    I took my granddaughter to Dave & Buster’s for her birthday, and Shannon and Cheron were incredible. They were patient and kind, helped fix her game machine, gave her a few free games for her patience, and even surprised her with free cotton candy while testing the machine. They truly went above and beyond to remedy the situation and made her birthday extra special. Dave & Buster’s is lucky to have Shannon and Cheron.

    The food is good. The service is ok. They automatically put a suggested tip on the bill. The suggested tip was 20% which is usually my minimum tip anyway. What I didn't like was how they give you the receipt to sign with the amount due, an area for a tip, and an area for total amount. The staff does not make you aware or give you an itemized receipt. You have to ask. Seems a bit like there is an ulterior motive. We went with our children aged 5 to 20. They all had a great time. You do pay for a great time here. Be ready to dish out some cash. An hour will cost you a minimum of $50 each child for game time.

    As someone who has come to Dave and busters for years, never have I ever felt like a cow being milked for every possible dollar of revenue. After $300 in dinner and $200 in game cards we were told that we could not be in the bar area if we were not buying food. I just wanted a place to have a drink when the kids were playing games. Honestly I have never felt like a wallet rather than a person who was having a good time on their birthday. If anyone from corporate is listening, know that your policies are not centered around a positive customer experience and it feels that way. The manager was apologetic but honestly the systemic issues with Dave and Busters are in the policies and lack of control at the local level to make guests seem welcome. I won’t be back. Know that I am one voice in many that have contributed to the experience that others feel.

    Food was terrible. Didn't get our drinks and saw MULTIPLE MICE in the restaurant. The games side of D&B is hard to mess up so that's great but DO NOT EAT HERE
