★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1INCREDIBLE food! The food service manager, Kevin, was so friendly, too. We played a few games afterwards and enjoyed the feeling of being a kid again.
October 19 · ShelbyLynn HenryOn July 4th, my husband and I went out to eat and had a wonderful time. We sat at the bar, and Sharon attended to us right away. The service was excellent, and the food was fresh, hot, and delicious. After our meal, we headed to the arcade and had a great time playing various games. I will definitely return!
July 15 · Miriam E. Sang⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I’ve been to Dave & Buster’s several times and always have such a great time, but tonight really stood out. As soon as we walked in, the manager, Kevin, instantly welcomed us, explained that music bingo was going on, and even gave us cards so we could join in. He was so friendly, approachable, and easy to talk to…it set the tone for the whole night. Our waitress, Sophie, was absolutely phenomenal as well..attentive, kind, and made sure everything was perfect. Huge thanks to both of them for making an already fun place even better. (I even won a bingo prize lol)
September 15 · Noreen SchmidtWent recently to Dave and Busters and had a nice time! We ordered nachos, wings and fries, and a kids meal of chicken tenders and fries—which we all enjoyed. The service was great. They were even hosting a Trivia night, which we didn’t participate in but looked fun and had a good turn out. The games were fun too. After not going to a Dave and busters for years, I’ll def be back. Note— nachos were ordered minus the corn and sour cream.
October 12 · Lexy DThe kids love this place. The arcade is big enough and has so many rides and games. The food served is very good. Our server recognized us when we visited for the second time and offered us a sweet treat. Nice place in the surroundings to visit for family.
