Dave & Buster’s

Went on a Saturday with the wife and kids and sat out on the patio. Server acted like she didn’t want to be there. Any time we needed her we had to go find her. Food was below average bar food. My son and I did not finish. I had the fried fish my son had hot dog wrapped things…
Wife and daughter had Mac and cheese and sliders. I had a beer wife had a mule she sent back. It was horrible!
Both the drinks and food were over priced for what we got. Time for games. I felt the cost of the games were high my card wouldn’t work in all the games and some games were not working…
Won’t b back.

Our family comes here about once a year for lunch and games. Usually the chicken fingers are great, but today they were lukewarm. The fries were old and dried out. The dipping sauces were bland. Service was incredibly slow.

Not a bad joint to come to with your kids. I like taking my son here and spend time playing games with him. I do drop about $ 50 every time I do come here though. However, priceless to spend some time with your kid and put a smile on his face. Anyway, good place to hang out during the winter months to past some time and get your kid a little activity.

I’ve been here before and I’m really not impressed with it at all but, it seems to be very popular with the younger people and children, and families and I’m not slamming that. It’s just not my bag and we went last Saturday and had gone for a late lunch. By the time we were finished, two hours later, there was a line all the way out the door. The menu to me is typical of these nation-​wide chains that cater to a rather bland palate, although there are some interesting items. But, I suppose this is how these places are so widely acceptable. It’s way noisy but the service was superb. In this visit, I made a mistake and thought I was ordering the grilled steak salad. It was may mistake but the server was very gracious and offered to take it back. I asked her just to replace the meat and not waste the whole thing. She went out of her way not to make me feel embarrassed even though, it was completely my error and not hers or the kitchen staff. For this, I greatly appreciate it. I wish I could remember her name. Something like Asia? I should have paid closer attention. She was very professional, very pleasant and very attentive. I do appreciate that. Now, I will say that the grilled steak salad was impressive. It was huge! And a beautifully presented tray of chopped fresh vegetables, grilled steak, chopped bacon and blue cheese. I had to take half of it home, which I ate with a sandwich for a late dinner, later that night. I only came back because of a friend and will most likely not go out of my way to come here because, like I said, it’s just not my scene.

I’ve had only good experiences here. recently we had a company luncheon here. the server was super fun and the food was great for an arcade style restaurant. or is it a restaurant style arcade? which ever.
You can go through lots of $$$ in a short period in the arcade. so pace yourself. lots of variety from first person shooters, to driving games, to tons of midway carnival type games where you can win tickets to buy prizes. they got rid of the tickets though and it all just goes on your card.

shhh!!! Best kept secret. Worlds best salad is kept here. The Lawnmower, more than enough for 2 people.
I this salad

My daughter wanted to celebrate here after getting married last Saturday night. We showed up asking for a table for 19, as we were unable to make any kind of reservations ahead of time. We were pleasantly surprised to be shown to a big table in an overflow room, where we were able to enjoy space and a quiet atmosphere to be able to talk with all our guests. Oue waitress was AMAZING! She was so patient as all the guests ordered drinks, appetizers and entrees at different times. We had a few children running around while she was trying to serve us, and again, she was so patient and obliging. She kept up with all our refills as guests came and went out to the arcade. We also brought a wedding cake which we were able to set up in the room. Thank you for making a great night even better. A big thank you to our waitress. .. I am so sorry that I don’t have her name. She is the face of D & B for us.

It’s not uncommon for me to go here a dozen times a year. The food is surprisingly upscale considering the atmosphere and venue. Sometimes it’s just a great place to shoot a few games of pool. The company rotates the games often enough to keep every trip a new experience while holding on to the cornerstone games like ski ball. Most of the stores are going paperless with the tickets (keeping them on your powerplay card). The only drawback is that the drinks are fairly expensive, but normally I’m not drinking there anyways. This business is so good that I own stock via the Loyal3 platform. :)

I enjoyed my visit overall. The food was glorified typical bar fare, but good quality. The arcade was well maintained and had some pretty bomb games.
However, the child population inside was contrary to the «beer and video games» image construed by the commercials on TV.
Now parents don’t have to go to the bar across the street from Chuck-​e-​Cheese! DnB’s adds the much needed (apparently) convenience of getting drunk while their kids can blow off some steam, in the same place!
Aside from having kids drool on your Rambo game, as you rack up some gnarly points. As well as avoiding conflict from those angry looking tweens hogging the coolest looking game. It was alright.
Tl;dr #isthatabooger #screamingchildren #wherearetheirparents #whyistherenotacurfew

I have been here quite a few times and I always have fun! I usually do the Eat and Play combo, but not always, but I always eat and play. I’ve had the tacos, cheesesteak, and several appetizers that I have eaten as meals.
Then there are the games! I love the games! I have won a lot of prizes. They are tons of fun.
If you go on Wednesdays you get double points!
Have fun!

We had a great time here! Disclaimer: we did not eat at the restaurant so I cannot speak to the quality of that! We strictly came as a family game date with my husband and our 3 year old and 9 month old sons. For those of you worried it may be too advanced for your toddler– DONT BE! My son had a blast and threw a mini fit when we had to leave (probably the only con to our day!)
The games are so fun! Updated and fresh! My husband and I love the basketball shooting game and not only do the have the original but they also have a bigger one with regulation size basketballs.
My son loved the life size fruit ninja and subway surfer they offered. Again, if your toddler has ever played iPad or iPhone apps, then they would love it here! We went on a Friday around 2pm and it wasn’t busy at all, although it started to fill up around 4 as we left (probably due to the Royals game coming on soon as well). If you’re looking for some fun arcade games, definitely a spot you and your family will love!

I’ve been going to this location for about 10 years now. As far as food, they have a pretty good menu (although not a huge selection, they have about as many options as Applebee’s) and I’ve never had something I didn’t like. The service has mostly been pretty good, nothing that I’ve ever had to complain about.
They always have the latest arcade games, and there’s plenty of selection for adults and kids alike. D&B is a great place for date night, girls/​guys night out, family night, anything! It’s one of my favorite places to have a first date or blind date, as you can break the ice in a fun way without there being awkward silences. As far as cost goes, it’s pretty reasonable for food and/​or games. Be sure to check out the deals where you can get food and an arcade card with $ 10+ play credits for a low price.

The cocktails are on the pricey side for the amount that you get. Also, ordered the calamari for our appetizer, which they charge $ 10 for and it was mostly fried onions (some with a vinegar aftertaste) with some calamari on top. Definitely not worth the price. The cheesesteak was really good, as was the kc strip although it was slightly undercooked.
Our waitress was inattentive and we had to ask three times for a power play menu.

Go Wednesday night!
All the games are 50% off and you have a ton of fun for cheap. My wife and I both love video games. So, we naturally have a ton of fun when we go.
I suggest playing the group games and not focusing on winning tickets. Because it’s really hard to win anything substantial.

The business model is brilliant… offer average food, offer above average games, charge above average prices for everything, add kids, and bingo… pull up your cash machine and start filling it.
D&B tries real hard presenting good food, but it generally is a hint above average, never had great food, but never had horrible food…“it is” a glorified bar. But we keep coming back, although never on a weekend or night, not worth fighting the crowds, because kids and adults still love trying to kill millions of aliens, or fly a space ship through the galaxy to Mars, or just wanna kill millions of humans to get your initials on the top of the list… we love our escapes and D&B fulfills a big one. Come to think of it, this is one of the last big arcades, places we enjoyed as kids where we used to spend hours pumping quarters into machines trying to eat dots, or explode asteroids, or escape space invaders…
Omg…I’m wasting valuable gaming time… gotta go and try and kill something… I love this place… lol…still a kid…

The hubby has mentioned Dave & Buster’s several times as a place he’d like to check out, so this weekend we made the trek up to the Legends to check it out.
First, we stopped in the restaurant for a bite to eat. It took several minutes for the host to show up and by then, a line was starting to form to be seated, although there was lots of seating available. When we were almost at the front of the line, a family barged in front of us and the host chose to go ahead and seat them rather than signaling to us even though we’d been waiting for quite some time. Not the end of the world, but he could have executed this better.
Once seated, our waitress was very nice and service was fast. She steered us towards meals that had game cards built into the price at a slight discount on the game cards. My hubby had a meat trio dish that had skewers of chicken, shrimp and something else… I can’t recall. He ate all of his dish saying it was «fine.» I ordered the Philly Cheese Steak and it was edible, but mostly flavorless. The meat was tender and juicy, but the entire sandwich was lacking in flavor aside from saltiness. My sammy came with fries that were really good. For the quality, our meal was overpriced even if you consider that we got a $ 10 and a $ 20 game card out of the deal.
Not having been here previously, we really didn’t have much of an idea regarding what the games entailed. It seemed like most of them were just games of chance that quickly wiped out credits on your card replacing them with a few «tickets» that were redeemable for stupid crap (cheap toys or stuffed animals) or appetizers at the restaurant. I can see that this place could suck piles of money out of some poor unsuspecting parents.
After wandering around the arcade area like lost fools looking for something that might actually be fun to play, we wasted about half the value of our cards, before coming to the realization that it really wasn’t much fun in there if you weren’t a child. So we found a family and handed them our cards and left. Probably will never return.

Fun place but if they advertise as an adult arcade & restaurant then there should be NO small children running around hogging all the games. The very last thing i want to see is an infant being bottle fed by a game or the bar. If they at least have a time when all kids are to be out, I’d feel better about the place. So games are great but others are really pointless & take up space. I think the credits per game are a bit on the high side too & they don’t tell you what a price per credit is like. So you don’t really know how many credits you need. The service is fairly friendly but the food is quite average & less than what you expected. Food delivery & table turnover is VERY slow. Once waited 2hrs for dinner entrée.

We took advantage of the Eat and Play combo at the recommendation of our server. He was very informative and wanted us to get the biggest bang for our buck! I ordered the Island Grilled Trifecta for $ 26.99 (which included the $ 20 power play card). The dish had an abundance of flavor and spiciness which I enjoyed. Happy hour is Mon-​Fri from 4:30pm-7pm so that was a nice bonus.
We did come across some broken games, but the technician was quick to help and gave us a free game. Overall, this is a fun place to eat, drink and play!

Dave & Buster’s is a virtual playground for those of all ages, all though I think they want to cater to the adult crowd more than the kiddy crowd.
This spot is part restaurant /​sports bar and then part arcade. The restaurant’s walls (and parts of the ceiling) are covered with tvs that are tuned to any and every game on the docket. While we were there they were tuned to La Liga and English Premier League soccer and Major League Baseball. I bet football season is a trip.
The menu was decently thick with varying levels of entrees depending on what you want to spend. It was mostly Americanized comfort food with some Italian offerings sprinkled in. Not bad, but nothing to write home about and little pricier then maybe they should be. The main attraction were the different drink options for the adult customers. Big beers, slushies, craft cocktails and margaritas were all on the menu. All, but one of us had beers, but the one had a couple of margaritas. He said one was good, but sent another back to be remixed because it was too «syrup heavy.» Anyway, food for thought.
One decent criticism I have concerning the restaurant is how the tables are laid out… or maybe how they are not laid out. When we entered the host gentleman told us to sit anywhere, so we did. Then we found out that somebody was already sitting there, but they were down playing video games while their food was cooking. We moved to another table and ran into the same problem. After playing hopscotch for a bit we finally settled on a table that nobody had claimed. While we were waiting to order one of us went to the restroom, grabbed some paper towels and wrote, «TABLE TAKEN. WE’RE DRINKING AND PLAYING VIDEO GAMES. COME SAY HI IF YOU WANT, PLEASE PLEASE DON’T TAKE OUR TABLE,» which we left while our food was cooking. I think Dave & Busters should have some placards to mark whether or not the table was taken or have a host there to verify who is sitting where. Anyway…
Now, on to the games. I remember there being more «adult» options before, but times do change. By «adult,» I meant maybe some more realistic games such as Batman or Star Wars where you’re controlling the characters more or piloting the ships. There now seem to be a raging plethora of racing games, mixed in with some Aliens-​type shooting games and old favorites such as skee ball, etc… I kind of wish there might have been some old early 90s games such as X-​Men, The Simpsons or even Bad Dudes, but alas, only an old Ms. Pacman. We did have good time on those racing games racing for bragging rights, which we exerted on the ride home.
There looks to be an upstairs deck level, which I’m not sure what it contains other than maybe an upstairs bar, but it wasn’t open while we were there.
To close, Dave & Busters is packed full of fun, but please be aware, you’re going to pay for it. Literally and figuratively.

Probably the filthiest restaurant I’ve ever been to.
The floors haven’t been mopped all day, pieces of food everywhere, menus are sticky and fingerprinty, took 30 min to get a $ 10 watered down drink.
Not even going to stay for dinner. Gross.
