally, players were challenged to successfully run eight restaurants that went for five days each. The series was publicly released on September 21, 2006.

The games tell the story of Emily, a waitress who aspires to one day run her own restaurant, and who works in several other restaurants in order to earn the money to eventually make her dream come true. From the 7th game onwards, the games are developed by Gamehouse Studios and Blue Giraffe. Delicious is a series of time management casual games that is developed by Zylom Studios and later on by Gamehouse Studios.
