- RBRobert Baer3 days ago5.0Fun time at Dave & Busters in Columbus. It was smaller than other D&B we have visited but everyone had a great time. Food was good and the bar area was clean and inviting for the family
- MJMs Lady Jones4 days ago5.0Took my 2 yr old grandson and had a ball. He ran around and nobody had issues.
- NBNepria BrinstonJan 4, 20265.0We had a blast!!!! The food was a 10 out of 10... My son got a bacon cheeseburger and I tried the wings that were 10 for $10 today...... I tried the ranch and the Sriracha honey flavor... so so good... Are waitress was so sweet.. in the bathroom was clean 😊 we came on a Sunday which pretty much gave us double the points because everything is half off... great day to go because every penny counts right now. Also it's great because you can actually go into the price shop and get something decent.
- DUDarci UntiedDec 29, 20254.0Food was ok, nothing special. Service was slow even though the restaurant was almost empty. The host at the arcade was amazing and super helpful. Games are half price on Sundays, so if it costs 10 tokens to play, on Sunday it takes 5. This being the case it was crazy busy. We didn't have to wait long to play games so that was nice. Music is so loud, by the end of the evening I had a headache. For those sensitive to sounds and lights, probably not the place for you. Our family of 4 got out of there for $130 including meals and games.
- IDIan DixonDec 28, 20253.0Noisy. Don't plan on having a conversation here. The food is mediocre, the service is decent however. Not a place that I will rush back to. Did I mention it was noisy?
