- CMChristine MoyerNov 11, 20255.0As far as a Dave and Busters goes, it's pretty typical. Arcade is not the largest I've seen, but still plenty to choose from. What made our visit exceptional was the female bartender (I wish I could remember her name :( ). While playing a game, my phone slid out of my hoodie pocket. My husband and I searched for quite a while. We knew it was there because it was pinging at the location. She took our information and said once all the music and games were shut down she'd look for it....and she did and found it! I'm so grateful. She went above and beyond and will never forget her kindness!
- CCCassieNov 10, 20253.0Food here astronomically overpriced! The games were obviously a hit with our kids but I'd never go back. Our meals took forever with literally 4 other patrons in the entire restaurant. Our kids meals came out way before our adult meals and they were finished eating before we even got ours.
- KWKarmen WilsonNov 10, 20255.0This was an AMAZING experience!!! We had to redeem ourselves from a very underwhelming trip to Legoland and Dave and Buster's did not disappoint!! The food was great and the games were awesome!!! Staff was very friendly!! We'll definitely be back soon!!
- KMKen MitchellNov 7, 20255.0Hadn't been there in years. We took the grandson there for his birthday. The games were over the top. We loved it. Food was good. Service was good. Highly recommend!!
- MMmxrlxnxNov 6, 20255.0This was my first time ever at a dave and busters and i'll say i had lots of fun! Although I didn't get any food, we did ask for some water which was free! Although if we had gotten food we would've loved it since you're able to have your drinks right after with you while you play which seems like a lot of fun! We only had our waters with us but the tables next to the games was a very nice touch! They have season passes and their app is actually very convenient, i got an extra 100 chips for signing up but i did have to buy a digital card aside from my physical one since I needed to have a card already present in my app but no worries because I was able to transfer all the tokens over to my physical card within the app and use the physical one instead of having to use my phone each time which helps when frantically smacking the card onto the machine after dying in a game to get more lives. They have a small selection of prizes but it's fun nevertheless! They have a decent selection of games but you do get bored after a couple hours since you pretty much can play all the games atleast once within that time but if two hours is all you need then who cares! I was there pretty late until 11:30 and I liked how they're open late so you can still have fun with friends or family after things like work and such without worrying about closing time! Enjoyed my experience overall, token system easy to understand, had fun!!
