There is a reason Diner Dash is so popular -- the simple time management exercise is addictive and it can be very satisfying when you get an efficient restaurant up and running. But what makes for a perfect casual PC game doesn't necessarily translate well to the living room. This is a six-year old game that millions of people have already played, so it's not the most exciting XBLA release. The visuals are also pretty bland and the controls can be finicky. There is fun to be had, though, particularly with the cooperative multiplayer mode (which is available online). Diner Dash on XBLA will best be enjoyed by people who haven't played the PC original or its many sequels and are in the mood for something light.
