    Where to start. Service was slow, received drinks, ordered food, family decided to play games while waiting for food and table was cleared, had to find server to reorder drinks. When food arrived chicken tenders were very small and cold. Someone ordered queso fries, never received them, but I was charged for them. Food delivery folks tried to drop off appetizers 3 different times which were not ours. On gaming side, my grandkids went to cash in points, she picked up a prize labeled 1300 points, went to counter and was told it’s 1800 points. After showing staff, they didn’t care and said it’s 1800 points and pick something else. Overall a very expensive night for less than average food and fun for the kids.

    Food was ok. For the price. My daughter ordered a protein bowl that was to be steak, but it was chicken. There was another protein… some bug It’s an arcade.. I should not expect stellar. Lol

    Food had a lot to be desired, the truffle fries were great the entrées were just okay. If I ever come again it would just be for the arcade.

    Made reservations for 10 people for a small birthday gathering. Our waitress was horrible. After she took our order she never once came back to check for drink refills until our food was out. We ended up going to the bar to get more drinks. We sat right by the waitress station and would watch her just sit on her phone. Our food came out cold and the waitress came over to ask how it was or if we needed anything more. We had to walk up to the waitress station to get our check at the end. The whole dining experience was horrible and unacceptable for the amount of money we spent on dinner.

    Had a wonderful time. I was a little skeptical but the food was decent, service was excellent and games were so much fun. Went on Friday evening and was perfect night.

    This was our first time visiting. The food was fine as well as the service but while we were off playing games the server spilled ranch all over my daughters coat when they were delivering the food and didn't say anything We discovered it when we came back and had to ask for something to clean her coat off

    This was our first time here, and we will definitely be back. This was really a fun way yo spend the day with the family. Food and drinks were great (and they even had decent healthier choices), and the gaming area was a blast. The only downside was coming in the door. We had a reservation, but we still waited in line up front for 20 minutes. It seemed like they were having a hard time getting people seated or something. Other than that... great day!

    We were there to celebrate my sons birthday. First they told us that someone sat the table that was reserved for us even though we were early for our reservation, then we were waiting close to 5 minutes for our server, we went and played games while waiting for our food. Came back and food was there but no drinks…server never came to check on us or came with our drinks. I had to go find our server to finally get one, at this point the kids were already done eating and off playing. The amount of tokens it takes for each game is absurd and then to get Minimal tickets each for prizes that cost way more than they are worth…seems like a ripoff. Did the kids have fun-yes. But honestly I think it was a huge ripoff and the service was incredibly poor.

    Table for 10 was requested. We were put in a booth that would be good for 8. It very loud which I would expect but you could not even have a convo. Very expensive for what you got. Would not go back

    We had a reservation for 2 at 5:00. We showed up at about 4:55. We got a table in about 5 minutes. We sat at our table until 5:26. Several staff walked passed us but I think there was only one waitress that I saw working and there was easily 20+ tables. No one ever stopped to take our order so we left and ate at Portillos and then went to a locally owned arcade and had a great time for a lot less money than we would have spent here.

    Went for son’s 16th birthday with a large group of almost 20. They were very accommodating even with late guests arriving.

    3 twelve year olds wouldn't take more than one bite of their cheeseburgers. The buns were crumbling they were so dried out. The burgers were like rubber. These are over $8 a burger! The waitress was apologetic and said she'd take them off the bill, which was $147, but turns out she only removed 1. Just disgusting. Never again.

    Can't recall the waiters name. Was a rude piece of crap. Took an extremely long time to get served and did not come to ask if we needed refills on our drinks. The manager was fantastic with helping us correct stuff on our bills. Still somehow found it in my heart to give the guy a $4 tip although he didn't deserve $.04. afterwards went to front desk and the waiter came up to yell at me for not writing in a tip when I paid cash, since he was clueless because of his manager taking our payment instead of him. Honestly had there been no security he would have been in the hospital. Wish I could remember his name so no one else had to deal with him. He was an average height male, really skinny with brown hair. Even being short on help, this guy should be fired, definitely not fit for a customer service type position in being a waiter. 1st and probably last time I'll go to this location.

    I would not recommend Dave & Busters. The food was over priced and definitely not worth it. I know a lot of places are short staffed but our server was not good and didn’t care or acknowledge how slow she was (and honestly we went mid afternoon and there weren’t a lot of people there).
