    The waitress was Absolutely amazing so sweet professional and fast! My kids and I really loved her! A family of 8 and she kept bring refills before we even realized we needed them just so amazing and the food was amazing! Definitely was a 5star dinner last night for my son and my birthday 💖

    This place has the absolute worst food and service for a restaurant with about 7 tables seated. It’s was my sons bday or lack there off. The food was absolutely horrible. We also told someone it was a bday for a 8 year old and that ended in nothing (also marked in open table). I want my receipt refunded. Gaming is ok there! Spent 100 on game tokens prob used maybe 80-100 tokens out of the 776 or whatever it is then came the food. I still feel sick from yesterday, can taste the food grease in my mouth and I tend to eat healthy. I should have left when the rest of the table wanted to walk away. From food to service. This was my second time there and the first time wasn’t the best but the second time took the cake! There are other places to go with kids that are just as fun or more and not as unorganized as Dave and Busters. I regret walking in this place yesterday! It says on OT I celebrated a Birthday, I celebrated nothing but leaving. I wish I could take all that time back. SMH…

    several of the machines were broken but not out of service, robbing you of your credits and it was very challenging to watch your kids and also try to get refunds. Time to invest in some repairs!

    We enjoyed the ambiance. There were a few mistakes with our food order but nothing we could not overlook. Although our waitress was good, she was a little overzealous. Checking on us literally every few minutes. We kept getting interrupted from our conversations. The kids enjoyed their game play and we would be up for coming back.

    We had a reservation for 3:30. It was not busy. At 4:25 the waitress sent a manager over as we still had not received our food. The manager had no idea what was going on, so we explained that we still had not received our food. He offered to have them start it now. Why has it not been started yet? Needless to say, we asked to have our cpl drinks compted and left.

    I think there was only 1 waitress and she did the best she could! She was very friendly and kind. The food was disgusting. Will never eat there again. (Fish & chips, chicken sandwich, kids pizzas) Next time just playing games with the kids. The coins it cost to play a game is super weird “7.9, 9.9” etc. it is what it is though. A game did eat my sons remaining 5.9 when it cost 7.9 and he didn’t realize and it didn’t allow him to play either. Overall eh

    Biggest problem with this restaurant is the total “disconnect” from what Open Table allowed us to book and what the location was able to accommodate. Please do not accept an online reservation for a large group of 20 if you have neither the space nor staffing to service that request. Had to wait for someone to finally figure out how to seat us, then had on server for over 35 people total in 2 tables/reservations. I knew there may be a problem but had someone in our group speak directly to staff in restaurant 3bdays prior who indicated none of this would be a problem. So wrong! Orders went infilled, others dropped at the table with no one to give them to. Over charged for food not received. Do not book large groups!

    Extremely disappointed with our dinner here. We had 5 people served their food within 5 minutes of ordering and the other 6 people waited another 20 minutes for their food to come out. The first served were done with their meals by the time we got ours. Completely ridiculous. The food was luke warm and and not at all good. Wouldn’t eat here ever again

    Food wasn’t too bad. But our server never came over to our table. After 20 minutes of waiting we finally ordered on the app. Took an hour to get our food. Not the worst experience, but not great either. The staff was otherwise friendly.

    We went for dinner and to play some games. Enjoyed our drinks and apps, but our entrees were disappointing. Getting tokens is on the expensive side, but we had a blast. There is a large variety of games with something for everyone. Liked the games that can be played with an opponent. Lots of options in the redemption center. I think next time, we will skip dinner and play for dessert. (1200 tickets!)

    I took my daughter here for her 19th bday. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and reasonably priced. The food came quickly. Our waitress Ladyani was pleasant, informative, bubbly, patient and fun. We spent 5 hours eating, playing games and singing happy bday. This is a night my daughter will never forget!

    The food was not very good. We had to wait forever to get our order. And when the bus boy Brad our drinks at first he could not keep the drinks level on his cocktail tray and dumped my drink all over the table , on me and my two guests. Bad experience all around.. I will never eat there again.

    Worst experience ever! Took family of 7 for a special occasion. Totally ruined our whole day. Drinks tasted like the machine wasn’t working properly. Food was either either totally uncooked meat or burnt. Fish and chips were all batter and no fish. The absolute worst was that food was served with fruit flys/pantry moths crawling on it or swarming in the air around our table, which was coming from our plates. I paid a $400 bill to waitress as she was so apologetic and sincere that I felt so bad for her. She said manager would be over asap to discuss and HE/SHE never showed after waiting a additional 20 minutes for them. I will be contacting the GM/corporate office/ health dept as this was beyond comprehension. I do not expect a reply from GM/corporate , as they have got to be aware of how this restaurant is run, I believe that they simply must not care about customers. Do yourself a favor a go somewhere else.
