  This review is mostly informational. We went to have fun, and we did! We purchased the new eat & unlimited game play package for 90 minutes. It was definitely worth it, but I worn - DON'T wear a sweater! I was wearing a very thin sweater and was sweating. We were all hot and sweaty (from physical activity, not the temp.) The package deal had to be purchased in the dining room with our server during our meal, so not sure if you can play before you eat, which was our original plan, but everyone was hungry when we arrived, so we ended up eating first. My son said his D&B hamburger was bland and boring; he wasn't impressed. My ribs were great. No one else in the party commented about their food one way or the other. They had a variety of drinks at the bar. Another warning - if you select the auto tipping percentages on their checkout device, the tip amount includes the play part of your pass, not just the food. I asked the waitress if the tip was just for the food, and she confirmed the food was separate from the play pass, so the tip should only include the food. However, a quick calculation discovered it was not separate. So, instead of being charged a tip for just say a $20 hamburger and fries (have to guess as there are no prices on the menu), it charges the tip on the entire eat & play amount of $60. When I informed her, she asked if I wanted an itemized statement, but I told her I'd pay a tip based on $20 per person (everyone had the cheaper menu items except me - I upgraded to ribs), including one who didn't eat or play since they were taking space and air, plus beverages and a little more for good measure. I really did not want to short tip her; she was very nice. Our passes were only good for a max of 1500 prize tickets, which all of us managed to collect. I thought we could combine them and let the birthday boy get a special prize, but they won't let you "stack" them and everyone agreed the prizes for 1500 and less tix were lame, so no one redeemed their tickets. It was no big deal. Overall, we had a lot of fun and would do it again. $60 for food and an hour and a half of games - totally worth it.

  Experience was good. My only qualm is that I paid $80 for the 500 chips power card, and was not offered the “eat and play combo”. My lady and I went over to have some food when we were hungry, and noticed that for just a few dollars more we could have gotten some of that killer food. Instead, it was not offered to us, and we had to pay full price for the food. From a managerial standpoint, it seems odd that it is not standard practice to offer the deal to customers. I’m not complaining, but it would have been nice to know that was an option? I know how important these surveys are so I left 5 stars, but I believe the staff needs a bit more training in offering products and services to customers.

  Late nice spot to always come to with buddies or a good date night spot to play arcade games. Make sure to come on Wednesdays for half off prices because regular days it is pretty expensive to play the arcade games. One big downside is the restaurant/bar area; coming in, we didn’t feel welcomed or approached. After waiting almost 20 minutes for a table and then another 20 to order. It wasn’t busy but going around 10pm I can tell the staff were tired/annoyed.

  Omg this place is a must go to on Tuesdays. At 7 pm they have trivia and if you come in 1st, 2nd, OR 3rd place you get a Dave and Busters game card. It's way fun and its all free! This is what my boyfriend and I do for our date nights because since the trivia is free we can afford to just buy an appetizer and split a meal. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

  Waited 15mins to be served and 3 people were helped after we sat down. We was told to sit anywhere in the bar area. We picked a booth, which wasn't cleaned yet, and apparently didn't need to be. No one even asked us if we wanted water..anything. No one ever came over. This Was going to be my first time going here but I guess I will never know what is like due to this poor experience. We left.
