Dave & Buster’s

worst service wver i asked for someone to come over 3 times and we sat at a table for 20 minutes while a whole swarm of servers were just walking around passing us. not to mention alllll the tables in the whole game room were dirty. even managers saw us sitting there and didnt bother to greet us. drinks took forever too and it wasnt busy at all the bartenders didn’t care much they stood there for awhile. we will still go here just not try to eat. they need some structure in the work atmosphere.

4pm on a Friday afternoon and I got turned away for being 8 days under 21 I had no intention drinking and there was all of 4 people in the place even if I was 21 I would go to rivers downtown it’s not like they can put a wristband saying I’m 20 or anything.

If you are here to just play games, then its a great deal of fun, and is also a fantastic place to catch a sporting event.
If you are here to eat, maybe try somewhere else. I have tried eating here on several occasions and find that it is for the most part terrible. Nothing tastes like it is fresh at all. I would guess everything is delivered frozen and then either deep fried or heated in a microwave. I can’t think of any meal I’ve ever finished here either from being bland or just plain lousy. Even my 11 year old, who loves wings and chicken fingers (2 staples here) thinks the food is terrible and refuses to eat here, even though he loves to play the games.
My advice, eat somewhere else then head here to play.

I made the mistake of selecting this place to meet up with my family who were visiting from Florida. Waited at bar for 20 minutes before be able to order a drink even though there were only 3 other people at the bar. Once the bartender did decide to wait on me, he was very short «What will you have?» and proceeded to give me a a receipt for the amount due before I could order 6 more drinks for the rest of our party??? We eventually left that bar after no one returned to our group sitting at the bar for the following 25 minutes.
We then moved onto the restaurant where we waited for 45 minutes for our entrees to arrive. Food was pretty good.
Moved onto gaming area where approximately 1 out of 5 games were not operating properly. This place has really gone down hill in the past 3 – 4 years. We will NOT be going back!

I was sad to see of the bad reviews below because I love D&B. However, I was just there this weekend and has dinner then went to the midway. The food wasn’t bad but our service was overwhelmed so we didn’t really have a server, and there were a couple small errors with our order. The bathroom was a wreck, like always. The trash can is always full, floors filthy, and smells strongly of urine. Half of the games I played wouldn’t read my card on the first try.
Bartenders were slow & didn’t seem to care, except for the manager.
I’ll be back for sure but this place needs some serious staff updating.

This is a place I’d go to just for the games. The food was bad. I had the chicken sliders and there was two pieces of wood in the sandwich which I found in my mouth. Granted the manager did take off the price of the sliders but everyone’s fries were lukewarm. My sister got the chicken fingers and wow, there was zero flavor or seasoning on it. The bathrooms smelled like stale urine and the floors were very sticky. The waitress was nice but overall i wouldn’t dine here again.

Worst service I’ve ever had! we waited for over an hour for our food. After the waitress walked by 6 times without saying a word or refilling our drinks we got a manager who had her come by and apologize and give us a round but never said a word about our food. And told us her help never showed up. We waited another 30 mins for our food before we asked for the check for the 2 drinks we got. We left and nothing was even said about why we never got our food. No apologies nothing. While sitting there we noticed 2 other parties walked out as well. They didn’t even get their drinks.
I would recommend that if you go there never sit and eat. Drink play games fine. I will never order food there again.

The food was good but we Waited an hour for our drinks then 1.5 hours food then an hour for our bill. Won’t be back! Not busy at all so not sure what the problem was. I’d hate to be there when they are «busy».

The food here is awful. I came with a small group of people for dinner one night before heading out bar hopping at a few places at the Waterfront. We gave the server the benefit of the doubt because there were about 8 of us, which can be challenging. I think the long wait time to get the drinks and then the food was due to the bartender and kitchen, but the waitress really tried her best.
I only gave it 2 stars because I liked my mac and cheese. Everyone else at the table hated their food. They all had sandwiches or other dishes. The one girl resorted to eating only the toppings off her sandwich because the bread was too hard to bite through. The kitchen probably made her sandwich right away and left it under the heating lamps for 40 minutes while preparing the rest of our table’s food.
I was tempted to stop and play games for a couple minutes, but after my husband came out of the restroom he told me how about 5 other guys walked out of the restroom as well that had not washed their hands and immediately went over to start playing games. All I have to say is no thanks.

Had an awesome time here with my hubby the food was amazing but the games cost so much an the prizes where ok but all in all a good time I’ll be bring the kids with next time

I gave D&B 4 stars because our waiter was very geniune and nice! The place has definitely changed over the years, becoming a very pricey venue. The food was mediocre. The fries were cold and the sliders were subpar, almost like White Castles from the freezer section in most grocery stores. My buffalo wings were rather tough. As for the games, they were mostly the same, but included a lot of the newer ‘app’ style games like flappy bird. Skeeball and Free throw were still fun, along with the coin drop machines. But, wow, we went through $ 50 of games really fast. The gift section is full of fun tchotchkes and prizes if you pay enough to rack up the points! Nevertheless, it is still a great destination to celebrate any special occasion with family, friends or coworkers.

This wasn’t the cleanest place. Dirty paper towels all over the women’s bathroom. No changing covers on the changing tables to change your Babies. Very disappointed when I came here compared to the other two I’ve been too. Also they aren’t following corporate policy. Which ok, but when I asked about it to one of the managers on the way out, he said he didn’t honor the first responders discount like the other stores do. Which ok Is fine, but he had a very sore attitude towards them. Very disappointed in his attitude more then anything.

I have been to Dave and Busters multiple times and i feel its a 2 star place.
I can say the food quality is sub par. In my opinion the food prices are expensive for what it is and quality. They do offer a nice bar, but then again the prices in my opinion are a little higher. Service isn’t too bad, but could be better.
D&B is a great place for adults for sure, but the prices for tokes or «game play» is a little ridiculous. Some games charge 6.9 credits to place. Thats almost saying $ 1.50 a game and some of those games are addicting where I know most of us keep playing.
I also thing D&B isn’t the cleanest place either. The bathrooms near the arcade are always nasty in my opinion. Doesn’t seem like they keep up with it. To me, thats a big factor in rating restaurants.
All in all, D&B is an ok place to visit, but not a place i would frequently waste my money.

Wednesday’s are half off game night. Menu includes some meals that also provide ten dollar game cards. It’s loud and crazy but that’s what is to be expected. The kids love this place. It’s ok. Not my thing but I understand the fascination.

I’ve probably only been to 3 Dave & Buster’s in my life, but this is probably my favorite one. It’s a lot bigger and has more variety of games than the other 2 I’ve been to, though they pretty much have the same games. The prizes are also better here, and the ticket exchange rate for the prizes seemed a lot more fair too. Definitely take advantage of the half priced games on Wednesdays!!!
I don’t come for the food, since it’s very average. With all these good restaurants close by, why don’t just eat somewhere else and come for the games?

Can we get a maintenance man? And a janitor? And a manager? No? Ok…
I had a good time at Dave and Buster’s, but that was based mainly on the company I kept and not the venue. We went right when they opened for the day, with the intention of playing some pool. We located the pool tables in an area that looked closed off, so we went to the hostess stand to ask. She radioed for help, got none, and finally went in search of an answer our question. When she came back, she said she couldn’t find anyone, but a manager would be out to talk to us. We wait… and wait… and finally just give up and go off to play in the arcade area.
All but one of the card purchase machines were rebooting, and the one we could use didn’t work. It takes forever and finally gives up and directs us to a non-​existent ticketing attendant. So we again go off in search of someone to help. We flagged down a server, who issued us a card ($ 56 for 375 tokens) and served us a few cocktails (average prices, though my rum and coke was teeny).
And we are off to play some games. About every third game we tried was broken in some way. Either the token swipe didn’t work or the game itself was messed up. It also wasn’t the cleanest place I’ve ever seen. They have tables around the place to set your drinks on, but most of them didn’t look as though they’d been wiped from the day before (which of course makes we wonder when they last cleaned all the games that germy little kids touch all day).
Overall, they appeared completely unprepared for opening (computers booting, employees not ready to work, soda gun at the bar not assembled, etc.) and not well maintained or managed at all. The broken games were sort of comical after a while, but definitely not in a good way. If you are really looking to do this type of activity, I’d try a different location for sure.

4 Stars for the fun factory, games, and all around experience, but 2 stars for the disgusting food and horrible service!
I was SO excited to come here for my boyfriends birthday. Its always fun to play games, win tickets, and have fun with friends/​family. We decided to eat here before we played. I keep seeing commercials for their new menu, so hey it couldn’t be bad right? Wrong! Only thing that was really good was the Corona-​rita — but that’s hard to mess up.
First off, service was horrible. I didn’t feel like any of the areas were that packed to make the service so slow, but apparently I was wrong. It took about 15 minutes, minimum, to get our first drinks. At least an hour for our food. I have boneless buffalo wings, which are hard to screw up, so mine weren’t bad but they weren’t the best. My boyfriend had their Philly Cheesesteak and he couldn’t finish it. Was SO salty and just not good. For the price of everything, it was not worth it all. Better off going somewhere else in the Waterfront for food and then coming here to play. You’ll save $$, time, and frustration!
I guess they are also remodeling their price area so for now there is a make-​shift area to cash in your tickets. Everything was pretty picked over, which kinda sucked. Overall it was still fun, and I am sure I will be back to play some more games!

Chilling with Kimberly Vasil, Mikey & Big Bob for the 96.1 Kiss FM Listener Appreciation Party. Kiss really knows how to throw a bash– $ 10 power cards, free t-​shirts, megaphones & basketballs, appetizers & n/​a beverages… Apps are flowing & delicious, everybody is happy… Nice Bash Kiss FM!!!

This is a really fun way to spend an afternoon. After several visits here, I’ve found a couple games that are easy to win and score you lots of tickets, and others that are just a blast to play. We did really awesome last time we were here, and their prize room is full of some pretty neat stuff.
Their food is not too bad. I’ve only ever eaten here once, and it wasn’t that memorable, but I didn’t hate it. I did like that they have a bar, and they had my favorite beer on tap, that was nice.
Like pretty much any arcade I’ve ever been to, there are things that are a rip off, and occasionally something won’t work properly. That really irritates some people but I figure no arcade is perfect. At least none that I’ve ever been to. The most irritating thing for me is that some of the games have a call button on them that signals an employee to come assist you, and I kept hitting the button with my leg or something, so every once in awhile someone would randomly appear at my side and ask if I needed help, and I would be really confused. haha.
We went here with my husband’s family on Thanksgiving, and we had a total blast. The whole place was pretty empty, and I felt really bad for the employees that had to work that day, but it was nice for us!

I’ll have a biased opinion of any place like this. What could be wrong with playing old and new school games, drinking, and eating all at the same place? The one thing I can think of is the price. On the surface, this is a pretty expensive place; however, they give a bunch of good deals depending on the time you go, whether or not you «donate» money to the Make-​a-​Wish Foundation, and if you’re lucky when you take a spin on the wheel of prizes! But honestly, know what the deals are before you go to make sure to get the best price available.
In regards to the games, there’s a plethora for your enjoyment. Although it is nice to play games that spit out tickets, the last couple of times I’ve gone I’ve gotten 2 hours of arcade games for a very cheap price (Mario Kart, anyone?!). Either way, it’s a really fun place that you’ll most certainly have a good time at.
