Loved every moment here. From playing arcade to having meals- this is a top-notch party place! I appreciate how the staffs at the front desk are helpful and informative and I can tell the people who work behind the bar are serving professionally during both normal and busy times. My friends and I have gotten a few prizes there and the fun just never ends. However, when it gets crowded, you're given lesser arcade options and sometimes you need to wait until people are finished. I've tried their food only once so far and I wasn't disappointed. Their nachos and drinks we ordered were very appealing and the quality was beyond good. Highly recommended for group hangouts!

The waiting staff was great and the manager was really helpful. It's pretty clean, but the changing tables in the bathrooms need attention as one is completely unusable and the other is close. But otherwise, a nice comfy spot for a fun evening. Thank you!

This is a good spot. It's a really nice space and it's spread out. There is a good mix of games so kids of all ages can have a good time. Also all the games were new and functioning when we were there. I like how it's spread out a bit. The food is good for where you are. The happy hour is excellent. Also bathrooms are very clean and we'll kept.

Dave & Busters was awesome, this was my first time and the staff was incredibly patient. The bar charges 3 for a Coke, and 15 for a Long Island. While both drinks were good, this is pricey considering the area. However, 100 for game tokens will last 2-3 people around 3-4hours which is great because this location offers a giant selection of games. Over the location was super clean, including the shared VR equipment. With all of its offerings, I would recommend Dave and Busters for families and adults.

Clean place. All of the games worked the food was very good. I definitely recommend the ribeye. Mashed potatoes were top notch. Great family place.

I’ve never had any problems when visiting here. Food has always been plentiful and the portions are big compared to other restaurants I’ve been to. They have good promotions for their arcade too. There are a good variety of games to keep everyone interested.

I recently visited Dave & Buster’s and had a fun time overall! My favorite part was playing Dance Dance Revolution (DDR) — it brought back so many great memories and even doubled as a mini workout. I also enjoyed shooting hoops and staying active while having fun. The games mostly range between 7.5 to 16 credits, so it’s easy to spend around 40 per person if you want to try a variety. I noticed some newer VR games, which were interesting, but the screens were a bit small and not super comfortable for people with glasses. The venue was decently clean, and while I didn’t find much worth redeeming with the points I earned, kids might enjoy the prize selection more. There’s a bar and food area on the right side, but the staff seemed overworked and a bit slow — likely due to being short-staffed. Still, they were doing their best and remained polite. Helpful tip: At one point, we lost a phone, but thankfully someone turned it in to the manager and we were able to retrieve it. Big shoutout to whoever returned it! I’d recommend bringing a small crossbody or belt bag so you don’t have to constantly take your bag off while playing. Overall, I had a great time — especially enjoying the mix of nostalgia, activity, and games. I’d definitely come back for another casual outing!
