    Our waiter was wonderful and very patient!! We had a party of 16 and she made sure everyone order was correct & she kept coming with refills. She answered all of our questions regarding the menu and she was very knowledgeable.

    I am usually pretty pleased when I visit Dave and Busters so this experience does not greatly impact my overall opinion of D&B, HOWEVER, the service on this day was TERRIBLE. My family and I were celebrating my son's birthday with a couple of his buddies. We booked our table reservation for 10 in advance. When we arrived, we notified the host that we didn't think all of our party would show up so she could seat us at a 6-top. We were seated and a server came over and brought us water. They were not that busy at this time because it was an 11:15 reservation. Our entire party did end up showing up so we asked the host if we could move to a larger table. We were allowed to move, however, no server was ever assigned to our new table. We waited almost 20 minutes before I had to go and look for a manager to see when we would get a server so we could order drinks and food. Another 15 minutes goes by and we finally get a server. Food and beverage order is placed. It takes a while for the food to come out and it was not all correct. The kids still had a great time playing and the food was decent. The service, however, ruined the experience for the adults. I'm not sure if I would host another birthday party here.

    I was not impressed by the appetizer I'm specifically referring to the Nachos selection I had, it was cold with chicken. Now, I've never had Nachos cold and the cheese was sparse and not tasty at all, but overall. I loved the place and all its ambiance I plan on going back after all, It was a nice place to visit.

    Service was slow especially for bar drinks. Food was delicious. We had a large group so some of us sat at the table while others played games. We had a good time overall.

    Fun place for kids young and old. We made a reservation 2 days prior for 3:30 on a Friday. This was a celebration with a group of 5. When we arrived, there was no hostess to seat us, and once seated it took 20 min to talk to a server. The server was standoff-ish. Found out later she was also the bartender. There was only 5-6 other tables being used so it seemed slow for business but still took us over an hour to get food, never asked for refills. After paying over 400 here for the food and game cards for my group I am left disappointed. The games were fun, but the ticket to prize exchange rate is also disappointing.

    Unfortunately we did not have a good experience. They were short staffed and even though they took our reservation for 6, there was an issue with a missing server. They were so vocal about it that it felt inappropriate to hear while we are there to eat. The food came out at a reasonable time (after the long wait to order and issue with who was going to serve us) but for the prices the drinks and food were okay. I would return with the kids for the arcade (maybe) but I’ll hard pass on the food and drinks.

    I arrived on a calm Tuesday afternoon for my reservation of 12, the table wasn’t ready and they gave us the incorrect amount of seats. Food was good but the fries were cold. Our waitress was nice and the games were fun! Lastly, they threw our cake away… so overall 2 stars.

    This was a celebration dinner for our 23yo Twin boys. They brought friends and it was an absolute Blast. A lot of youngins early in the night, which we dont mind, but more adults later in the evening. It was a lot of fun and a great value!

    We had a long time wait for the food. First there was wait time for server to come to our table, then wait for drinks almost 45 mins and then wait for food, more than 1 hour. We ordered basic things like blueberry lemonade for kids, craft beer, cheese pizza for kids, wings and nachos, all of these were served at out table after 1.5 hours… but this was not the situation for the table either side of us… next time we go to Dave n Busters, will probably eat somewhere else and go for just games!!!!

    Our server was terrible. She never smiled and acted as if she was being inconvenienced to wait on us. We saw her only once after she brought our food. We never were offered refills or asked if we needed more until all our food was either eaten or too cold to care. Not until it was time to pay did she act nice or smile while she stood and waited for my husband to pay and leave a tip.

    We made a reservation for 6 a week in advance. The host was unentheusiastic almost robotic greeting us. The restaurant was nearly empty on a Thursday evening. The host seemed confused about where to sit 6 people in a nearly empty establishment. We were sat at a 4 top combined with a 6 top near the games, then were later asked to move closer to the kitchen, next to the only other patrons in that area so the server didn't have to walk as far. The server took a while to take drink orders, stood at one end of the table, making guests at the far end shout their drink orders. Drinks had very little ice. Server took food orders, again not moving around the table and making guests shout their orders over the music. The food, especially the nachos, was very dry and bland. We requested sour cream and hot sauce for the nachos but were told that they don't have any of either. The server walked by several times without checking anything or offering drink refills. We had to go find the server to get drink refills. Most staff appeared in a strange, almost zombie like state. One appeared to be in spandex gym clothes and another appeared to be babysitting a child. In spite of an overall disappointing experience, we still left a $19 tip. Times are tough, but It is unlikely that we will return for another family night or to try to accumulate more tickets for a decent prize. Nobody there really seemed to care. We made the best of it, but we were let down big time. The service industry seems to be suffering from a clear lack of passion and customer service training. The manager was a ghost. You can clearly tell which establishments care and which do not. The ones that care, aren't empty and people come back. We will very likely not go back to Dave and Busters in Cary, NC.

    The food was not good at all the Voodoo pasta was dry and tasteless. For the prices you pay it was not worth it. Then we had to leave early because they had a water leak we spent 400 dollars and couldn't even enjoy the games. We got nothing but a 25 dollar off coupon.

    We had reservations because our son wanted to go there for his 13th birthday and when we arrived we were seated immediately. After being seated we had a long wait before our server ever came to take our drink orders, and the service just went down from there. Took forever for our server to come back to our table between trying to order our drinks, to appetizers, to ordering our main course. Our server was quick to bring us out check but then took forever to come back so we could cash out ( during which time we asked for boxes for our leftovers which we had to remind her of when she brought our change . Our server seems appalled and gave me a dirty look when I asked for small bills back from my change so I could leave the tip my wife and I felt she deserved according to our level of service. The first game I played which was a claw machine my prize never dropped out of the claw into the receiving area. Otherwise the games were fun and our kids had a great time playing the games.

    Waited 10 minutes to get seated because sign said wait here to be seated. The waitress came over and said sit anywhere after we had been standing there. It was another 10 minutes or so to get our drinks. The nachos were ok but my husbands wings were not good. They were mushy and his fries were cold. Our waitress did not seem happy very annoyed attitude. The games were good though had a lot of fun on that side but would not recommend or eat here again.

    My waiter was horrible. Her volume under a mask in a loud environment was low. We constantly had to repeat ourselves 👎🏽. She left off 2 items we had to clarify for her then sat for an hour. Finally got our food & bill 🤑 then had the audacity to ask if we wanted our change. The young lady at the winning station was moving too slow for the job or didn’t know how to ask for help 🤷🏾‍♀️, line backed up into the dining area 🥱…my boys none the less had a BLAST playing games & a clear understanding of BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE

    Our order was wrong and my toddlers food was too fried by that time we would have waited for food to be redone and with our 45 mins commute, it would have put us way past nap time so we just left and didn’t even get to play any games as we had planned to do after our meal.
