  My husband and I have been coming here the last couple weeks for date night, and tonight and last Thursday, Rachel was our server/bartender. She was amazing!! Orders were quickly and accurately taken and received, food and drinks were amazing! I had the Frozen Strawberry Modelito and the Dave’s Double cheese. My husband had the Hennessy Strawberry and the Sirloin. Everything was great 😊💕💕 Will definitely be asking for Rachel next time 🥰

  I took my gf and her son to Dave and busters for the first time remembering how cool I used to think it was. We walk in the door and the hostess doesn’t speak a word. She was doing something else so we awkwardly stood there until she finished and then I finally spoke up stating we needed a table for three. She said okay. A few minutes go by and she takes us to this high top. My gf asked very politely if we could get a booth being we had a 5 year old with us.(There were only like 2 tables occupied in this entire restaurant) she’s looks confused and walks away to the kitchen. A few moments go by and finally she comes back and moves us to a booth. Gf and her son run to the restroom and I’m sitting there waiting for someone to come up and nobody ever does. They get back from the restroom and we sit there another 5-10 minutes and nobody comes by and finally we just got up and left. It was honestly so disappointing that we have something this has so much potential but the service just sucks. And it seems it’s a reoccurring issue as there’s other reviews very similar.

  Service and food was great but the atmosphere that my and I witnessed was not a good look sitting down at in a booth closer to the kitchen doors and all we hear is yelling at our server two other coworkers I’m assuming who works there also was right behind us cursing and yelling at our server.Both women who apparently were using bad words towards our server went into the kitchen. When our server came to the table just to see if we needed anything else because we were just waiting for our wings to come up my husband and I asked her if everything was okay she said yes with a smile (our server was so nice to us and calm about everything) so I asked her who’s the manager on shift for today because we would like to speak to him so she went to get her manager but the manager did not come to the table he just looked at us. Dave And Busters is a place of fun for the customers and for the workers but when horrible workers just cursing at a worker it’s disrespectful to the customers, to all the workers who are all working there, and to the restaurant. Overall the boneless wings, Philly burger, the dangerous water, and the passion ranch Rita was so so so good for and service I rate a 10/10 but the restaurant atmosphere I rate a 1/10 and a big thank you to our server making sure that we were ok and enjoying our time and food she was amazing ( we forgot her name but her badge said she loves going fishing) (managers do better for the sake of your restaurant, customers, and workers)

  Our food experience was horrible!!! First we were given tainted fish--they told us they would take it off our bill (because I wouldn't eat it). Sweet tea wasn't sweet. Manager didn't even know what kind of meat was in Philly cheesesteak. (It says on the bag, beef) Wow! What they didn't say was that it took away our special pricing. Instead of combining food into meals with play cards, everything became a la carte. 3 meal deals with cards were supposed to be $40/each...the bill turned into $163.93 even after taking off $11 for the fish. Buyer beware!!!! We will never go there again.

  Around 4 pm Had a 5 person party for a small birthday get together with family for my Fiancée. after getting sat, First greeted by a server (great girl) She moved us to another table which is fine being we usually aren’t a picky family, being a bartender I fully understand how things work in a restaurant. As we get moved over the server we are Im assuming we are being transferred over too, was right next our table, finishing with another table. Me and my fiancée sat there for about 5-10 mins waiting for our new server to greet us. Time goes by and still not greeted, as she walks back forth past us. The girl who originally moved us, approached us again and asked if we were helped, I told her no. and she proceeded to take our drink order, and appetizer. She comes back with our waters and a few moments go by Finally the New server approaches us with the beverage we ordered from the bar She introduces herself ( i don’t remember her name just remembered her name tag said “Fishing” under her name) and apologized for wait that she was “By herself” After our introductions, she left the table and we sat and waited for the rest of our party. Soon two more guest arrive and then moments later the server comes up again, asking our newcomers their drink orders ( only ordering waters) We debated our options for food with her, we were very indecisive so we asked her for some more time, while she grabbed everyone else’s drinks. Or we thought. She had another couple at a table behind us which she already had when we walked in. As we waited for our new comers waters, minutes later our fifth person finally arrived. Our server was standing behind us talking to her other table for some time which is okay, but after she was done talking with them she approached us again asked if we were “doing okay?” No waters for our new comers, Didn’t greet our new guest and apologizing for being “By herself” For how slow it was in there, especially that time of day. We told her we just needed our new comers drinks, and kind of just sitting there awkwardly, took our fifth persons drink orders and walks away.She comes back with our waters and Finally, it came to ordering time, Me and My fiance ordered the $10 wings. He got 20 all boneless i got 10 All bone- in. Time goes by, wings come out wrong, My fiancée’s came out 10 bone- in 10 boneless And the order I put in, was never put in. then a big party for a young girl with multiple party guest with her, starting to be sat in our servers section, and as the guest started to sit in her section, Along with a three top of a woman with her children she seem to start to kind of panic and opened up to us saying she was by herself. Didn’t seem like she could handle the two tables she already had. As I server i understand feeling overwhelmed. But The fact that we were there for a very long period of time before those other tables arrived, and she had no other people to attend to, nor was really anybody sitting in the restaurant portion of the restaurant. She could of been New and Genuinely over whelmed in that moment of time. And honestly, if she was a new employee seems like there maybe to be some extra stages to training that needs to be taken, I feel that That a manager should have not given her such a big section, if he knew that she could have not handle it even for how small of business was there in the time frame. Nor did i feel they should of sat two tables back to back on a possible “New” server. The manager he didn’t really do much besides watch the games on the screens next to us entire time he walked around instead checking on his Customers throughout the building. For such a giant franchise in a city with very much great potential to be better, Just maybe if the staff act like they kinda cared about their jobs. Maybe people wouldn’t write reviews To tell you how your business is failing, And you wouldn’t acquire three star reviews. Thanks anyway, Won’t be back for while.
