    The staff here is amazing. Definitely a cool place to watch a game, grab a drink or play some arcades! Check this place out if you’re in Miami. The manager Fran was so cool, he came to our table to talk to us for a bit.

    Aggressive night crowd. They kinda just let chaos run loose and only do something when they can't ignore it meaning someone is either going to be crying or aggressive to the point of physical confrontation. Bathroom's are beaten up bad too.

    I love dave and busters but everytime I go the employees just are so awful. Its like the hire the rudest people to work there. People at the front desk dont want to load up my card without attitude. I was waiting to ask someone for water and the employees were standing at the cashier flirting. I was asking for water another time and the lady at the bar was counting her tips right there. One time the waiter demanded a tip pretty much when my brother and friend and I got one order of the cheesesticks and didnt even give us water. The person at the front didnt want to combine my card tickets and told me to use the app instead. its just the worst workers here.

    Dave & Busters is not really that good of a place. I've been there a few times because of get togethers, but I've never really enjoyed it. This time around, I was pleasantly surprised that the food was actually good and was drastically improved on. It happened to be the night they launched their revamped menu. So kudos to them I guess. However, what really soured the mood was the bill I got. I did not realize that ordering a double for your drink would mean they charge you *twice* for that drink. Usually, it's like a small surcharge for the extra shot, but not here. I wish I had known that because then I just would have ordered two singles and at least have gotten two fully mixed drinks. Complete rip off. When it came to the arcade, it was another wave of disappointment. The games are not maintained well at all. They're all broken in such annoying ways. House of the Dead doesn't let player 1 join in play. Time Crisis has an issue where player one's screen is at half the frame rate of player 2's screen, and player 2's gun calibration is off center. Player 2's controller in the Cyberpunk game doesn't shoot hard enough to knock the plates down. The second cabinet for GRID has a messed up steering wheel that makes controlling the car impossible effectively ruining what is a fun two player experience. And it just goes on. For the amount I'm paying for both the food and the game cards you'd think the machines would be properly maintained. Oh well. I guess standards don't exist in 2025. EDIT: They're joking with this reply, right?
