    Table service was very slow but the staff was very friendly. It was not very busy but they still seemed to be understaffed. It was clean and overall an enjoyable time but everything from our first drink orders to the check took 20-30 minutes longer than they should have from the time we requested them.

    This experience was laughable, it was so bad. We were there for a little over an hour before I grabbed another server just to ask for water. And when that waiter arrived, he brought us 6 when we were a table (and had requested) of 14. The server just never came back around and seemed to be new to planet earth as he instead of making a captain and coke, he brought a shot of captain and no diet coke. The front desk people weren't helpful, there was no toilet paper in the bathroom and it was about 100 degrees in the restaurant. Our food didn't come out as ordered nor was any of it good. It was just a mess of an experience and we'll never be back.

    We had an incredible birthday experience for my girlfriend at Dave & Buster's. The food and drinks were served promptly, and the staff thoughtfully provided plates and utensils for the cakes I brought. A huge thank you to the friendly and meticulous staff for making our evening truly special. Their structured approach to service ensured everything ran smoothly, contributing to a memorable night at D&B.

    It tookhkurs for us to get our food properly and drinks. We had 3 servers for our table and each clearly didn't communicate to the other. They lost our tabs and lost our food order several times. Thought this would be a good venue for my birthday... it turned out to be a trash birthday event.

    We had a party of 11 and Alex took fantastic care of us! Food was ready on time (even a little early which was definitely ok), drinks were plentiful, and he made sure we had everything we needed. The food was fresh and delicious. Really great experience and would recommend D&B for any fun occasion!

    Food is okay, good bar food. But we didn’t go for the food, went for entertainment. Had a great time drinking, watching sports and gaming. We would definitely go back,

    Very decent food with adequate pricing. Many play options but more staff to help customers is urgently needed. Especially for kids. Waiting service a bit slow.

    This was probably the worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. First we came in and were seated, we never received a menu and had to ask for them, we had 5 people, they brought us 2 menus so we asked another table for theirs. Then we waited 45 minutes for the waitress to come to our table and she asked us if we’re ready to order, not once were we asked if we wanted a DRINK so we had to tell her. We finally got our food and it was good but we couldn’t get our waitress back just so we could LEAVE let alone a refill or anything else we needed. Then we asked her about our cards for the arcade and she said we could get them through her so she added them to our bill and then they added the tip WITH the cards added. Overall we were at the table for 2 hours. Yes it was Saturday and busy but this was miserable and ridiculous. First and last time I’ll ever step foot in that place.
