Been here 4x recently. Most recent we ordered the sliders, and for the price they were absolutely not worth $14. Maybe if they came with fries, but those are a $9 plate at best. We got the Brussel sprouts, and they were very tasty and a much bigger portion than I expected. Well worth it at $8. We also got the Crisps and Guac, there were 3 puffed wheat crisps, and about 1.5 cups of guacamole. We covered the crisps with a 1/2in of guac and still had a lot left over. Absolutely well worth the $6, I'm getting this again and put the guac on my burger and fries also!! My son got boneless wings/fries and they server said the portion was 8 wings. It was 15, some small but a proper portion for the $18. Overall it was a good meal, but the sliders fell short of their cost. Maybe if there were 4 and fries the price would have been proper. The server took 6 to 10 minutes for everything. I asked for mustard and she was no where to be seen. The server we had last time stopped ro say Hi, I asked if she had mustard as I'm waiting to eat. She grabbed a bottle in 30 seconds. Our server showed up with honey mustard and no cholula (they don't have that). I held the mustard bottle up and said another server got this. Even to get a water refill, she was gone 6+ minutes. I should have just gone to the bar and gotten it faster. It was not busy at all, early afternoon on a weekday. I'll definitely try to sit at a table with the previous server as she was right on everything we needed!! We played games and had to search for staff 3x for broke machines. The previous time, decent food, awesome server, and played games. The time prior, we just stopped in for games, a few times had to search all over for an employer. Even at the prize shop there was no one inside or at the desk. Found a waitress that said she doesn't do that. Obviously, but where can I find someone that does run the machines. 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ The time prior to that we had a group of about 20 people, I asked if we could have a table in 1 hour for 20 people, I was told yes, stop by 5 minutes prior. I check in, they seat us. As we waited for the other families to get there I asked for waters. She said this table was reserved for a group in 30 minutes, so we couldn't be served there. I said I'm sure I'm in the group of 20 for that table. She said nope, another staff member came over and placed reserved signs in front of a few parents. Then said we had 10 minutes to move on. I asked the gal that I talked to an hour prior and that seated us. She said the server has priority over her. I was like so you don't want to serve our group of 20. So we left and found a place that took awesome care of all of us, and great food there. That became our new monthly restaurant from now on for our 20 or so people. FYI at Chili's today my son get a 3 item platter, 2 sliders, 2 giant breaded cheese sticks, and these corn/sauce/chicken wedges things (delicious w/guac sauce) for $18... If we eat at D&Bs it will not be with 2 of the grumpy/slow servers.

This past weekend, I made my first visit to Dave and Buster's. Although I had heard of your restaurant and many of my friends have been there before, I was not too sure what to expect. I can truly say it was a fantastic experience and I will definitely be coming back. When I walked in I was immediately greeted with a smile by the hostess and was escorted to a table. We then ordered several different appetizers such as chicken tenders🍗, fries🍟, Pizza🍕. The waitress brought them out quickly and they all tasted hot and delicious. I then went to the crowded bar 🍸 and ordered a few drinks. Even though the bar was quite busy, the bartender moved along efficiently and did a great job handling the crowd. He was calm and friendly and the drinks he prepared were cold, smooth, and tasted great! We then moved over to the arcade 🎮🕹🎰games and I immediately felt my inner child come alive. Any game I could have possibly thought of was there. From racing 🚘games, to basketball🏀, And Shooting 🔫 all the games were truly a blast. And when I had a few questions, Richard C. The Amusement Manager, had all the answers and was quick to Help Me Out Very Helpful Just Good Vibes Very Handsome Big Guy. There was barely any wait at all to play the games which made things even better! I can honestly say the only bad part of my night was having to go home. It was an overall terrific night out. The service was outstanding. From the Hostess, to the Waitresses, to the Bartender,Game Techs/Manager and the games the service was outstanding. Thank you Dave&buster's And Thank You especially to Richard C. For making the experience even better 😃😃😃

You know you’re old when you order a “Lava Flow”…..LOL It’s been ages since my college days that I’ve been back to this place and I forgot how fun and lively it is! It was only 7pm on a Saturday and this place was packed with all ages. This review is only for the bar. Six of us found space at the bar overlooking several tv screens for various games showing. Five of us ordered an old fashion and I ordered a Lava flow. It’s what I remembered back in the early 2000s and loved this drink. It’s no longer on the menu but they can still make it. I totally aged myself when our bartender, Trevor replied “that drink is sooo old”. Turns out, he’s been here for 24 years! He totally knew what I was talking about. Surprisingly, someone at the other end of the bar ordered the same thing! Lava flow is so delicious. It’s creamy, rich, topped with whip cream. I believe it’s a blended mixture of strawberries, pina colada, bananas, rum and other stuff. We also got Jeloshots that are in syringes. Didn’t taste strong but I’m sure it’ll creep up on you. We asked Trevor to make us a holiday shot. He made oatmeal raisin with fireball, baileys, and butterscotch. Yummy! Had that cinnamon holiday festive taste and you could taste the raisin too! So creative! We didn’t order food. I used to like their quesadilla and salad. No longer see those items on the menu except for the nachos! Will have to come back soon to eat and play some games! It is a place that’s fun for all ages.

This place is good for a good time for young adults. If you don't mind "meh" level food and somewhat good prices, you'll have a good time. It should be known that the parking is kinda hard to get into the lot. Also, the place could use a spruce up! Some games were heavily used and needed a fix. The carpets could use a clean also. I'm sure that the carpets are hard to keep clean there because of the crowd. I think it's a fun location for young adults, but I'm a little older and it wasn't the best time for me. Would recommend going on a non-busy day if you'd want to go and you are over 30. I think Sunday's are less crowded and would offer a better experience. Nice staff that were friendly and took my order timely. Could use some better organization, but good times were there regardless. I do enjoy the games even though they weren’t in the best condition overall. Most worked and it seemed like you always win a prize ticket. I think after a few hours I had so many tickets I was able to trade them in for a nice prize, which was rewarding and fun to experience since it’s been so long since I was there!
