Went for the arcade. Like most D&Bs, was very loud and chaotic, but that's gonna be a given for any arcade like this. The arcade section was much smaller than I thought it would be, the building has several different areas. It had enough games to be fine, not amazing. The prize store was way too crowded and the candy should definitely be priced lower. I got a drink from the bar and bartenders were super great. No place to sit down though without ordering food, not even benches. So out of luck if you need a couple minutes to sit and eat a granola bar.
Pretty average time. Not great, not bad

Edit to say that I forgot there was this VR headset game that was absolutely AMAZING. Probably the most fun arcade game I've ever played by a mile. So if you go you need to find that one and try it out.

Came here back in April for my daughter's birthday and it was flawless! Wonderful, attentive waitress, excellent food, wide variety of games...this time...food was greasy and waitress was almost nowhere to be found...if anything, the few times she did come over seemed like a bother...we rented the dart area for a couple of hours which was amazing and fun! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it! They have a couple of flat screens in each area as well...totally worth it! They also have shuffleboard areas for rent as well. Everyone in our party had the same complaint though...overly greasy food and inattentive waitress...

We love the lively atmosphere at Dave & Buster’s, and the Eat & Play Combo offers a good (if pricey) deal. Our server, Eric, was courteous and thoughtful, making sure we were taken care of even when his shift ended.
One issue: the suggested tip was calculated on our total bill, including game cards, which made it feel too high. Since servers don’t handle the arcade service, it makes more sense to tip based on food and drinks. We appreciated the great service, but a clearer tipping policy for combo packages would help. Overall, a fun visit with friendly staff.

As always 15% off military discount that’s really good!

Horrible experience.

Half of the items in the menu that they brought me, were “unavailable”. The food that they did that “American Smash Burger” was very mediocre. The “Unlimited” play time is not truly unlimited, as your relegated to certain games.

Do not recommend, $225 that would have been better spent elsewhere.

Drinks were good, a bit water down during happy hour can't blame them. Food was great. Dave and busters is a great place to spend time with family and at the same time enjoying your self to a verity of arcade games to win prices. So this is why I'm giving it a three star to D&Bthey don't sing happy birthday to the birthday boy or girl and to top it off they don't even bring the cake out to u to surprise the birthday guest which to me is something every restaurant should have.Fix it!

We were there to watch the UFC fights. Perfect table in the dining room facing the big screens! I  made a reservation and the hostess was able to include everything I asked for. Great job!

We had a fun time, service good a little busy and food took a little longer but that's expected. I forgot to use my Ap to earn points

The food is terrible. Ordered a burger tonight and it was too greasy. Clearly they did not bother cooking it from a greasy pan with used oil already. The side of my burger was burnt and now I'm here at home with stomach burning from that food.

We had a fun night celebrating a 7-yr-old's birthday. Played lots of games, kids were thrilled! We sat in the midway dining section where “all the action is” so we expected it to be LOUD: TVs, games, lots of families. We liked the value of unlimited games for 90 minutes (one power card per child, including their meal) and the adults mostly ordered a few meals and appetizers from the regular menu. I'd say B+ on the food, better than expected. Dave & Buster's was a good choice :)

Delicious food with a large menu. Excellent server. Only downside is how difficult is is to talk with a speaker right above our table. Too bad a quieter room is not offered.
