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!
  • 1/2 Price Wednesdays

Ratings_icons Dave & Buster's - No Scam ...Only Fun

Calvin F.

First off anybody saying this place is a scam is like saying a supermarket is a scam ...anyway you look at something it can be considered a scam (even our own government). And second off people are comparing this place to Las Vegas? ...quite unfair, atleast in Vegas prostitution is legal. How about comparing it to a modern version of Chucky Cheese's ...even the games are exactly the same. O but nobody dares to slam a cartoon mouse saying that a cartoon mouse encourages your children to become gambling addicts in the near future. Look these ticket machines and games have existed way before arcades we're even popular ...and if you don't teach your children about gambling now, then what are they going to do the first time they step into a casino and they just turned 18. Seriously trash talk a corporation that deserves it like Starbucks or McDonalds. For this place is actually quite fun and great place to spend the afternoon or evening, with kids or without kids. True sometimes the place is just crawling with kids ...how about going after 10, when they don't even allow children in (with adults or without) And to assume there running a scam just because they have two people scanning your tickets proves patience isen't really a virtue for you ...how about an environment without children, that might soothe your needs. Get drunk, Play games, Hitting on the girl that brings you half-price drinks, and Eating all in one. God Bless This Mess

No, my expectations weren't met this time as far as good customer service goes. It wasn't the worst but definitely not the best. Our waitress looked unhappy which made it unpleasant for us. She took a long time to get to our table and take our order. She brought my drink and it had a bug in it "I got no apology" so of course I ask for a new one which seemed to be a burden for her. She came back with something different. Our food got there before our silverware. After we had finished eating no one came to clear our our plates the the whole 1 hour that we were there talking. I truly understand people having bad days but maybe a class in customer service would help her.

Very fun place, a bit of a big kid's arcade. Good place to eat. I had the chicken tenders which were rather tasty. Good place to have a company night.

Ratings_icons Fun place to go, especially during happy hour

maly S. | insider Insider | Rank: 15,315

This has now become my "peach pitt". Happy hour is great here, half price drinks! The food here is good too! The doormen are very friendly, I love them. I love their basketball games. I just wish we didn't have to pay $3 to get in on weeknights (although they do give you a game card worth $3)

PROS: Happy Hour! Half price drinks, $1 off beer
CONS: no happy hour on food =( $3 to get in on weeknights.

This is the perfect place to go for a date. They have a bar, an arcade and a restaurant all in one building. You can put your name in for the restaurant grab a drink and play some games while you wait. It's a lot of fun and gives you something to do if you run out of things to talk about.

Dave and Busters is a very cool recreational hang-out for people of all ages. My friends and I really love going for an evening of shuffleboard (yes, shuffleboard) and a few drinks. The pool and shuffleboard tables are in fantastic shape- they really take care of them! There are quite a few video games of all types; everyone finds something they enjoy. The waiters are pretty speedy at bringing your drinks to the tables. The pool and shuffleboard are affordable, especially if you go during non-peakhours. Unfortunately, there can be quite a wait for a table and you need a valid ID to reserve a table. The food is rather typical "upscale bar food" (mostly burgers and sandwiches) but what they do have is satisfying and tasty. Really hip environment, its an ideal hang out if you are looking for a club alternative.

This place is totally awesome. Dave & Busters has a resstaurant, bar, pool tables, and tons of video games for the adults. This place is 21 and older but you can bring people under 21 if they are accompanied with an adult what I totally like about this place is that it is like a casino in vegas. You can play games and get tickets and at the end of the nite you can cash in for prizes. I love all their games they have and the variety of different things you can do.
This place is perfect for any nite ofthe week and I would recommend this to anyone

Ratings_icons Great Place for Fun, Food and Drinks

Review Master

In response to the person who said Dave & Buster's is a scam, that's just dumb.

You need to remember that there are only a couple of guys working in the gaming section, so they may not be able to help right away. Think about the ratio between workers to customers.

The only bad thing about this place is that their prizes are lame. It could have something to do with the bad economy though.

Pros: All around great place to hang out

Cons: Game prizes are sucking lately.

Ratings_icons I love this place

thatguy6

Let me start with one thing that I love about this place: HAPPY HOUR, they have the best happy and alot to selected from. The service is excellent and there are tons of games to play with. The pool tables are kind of pricy. One thing i recommend not doing is taking children around the time of happy hour because drunk people and kids do not mix. Anf the food is great.

Pros: Happy Hour, foods, drinks and games.

Cons: the bouncers are mean :(

Ratings_icons Scam City

pudgii

The Dave's burger I ate was pretty good. The problem is that they are running a scam to get your money. They only have 1 to 2 ticket redeemers and it took over 30 minutes to get some dinky prize. I'm sure this is how the place greatly increases it's profits by discouraging people to redeem their winnings. Oh yeah, it's a great place for adults. NOT, place is full of kids of all ages. They play all the same games and even those you find in Reno and Las Vegas. Great way to teach kids to gamble and be ripped off. Wouldn't go back to this place. Great racket for the owners. Door man was also very hostile when I mentioned as we were leaving that the place was running racket. Can't believe it hasn't been checked into by the City attorney. Not a place I would suggest going to unless you understand the racket taking place here.

Pros: Lots of things to do

Cons: Games are a scam

Ratings_icons Best Happy Hour

mr_vegas

D&B is the place to drink after work. If you go during one of their two happy hours, you can get really smashed for very little. It is also a great place to get hammered with friends. The drink menu here is really big so everyone can find something that they will enjoy to drink.

Pros: Happy Hour, Ambiance, Drink Selection

Posted 10/30/06

Ratings_icons A great time!

keishaca

I always have a great time and D&B. It's great for groups. It's a place where adults can go unwind and act like a kid while sipping on martinis.

Pros: Good for groups, Great drinks, Fun games

Cons: Can get pricey

Ratings_icons GAMES, FOOD, DRINKS & POOL all in 1!!

budd_e_bev

If you haven't been here at least once, you've got to go! The food is pretty good, nothing extravagant, but appetizing. They dessert is good as well. They've got a few pool tables, a bar to sit at and enjoy games (football, baseball, boxing, etc) the restaurant section where you can eat, and also the arcade section where you can play TONS of different games and win prizes. You'll need to get a game card though to play. I believe it was $1.00 for 3 credits, $5.00 for 21 credits, and so on. Staff was friendly as well! It's fun & games whether you're out with friends or family.

Pros: lots to do

Cons: can be pricey
