We had a good time here! The food was good and the service was great! 99%of the games worked. Parking was good. Better make sure your wallet is fat when you go, it's kinda pricey.
On my visit I ordered the pepperoni pizza. It was okay, a good bar food. Nothing to rave about. It was something to eat and to go along with a cold beer.
This was our first time to Dave & Buster's. It was a new place and Valentine's Day I think we should of went somewhere else. The appetizer was weird hot cheese with cold toppings. My husband ordered a Burger I had a steak which was ok it had alot of Fat on it though and the sides were Cold it was crazy. It's like the Meat was the only thing they cared about that was up to temp SMH.
The atmosphere is welcoming and reasonably open to families. Wait times were okay from seating to getting our food served. Prices were decent for food but seemed a bit steep when it came to the gaming. Overall, my visit was pretty decent. Service on the food end was okay, but a particular server seemed to hover about our table, giving us an uneasy feeling. He also hovered over us, making sure to watch the tablet when paying, to ensure he got a tip. Service on the game side was excellent. A few issues occu
Came to eat and celebrate my son's birthday. Had an amazing time playing games. Food was pretty good. It did take a while to come out and it wasn't super busy, but other than that, great time and lots of fun
Dave & Busters has definitely stepped up their food game. We went on a Wednesday night and everything was perfect! We ordered chicken bacon avocado club, Parmesan chicken with fries, kids cheese burger and boneless wings with truffle fries ?????? Everything was so good. We hadn't been in a few years but I definitely do not remember the food being this amazing. Service was excellent, our waitress was very attentive and our drinks never got below the half way mark before she asked if we needed refills. My kid
Food was mediocre, nothing special. The kids meal does not come with a drink or side, yet the server asks the kid if they want fries for a side (not mentioning the additional charge). The coleslaw was cabbage with honey mustard drizzled on top, not very good. The mixed drink is small for the price they charge. Overall the food and drinks are way overpriced. Not a big selections of games and prizes are junk. You're better off eating somewhere else and going to play games at round1. Definitely would not reco
Staff is friendly environment was nice and the food was great ?? this is my new to go place with my son he has had so much fun in this place he has autism and that's fine in there never overwhelmed ???? he calls it Dave's on his talk tablet
I took my family at this place. This is the second time that they messed up everything the food was completely wrong. I asked for my buster bacon burger to be well done and for there not to be any pickles or onion the opposite the first round second round, they bring something With blue cheese we do not eat that And it is completely raw 3 times it happened Waiters and waitresses they are super rude unprofessional as well as the manager awful place. Please do not come here. I would give this place a negative
We live 3 hours away and my husband is in a wheelchair. It is hard to find things he can do with us. We stopped here to eat and we found it a place he can play games with our son. We had the time if our lives. Employees were fabulous ??
Great location. Food was ok. Nothing special. Was here w our dance team. They definitely enjoyed it and had fun. Just happened to be there on a UFC fight night. That was cool.
The best part of our visit to Dave and Buster's was the arcade room. Service and food were horrible. The food came out at different times, and I had to keep asking for the same items over and over. Waitress came to check on us once the whole visit. Had to keep calling her attention. The food was horrible! I ordered a Philly cheese steak and the meat was salty and dry. The cheese came in a small container that was melted. When I tried to add the cheese to the sub, it wouldn't pour out bc it was cold. W
Games where good Food was good But felt like our server wanted nothing to do with us we were a large party of 12 If he didn't want to take our party maybe he shouldn't have Every time we asked for a drink or a side of ranch he sighed god forbid he actually had to serve us. We still tipped 10% on a bill of over 300 dollars I would have tipped nothing but the other people in my party where a lot nicer than me.
I liked it. The food was good, and the drink specials were awesome. Luckily, we came during the week and it wasn't crowded. We could enjoy ourselves and try games without a wait. Every single employee was pleasant except our waiter Josh: he was exceptional!
Went on Wednesday and Thursday night. Wednesday night had the best bartender, Ms. Chamika. Thursday night, only one bartender and it took forever to get drinks. Games were fun as always. Some games were broken. Don't forget, the duck game is a winner every time, so don't leave if you miss in the first chance.
I am from out of town and was visiting on the 3rd of April with my daughters choirs class. She needed the restroom and I went w her because it was far from where we were sitting. While in the restroom waiting, for a man walked in and i said "this is the ladies restroom" he walked by me and I repeated myself and still proceed to use the restroom in a stall and didn't close the door when he was done I told him again he's in the wrong restroom. He ignored me and was gonna wash his hand, at this point I was l
I was last here the night of 1/18/25 for UFC 311. At the door, the host was very accommodating. The appetizer and service was excellent. Games are always awesome! Great variety and they are rarely broken or out of service. Later in the evening, I overheard the manager on duty in the restaurant/bar handle a situation very professionally. There was a group of people who had a very strong smoke smell that overwhelmed the entire dining area. They politely asked the group to air out before rejoining the rest of
Was our lil ones first time coming here. And she absolutely loved it. My burger was top notch. And the fries were utterly amazing. My drink was so good. Had watermelon cubes in it even. And I usually dislike watermelon, not this time. No way this drink is killer. My partner had the Rose and philly french dip. She was in love with it out the gate. Thank you guys for such a great time. As well as finding our bugs missing toy...
Our waiter was super friendly and kind. The restaurant was very busy because of the New Mexico Bowl game so the food took a little longer than usual, but the games were a perfect distraction for my 3 teenage kids. I ordered the Fire Grilled Atlantic Salmon and it was deliciously flavorful. The onions were caramelized, the green beans were al dente and had a nice bite, and the buttery seasoning for the salmon was the perfect combination of flavors.
This is definitely a pretty awesome fun center that is full of arcade games, food and a bar. My only complaints is that alcoholic drinks that were empty were left around the places and could have put minors that are without supervision at risk. Maybe hiring someone that exclusively takes cares of collecting empty drinks. We found some also in the bathrooms and family restrooms. If not have waivers for parents to be responsible for keeping an eye on their kids to prevent them from drinking from alcoholic lef
Games are aging pretty fast. It was not terrible but for the price you pay to play the games I would expect better experience. Some where broken or had enough wear and tear so they didn't function right..
Loved our time at Dave & Buster's today Food is D-lish! Great place to eat, play, have fun and enjoy"together" time. My daughter felt like a Queen when they announced her birthday. I highly recommend coming here for a birthday celebration. Easy Order: Use your camera phone to scan the QR code on the table and order/pay straight from your phone!
Good prices on Wednesdays since it's half priced but anytime we go in we have to chase down staff members for the winners circle or getting a game fixed, it seems like there's only one or two people working that area. Sadly the food is not that great, the only good thing is fries. The strawberry shortcake was awful and the strawberries are somehow purple. The churros are mediocre. Overall, if you're going to play games or go to the bar its pretty good. The bar staff is super nice but if there is someone wo
We were staying the night in Albuquerque passing through on Christmas Day and needed somewhere to eat dinner. Dave & Busters was the only place we could find that was open. We sat in the bar area and our Zack waited on us. He was so positive and upbeat. I certainly appreciated his great attitude seeing as he was working on Christmas. All in all we had a great experience on Christmas Day and are grateful to everyone who worked that evening to make it possible for us to have dinner. We had a great time. Thank
Waited half an hour for our food and was served this. The burger literally tasted of charcoals and chemicals so we sent it back, waited again for another 20 minutes to receive the new burger which we than asked for it to be ?to go?. Disappointing experience.
Such an amazing place to bring the kiddos to play and of course eat. This place puts such care into their food from presentation to your table. Staff is super friendly also. On this visit we were taken care of by Terrance and Cynthia. This food is nothing shorter then 5 stars. I ordered my steak medium and it was spot on....I can't name a steak house that does it this good. In the pictures is the Fire-grilled Steak with Bacon-Wrapped Shrimp & Lobster Sauce followed by their Cheesecake...?????? Great job
Fun place . Good night out of course like any arcade it's a kid and adult casino lol . We go have been here several times and this time decided to try the food . Took along time to get our drink order in and the food order then waited almost an hour for the food but only us and another table where seated . We did ordered about 5 different dishes and honestly not one was too good . I would definitely skip the food next time and eat else where but the arcade is fun
Dave and busters is always a great date night or fun place to hang with the kids great deals and excellent atmosphere. Really enjoy it on a Thursday since they had all you can eat wings
Went in with a group of 5, including me. It took them a bit to set us down, but they were busy, and looked like only a few people were working, so no complaining here, it happens! Once we were sat down, we didn't have anyone come to ask us for drinks for a while, but the servers came over and explained that there systems were down (again, not their fault!), and our server memorized all of our drinks and food, and even offered us a discount for our wait! While we were waiting for our food after we got our dr
Very great atmosphere, the service was amazing, and the food was great! Fun for the whole family or a date night.
Amazing place to have a celebration for young and old! Staff take extra precautions to ensure cleanliness to include wearing masks and have hand sanitizer throughout the facility. Staff was extremely friendly and prompt. The food was delicious and came in portions large enough to share and/or take leftovers! Also, the games were fun for the whole family!
I didn't mind so much the waitress flirting with my date. What I didn't like was I gave you my credit card. Me. Why are you giving it back to whom you were flirting with. It's not cool. Not even a little bit. The food was good.
Place was awesome, better then that Round 1 and food was good and arcade was fun. Don't mind coming back soon.
I went only for the games. I haven't eaten here in over two years. Didn't like the food then doubt I'd like the food now. Most games were up and running and fully functional which is awesome when you're going just for gaming. Management responded fairly quickly. Just disappointed about the app that you should be able to use on your phone to play the games. Turns out the app is super finicky
It's a really fun place but it's like a dead zone. There's like no workers there if you you need help
I've known about this place but hadn't been here before . My friend and I tried it for the first time and we've come back about 4 times already in the last couple of weeks mainly to the bar The drinks are very good as well as the service!!
Saturday 01/11/25 around 4pm my friends and family had planned to celebrate my friends daughters 15 birthday. From the moment all 13 of us walked in we were getting looked at as if we didn't belong..my friend had approached the service counter to ask about being seated he right off the bat said 1 hour to an hour & 30 min. Didn't ask about being split up into smaller groups just gave us that time frame. We walked through the restaurant full of DIRTY tables and empty tables ( and not all of them had "RESERVED
One of our students misplaced a phone, front tried to hide it. Only when a classmate started tracking, the phone was returned. Bad business and pr.
I love this place! I was invited to their Holiday Showcase and everything was awesome! The food, the games and the service was second to none! I will be going back to Dave and Busters again with my family!
Great place for drinks ,food and games... but a bit pricey. Be prepared to spend some loot.
Love coming here for dates or just to have a drink at the bar. The atmosphere and decor makes it feel like a safe, upscale place with fun lights, very neat and clean, and good to just hang out and have fun!
Took family of 9 to enjoy the evening. Received a table for 4 adults and 5 children. Kids plying the games and was seated and left the table to find my family came back and table was taken by other people. Asked the hostess she stated she waited 5 minutes and it is policy that after 5 minutes she has to give the table to someone else due to fight night. Mind you already spent almost 200.00 for games. We were planning on eating and drinking there probably going to spend another 200.00. I felt discriminat
It has been 9 minutes until I asked for a bar tender, finally showed up. Once she was able to keep after at 10 min wait, she without not let me but a drink for a person at the holiday party that had already been served with that person's id
We normally like and have a great time here. Instead, I left, with 2 crying children, after sitting at our table for almost an hour without even getting our appetizers. I had to go to the bar and get the kids chocolate milks because our server forgot about those too and I saw them just sitting. We were sat at 2:28. Ordered apps and drinks right away. She came back 1 time about 20 minutes later to get our meal order and said the apps were almost ready. At about 3:15 I called it quits, told the manager w
I love bringing friends and family here to have a good time. Good selection of adult drinks, the menu is fairly diverse, and a good selection of games. The staff is always friendly. Special shout out to Klaus for always taking great care of us.
First time was a few weeks ago on a Sunday on a date. Fun adult experience. Played games we grew up with, had the chicken parmesan it was good enough as well as my mixed drink. Clean, our waitress was friendly and attentive. Great and cozy place to sit and talk. Look forward to go back!
Our sever was great dang I don't get her name but it was new years night just me and my baby girl 7 maybe she'll remember us I'm perty sure we where her last table dark hair well and way shout to her great service and games where fun and we gotta to get hats and horns to ring in new year I'm surprised their wasn't more parents with their kids their
Still pricey but the games are fun and the food wasn't bad. Went for a work lunch and it was not bad for the money we did get unlimited arcade games for the day.
Really fun place i loved it the only problem is if you buy a virtual play u have to hope there will be an employee there to help u ive gone over 10 times and was only every able to get them down there once its a really fun great place other than the staff is pretty slow and lazy
Best mushroom burger I ever had! Adrian was wonderful! Drinks and food were spectacular! ??????????
The food was just ok but the service was incredible! From our amazing server Trisha to Sebastian who cashed in all of our tickets,, the woman who helped us with our game cards and the wonderful Manager who came and found me to bring me my sweater, every single person was fabulous!!! We had such a great time playing games for hours and it didn't break the bank! I wish the food was better, but because of the fantastic staff and the fun games, my family and I will definitely be back!
I love going here for date night with my wife. Their menu is always changing and most of their food is super good. I recommend the Nashville hot wings! The only downside is that it is pretty pricey so be ready to drop a good $100-150 if you're doing full meal, drinks, and dinner.
My family and I really enjoyed this location of Dave & Buster's. The waiter and the other staff was really friendly and helpful. The burger that I ordered was a little too dry but the rest of the food was great. And the only think I was hoping was that they had more games for toddlers.
Fish & Chips was really good! Just came back from England, and I had high expectations, I was cautious to order it but was very happy I did.
I ordered a Gluten Free "don't remember what it's called". Like a loaded potato with shredded steak and sauce on it, and a milk. The chef came to our table and said it's not GF because of some of the ingredients. Though it was list as NG (No Gluten). So I ordered a salad with grilled chicken. They brought me a salad with no chicken on it. Plus I reminded them 4 times I need a milk, and my Granddaughter needed her apple juice. After we left I looked at the bill, they billed us for 2 salads. We only ordered 1
Ridiculous wait time when the dining area was mostly empty. Service was good but not the 1:45 min wait to be seated.
Food was delicious my son's finished their pizzas in not time. Big piece of fish for the fish n chips. Big cheeseburgers.
Really fun. I haven't been to a Dave and Buster's in ten years. The food is better, the games are worse. Food was fine, about what you'd expect from one of the big chains. Burger was good if a little messy, fries were too oily and soggy. Games are much more in the direction of carnival games for tickets than games to actually play. Probably good for kids as they're much more interactive and physical. Staff was exceptional. A manager was walking by as my nephew almost hit his goal, the manager gave h
This place is awesome. I've never been here before. It's huge. Lots of TVs game. I met Adrian at the bar. He's friendly and Keane is hooking up with the good food.
Great service, food and drinks. We tried the team building. Server was present and motivated.. i would definitely go back.
Great place for adults and kids. It's nice and clean. Everyone had a good time!
It's been about a month since this happened but I kept forgetting to leave this review. My friends and I had played games for about an hour and a half. We had acquired a lot of tickets and decided to buy food item with them. After redeeming at the prize counter we headed over to the dining side. As we waited at the host stand a manager approaches us and says ?is there something I can help you with?? So I say yes we're wanting a table. He looks at us and tells us that he can't do that because of our age. We
Served literal raw pieces of chicken as their boneless wings.
Total rip off. Charged my chard 2 times and had to refund and charge me 3 times. In order to refund the first two transactions. Offered me a meal as a replacement instead of $200
It took forever to get our food, there was 1 waitress for 7 tables, the food was not prepared the way we wanted..my steak was raw, food was cold, their excuse was they were busy..we thought it would be decent at least for Christmas dinner, but never again will I give my business to this place.
I've been to Dave & Busters locations all over the country, and I can confidently say that this one by far the worst I've encountered. Recently, I had a terrible experience with a broken giant claw game that has the prize as tickets. The claw was clearly loose and faulty, making it impossible to win. I played multiple times and saw countless others do the same for a good hour, all without success. Even one of the employees admitted that the claw was malfunctioning and that they had reported the issue to m
We went as a family on a Monday night before one of our kids went back to college. Ordered fried pickles hardly any breading at all. They were not crunchy at all, either. The adjective i would use is soggy - a huge disappointment. They did choose a very good dill pickle. The salad was good. The other items ordered were ok but forgotten.
Our server/waitress Sophia was the best! She made our night out so much more pleasant and enjoyable (we had children ages 6,5,4,3 and 2) in our group. She was patient and was on top of anything that we needed. She herself is an asset to this team!
Great games and food. The only problem we've recurrently had has been with the game-credit bracelets. Even on the day we buy or replace them, it's very difficult to get the sensors on the games to recognize when they're swiped. This can be frustrating when you want to swipe easily to continue a game with a countdown.
I've been to this establishment, Dave and Buster's, many times throughout several states. I've always loved this place. Food is pretty good, but not spectacular. On this particular occasion I had invited the owner of my franchise. I had told him what a good time I had the night before and he decided we should go there. After 2 drinks each and the whole table of 4, for a total of 8, we were cut off. We had not consumed a beverage prior to arriving. After 8 drinks between 4 people we were cut off! I w
The fish and chips were good!!! The cocktail was done well, and pretzel was ginormous. It was a Fun night.
The service there was awesome. The waitress was great and friendly. The atmosphere was clean and organized to where we could enjoy the games.
A lovely date night! Their backwoods lemonade was so delicious for those of age to drink! We also had happy hour $5 queso fries as well! So worth it! Walked around with our drinks & played games (they have tables laid out around the building for your drinks next to the games). Bartenders here deserve so much praise!! Delicious drinks!! Will come back for date night!
We visited this evening to celebrate an accomplishment with our family and although we enjoyed our food, the service was awful. We felt like a burden the entire visit and every staff we interacted with acted like they hated their jobs. The best part was after we spent $90 in the dining on food with a 20% tip on top of that so a total of around $110 and our server was not friendly the entire visit, my cousin and I wanted to enjoy a drink in the bar area while our family played games. A random lady approached
Had a great day at Dave and Buster's. It's a bit on the pricey side, but it was a great time. Service was a but slow, but food was delicious. Great family time.
We came to enjoy a throwback to our first date over ten years ago. We were disappointed. Our server, Rebekah came to our table a grand total of 3 times, the last was only because I ordered a drink. My sides were plated long before my entree was ready and we're cold. The manager came before our food arrived and then not again to see how things were. We had to locate the manager to even pay and she showed up one last time claiming the computer is too slow. Overall, highly disappointing. Two stars only because
Great New facility with family friendly layout. Service was great and they were able to answer any questions I had regarding game cards purchased alongside our meal.
I visit this store at least once a year from North Carolina, and I had an exceptional experience here this past time. Met Drew the GM and the simple help he offered to hold my luggage in his office while I went to play games and relax after being in a airplane and airports sinse 4am was a major help and as hungry as I was, the 5 cheese flatbread was cooked perfectly and hit the spot. Drink was made perfectly as well. Look forward to visiting again next year.
We went in tonight to watch the NBA finals, the staff is inadequate and don't know how to handle a semi-busy evening. The manager was rude and so was her assistant, the bald guy near the door. He was awful. Now you're offering half price food, when you get customers in the door it's important you treat them well or you'll lose them again forever not even half-price food will get them back.
Games,????? Food?? and Drinks???????? I Love Dave&Buster's.???? I always have a pretty Dope??????????????????time every time I hit D&B's up also it is in a Good location in general if your wanting to stop in before or after u go shopping??? or even to check out a movie, because the ???I-MAX movie?? ??theater??? is like right there in that same general location.. It is in the uptown mall area. So there is a couple malls in the area in general along with a Target in the area as well.. I say stop by when u ge
Loved the atmosphere! All the games worked well and my kids had a blast. While I was here I ened up losing my debit card and so many of the staff helped me look for it! Absolutely blown away with the customer service here. Between the amazing food, drinks, and games there's something for everyone here. Oh and for those wondering my debit card was found and returned to me ??
The manager corrected our drinks when we spoke to him. Very friendly man. Appreciated the service by him greatly.
Staff was truly amazing all around! From the host to the gaming staff from the bartender to our waitress - outstanding! It was a busy sporting event night and although it had to be stressful for them their kindness and professionalism did not go unnoticed. The atmosphere was great and the food was even better!
Today we had our cheerleading banquet. The staff was amazing, the room was clean, easy to set up, everyone was helpful and paid attention to everyone. 5 stars doesn't seem like enough. The food was great kids loved all of it. Everything was on time. Thank you Dave and busters for an amazing day.
New arcades, great food, good service. We had a great time coming here. Love to visit again soon.
Great time, friendly staff and good food.
Me and my family came here a week ago in the evening to celebrate our teens' birthday. The place wasn't over crowded. Lots and lots of games all in working order. Upon arrival we were greeted by Miles who was super sweet and courteous. He set us up with our chips and we sat ourselves close to the bar and game area. Our server was Liz and she was also very sweet and made our experience enjoyable. She even brought an ice cream Sunday over to our table to sing happy birthday! That was awesome! Food was ok. Not
I just arrived for lunch with my son and sat for 30 min. and never got served. The sloppy jack-a$$ of a manager looked either high or just plain o'l stupid. Even he was worthless. We just left and had a great lunch at Ojo's Locos.
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
Yes, pool tables in arcades remain a fantastic draw in 2025! Games like 8-ball or 9-ball offer tactile, skill-based fun that blends strategy and precision. Modern tables feature smooth felt, responsive cues, and vibrant designs, enhancing the classic experience. Arcades foster a social vibe with casual matches or competitive tournaments, appealing to all skill levels. Unlike digital games, pool’s physicality—lining up shots, feeling the cue’s weight—keeps it timeless.
Yes, virtual reality (VR) games in arcades are a top attraction in 2025! Titles like Beat Saber and Half-Life: Alyx deliver immersive thrills with cutting-edge headsets, motion tracking, and responsive controllers. High-resolution displays and spatial audio create heart-pounding experiences, from slashing rhythms to battling zombies. Arcades feature multiplayer VR zones and tournaments, fostering lively communities. VR booths are regularly packed, proving their captivating, next-level gameplay makes them a must-try arcade experience.
Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
