    Came to celebrate a birthday, Here's how it went: Waited 25 minutes for three beers. Finally got them after tracking down our waitress. Sure, let's assume they were busy (though the food area was basically empty). Then we put $100 on a game card only to find out there were a ridiculous amount of games that were under repair. Or didn't function and haven't yet been tagged as under repair. Now I'm stuck with 60 dollars of funny money on my D&B card and can't do anything with them. VERY UNLIKELY TO RECOMMEND. Was hoping for better.

    I realize it's Dave and Buster's so my expectations should be objective but I was really surprised at the lack of vegetarian options esp in the entrees. It's 2023 and almost everywhere has healthier options. The prices were high considering what we were getting.

    We waited for an hour to get our food, and when it finally came out, it was subpar. Go to D&B for the gaming only - forget eating there.

    Had horrible experience. Food did not come out together. Waited 20 minutes and told manager. Another 20 minutes to get good. Friends came to dine with us and got their food before us.

    Ordered a $15 Long Island iced tea , tasted like water. Not worth it at all. No lenience or better judgement on someone’s age to drink, my 38 yo fiancé forgot his id but had a picture on his phone, no exceptions and was not allowed to order a drink. Games are timed very short, a lot of them were out of order, No space to walk through game area not the the best place to take kids younger then 12-13. I would not recommend familys to go here for a good time, a waste of $250

    Having eaten at a few D&B's food quality is the same. Good. Service was good as well. Several games were out of order, had to go back 3 times to get service & support on them, so need to keep up with that. Beanbag game probably should be taken out, because it seems every location I go to that game causes problems as the bags never come back up the ramp.

    When my partner and I came in We waited until 30min almost to an hour. I’m going to be honest, their was a young lady that she was proudly white, she seen us sitting there for 30min plus she didn’t bring us water or asked us if we was ok, until a next waitress Came! Their was a white couple that came and she went right to them and asked them are you ok and more .. so I don’t know what more to say but I know things won’t change

    After we arrived for our reservation, and after waiting quite some time to even be acknowledged, they said they couldn’t accommodate us due to a school who had been there. The restaurant was empty, however and yet they still couldn’t seem to seat us. We had to go find somewhere lease to eat. Will not be going back there.
