Reviews
First, the food. I’ll admit, I went in with “arcade food expectations” and left genuinely impressed. Everything looked exactly like the pictures (a rare thing), and it tasted great. Delicious, well-presented, and way above what I expected.
The games were another win. There was a huge variety, from cool augmented reality video games to classic county-fair-style favorites like Skee-Ball, plus tons of other games that kept both kids and adults happily occupied. No one was bored, no one wanted to leave early, and that alone deserves applause.
As for prices, they felt fair, maybe a tiny bit high considering the local economy. Good service was very very slow, but polite.
Overall, this was a fun, energetic, and surprisingly tasty outing. If you’re looking for a place where kids can be kids, adults can have fun too, and everyone leaves smiling (and possibly overly competitive), Dave & Buster’s in Huntington absolutely delivers. Would 100% go again – stretchy pants and layers for physical activity recommended.
Reservations(had to make 2 to accommodate 13 people)were made for a Saturday birthday celebration, over a week in advance.
Upon arrival, we are informed they DO NOT accept reservations on the weekend. So we go ahead and get “cards” so we can play games(they took our name then to be seated) again for 13 people. This was at 7pm. By 9pm, we still were never seated. A grandfather had sat down, was watching jackets, purses, etc. He wanted to order food and a coke, and was told since the hostess had not seated him, he could not order anything. (At 8pm, they brought him a beverage, no food)
At one point, the newly minted GM said they INDEED DO take reservations on the weekends, that the “hostess” had given us incorrect information, but she was actually a server that had to fill in because they were shorthanded. Still did nothing to seat us, no apology for the misinformation, nada.
Needless to say, we went to Chili’s(also at this mall), were seated in just a few minutes, and all told, spent well over $350. I would not recommend this establishment.
My husband and I came to Dave & Buster’s in Barboursville craving some good, crappy, cafeteria-style pizza and video games—this place delivered!
We were seated immediately, and our server was incredibly sweet. Our food came out fast, and everything hit the spot. My husband is a fried pickle purist, and he loved their fried pickles (chips, not spears—an important distinction to him, lol). The pretzel dogs were tasty, and the pizza absolutely satisfied our craving. For two sodas and three entrées, our total was around $45 before tip, which felt reasonable. Portions were just right.
Then, we grabbed a $20 game card—only to realize it was half-off game night! We played everything we wanted (including some surprises) and still had 15 tokens left over. The game selection was fantastic—having both The Walking Dead and Halo shooters was impressive, plus Mario Kart and Minecraft! We got way more into Minecraft than we expected.
As a HUGE DDR fan, I was thrilled to see they had Pump It Up! I’ll admit I prefer DDR (better song selection, in my opinion), but it was great to play a dance game with zero wait time. Given how rare DDR machines are these days, I’ll take what I can get!
The staff mentioned weekends get crazy busy, so if you’re a young couple looking for a fun, relaxed night out, I highly recommend going on a Tuesday or Wednesday night like we did. The tristate area needed more solid entertainment, and I’m so glad we have this spot. We’ll definitely be back!
