Service is definitely lacking but I think they understaff them especially on busier nights like Friday and Saturday. We went on a Wednesday and it wasn’t that bad. Chicken tenders are mid, fries were good tho

We attended on Wednesday after 10pm.
Service was slow to order and for questions.
The cashier/server didn’t seem to know things and constantly asked the mgr or others.
My family spent over $250 on food and a 90-minute unlimited play card ($60 ea child x2).
It’s not worth it…it comes with a meal that is between $10-15 dollars, with a drink.
The card doesn’t allow the use of any specialized games that double the points.
This card only allows the user 1500 points per user. I don’t recommend this card.
The $120 spent plus tax didn’t live up to its use. Plus it’s 90 mins or 1500 points, whichever comes first.
The manager was helpful and checked on us many times throughout the night.
I love the new setup. Expansion of the table and party area. New games. My grandsons were happy .
Next time… tonight, they’ll be going a more economical route.
The salmon salad was delicious. I’m going just for the salad, tonight… half price Wednesdays.
They have funnel cake fries . A great portion size but tasted like old grease. It was past 11pm… we stayed until closing.

The food was ok. Nothing to write home about. Small portions, heavy pricetags, the table and menus were sticky. Our waitress was honestly the best part about this place. She was pretty attentive but, never smiled. The place was loud and it wasn’t even packed full. Personally, I wouldn’t eat here again just because of my concerns over cleanliness and the seemingly broken emotions of the staff.

Service was very bad, we waited almost two hours for our food to come. Food was a mess, it also came out cold. I will never come back here.

Our company event date was planned on very short notice. Allison in events was easy to work with and got our details dialed in quickly. On the day of the event, the manager, Linda, was quick to greet us and get our event going. She introduced us to our sever, Abby, who was a rockstar and made sure all was taken care of the group enjoyed the food and games. We would do that again!! Thanks D&B crew for making it special!

The food was mediocre at best. It has been a long time since I requested A1 Steak Sauce to cover up the taste of a sirloin steak. The sliders had a funk to them as well. The wings were “pastey” tasting. There must not be a lot of effort in the preparation. It would be best to grab a bite before enjoying the fun atmosphere at Dave and Busters. Other than the food our visit was fun.

Each time we end up at one of these places I question my sanity. Now let’s be honest I don’t know any kids that wouldn’t enjoy themselves. The place is good size with hundreds of games. We went right after they opened since we had stuff to do later in the day. The staff that we bought our cards from were very nice and helpful. The place was super clean and almost all the games were working properly. They have a huge dining area, but the kids didn’t want to eat there so we played for an hour and moved on.
I will say that either the games are to much per play or they should give you more credits for your money. I get it they need to make money, but it’s definitely on the high side especially for some of the games that are dated and last 2 seconds. We try and limit our visits here, but let’s be honest we’ll be back eventually.

The location is about half the size it use to be. I couldn’t get anyone at the bar to even look at me to take an order. No one working in the prize shop could tell us how to put money on the card. The UFC game, ax throwing game, Mario kart game, multiplayer Pac-Man game, fishing game for tickets, all took money and didn’t work. No one at this location cares enough to even hear that. So we left after an hour after mostly getting robbed but the place and ignored. I will not be back to this location. I don’t suggest you go to this location either until they feel of as they want to help the customers. We drove an hour to get here for a birthday dinner and wish I saved the money, and went somewhere else less frustrating. Good luck parking also. We had to park by AMC and walk in due to the lack of a parking lot. We interacted with 4 employees but everyone told us to go to the bar for assistance and no one would acknowledge our existence at the bar but they looked like they were enjoying there time chatting with the drink runners.

no one came up to us for 30 minutes. My friend was at the table while me and my other friends went to play games. We came back after 20-30 minutes and no one had asked my friend if we wanted a menu or if we were ready. Food good though

I held my son’s birthday party here. We did opt for the private room. That’s definitely the way to go for big parties. We had great service all around. The food came out on time and it was very good. Our waitress was awesome!! Definitely on point with everything we needed. We had a great experience all-round.
