Love the place, got to watch football last night, but the beer I ordered in a bottle was slightly colder than lukewarm. Our server was so nice, I didn't want to mention it, but can you please lower the temps on the cooler. Nothing worse than lukewarm beer.

We came here on a whim for my son’s birthday and from start to finish the experience was amazing. Our server Austin was absolutely amazing. He was the best server we’ve had at any establishment we have been to. The food was delicious and the game area was very clean. We will be back again for sure!

Over the years my husband and I will frequent Dave and busters. We have spent thousands and thousands of dollars here. Sure nothing is always perfect but that’s just like any other place. Which is normal.. however after returning for the first time in maybe 4-6 months it was awful. I wish I took more pictures. It was half price game night yesterday which is AWESOME! The joy quickly got crushed. Tons of games out of order. Others that just took our money and gave us no tickets. Then there was the bathroom situation. Only two stalls working others had signs they were out of order. Both stalls WRECKED. I had to kick toilet paper off the seat to just use the toilet. Paper towels overflowing out trash cans. It looked like no one had cleaned it all day. Unless something changes soon I’m not sure if my husband and I will return. Which is really sad because we love this place. Now I understand why they weren’t busy.

I ordered bistro steak and shrimp pasta. It was the worst pasta I’ve ever had in my life. Including garlic bread, it’s almost $30. I am upset that I have to pay this amount of money for this terrible meal. It said it’s lobster Alfredo sauce. I didn’t smell or taste anything even vaguely lobster flavored. It had a bland flavor. The pasta was overcooked. I can swallow it while barely chewing it. The garlic bread which is probably from a package had the best flavor.

Manager Brian was awesome. Went here on a date with my boyfriend. He helped us with games that didnt work and sped up our food order when the kitchen was behind. The ladies at redemption and the guest counter were super helpful as well. The food was fresh and delirious
