Dave And Busters

Somebody turn down the volume! No need to pump up the jam here. Everything is magnified by 120 decibels. Other than that the food was well, food. I’m a little miffed that I was served tater tots with my entrée. Tater tots. Seriously. I paid 15.00 for a burger platter and my side was as if I was in 3^rd grade. The server was only just there. Not overly friendly… just there. Kind of like a robot. A bit more pricey than anticipated. I have had better food for less. Overall it’s like a grown up video arcade with alcoholics running around.

Had a blast! My wife and I had never been before. Food was great and the games were a blast.

WhAt a great way to relax and enjoy a meal and have fun too. Our first trip won’t be our last. Good food and good fun.

As I always say about these places, «it was the most expensive candy I ever bought.»
We spent a rainy afternoon/​evening at D&B to kill some time with the kids and get a bite. We thought they would enjoy some of the games. We sat ourselves at a table in the bar area and had a great waitress that had all sorts of good information. Her first big tip was the food & gaming combos. Buy an meal for $ 24.99 and get a $ 20 game card. Cool. We all had those meals. No, not cheap, but paying for food AND gaming was going to cost us a lot anyway. The second big tip was that the philly cheesesteak was great. Three of us got those, while the little guy got the chicken tenders meal. All of the food was very good. The cheesesteaks were excellent. The fries were decent. I upgraded to the seasoned tater tots, but they weren’t horribly seasoned, but still were okay. The chicken tenders were actual chicken (not processed garbage). And very tasty. So — the food was very good. Our waitress kept the glasses full and made sure everything was okay. I’d probably go 4-​stars on the dining experience alone.
The gaming was different. With blaring music and loud games, my poor wife had to take a «time out» and leave for a while as she was becoming overwhelmed. The games were fine and just what you would expect from this place. My issue with the games were the «credits» to «dollars» ratio. Quite the scam spending dollars (say, $ 20) to get «credits» (like, 110 or something). Then, the games very in credits, like 2.1 up to 10. Many were 6.8. Huh? I probably should have broken down how much the games ACTUALLY cost. Or, maybe not, as it wouldn’t have made me sick. None the less, we played our credits away and won some tickets. At the end, when MOST of our credits were used up (hard to use .7 credits anywhere — times four cards), we hit the «store». It’s the usual prize stuff you find at all of these places. The kids picked out $ 8 worth of candy and we left as fast as we could.
For what we spent there, I could have bought an X-​Box, some steaks and a bag of candy and did the whole thing at home. But, we got the big experience and the kids had fun.
BIG TIP — go on Wednesdays when the games are «half price». More gaming for your buck. We weren’t able to go on Wednesday, so we got slammed with «full price Thursday». Ah well — live and learn.

Very large place. Tons of cool games-​jaws, Mario kart, zombies etc. Sports bar & bollards. Very clean with the latest games. We had the nachos & they were huge!

Food was okay. Servers are nice and friendly but the service was slow. A kitchen mixup resulted in two in our party not getting their meal until the rest of the party was getting their checks.

There would be more stars, but this is my first time here and tonight the negatives outweigh the positives. The waitress checked to see if we needed drinks until our food came. Now that my spicy Thai dressing has made a refill very necessary, she’s nowhere to be found. The salad is AMAZING, but I can’t finish my meal. Also, the music in the dining room is still so loud you can’t have a conversation, so you may as well sit out in the general seating. The waitress is new and overwhelmed, and I fee bad for her. But it’s our first time here and she didn’t explain the power card system. At first it seemed overpriced, but the portions and quality make up for that. It’s not horrible, and I won’t say I’ll never be back. But it will be a while. Not the best first impression. Too bad.

This place doesn’t have as many games as other Dave and busters I’ve been to but still a fun time! Bar service was fast.

Well first off I haven’t been to Dave and Buster since I was a kid. The service as soon as I walk in was very helpful. The waiter for my table was on point. It’s a bit prices but worth it.
If your a gamer or just looking to try something different that I say go have fun.

Went in here just wanting to get a drink. Walked to the bar and sat at one of the high tables with tall chairs around the bar. There were menus on the tables and each unoccupied table looked clean. Then, everything just went downhill from there. Sat down and waited for a server. We waited and waited and waited. It had to have been about 15 – 20 minutes before we finally said forget it, we’ll just order at the bar. The whole time there were numerous servers and bussers walking and standing around. Some were working others were talking to each other. There were a couple of people who walked in and sat down after us that got helped. I know the servers noticed my group sitting there waiting because they would constantly walk by and look at us but not acknowledge with an «I’ll be right with you» or a «hello».
The bartender at the bar was nice and friendly. She seemed somewhat unaware of when happy hour was or what channels they get. Whatever not a big deal, she may have been new. Just a little funny that an employee doesn’t know when happy hour is. Especially if they’re working at the bar.
After getting our drink, it was a good 5 minutes before a server came up and said hello. She introduced herself and said to let her know if we need anything. Yea, we did. About a half hour too late. She could’ve received our business and made a decent tip but instead the tip went to the bartender.
The main reason for the two Stars is they weren’t even busy in the bar area.

This is the third and last time at the Pier Park Dave and Busters. All three times the food was horrible. The boneless wings on this visit were burned beyond recognition. Then rolled in a horrible sauce. The visit before the regular wings were barely cooked. Three strikes and they are out. !

The food isn’t all that great and the service wasn’t all that good. I got up and had to find a random server just finish our visit when it came to dinner. Once dinner was over and it came to the games that’s when the good fun begins. They have an awesome selection of games and the kids love it. My advice go to this place to watch sports and play games. I would have dinner at some other place.

Fun atmosphere but our food was terrible. I had to send it back twice because the chicken was still frozen inside, I wen with a dessert and that was really good. I definitely wouldn’t go out to dinner here but I would go for beers, fun and dessert

I usually don’t review chain restaurants/​businesses as they are (for the most part) the same and tend to be stereotyped, but I just had to give Dave & Busters in Panama City a review.
This place is just like every other Dave & Busters — loud, yet fun for the whole family.
While we waited for our food to come, my family watched sports games on the many TVs this place holds. I didn’t find football enjoying, however, so I asked the waitress if she could change the channel on one of the TVs. She kindly changed it to one of my favorite sports: volleyball.
My dinner of Cabo Chicken was delicious. It was served on a bed of spicy rice and contained a side of steamed broccoli. This meal was $ 16.99, but it came with a $ 10 game card that could be spent in the facility’s arcade. (making the meal a whopping $ 6.99!)
The arcade was very entertaining. My family spend about an hour playing the games, and we all ended up with nice prizes in exchange for the tickets we earned. I got an official Dave & Buster’s soccer ball that, when used on the beach the next day, proved to be good quality.
The only reason this place gets FOUR stars from me (rather than five) is because, like mentioned above, it was extremely loud. If they could separate the dining area from the arcade with some walls or something, this Dave & Busters would be even better.

Sunday football is awesome! All the servers were spot on, happy and made the experience fun! We were given a Season Pass coupon book that will ensure our return on many Sunday’s!
Thanks D&B!

Enjoyed the food and fun atmosphere! Felt like a kid again! My husband and I spent 3.5 hours here between eating and gaming and it was fantastic! Friendly staff as well!

We have been twice now and really enjoyed the visit both times. Food was good, TVs in bar are great and kids are easily entertained. I am a fan and happy we have this new restaurant in Pier Park.

Service was fast and the food was pretty good.

The best place in PCB
Friendly staff and Management
Best live music on the patio the food is much better than we thought. I am so glad we have this in PCB. We have been several times and love it. I see some bad reviews on here and most of them are from opening week. Everyone is rough that week. We went that week too, wasnt great but not bad. Now, its great!

Soo Eager for the Grand Opening, finally on May 27^th 2014, this Dave & Buster’s doors opened. Throughout the interior of the establishment, it was nice and big… facility and games all new. The exceeding number of guests (patrons) was over-​whelming for the hired staff to handle well and in a timely manner. Food and drinks are very pricey, and are not publish on the To-​Go Menu, or the Internet PDF. In order to Eat, Drink, and Play as they advertise… Be ready and willing to Pay the Price. My experience would have been soo much better, if financially, I wasn’t drained from the price.
