    Took the family out for a night of fun. The games themselves were great. One had one minor issue but was fixed fairly quickly. I was a little disappointed in the food. For the amount it cost you didn't seem to get as much food compare to any other restaurant. I'd recommend eating somewhere else before eating there.

    Dave & Buster's is an extremely fun place! The arcade games are very enjoyable and it's easy to understand how to play them. They have a good selection of prizes as well! The service really was the icing on the cake though! The waiter was very fun, jolly, polite, and funny! I would definitely go here for a birthday or just as a fun outing with friends.

    Food was a 2, if I had known before hand I would had just gone for the entertainment. That is a fly on my fries . They asked if I wanted new ones or just a refund... Of course I did not want new ones, but really all you did was refund was 5$ off for the fries and didn't think I wasn't going to write a horrible review! My daughter ordered the salmon in the picture totally looks bigger than what she got, sometimes I really think restaurants try mom's that bring just kids with them SMH, just because it's a kid doesn't me you give them a smaller serving size. The Philly cheese steak should not have the would steak in it for the tiny sliver that was on trying to hide that under the mushrooms SMH. Never got asked how our food was once, it was cold, never asked about refills, oh except my cocktail that the manager slickly asked me if I wanted right after 7pm which was when the happy hour ended so my first 6$ drink my second was 11.99, yeah SMH, that was literally the only time any came to the table.so yeah food service sucks eat somewhere else first lol

    So fun with our out of town family. Huge variety of games to play for all ages. Some carnival style games were our favorite. Claw machine for large tickets was very wobbly. The duck machine had lots of variety ducks and you play till you win. Hugh tech Halo and car and sport games. Basket and football throws. Easy machines to load your playcard. Remember to keep them for future trips otherwise they charge $3 for a new card. Recommend for all ages and br prepared to spend lots of time there depending how long you want to play. We didn't eat there but as we walked by it looked like good food and pretty bar area.
