  Daytime bartender was excellent never had a bartender that showed me tricks it was awesome but I need to save money on this going there so next time I will go Burger King directly across from the street for half price and a bigger and better hamburger for the price then I'll stop at the liquor store and for one pint I can buy one shot at the same alcohol and just order Coca-Cola then afterwards I'll give your employees tips because I said so much money

  I wanted to share some feedback from our first visit to Dave and Buster’s last night because if I were responsible for managing this location, I would genuinely want to know. Our server was friendly and polite throughout the evening. The challenges felt more like breakdowns in communication and overall service flow rather than an attitude issue. We sat at the bar and waited about 15 minutes before being greeted. It was a Monday night and the restaurant did not appear busy, with several staff members visible throughout the space, which is part of why the delay stood out to us. When we did order, we weren’t informed about any specials and weren’t given a full menu. I had to go to the front desk to ask for one. We asked if we could leave our drinks and food while we played games and were told yes. When we stepped away briefly, our drinks were cleared even though my drink was mostly full and I had only taken a few sips from it. They were not offered to be replaced. Instead, we were asked if we would like to order additional drinks after happy hour. When we requested to swap our fries, we were told it was handled, but the kitchen wasn’t aware of the change and the original fries came out. The charge also wasn’t adjusted. We also had to find a busser to place an additional order, and at one point I had to grab napkins from the other side of the bar after our wings arrived. The food itself was decent. It was really the overall service experience that made the night feel frustrating, especially given the price point. I’m sharing this simply because there seemed to be multiple breakdowns in communication and attentiveness. With some adjustments in those areas, the guest experience could be much stronger. Thank you for taking the time to read this

  The staff are super friendly and run this place pretty tight, this is like my 20th visit or something, too many to count. Love the drinks and the games, food is great. I have never had a bad time here. As long as the games are updated once in a while I'll keep coming back.

  My wife and I stopped by Dave & Buster’s expecting a relaxed evening with a couple of drinks, some food, and a few games recently. Unfortunately, the experience was uncomfortable enough that we left early and won’t be returning. The main reason for this review is something we witnessed from a female manager while we were seated at the bar. My wife overheard her openly speaking poorly about other employees in front of guests. This was not a private or quiet conversation. It was loud enough for customers to clearly hear, and the remarks were disrespectful and unprofessional. As someone in my late 40s who has managed people before, I found this completely unacceptable. A manager should handle issues privately and lead by example. Hearing a manager talk down about employees in front of customers shows a lack of professionalism and creates an uncomfortable atmosphere for everyone around. It made us uncomfortable enough that we didn’t stay long. A place like Dave & Buster’s should feel fun and welcoming, not awkward because of poor management behavior. The only positive part of the visit was the female bartender. She was friendly, attentive, and checked in on us regularly. If not for her, this would have easily been a one star experience. Between the unprofessional behavior from management and the uncomfortable environment it created, we likely won’t be back. There are plenty of other places that understand basic hospitality, respect, and how to treat both customers and employees.
