    Went here for son’s birthday. We kept trying to be upsold and then on a non busy night were charged $130 extra for things we didn’t order. We were only presented with a total, not an itemized receipt so we paid without checking. Then we had them text a receipt (because they said they couldn’t print one out) and realized we way overpaid. It’s been two weeks and we still haven’t received our refund.

    This is by far the best Dave and Busters in the country. The staff is amazing, the place is so clean and well run. My son and I have the best time. Honestly if there was a way to rate it higher I would. Def go and checkout - have dinner play some games and enjoy a drink !

    Payton was is an amazing bartender/host. My brother and I traveled here from Atlanta for UFC to meet fighters and see the event. Payton was so helpful during their meet and greet event and was a phenomenal bartender. Prime example of who you want serving you anytime you go out anywhere for good service.

    Came here after a movie to decompress and talk through it, sat at the bar and Pete took care of us the whole time. Not pushy on anything and made sure we could just chill with a beer - the opposite of everything else I in Times Square. Peyton was cool too, checked in on us, and made sure all guests had a steady flow and had someone to talk to. Worth it to chill, definitely a post-movie bar for a quick easy “what did we just watch?!?” Chat.
