- LTLilly TallentNov 13, 20251.0Everyone on staff this evening besides the bartender who served us was ignorant and completely ignored us. We are frequently in this dave and busters, we also hold a gold season pass which we wouldn’t have unless we went frequently. Normally the staff and managers are amazing but tonight was upsetting.
- STShirley TorresOct 25, 20255.0With last minute changes to my wedding plans in 2020. Mr. Smith help me organize an important day in my life. We rent a banquet room , had food and drinks service. He help us setup everything so it was a breeze after the ceremony. Dave and busters is not only for birthdays but for special events in life. We couldn’t have had a better experience. Thank you so much to the amazing help from Mr Smith. The waitress that served us was amazing and attentive . Will definitely recommend.
- NNnoirOct 25, 20255.0I don’t usually write reviews, but Mr. Smith at Dave & Buster’s deserves ALL the recognition. From the moment we walked in, he brought the energy, the kindness, and the fun like nobody else! You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure everyone has a great time. He went above and beyond for our group, helping us with the games, cracking jokes, and even remembering our names by the end of the night. It’s rare to meet someone who makes an ordinary night out feel like a VIP experience, but Mr. Smith did exactly that. His professionalism mixed with his upbeat, friendly vibe made the whole atmosphere so much better. You could see other guests smiling just being around him, that’s how contagious his energy is. If every Dave & Buster’s had a Mr. Smith, they’d need to add an extra star to the rating system. 5 stars isn’t enough. Give this man a raise, a medal, and maybe his own game named after him. LEGENDARY service.
- LMLeyton MOct 24, 20255.0Mr. Smith. The name alone carries weight. A man built like a superhero, but with the heart of a saint. Everywhere he goes, people light up — because when Mr. Smith walks in, good energy follows. He’s the kind of guy who’ll beat you at basketball, fix the arcade machine, and hand you extra tickets just to see you smile. At Dave & Buster’s, he’s not just an employee — he’s a legend. Everyone knows him. Everyone respects him. Because no matter who you are, Mr. Smith treats you like family. Buff. Humble. Unstoppable. Mr. Smith isn’t just the nicest man in the world — he’s the GOAT.
