    The food was not at all good. The menu looked amazing but nothing on the menu that looked amazing was available! Expensive and not worth it. The games were not good either. They would not play when activated and would charge you multiple times! Also the games would not give the tickets you won! Unfair and poor quality overall

    Our food took over an hour to come out. Our drinks took over 20mins to get to table. Our server was inattentive. Had to flag her down multiple times for refills or ask where our food was. A manager was informed and never came to the table to check on us. Overall one of the worst dining experiences. We were there to celebrate my sons graduation and it took away from that experience.

    I took my daughter and her friends to celebrate her 14th birthday. The process from reserving online, to arrival at D&B, to the food & service overall was excellent. I read a few bad reviews regarding customer service or poor food quality but that was not the case for us. Our reservation was at 4:30pm but we arrived early and had a few extra guests last minute. The front desk did not give me a hard time and were able to accommodate all 15 (original reservation was for 10). We were seated after 15 minutes upon arrival and our waiter Edwin was amazing. He was patient and took all orders efficiently with a smile. Food didn’t take long, was fresh with great portions and sooo goood! I gave everyone the option to order whatever they wanted so we had chicken strips, pizza, nachos, korean sticky ribs, sandwiches, wings,and burgers. Overall, it was the best experience for my daughter and her friends. We all had a great time. Thank you again Edwin for your awesome service. We will be back and hope we get you again. ☺️

    We had great service. I’m really glad I did it this way vs their bday package. The adult food and fries were wonderful. However the Mac n cheese was not the best thing to order. Kids did not eat it. I’d recommend ordering a diff kid item.

    It was my sons birthday. We made reservations and they told us we couldn’t be placed where they wanted to sit us because of balloons but then we saw a table in the same area, with balloons. So it was a bit confusing but it worked out.

    Completely mismanaged and understaffed for a Saturday at 6. Only 1 bar tender, machines down staff not knowledgeable of resetting or making repairs. Not great experience the facility layout is chaotic should’ve been more separation from dinning and games.

    The front desk where you talk to someone about your reservation seemed a little scrambled I made reservations days prior and we had to wait an additional 20 minutes before seating. Once we sat we were greeted by thee best server! She was over the top kind , friendly & patient. Her customer service was the absolute best! Overall my family and I had a great experience.

    Started the moment we walked in and the hostess walked right by the table already assigned to us as it was decorated with a very large bouquet of balloons for the birthday boy. We had a reservation so waters and balloons were on the table when we arrived however she sat us in a large booth next to five other larger parties. Oblivious to the name on reso, the balloons or anything else. Our server was completely overwhelmed, had zero help from management or other staff with much slower sections, was training a new hire and I’m sure every table had a complaint. Food was slow…if it was even entered at all. We went to the bar twice to get our own drinks as we had waited over 20 minutes for some eye contact. It was honestly a mess! Kids enjoyed the games and their burgers but I will never go back. Very disappointed. Enough so that I took the time to write this review.

    The food was lacking heat and flavor. Staff was all over the place since it was super busy which was understandable but it meant when we asked for something it missed or forgotten. Way overpriced for the quality of the food and drinks you get. Will definitely not be back to eat just to play.

    Made a reservation for 10 people for 5:00pm. We had to wait until 5:25pm to be seated. They gave us a table for 6 and another table for 4 which were separated by at least 3 feet. We were told we could not put the two tables together. Ridiculous. We asked for the manager, he finally give in to us and allowed us to move the tables together. It was so loud in the restaurant we could not talk to each other. They had the paper view Cage Fight on…Did I say loud!!! Tooooo Loud!! Half of our group received their meals in a time matter and the other half which were hamburgers arrived to our table approx. 45 mins later, barely warm. On the positive my grandkids enjoyed playing many of the games.

    First time going to any Dave and Busters. Staff was very friendly but appeared young and inexperienced. Few attempts to give my table someone else food order. Service was also slow. The food was okay. Not great, not terrible. Perhaps a little overpriced for what you get. The restaurant was clean and noise decent in the eating area. Good for young families. Not my scene as a more mature adult due to the video games and noise.

    Our family gathered to celebrate my daughters 21st BDay. It was a perfect spot for our family because my daughter (and some of the adults) could enjoy a drink (or two) while the kids had a blast with the games (adults enjoyed the games too) - great family night out!

    We had a reservation for 20 that was scheduled two weeks prior. They didn’t have the seats and we had to separate the entire party. Server didn’t bring waters when we asked multiple times and didn’t hear the order. The music and noise level is so high, you can’t talk to the person beside you. Will not be coming back

    I took my family and nieces for a fun night out and Dave and Busters did not disappoint!! There was a hiccup with our bill and the staff went out of their way to correct it! Beyond accommodating and friendly. Heidi, one of the bartenders, and Beto, the general manager, were exceptional with custom service skills. We will be back again most definitely

    Surprisingly great food and service. The games were new and the kids loved them. We went on Wednesday, so the games were half price. Great value. Cards were $3 each to activate, so you have to keep them. Noise level was off the chain. Way too loud for me. But the kids were OK with it

    It’s a new location that just opened up. When calling for inquiries about a big party they were not very helpful and could only direct you to open table for reservations. Party rooms were not available. We had to book 2 different reservations and asked our parties to be seated by one another. They had us seated kinda weird with 8 of us in a booth style and then the other 8 on a table that faced us like on a “t” shape. Luckily everyone who showed up was able to squeeze into the one table. Our server was fantastic and the food was actually good! Didn’t get a chance to play games as we had to head to our next venue of the night but I’ll be back for food and games next time!

    Service was extremely slow with our specific staff not knowing their own menu and didn’t know what simple cocktails were. Ordered and captain and coke and was brought a shot of rum with a coke on the side. It’s still fairly new so hopefully this aspect of service will get better with time. Food was good once it was brought to us, but was at least a 35 min turnaround from the time we ordered till it was brought to the table. Again understanding everything is still new and probably working out kinks, so we’ll try again at a later date. Games were good and enjoyed those.
