I had a great time at Dave & Buster's Daly City watching the 49ers. The atmosphere was energetic, the game was easy to follow on the big screens and it was the perfect place to enjoy wings and drinks with my friends. Manager Jennifer was especially helpful and recommended the perfect cocktail based on what I liked. The ranch water cocktail is on point.Her friendly service made the experience even better. Her customer service was outstanding and I'll definitely be back! read more

Came to watch some Sunday football. The food and drinks were excellent. Shannon was our server and she gave us great customer service, ensuring we had everything we needed. We would come back again! read more

Great place to watch football on a Sunday. Food is good, there are a lot of TVs and the service was good. Our server, Shannon, rocked it!

This review is for fresh food and fast service! Dave and Busters is Dave and Busters. We attend for games, to watch sports games, good drinks and decent food. Connie was on top of all the orders, drinks, picking up the table, and is overall very personable and quick on the serving, clearing plates, making sure you are good, the orders are correct. She is an EXCELLENT SERVER! I asked to speak to her manager ONLY for the purpose of letting him know how awesome she was! Usually I'm asked if everything is ok before they get the manager. Without blinking an eye she said absolutely, turned to get her manager and brought him back. Edgar's Morales quickly found our table, introduced himself, and asked how he could help us. I let him know Connie was an excellent server. He thanked us for letting him know, handed us his business card and agreed she was a good server even though she was newer to this location. We greatly appreciated all of the team work, good drinks and CRISPY fried fish!! read more

No one answers their phone so I stopped in to inquire when is their half-priced game days. Oh, National Video Games Day exists that day meaning half off on a Saturday! I returned to play my current favorite coin game. I tried another coin game. Good to have discounted fun during my visit to the area. read more

I love coming on weeknights, especially late nights when it is NOT crowded at all. For example Monday 9-11pm. Many weekday promotions like Monday was the eat and play deal, buy $25 min token package and eat (select dishes) for $5.99 per token package. Smash burger and fries was fantastic. Lemon pepper chicken wings, so good and crispy! However, when the bill came, the eat & play discount was not applied. I told the server, who then went to correct it. Dining takes opentable reservations. At that hour No one was staffed at front or the restaurant podium late night, so the opentable is not marked as you arrived anyway. it can be confusing how to get a seat or where to sit. Just sit yourself down then and hope a server spots you. Many tables were not cleaned after groups left. They're short staffed. Service was kind. Also cocktail specials like where else can you get drinks for less than $10?! Awesome The music is lively and fun but overly loud that it is hard to chat. Reminds me of back then going to the club. All you're saying is "what?" To each other private party rooms available with catering read more

Lots of arcades and games. Solid menu for food and beverages. Most staff are very courteous and pleasant, but there's a few who really don't seem to want to be there. Biggest downfall is the high cost per game for arcades. Some are extremely expensive with little ticket reward opportunity. Plus though there a good array of available prizes, the amount of tickets needed to purchase prizes is definitely inflated quite a bit. Overall, D&Bs is a good place to have an event like a birthday (and you can rent an activity room) or just a day out for the family. read more

It's a bar. With games. So expectations weren't high. The kids had a great time and that's what matters. The burgers were good. The cherry icees were a hit. Food came out fast. Would have been nice if the server could have pointed out the kids portions part of the menu before we ordered. It was a Tuesday afternoon and not busy whatsoever, so our server's demeanor could have been nicer. Bartenders were chill. Beer was cold. The games were fun for adults and the kids. We all had a blast. Great place to beat the summer heat, keep the kids entertained. We'll be back! read more

Went here with a friend who had never been to D&B before and it was a great time. Parking was a bit tight since we coincidentally went during MMA fight night, it was definitely packed. We sat in the bar area and ordered some drinks and wings. Our waitress was extremely busy but she never forgot about us. She was very sweet and attentive. I unfortunately forgot her name but hope she is recognized for her hard work. After eating we decided to play some games which was a great time but the only issue was experiencing games being unavailable due to a reset I assume. When I asked a staff worker they said it would be turned back on soon but did take quite some time. After the second outage we headed back to the bar for a drink. The bartenders were still busy but they were very attentive. This location is nice for a good time with family and friends or an afternoon drink. read more

You can't expect much from this place but the basics let me down. The service was extremely slow, the food server kept bringing food to the wrong tables and when you asked for sauce, they had to go and tell your server to get it for you which is super inefficient. The happy hour isn't very clear. My beer definitely tasted off. It was a Blue Moon but very sour...and it wasn't just mine that tasty funky, definitely the draft. The burger bun was stale and so were the fries. The actual burger was not horrible but nothing amazing. read more

Stopped by last night to grab take out and have a drink. Place seemed cleaner than it usually has been and food has improved. Happy Hour has a lot of offers and Stella Artois was there giving away free beers and glasses. Nice little touch. There was also a trivia game about to begin on Tuesdays. Bar tenders were pleasant. read more

My husband and I recently visited Dave & Buster's, and we were pleasantly surprised! We both love arcade games, so finding this place so close to our place was a big plus. They have a nice variety of games, and since we're both competitive, it was so much fun to play, earn tickets, and feel that one day we can take something from their "store". The only downside, and it's partly our mistake, is that we didn't realize you can link your food and drink purchases to your Dave & Buster's Rewards account to earn extra credits. We found out about it later. We also plan to buy a Power Card Pass next time since it saves money if you stay for a while. The food and drinks are on the pricey side though. We ordered two cocktails for $36, and honestly, we didn't like them. That part was disappointing. We haven't tried the food yet, but I've read after our visit that members (Silver, Gold, or Platinum) get 10-30% off, which is nice. I also love that they have Trivia Tuesdays, I've never tried quiz games here in the U.S., and it sounds so fun! Wednesdays offer 50% off games, which is awesome, although it's a bit tricky since it's during the workweek. Still, it's smart marketing and a great incentive to come back. Overall, despite the drink issue, I'm giving this place 5 stars because of the atmosphere, the variety of games, and how much fun we had. We'll definitely be back soon, especially to check out those Tuesday quizzes! P.S. If you think that some machines took your tickets but you didn't play them, don't hesitate to ask a worker, they will reimburse you. read more

Sydney was such a wonderful host for my son's birthday at Dave & Buster's. She went above and beyond to make sure both I and all of our guests felt taken care of. Everything ran so smoothly--she was always attentive, on top of every detail, and made sure no one was left waiting for anything. She made all the kids and parents feel welcome and created such a fun, stress-free experience for everyone. Sydney is incredibly professional, consistent, and truly exceptional at what she does. Thank you for making my son's birthday celebration so fun and memorable--we truly appreciate you! read more

The food is terrible. The wings are dry, the apple salad with vinaigrette tasted like straight out of a bottle (tasteless). I asked my server to change the channel in one of their tv to play the World Cup game and they refused. Anyway, they should improve their food menu and be more friendly with customers. read more

Took nephew here to celebrate his birthday. Arrived at around 6pm and we were seated quickly. Dinner first and then games. Usually go just to take the kids to play and don't usually stay for meals there. Surprisingly, the food was good. Nephew (9) said he wasn't hungry and only wanted fries. My suspicion - he wanted to eat fast so he could play. Hubs ordered the ribeye - decent ribeye portion and flavorful. I ordered the steak bowl which came with cauliflower, arugula, peppers and onion, tomatoes, hard boiled egg and guacamole. Everything was seasoned well - just wished there was more steak. Server checked on us often and was attentive. Good to know that the food is decent - would definitely consider returning for a meal next time kids want to play. read more

This place is amazing! I've been coming here for few years now. Mostly recently yesterday. Perfect hangout place to chill and enjoy the company of your favorite people. The employees here work very hard and are always friendly and helpful, considering the high stress environment they are in most of the time. They have a very impressive number of games to play for kids and adults. FYI, They have someone taking pictures for you, THEY ARE NOT FREE! Pictures cost $20 each and they give you a discount if you buy more than one. We ended up paying $90 for five pictures + tips. read more

Straight robbery. You would think I was talking about the game cards, nope it's the food and service! My total bill was $26. I did the Wednesday deal with a $60 card and $4.99 food. But because we had a party of 7, tip was automatic so they tipped it off of the regular total and made my tip $14! My tip was almost as much as my bill! We did the math and she definitely manipulated the bill to make her tip higher. To top it off, the service was horrible, and obviously because our server already knew she would get an automatic tip. Our food was all wrong and we never got refills or checked in on. It took us over 45 min just to get the check and a box. Ridiculous. Dave and busters, do better. The place was empty so there's no excuse! read more

Came on a Sunday football game day to cheer on the 49ers! We also played some arcade games--they have quite a few classics and some of the newer games as well, like this cool UFC one where you punch/kick at this lit-up bag. It was definitely more on the packed side, presumably because all the dads brought their kids to be occupied at the arcade while they watched football lol I loved the energy at the restaurant/bar area--they run deals like $10 wings. We just had some small bites to eat and shared a side salad (dressing was a bit overkill, but a good portion) and iced tea. Will be back to watch more football games!! read more

Eight year old birthday party...kids loved it of course which is all that really matters. Having the pass card for hours was amazing for the kids. They were very excited and it was fun to see them all so happy. However, from an adult point of view...omg...the millions of tickets got the kids all kinds of cheap junk and sugary candies. Pathetic. Luckily the kids don't know any better and again...they loved it. Now the food...OMG...terrible. Doughy, horrible pizza and cold french fries. I have had better pizza from a box from the freezer section in a super market. And that is disgusting also. We (4 adults) purchased a few bottles of wine from the bar...cheap table wine...but a better way to go if spending hours at a kids bday party! Kids would rate this 5 stars...I struggle to give 3. read more

Our server Connie was amazing! Very quick when asking for refills and very frequent check ins for how we were doing!

We came in to watch NFL today and were able to get seated at Shannon's table of 4 in 5 minutes! Shannon was very attentive and took our order quickly and got our food out as fast as the kitchen would make it! We had 5 different flavors of wings and an order of fried pickles and a Philly cheesesteak. Everything was great came out hot. She checked on us and took very good care of our table! read more

Came for a children's birthday party on a Sunday and left with a splitting headache and ringing ears. During commercials they would cut the audio to allow a dj to play music at reasonable volumes. When the football came back on the volume was DEAFENING. I saw several tables request the volume be turned down. The volume was not only loud but the audio quality was terrible. So every whistle from the game was like nails on a chalkboard. read more

This is a fun place to hang out and play games with friends. The atmosphere is lively and everything feels well maintained. It's relatively clean for an arcade-style spot, which is always a plus. The game cards are easy to use and reload, which makes jumping between games smooth and hassle-free. The drinks are pretty good too. Can't speak on the food since we didn't try it, but overall it's a solid spot for a casual night out. read more

Edgard is truly one of the reasons we keep coming back! As a manager, he has always gone above and beyond to make sure we're taken care of. Over the years, he has consistently made every visit a great experience with his kindness, professionalism, and positive attitude. One thing that really stands out is how happy the team is whenever they see him. It's clear he leads by example and has built a great relationship with both his coworkers and guests. Thank you, Edgard, for always taking such great care of us. We always look forward to seeing you, and we're excited to keep coming back! P.S. It was my parents' first time at D&B, and thanks to the amazing experience, they already want to come back again! read more

I know why people hate this place, I know the food isn't the best but you can watch sports games there, their service isn't great because they're kinda slow at taking orders and getting you to your table but they still will seat you after like 1-2ish minutes, finally the ambiance which is good, it has good vibes in the restaurant and in the arcade " which I haven't talked about yet", but now I am, so why I gave Dave and Busters a five stars is because the arcade, it has very good games and prizes and hanging out with friends or family really make it fun, so five stars read more

Went with group of 8. The service was attentive and quick, even quick free soda refills. They have a lot of promotions, they had a trivia contest with game card prizes (we won 2). As the restaurant is in the mall, parking is not a problem and the restaurant is enormous, so on a week day there is a LOT of extra seats. The food was reasonably priced and good. The really big games are fun, but the unlimited play games are the non-ticket less exciting games read more

Review #896 Posted on 6.30.25 We came to DNB's on Saturday the 28th with the Wifey hosting a girls wine night. I decided to take the kids to the City for some fun, and we go to the DNB's in Modesto near where we live. Dave N Buster's is always a good time, you're better off splurging if possible on a higher priced player card for the games if you can swing as you get way more for your buck. This place is geared towards kids & adults which is smart, the kiddie places adults don't enjoy as much, DNB's has a restaurant, bar, places to watch sporting events, host birthday parties, and tons of options for video games. If you try and build your tickets though, make sure it's to have some fun while doing it, typically the money you're spending on the player cards to get a certain prize you can just buy the prize on the internet for probably 5-10 time cheaper. This place is located at the Serramonte shopping center/mall area. The place was pretty busy as there was 2 fights on this night, a UFC PPV, & Jake Paul boxing match. There's plenty of places to sit, & TVs too. Their video games seemed pretty similar to their other locations. Lots of games to try and win tickets, & others that are just for competition. I'd comeback to this location for sure. read more

My kid and I came in after visiting the mall for some nachos and drinks. I had the Jack Daniel's Sour Cherry Slushy high was dangerously delicious since you couldn't detect too much of the whiskey. My daughter had the strawberry lemonade which she only drank half of. The chicken fajita nachos were lackluster because there was hardly any chicken. Despite asking for no jalapeños we got them anyway. That part is an honest mistake and we simply picked them out. The service was inattentive and seemed a bit aloof. The best part of the service was the young man who brought us our food. He was really friendly and had a great energy. Overall there wasn't anything wrong with the feel of the place but the service was lacking this time. Maybe it'll be better next time? read more

I notice this place is weird sometimes. They don't come to you in the happy hour situation they tend keep looking at as if your going to ask for them to come. When they the servers and I don't get it. So we never got served today and the usually waiter we would get they were both off because they attentive. But I'm noticing certain days the service is blah . read more

I have been coming to this location for years and have never had an issue with staff or service, until recently. My family and I came here on 08/28/26 at 6pm, we sat down and waited for a server, his name was Jhovani or Qhovani, not sure of the spelling, however, he served the family in the booth in front of us, behind us and the family sitting directly across from us and never offered us anything. Hayley, the server who ended up helping us, and was very kind, asked him had he taken our order, he whispered something to her, afterwards she came to our table to assist us. The server's behavior was very disrespectful towards my family and I, it disheartens me to be treated this way, hoping for a better experience in the future. read more

This place is great for date night. The staff (kei) is very attentive when my girlfriend and I were eating they made sure we were doing well. I was playing guitar hero with my girlfriend and the manager named Edgard challenged me to a battle. Overall a great experience read more

The food was decent tasting, but the portions are horrendous. For a $20 Alfredo dish, it literally was 2-3 bites of spaghetti. Even a pack of ramen at Costco has a bigger portion. Having it served on a plate when it covered just the center of the plate made it all the more depressing. It ruined a nice Happy Father's Day! I would not go back to eat here. read more

When in doubt, just come here.. staff are always friendly and food is always decent. Most machines are functional and there's really nothing bad you can say about this D&B. Their prizes choices are getting better however they need to (re)stock more. My go to in terms of food: will ALWAYS be the hot dog pretzels, the Cajun shrimp pasta and for my drink: danger water cocktail. read more

I love Dave and Busters as a venue to grab a drink, watch a game, grab a bite, and play games with my kids but I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND D&B for your party. SERVICE SHOULD EQUAL $ SPENT. Our event was stressful from the start. We were arguing with the people in the original room that was reserved because no one informed us they moved our room. You only get 30 minutes to set-up, and no one was there to greet us so we had to find staff to clarify the change. They compensated us drink tickets but that doesn't make up for stress and lost time because we only had 15 minutes left. I had arranged in my contract for the food to start at 3p but the manager asked for more time until 3:30p. They didn't have the food ready until 3:40p and my guests were hungry. Once the food was delivered, the staff disappeared like it was a Door Dash delivery service. They didn't even have dedicated staff in the room the whole time. Staff appeared to be helping two other event rooms. We literally had to hunt them down to get service. Even PUMP IT Up has staff standing around to help you and you have to bring your own food. My husband and I were clearing plates from our tables just to set up the cake up because no one was around. We were finally able to find staff to wipe the table down. No one told us that our drink tickets needed to be ordered through event staff until the bartenders said something, and once we did the drinks took twice as long. Unless they fix this problem, DO NOT PLAN YOUR EVENT HERE unless you want to hunt down service. read more

Friday night. 7:00pm. Birthday party of 12 including kids. Drinks, appetizers, dinners. The works. Shift manager is Edgar. The timing AND quality of our food was perfect. Consistent. All the kids got their food at the same time; nice & hot too. Adults served next. The little things; (glass of ice, mustard) was asked for and delivered with utmost courtesy. Edgar and his crew made our time here wonderful. Well spent. I know this review sets the bar up high, but hey; We all had an enjoyable evening here. Fantastic service and treatment deserve to be recognized. read more

The food and drinks tasted great, but the food was cold. The queso nacho came out wrong because we added chicken to it and it was cold too but the server noticed before we did and got us another one. The service was great. Yes, they take a bit because they are busy, but otherwise they take care of everything pretty much when we had problems arise. read more
