    I went last nite, sunday, feb15, with some friends to have their first ever salsa lesson. Wow, it was horrible. I realize it's only an hour long and for 5 dollars you probably can't expect much. Howevet the instructor Brenda was intoxicated and made the "students" feel degraded with her choice of words towards them. I was embarrased for taking my friends. It was not only myself but other students felt the same. It is not the first time that I have seen her this way. Sad, but I will not be taking anymore friends to D+B . It should be a fun time, not a time to humiliated from a drunk teacher.

    I feel they need to wipe down the machines better as I got a cold from going there. I had a great time & they had some of the latest games yet not much retro like Hydro/Artic Thunder, Police 911 or Time Crisis games. I waited for 15 minutes to get service Monday, yet they didn’t come back to take my order at the bar. In hindsight, I saved $15 off Pretzel 🥨 Dogs 🌭 appetizer. Maybe I’ll give them a chance next time I’m in city The tickets for prizes could use a pamphlet or flyer / guide as they’re overpriced even for 2,500 tickets you can’t get much besides the cheap stuff

    Don’t go here for superbowl! We bought 4 tickets ahead of time and had to stand in line over an hour and then it took 1.5 hr to get our pre-paid wings. Takes over an hour to get a second drink. We got stuck on the corner worth poor views. 1.5 hr after kick off we still don’t have our food

    Had an awesome experience at the Tempe Dave & Buster’s! Sal is an absolutely amazing server — super attentive, fun, and great at keeping the atmosphere upbeat and enjoyable. He truly made our visit memorable. Huge shoutout to Vicky as well — she is an incredible manager who clearly cares about both the guests and the team. Everything ran smoothly, and you can tell she leads with positivity. Trent and Rob were also nothing but amazing and incredibly accommodating. The whole team went above and beyond to make sure we have a great time.

    I am a regular at this Dave & Buster’s, who visits frequently, and it used to be so great…But there are SOOOOO many broken games all the time now. I’m here right now and I’m just going to list all of the games that are currently broken: NFL 2-Minute Drill, Tailgate Toss, Break the Plate, Dizzy Chicken, Angry Birds Arcade, Down the Clown (one side working), Deal or No Deal, Angry Birds Coin Crash (one side working), Cyber Punk Turf Wars, Quick Drop, Spider-Man coin pusher, Black Hole, Funko Funcade (one side working) NASCAR Pit Stop (one side working), Cosmic XL claw machine, and various other partially operating multiplayer games. And this isn’t unusual, some of these games have been down for weeks and even months. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING.
