What a fun place! We had such an amazing time last night watching the Celtics game on the big screen even though the Celtics lost. Great atmosphere, great food and plenty of games to play. It's fun for everyone, kids and adults. My salmon was delicious, their menu includes different drink options, so, your choice! Kids love that place. We will definitely go back soon. Overall, it was a great experience!
D&B?s is meh. Nothing over the top and nothing too bad. Went for a work party with a large group. Food was underwhelming, over cooked fried food and other buffet options lacked flavor (that's what the team was saying). I asked for Gluten Free options with the server and they didn't make me feel good about eating there so I stuck to a salad. The $30 plus margarita was good but was underwhelming and more of a hype item. Bartenders were great. Service was okay. Games were fun. Not a first choice for team meeti
We were celebrating my husband?s 28th birthday! We booked a table and got there an hour before to play, we had so much fun!
Always a good time at Dave and busters. Employees are nice, the game selection is plentiful and good and the drinks are pretty cheap compared to most bars. One tip would be to go on a Wednesday so you save way more money.
The games are very fun to play. The staff are pretty friendly. The food is tasty and it's overall a fun place to go for a fun time!
I try to set the high score here on pop a shot here every weekend morning. Sorry to everyone who goes after 12pm on a Saturday - you have my score to beat. Plus the roast beef au jus is delicious !
Arcade review: I kind of had no choice in going here, but it definitely confirmed my dislike for arcades. Not only are 90% of the games in there rigged against you, but many of them malfunctioned. I really don't understand the appeal of arcades to grown adults.
Went on a busy Sunday night around 5:00pm. Looked packed by the parking lot but inside was not to bad, it's big enough to where you don't notice all the people. The prices to play games were high. The food was not the greatest, typical chicken tenders with or without sauce they were okay. The fries both regular and truffle sucked. The salad was drenched in salad dressing couldn't even eat it. The voodu pasta was the best thing we got. The burger was okay. If your starving then it would be okay to eat here,
Went here for my birthday weekend. Thought it would have more games but overall enjoyed the ones they had. I would not recommend eating here though. We were dissapointed with our meals, except for the ones who ordered buffalo chicken tenders (and we ordered quite a bit). Our appetizer (sad nachos) came way before our drinks (15mins). We had to wait for a bit when asking for something as our waiter had other tables of 5+ people. We left her a good tip but we will not be dining here again.
Great service. My lil ones gaming card went missing and they helped us retrieve one back. We waited for about a hour but killed time playing games which had plenty to choose from. The burgers, steak sandwich were great and the truffle fries. Even the kids Mac and cheese were good. Clean airy space with large screens for sports. Oh and there is a game you can play on television while waiting for your food which helped kill time.
I am always a big Dave and busters fan and this location did not disappoint. Our waiter was great and the food was delicious. We had a great time playing games as well.
It really depends what you are looking for. If you want a fun place to take your kid and play some silly games and get tickets for dumb prizes, you can have a lot of fun here. My son certainly loved it. But it's dinner in an arcade so there's that.But it is what it is. They do have big screens to watch games and they do have a bar. Our waiter was very nice, but it took a while to get seated, as in no one was at the hostess stand for several minutes. I got two things to eat. The spicy Korean boneless wings
My first time, I absolutely loved the place. I feel like it's a great place to take your family with, eat some,play some, win some....have fun all around. A bit cautious with the games , they quickly get addictive.
Another great experience at Dave & Busters. We use DB all over the country and always have a great experience.
We did a family thing on Valentine's. The food was good, perfect for a family meal. The place was busy but virtually spotless. Tons of games to play and chances to compete in your group.
We had a small business event here and got one of the function rooms. The room was a good size, and our waitress Sam was awesome. She really made the experience great. Thank you!
The place is better than other Dave & Buster's, the food is okay but can be better, especially the nachos. We love spending time with my family and friends there. ?? The workers are amazing! And is a good place to celebrate ??
Awesome Experience!!! Good Food, But my favorite was the Drinks! ????
Lost my AirPods here today 1/13/24 around 3:12 and still haven't found them. The games I went to were the basketball, bowling, Mario driving, lock key game, kung fu panda game, piano game, motor cycle game,. tried multiple times to ask to see if staff found them or anyone, they literally just open the drawer don't even look properly and say no. I will put a picture in the desperation on what case my AirPods had. The food is good and normal like you get at a casual restaurant. Staff At the front desk kind of
Pros and cons.. Pros: the food was absolutely delicious, the games were fun and nearly all of them were working. They were cleaning regularly. The front desk staff was awesome. Cons: The food was a bit on the pricy side. Non-existant restaurant service. I was seated at the restaurant and told to scan the QR that was on the table. No problem. Then it explains that you order from the phone. There's basically no wait staff, just food runners. I wanted a half lemonade, half tea, but no staff, no service, no dic
My family and I love it here! We frequent Dave & Busters a few times a month. The food is good and tasty and the games are really fun. The prize room is pretty nice as well
Outstanding staff, games and food. A huge variety of games and all of them were working. Great bar area. Multiple TV's for sports and easy seating. Food was on point! Drinks were amazing as well. New drinks are a must try. Dangerous water mix drink is my number one and it's just crazy with flavor. Clean and not super packed. All around great!
Super fun place for a date night! I can see people of all ages loving this place. They have fun cocktails, typical American/pub type eats, and a great selection of games to play. The service at the bar has always been great when I've visited and none of the games were out of order.
The place is great, can take the kids to have fun while you can watch some sports and have a drink. The food is good, can probably use some more flavor but overall pretty good, drinks are great.
? Food/Restaurant service: 1 Star ? Food and alcoholic drink selection & taste: 4 Stars ? Arcade games selection and fun: 5 Stars The main reason for the one star food/restaurant review is due to our waitress. While it was a very busy Saturday night due to an MMA fight being shown at the bar, there were plenty of wait staff to handle the rush. However, our waitress forgot to put the food order in for me and the one other person in my party. After 45 minutes of waiting I asked the waitress if it typically t
Went to celebrate a birthday it was my first time going to Dave & busters It was a really fun, wish they had a few little kid games though something for the really little ones to have some fun to. the food was ok but way over priced , the menu is not big at all.the chicken Tenders you only get 4 pieces for 12 dollars and not worth the money , the mushroom burger was good. I will be back but will eat somewhere else I enjoy then go just for the games the mango bull adult drink was Delicious and tasted like
If I had 1 small complaint it was the food, but to be honest I didn't go there for the food. The service was great, atmosphere obviously was fun! The prices were as expected so no surprise there. We had a good time!
We all had a great time, but it seemed like they were understaffed the day we went and it took half an hour to get a bottle of water from the bar, which was the only place we could get from. Very expensive and it take forever and a lot of money for kids to accumulate points to even get to exchange for any prizes. Food was ok.
Understaffed and dirty. The link provided below by management doesn't allow for same-day reviews in order to discourage follow up. Typical corporate BS. Won't go back.
It's super fin place, plenty of games, easy to lose track of time. The drinks they make at the bar are amazing. Unfortunately, I didn't have a great experience with the food. I ordered a Thai Salad, first of all my order was messed up, after they brought the right food I was left to realize that chicken on my salad was old and super chewy, and all the greens on the salad were dark. My friend?s food though was good. Nevertheless, personnel was nice and friendly, they took my salad out of the bill and got us
A bit pricy for games but that part is fun. The dinning experience is terrible currently, they have this horrible app ordering system that seems to just cause issues and result in you not getting proper service for basic things like drink refills. The mixed drinks are really over priced for the amount of liquor and I'm not even a big liquor person
Grabbed couple of beers at the bar while kids were playing in arcade area. Once kids came to bar area after finished playing. The person managing tables in bar area came to us 2 times in 5 minutes to say they can't stand there with us while we finish our beers. When I specifically told him, we will be leaving in 5 minutes. He still came back in one minute to tell us that we can have anyone standing near our table. Spent over 200 dollars for the fantastic treatment. Busy bar with processes to make it uncomf
The food is ok. This review is about the arcade and staff. A good amount of games are broken, missing necessary items to play the game or just not working correctly. Some of the staff reek of weed and others will give you attitude if you try and tell them about a game not functioning correctly. The only thing they offer to do is let you play the broken game again. If you are going here for the food and bar experience, then it's fine. Avoid this if you want to play games. extremely frustrating experience. E
This place can get crowded, but on a regular weekday it's empty. The food was good, it's self order online but you can also order with the waiter. Loss a star because some of the bathroom stalls were broken and would not lock. Some of the games were also broken.
Games are great, food is great, prices.. not so much. I would say for one person to play games and eat and be satisfied it would cost around $40 - $50. Me and all my friends received $20 for unlimited blue card games for the entire day instead of for only 1 hour because there was so much confusion and we went at 3om so there was like 6 people there. Even the blue card games are very fun.
Not really my type of place but my 13 year old nephew loves it. Lots of cool games, interactive and skill too. Food was ok, about what I expected. We always spend a minimum of $60 on games so I'd recommend joining their club and using the player cards over again to save $
This place is so beautiful especially for kids you can't go with your family it's amazing I like it 5 stars
We went to Dave and Busters for a team building/Christmas Party. I didn't know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. The food was great! The staff was amazing! And we ran around Dave & Busters broken down into teams doing a scavenger hunt. It was great!
My 14 year old daughter is on a school trip to Boston and the tour took them there for dinner. She had been saving all of her money from Christmas and Birthday. She managed to lose her wallet with all of her money. Needless to say she was devastated. I contacted the manager Michelle this morning and she checked to see if it had been turned in. To no avail. I was surprised to receive a call hours later from Michelle to let me know they had found the wallet with all her money in it. Michelle sounded just as e
My kids had a blast. The only short fall was when they were cashing in their tickets for prizes. We were 97 tickets shy which related to $1.00 short. I handed the cashier a dollar. Their machine was broken so I had to go upfront and pay the attendant $1.00 for tickets then go back and have them rescan the items and the card which was a mess because of several reasons. Anyhow the people and games were awesome, we will be back.
Truly a big disappointment. So over priced to play games .And the food was disgusting. At least the chicken bites and fried pickles. Never again will I go and spend my money there.
I come to this place pretty often, maybe about once a month. Everyone here is amazing. The cashiers up front are very nice, the game technicians are very patient, the bartenders (shoutout Suzanne!) make awesome drinks, and the cooks make some crazy delicious food! The games are fun of course, but this place would not be standing without its amazing workers. Don't sleep on D&B?s food, it's actually really delicious. And Suzanne the bartender makes some amazing drinks as well, and she's very nice too! There's
People are friendly in there, and the food is really good. Go and try it guys
Went to this place to have some food, drinks, and arcade. Place is nasty the tables were disgusting and the chairs were covered in grease from other people. The food was cold on arrival and nasty. The place was near empty so you think they'd clean the place up a bit. Horrendous experience will never be going back.
After a few visits, It seems that the busier it is the better the service is. There were a few arcade games that were having issues. Seemed like low priority for them to actually fix the issues versus to just get it to work for someone.
Went here for a company event and the crew crushed it. We were close to 200 people and they showed us great hospitality. It was a super fun day with a scavenger hunt and they even had a conference room big enough so we could all fit. They served a bbq buffet and were attentive to switching out empty trays. Food was decent and displayed very nicely.
Food always cold, we dont want to try anymore. Kid only care RK
Fun place for young and older. My kids came here for a birthday party and had fun. I had a good time myself. The games are a bit pricey but they are well maintained. The food is decent and environment is fun. There are many big screen TVs so it is a good venue to watch sports and have some drinks. They have a decent alcohol menu.
The food was not bad but the restaurant staff was too busy (we had to get up to go to the counter and pay) Anyways, I really enjoyed playing games and had a lot of fun! I thinks it is a great place to hang out in winter
My kids love it. And to be honest it's not the worst value either. Good cpl hrs every time we visit one
My first time last night going here. We got there around 10 and they close at midnight so we decided to order some food before playing games. We ordered the avocado toast cuz the picture looked really good on the menu( first pic is what it should look like and the second one was what we got delivered at our table) don't get me wrong it was still good but idk if it was cuz it was 2 hours before closing tho that's no excuse why the food wasn't what i ordered (just looked like they didn't care enough to evan s
Had a blast. There are a few new games. The food was really good. More items on the menu.
for almost $100 in game credits and $3 card activation surcharge, the prize selections were not that good. we were 50 credits shy of 2 Pokemon packs worth ($3-$5 MSRP) even my kids felt swindled. their game credit down to the decimals, so its impossible to track, assuring you'll always have a remaining balance!
Middle of the pack service elevated by better than expected food and great entertainment options. Great place during the day to take the kids or watch a game at night w friends. Great deals if the timing can work for you as well. It is what it is and it does it pretty well.
Had a great date on vacation with my wife, the food was very good but not to to expensive, it's the gaming that I feel like they get you on it cost way to much for games, I'm sure if they made the prices lower people would stay and play more and they would make the same amount of money and get better reviews.
Really fun games to play. I got the Metal Sonic Funko Pop. You should fix your Simpsons game. It's not broken per se, but where you slide your card, it's next to another game. I wouldn't mind an upgrade for the Subway Surfers game. Bring Luigi?s Mansion back.
Used a groupon voucher here for 4 of us and none of the cards worked properly. It was advertised as unlimited games but that only counted for maybe 25% of the games. The restaurant was super slow and some of the food came out cold. They comped a couple of the items because they knew they screwed up. Would not recommend eating here. Some games are fun but most arent that great. There was also a cop just chilling at all times giving people trouble for what seemed like no reason
Perfect place for a family. Great atmosphere, having a lot of fun The employees are super nice. ?? highly recommend.
Solid 4 star. Would have been a 5 star, but the virtual reality ride was out of order, which really isn't a big deal. The problem was that no one communicated with the front desk, and we paid extra for our group to ride this and then needed to wait in line again to get a refund. Regardless, our group had a great time.
Great place to take the kids. Service staff for function room was not at their best. Had to go find them to replenish things like plates, drinks, food.
Guy named Liam took our number down and said 15-20 mins for a text to sit down for dinner. As there is 6 open tables and no one in line. After waiting 45 minutes with no response we left and got appetizers at another restaurant and still no text.
My kids love the arcade. The games are half price on Wednesday and it usually gets very busy on Wednesdays.
Good place for family entertainment. Reheated processed food, great sports events on large TVs, and lots of games at about 9 credits per game. Half price games on Wednesdays.
They claim family friendly fun but that is not true. The tranni server that they tried to put in front of my child proves that is a lie.
The wait staff were kind and prompt with their service. Absolutely a mess in terms of cleanliness. Tables were not being cleaned in a timely manner. At a point, I walked by the same table that had not been cleaned for two hours.
Such a huge place, many TVs with the games on. The staff were super attentive and accommodating. The drinks and food were also really good.
Fun place to take the family. Eaten there several times, always enjoyed the food and found something interesting on the menu. Huge screen TV IN BACK to watch the games. Only problem if you have any sensory sensitive people in your group it will be way too loud.
It's not the best place to have food. However, it is a nice place to go with your children and have some fun moments.
No one was at the host stand when we got there, when we asked if we could seat ourselves they just told us to go back to the host stand. We decided to sit at the bar so as to not wait any longer. Inconvenient since we were there for dinner. Service was really slow for a slow night and the garlic fries came out rock solid from the bottom of the bowl they had them in. Chicken sandwich, Bacon Burger, and ribs were all pretty good.
My family had such a great time here! There was so much to do... we could've spent a whole day plus another. The place was very clean and well stocked. We had lunch and the meal was good, although the portionsof chix fingers were too small (even my 9 yr old said so)... they did like the color changing slushy drink! Our only over-arching complaint is that there was no 'surge' staffing at natural choke points (reception and tix/prize exchange). Because of that fact, the staff had to be more patient for ir
I got a Barbacoa quesadilla and man it was really flavorful. Not overly greasy as well so it didn't make me feel bad. The price of the games are ridiculously high though.
Be careful when you get your bill. The server didn't show me the tab just the total. I tapped my card and then requested a receipt and realized he charged me for the kids drinks that were included in the kids meal. It's odd that he didn't show me the bill prior to asking me to pay. Then they told me they couldn't change it and they couldn't refund me because they closed my tab so they instead offered me credits for the arcade. I accepted.... However it definitely felt very intentional. Very suspect.
Fun spot with kids and adults. The food isn't bad actually either. Nice to have a beer here after work sometimes at the bar.
Pros - Bartender and bar was awesome, would return just to drink here! Fun games, decent amount of game and prize options. Cons - About 30% of games were broken or had issues. Kids everywhere at night, witnessed young child crying and searching for parents for at least an hour. Long line upon entry to obtain cards to start playing, staff could care less and waited over 45 minutes.
I was disappointed with my visit to Dave and Busters. We sat at the bar. The server was almost nonexistent. When we got our philly steak sliders and chicken tenders there was barely any philly cheesesteak in them and the buns were crunchy. The tiny chicken pieces were good and so was the dipping sauce but they were little. I tried to pick out what little steak there was. We never did see the server to settle up. We kept waiting but he never came back so we just left money at the bar and walked away The per
Horrible horrible service. Went to this location in hopes of having a great time with family visiting from out of state. We sat at the bar and none of the bartenders acknowledged us or made eye contact when there were very few people there. My cousin had to get the servers attention and when we did she was not friendly whatsoever. She took our order, gave us our drinks, and as she stepped away we decided to take our shots. As we were in the middle of taking our shots she just blurts out rudely $68.45.. (our
The games was great. The food was alright. The utensils wasnt properly cleaned, it smelled like they didnt clean it.
Nice Lil pitstop to grab some good food and play a few games...bit bummed because some of the games kept messing up but overall had a good time!
Went here with my boyfriend for some games and lunch. Arcade was fun. For lunch I had the Chimichurro Bowl and my boyfriend had a pepperoni pizza. While the food was good, unfortunately the ordering app had an issue and lost my boyfriends order, so he was stuck waiting a bit for his food.
This was my first time at any Dave & Busters and I have to say I will not go back. The food was terrible and undercooked, like so bad we had to send it back and then ordered dessert to go and found lettuce pieces in the dessert container that were not supposed to be there. I personally feel like the cost of chips for the games are stupid expensive. I was so excited to go and now I wish I had not gone such a waste of money in my opinion. I wish I had taken pictures of the food to show.
5 stars for Nick he was great. Made my family experience very enjoyable. The kitchen had us wait almost 1 hr for dinner. Other than that everything was good. ??
It was ok the kids weren't as excited as i thought they would be the dining area floor was horribly sticky but the food was great the kids loved the food .
Fun and entertaining place to eat and play skee ball and video games. For large parties the have function rooms to have your bday party in.
Great food and had a blast at the arcade area. Some games had errors and some look like they have seen better days.
It's a nice place, games are a bit pricey and the place draws a bunch of people so games may have a wait time.
Arcade is fun, especially on Wednesdays when they have a half off deal. Ended up playing some games with the ole lady and having dinner. Food was decent. I'd recommend the nachos for sure. The drinks are a bit weak as they measure them (like most chain restaurants), but they let you get an extra shot for a bit more kick. Overall, enjoyed the experience and walked away with a $130 dollar Icee machine for playing a few games and about $150 in credits. Overall, it's pretty fun, although I wish they had stron
It's a great place to go with family or friends and get some gaming in on a rainy day! Tons of great games, never broken.
This place is terrible. Over half of the games we tried to play didn't work. The games appeared to be in working order, until you swipe your card, then nothing. Very disappointing.
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.”
Absolutely, retro games in arcades remain a thrilling draw in 2025! Classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Street Fighter II offer simple yet addictive gameplay, blending nostalgia with timeless challenge. Modern arcade cabinets often feature crisp displays and restored controls, enhancing the experience. These games thrive on quick reflexes and strategy, with vibrant pixel art and iconic soundtracks that spark joy. Arcades host tournaments and leaderboards, fostering a lively community. While modern games dominate, retro titles provide a unique, accessible thrill that keeps arcades buzzing.
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!
