    This was the second time that we have taken our son here at his request. The first time was a disaster as the service was incredibly slow. Two hours for dinner. This time we were sat in the bar area and waited 20 minutes at the table without being acknowledged. The bartender looked at us several times and never offered any service or help. He was to busy fixing his hair and serving the four people at the bar. We finally just got up and left. This was a Tuesday night. I cant imagine what a weekend is like. This is the first review that I have ever left a business as I always figure that every business has a bad day. But this place is ridiculous.

    My local Dave & Buster’s is one of my favorite places to relax with family and friends. The atmosphere is lively, the food is consistently great, and we always leave having had a fun night. The only issue worth noting is with the basketball arcade machines. On four separate occasions , the sensors didn’t seem to register shots properly. Four different times I hit 30 points well before the timer ended, but the game didn’t move me to the bonus round. A little maintenance there would make the experience flawless. Still, it’s an awesome spot overall and will continue to spend my money there.

    Be careful when you get the deal package.. You pay like 50 some odd dollars and it's for like an hour of play however they do not tell you that it will only work in certain machines you can't use it in the ones that light up purple. And it's hard to play a game back-to-back because you have to wait a certain amount of time for it to allow you to sweep it. It was extremely frustrating. When we just did it without the deal when we swipe the card it took some money off but the games didn't work so be careful on that. Overall it is a good place to bring the family just be aware of some of the glitches they have. We will be back knowing what we know we will definitely have a better time.

    I went with my son and his friends. It was a decent spot. I felt it was a bit pricey for the food. My food was way overcooked to the point that it was difficult to chew. The pasta was very sticky. The staff seemed preoccupied even though it was not really busy. They did have a cheeky gimmick here and there like the joke of the day. I can see small children and teens alike enjoying this place. As an adult I would never come here without a child. Seems pointless unless you like to spend money on arcades and ticket games to earn cheap prizes. Just not my cup of tea. It would be easy to spend over 100 dollars on two people especially if you have an adult beverage or two.

    Horrible service. I made a reservation for 7:00 pm. I arrived at 6:50 and the guy who was seating said it would be about 2 minutes. We waited while others walked in and were seated immediately. After 15 minutes the same guy walked out the door. Another 20 minutes went by before a girl came up and asked if we were waiting to be seated. When we sat down our waitress took our orders and threw our forks on the table saying sorry we don’t have any rolled up. We were a group of 6, about 10 minutes goes past and 1 main comes out. 45 minutes later the rest of the food arrived including the sides for that 1 main that came out. Our waitress asked if we needed refills and we all said yes she refilled 2 drinks and I had to take our own drinks up to be refilled. I had to get up and get napkins and straws for our table because our waitress was busy talking with other staff. I have been to the other Dave and busters in Pittsburgh and it was way better than this one. I would never recommend this location. Dirty seats and floors just poor service. And when we didn’t tip the waitress got an attitude I’m sorry but we spent $400 in game cards and another $150 in food and the service was completely unacceptable. The photo is of our waitress
