  Would really love to see the spicy green beans make a come back. So delicious! $10 wing deal is absolute MONEY and soooooo good. Bartenders who deserve a medal: Hilda, Eli, Daniel, Gabe, David and Kaitlyn. I don’t know if you could find a stronger team but this crew is legittttt!

  If you’re looking to watch a game in North County and let your kids run wild - this is the place the be. The wings are great, full bar, the bartenders are incredible - super friendly staff and great deals to be had. The kids love it, I love it - nobody ends with a bad day!

  I can see why this would be a great place for a family party. Food was typical of a sports bar, but seemingly better and I'm not entirely sure why. Perhaps it is because everything came out hot, plated well and was tasty. Service was fine but seemed rushed as many items were swiftly placed on the table and off they (the runners/servers) ran to service another table. I can see why this place can be challenging since there are tables everywhere, and a lot of them. The games are varied and interesting. I had fun just trying to figure out what each game did, then we would move on to another game, as my grandson would drag me to another across the huge facility. Drawback was there were many games that were not probably functioning and appeared to take your points away, but not function with any playable outcome. Kids had a good time, but I can tell that gaming adults were having fun as well. They have bar so they get an extra star. CritDicks

  I Came Here For Some Fun And Was Very Disappointed. I Actually Played Skiball And The Machine Took My Credits But Didn't Dispenses Any Balls. I Tried To Play The Bowling Game And Same Thing Happened Paid No Ball Came Out. Oh Yeah Tried To Play The Ring Toss And The Rings Came Out Very Slow Making It Impossible To Play. Yup The Same Thing Happened @ The Beanbag Toss. I Definitely Didn't See That Many People Playing On A Saturday Night. Oh Yeah All The Other D & B'S Are Always Packed. I'm Definitely Not Going Back To This Broken Down Place Again.

  I like Dave & Buster’s in general for easy entertainment, but it’s a bit pricey, and I noticed that a lot of the games will take your credits and not work! when we were there. We had six games, take credits and then not work! And to find someone to remedy the situation is often impossible, and then when they do, they’re not very nice about it they kind of had the roll your eyes attitude and then when they said they added more credits on, we tried to use them and it said no credits on our card. I got so frustrated. I ended up just leaving and it wasn’t very busy on that day either. we arrived at noon and there were maybe 25 other people in the establishment.
