What People Are Saying About Dave & Buster's

Featured Review

In Short – This massive entertainment complex lures customers in with its arcade, then keeps them there by way of a spacious eatery serving pizza, pasta, burgers and finger food. Classic games like billiards, skeeball and shuffleboard are balanced by electronic counterpoints such as Ms. Pac-Man, Centipede and virtual-reality simulators that re-create an 18-wheeler ride or a Star Trek voyage. Of the two full bars, one comes with a 20-screen videodome designed for armchair quarterbacks.

It's like Chuck E. cheese for adults

by DuaneV at Citysearch

If you have never been to Dave and busters before it's a little hard to explain but the best way to explain that I have found is that it is alike a Chuck E. cheese for adults. It has a full restaurant, bar, and a huge gain room for adults that you need to be over 21 to attend. It's actually a lot of fun to bring out your inner child.

Don't Bother Eating Here

by greggparker619 at Citysearch

Don't bother eating here. The service was a horrible experience. The server didn't know any of the rules associated with the specials, and he was constantly trying to upsell drinks for a bigger tip, even after we told him that we just wanted food several times...annoying!!! The food was poor quality (we ordered the ribs) very fatty and the sauce was bland. Great place to get drunk and play video games, but eat before you get there.

  • Pros: Good drinks and video games
  • Cons: Bad service, kinda pricey
