  We have been to several arcades in the triangle area. Dave and Buster's is definitely one of the most fun, tons of games to play, food doesn't give the place a smell, clean and well maintained, friendly and helpful staff and it really is for all ages - I saw kids and parents playing together everywhere I looked. Note: If you get the all access pass (unlimited) please note that you cannot play the pink lit games, only the blue and green. DDR is one of the pink games so if you came to dance then don't get that pass. There are PLENTY of other games to play though....most aren't pink. Also, the game play cards have a 1,500 ticket ceiling or cap on them. Many prizes cost over that amount, so be prepared to buy multiple cards if you want to get a large prize or pool your earnings with other members of your crew! All access pass gives you 90 minutes of play time for any game (excluding pink lit games). Enjoy! This place is great if you have some extra cash to burn!

  We visited for a birthday party and the kids had a great time. Lots of games to play, but unfortunately some require extra money/cards to play (like the VR). Don't expect to walk away with amazing prizes - they are just an afterthought after you've already dropped a hundred dollars or more. Even with the party card, we spent an extra $50 and the kids brought home a rubber band shooter (850 tickets) and a couple Chinese finger traps. Yes, they had fun, but I could have easily bought the "prizes" at Walmart for $5. This is one of those places we'd only visit on special occasions. The lights and noise are sensory overload with a sizable hit to your wallet.

  I don't know where to begin as I don't want to be negative but there are negatives. Obviously, the place is gonna be loud and busy. Luckily, we got there at a decent time and there was no wait to be seated. The service, at no fault of our server, SUCKED. She was tremendously busy, pulled in every direction and took forever to get food ordered and our check to pay and return my change. Again, no fault of hers, more management and the need for additional staff to alleviate stress off the workers. However, that said, she was very friendly and attentive as she could be. The food was delicious and hot, cooked well and came out fairly quickly. Atmosphere? Just loud, very loud, a bit more than I like when eating but I was out voted and that was where everyone wanted to go. You know, lots of kids and games equals lots of noise, plus people have to speak loud to be heard. So really nothing "bad" to say that would have me not wanting to ever go back there or any D&B, it just looks to be horrible with staffing which trickles down to the customers.

  Food was just fine. Grace did her best bring the only server present on a Friday night There were tons of games that didn't seem to register hits for payouts for tickets that our group collectively noticed and talked about at the end of the night. Twice I asked for help on games that took tokens but didn't work or errored out and no one showed up to help after acknowledging the request. Most of the games were just arcade versions of things available at home or on your phone anyway? Kind of wild the state of game bars these days but I suggest finding a local one instead of a franchise like this. Second time going to this location. Will never return.

  This place has tanked over the last year. We didn’t get the correct orders, and after asking for the ranch and blue cheese we originally ordered, I watched our waitress sit on her phone for about 15 minutes instead of helping us. Maybe three other tables at the time at most. The staff overall felt lazy, distracted, and not caring — like soulless ghosts. Easily some of the worst service I’ve had in a long time. The one bright spot was the cook. I asked him to redo a chicken order, and he did it with a smile, no questions asked, and even brought it out himself. He also cleared plates and brought our to‑go boxes. That guy is the only good employee they seem to have. The rest of the staff acted like grumpy sloths huddled together to complain about life instead of doing their jobs. The way they walked and the look on thier faces showed how they hated their job. Visited 2/13 from 3:30 to 5:00.
