In Short
This massive entertainment complex lures customers in with its arcade, then keeps them there by way of a spacious eatery serving pizza, pasta, burgers and finger food. Classic games like billiards, skeeball and shuffleboard are balanced by electronic counterpoints such as Ms. Pac-Man, Centipede and virtual-reality simulators that re-create an 18-wheeler ride or a Star Trek voyage. Of the two full bars, one comes with a 20-screen videodome designed for armchair quarterbacks.

Key Points

  • Eat & Play Combo ? Only $15.99
  • 2 Happy Hours Sunday-Thursday!
  • 200+ Interactive & Video Games.

For what it is...

by Kimi d. | insider Insider | Rank: 13,483

If you want to play video games, this is the place. If you want a quiet, cozy ambience for an intimate dinner or a place to chat with your friends and linger over your meal, go somewhere else. The food is fried and fine - nothing spectacular - but the oh, the noise, noise, noise!! Surrounded by hundreds of video games, you'll yell at the person next to you to be heard. To me, it's a pointless place to eat. Better to go have sushi down the hall at the Great Mall and then go to D&B's for some fun game time. You'll save your ears and eat better, too.

D & B, Good food, great fun

by Debbie M.

I love this establishment and frequent it almost weekly. We have never actually sat down and ate a meal there but have ordered take out a few times and the food is excellent, especially their ribs. The biggest attraction for us the arcade games, specifally the ones that you play for tickets, which can then be redeemed at their store for prizes big and small. We've used our tickets to purchase portable DVD player, cam corder, Sharper Image gift cert., D&B Bucks, toys, appliances, you name it. I highly recommend this place but keep in mind anyone under 21 must be accompanied by an adult over 25.

PROS: Fun, food, bar, sports TV
CONS: A little crowded on Friday and Saturday nights

Potato Skins!

by B O. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 11,247

This is a great place to hang out during the week, or during the weekend. It's a great place to come with co-workers or with your family. The food is GREAT, the staff in the restaurant is excellent and the drinks are GREAT! It has a fun atmosphere and excellent buffalo wings. There are a lot of games ranging in ages mostly geared towards adults but that is what is appealing about this place. A chuck e. cheese for adults is what i like to call it.

d&b

by Vivian L. | insider_guru Insider Guru | Rank: 898

Dave and Busters is a cool place to hang out after a long day at work or just when you are at the mall. You have to be 18 years old or older to get in though, and 1 adult can only bring in a maximun of 2 kids. This place offers a bunch of games that you can get points ( on a card) and then trade them in for prizes. The food is a bit on the expensive side though, and the lighting isn't too good. Overall I like D&B and would recommend going here for fun.

Good food and fun arcades

by M. S. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 3,032

Dave & Busters is a great combination of Restaurant and arcade games. The restaurant is great. The food is great and the prices are reasonable. They have a huge variety of arcade games. They also have a bar in the arcade are and a separate are with pool tables. It can get extremely crowded here at weekends. Dave & Busters is located at the Great Mall and there is plenty of parking there.

I love this place!

by Stephanie G. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 6,426

This is one of my favorite restaurants--I love the food, it's high quality for a reasonable price. They're also having a special right now, where certain meals (all priced under 14 dollars) come with a $10 game card, and it's totally worth it if you like video games and good food!

The high points of this place, unfortunately, are the quality of food and the arcade. I've never been impressed with the servers. They're nice to chat with, and are quick to initially take your order, but that's about the best I can say for them. After you recieve your food, you won't see them for awhile, and it's a pain to get refills or even your check!

PROS: Arcade, great food
CONS: Where the heck are the servers?

Poor Management

by binmic99

Please do not eat at Dave & Busters in Milpitas. They have a rude and incompetent manager named SEAN HIGGINS. I was having billing issues because the waitress Desiree charged my VISA card incorrectly. I spoke to the manager Sean Higgins to void the transaction and re-run it again and I'll pay a different payment method but he said he can't override the system. He even said that's how their system works. This is total BS! He's just being lazy to do the work from scratch! The bottom line is I found out that he was totally lying. I spoke to a diffent manager on that same night and he was able to void the transaction for me.

Oh Heck Ya! Great for Billiards!

by ehatchell

I had a barbeque chicken plate, very good. This is a pretty nice place to hang out, pretty good pool tables, snooker, etc. Felt in good shape, balls are better than average, and full size tables. Snooker and other speciality tables can be found here, and this is EXCEPTIONAL. Certainly better than 99.9% of pool halls -- this is from a player that is a solid 8 rated and has played in most major ciities. The aracade games were ok, I prefer GameWorks, but the indoor golf simulator is particularly sweet. Great place to drink and have fun.

Pros: Billiards, Billiards, Food

Cons: Ok Gaming Room

Fun place, but don't eat here !

by slinky9

D&B is the Chuck E. Cheese's for adults. The arcade is fabulous, I love the pool tables, shuffleboard and bar. But don't eat here if you want to save your arteries. All their food is greasy or fried. Go to the Great Mall food court instead.

Pros: FUN place, Great arcade

Cons: Nasty food, Long waits for tables
