    I took my younger brother and sister to this restaurant for dinner and arcade. I was able to book a table on the website very easily, and when I arrived, my table was already cleaned. After I was seated, I waited about 10 minutes before a manager informed me that our waitress had been assigned to a party that kept adding to their group. After another 5 minutes, a waiter came to take our drinks. We ordered our drinks, food, and appetizers simultaneously. Our food arrived about 30 to 45 minutes later, all at once. We ordered the mozzarella sticks and garlic parm boneless wings. The mozzarella sticks were delicious, but the wings were not as good. They tasted like they had been sitting out for a while.

    Great food and great time. The machines kept cheating us out of coins though. We would swipe out cards and think it just didn't take it cause the game/machine wasn't working, then after quiet a few times of doing that at different machines, I realized that it was taking the coins off but not giving us a turn at the game. Once I figured it out after 5 times of trying a game and realizing it, I informed a worker and they credited me 3 games. It was a great time and great experience, but watch out for them machines.

    We celebrated a birthday at Dave and Busters and the service, food, and atmosphere were excellent. Ms. Nicole is the best server ever!

    Good service. Really bad food. But you go for the games, right? Don't go for the food... very limited, salty, greasy etc.

    We had planned ahead for our Granddaughters birthday. We tried to reserve a table y calling Daves and Busters. They told us e had to use OPEN TABLE. We did. We even printed our our reservation. However, when we arrived, Daves and Busters had no reservation for us and there was a 30 minute waiting time. We showed them the confirmed printout. We were told that it happens a lot that customers make a reservation on OPEN TABLE but it never reaches them. We will NEVER USE OPEN TABLE AGAIN. We will only eat at places that we can call and make a reservation. BAD EXPERIENCE

    Reserved my table 1 week ahead. Did not have to wait. Food was great! Waiter was pleasant but needed him to be more attentive. Lots of fun games. Extremely loud, couldn't hear some of the games. Overall, a lot of fun.
