Being retired restaurant people ourselves, with one still bartending at a good place, we were very happy with the service. Management was very nice and the waiter was very attentive. We were told if we brought a whipped cream birthday cake, they could put it in the walk in until it was time to serve. I was a little surprised at the good attitudes of the staff. I figured they had been around for so long they’d probably be a bit apathetic, but nothing could be further from the truth. The super bowl was just a few days away, and they looked totally ready. The place is very clean, by the way.

We went in the afternoon to show my 93 yr old mom an arcade for the first time. She was dazzled by all of these bells and whistles and lights. LOVED the huge TV screens for sports. It looks like it would have been a fun place to watch the Super Bowl but I have an aversion to wearing pants when watching sports.

Great experience here at Dave and Busters. Its literally been years since we can where and alot has changed. When we arrived we were greeted by the manager and explained how all the food, cards, and points worked. We got the burgers and fries with Buffalo wings. Excellent food. We got 3 cards, one with unlimited 90 minutes of play, and 2 others with a lower amount of points. The waitress was nice enough to comp us to free game cards and all we have to pay for was the unlimited one. Excellent service, Excellent food, and we had fun for 2 hours playing games. We will definitely be coming back.

Can’t say about food but arcade experience was genuinely disappointing.
There was hardly any game that doesn’t have something broken about them.
The non functional ones at least you can tell before you pay, but theres also the broken sensor, broken controller, out of focus projector which completely ruins the game, down the clown with 1 balls lol…and you only find out after paying.

This was my son‘s first visit to Dave & Buster’s. My husband was in Santa Clara on business and my son was quite excited for this first experience. This location is very well kept, and when we walked in, we were greeted by Crystal. She was very kind extremely informative and helped me decide what would keep a 10-year-old busy for a couple hours. We had a good time and I’m sure my son will be talking about it for years to come.

Unfortunately, the slot machine, my son had won The lever was no longer functioning and spinning the numbers and he only got about five minutes of use out of it. We flew back home and the disappointment on his face was something that bothered me.. I called Dave & Buster’s to see if there was any resolution and Angel went above and beyond. He made an exception and was willing to send out a replacement, which was something I was so very grateful for. The passion that he has for the company and his ability to define customer service in his actions was very impressive. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dave & Buster’s. I hope they know what a valuable staff they have.

Loved my first experience at dave and busters! Some of the games were faulty.. but it was mostly fun! What stood out on my first visit was the music! It was soo zillennial coded; hits from the 2000s/2010s! It made me wanna start dancing :))

My second time though, the car games had really loose steering wheels, some games were not working.

Games = the bike racing, godzilla, speed of light, the 4x shooting battle game is fun (but its never free), basketball (connect 4) are fun games!

The dance off here was a first that i tried and enjoyed on a beginner level – but it really needs more song/dance options.

I purchased the Unlimited Play card last Friday, looking forward to bringing my 6 year old back to enjoy the arcade games, something we were both genuinely excited about. Today, we returned before watching Gabby’s Dollhouse, a special outing I had promised her all week.

To our surprise, we were told we’d need to pay an additional $10 per person due to a UFC fight being shown at the venue. We had absolutely no intention of watching the fight we were just there for the arcade and food. It’s incredibly frustrating to be charged for something completely unrelated to our visit, especially after already buying a premium play card.

There was no clear communication about this extra fee at the time of purchase. When I raised this concern, the manager, Steven Nguyen, claimed a poster had been up since last Friday. Honestly, even if I had seen it, I wouldn’t have thought it applied to us since we weren’t there for the fight. This policy feels unfair and poorly implemented.

If you’re going to host special events, it would make far more sense to separate them from the general experience for example, show the fight in a dedicated area and only charge those who are there for it. Families coming in for arcade games and food shouldn’t be penalized.
This experience has left me seriously reconsidering whether I’ll return or recommend this place to others. A little more transparency and thoughtfulness would go a long way.

After reading past reviews, it’s clear we’re not the first to encounter this issue. There was a similar complaint three months ago. Steven, as the manager, if multiple customers are voicing the same concern, it’s time to speak up. Telling me “this is business” isn’t a solution. If anything, this policy is likely losing you business especially from families who would spend far more on food, drinks, and games than the $10 entrance fee you’re charging just to get in.

I truly hope management reconsiders this approach. A more customer focused policy would make for a better experience and a stronger longterm business

Note: The poster the manager, Steve Nguyen repeatedly pointed to does not clearly indicate that all guests would be required to pay an entry fee. It simply says “$10 Watch Like a Champ,” which implies an optional fee for those watching the fight not a blanket cover charge for everyone walking in the door.

Our server was Mildred and her staff for our son’s birthday celebration. They were so attentive and nice. Always checking in on us to make sure we were all ok and well served. It was a busy night with football game playing on the screens, but we never had to wait long for food or drinks. We all are very appreciative for such good service here. Thank you

An arcade of enormous fun. I came with two friends, and we had quite a blast there playing a great selection of arcade games. They have traditional ones, new ones, and modern renditions of old video games such as Pong and Space Invaders. Game chip prices were pretty affordable. You can spend around 20-30 dollars for 3 people to play 5 or 6 games together. The selection of gifts you can purchase after enjoying games has interesting, funny stuff, too. Highly recommend this place for game lovers, kids, and anyone craving big fun.

You can Eat, Drink and Play at Dave and Busters. We went to play arcade games and the interactive multi player video games and it was a lot of fun!
The atmosphere is electrifying comparable to one in a Vegas casino floor. Difference being this is kid friendly and you win tickets not money 🙂
Coincidentally it was a Wednesday night where you get 50% off on all game price, so it felt so much more worth it!!
Service wise there weren’t many attendants to answer queries. We approached couple of people to check if the balance credits on our card are valid for some other day but they seem to be pretending to not understand English. The lady at the customer care lounge was nice though but we had to walk a bit to get to them.
Haven’t tasted the food yet so no comments, may be next time. They host karaoke nights on Thursdays and it’s free post 8. Could be a fun evening. Stay tuned for an update 🙂
