Editorial Review for Dave & Buster's – by Citysearch Staff

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.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I was, to say the very least, disappointed. The rude host told us it would be 45 minutes for a table, which was fine. We went to the bar and were ignored for 5 to 10 minutes by the bartenders, who were not busy. After over an hour and a half and talking to the hosts two times and being told it was OUR fault, we were finally given a table. Our server was very nice, which was a pleasant surprise. Unfortunately, she somehow forgot to put our order in and we received it, complementary, over an hour later. After spending roughly 4 dreadful hours there, we were too appalled by the terrible customer service to enjoy the game room, which was overrun by bratty kids anyway. I wouldn't recommend this place to my greatest enemy.

Pros: enticing commercials.. that's about it

Cons: rudest customer service I've ever encountered

This place can be fun, but be prepared to be swarmed by kids unless you're there late at night. Also, drinks can be frightfully expensive -- beer starting at $5 and $6 a pint. Meals are OK, with all the usual sports bar/pub items.

Editor's Review

Super-sized party multiplex for casual diners and serious drinkers who like a joystick with their drumsticks and swizzle sticks.  See the full editorial review.
