    Steak nachos
    Allison S.

    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.

    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.

    Ribeye

    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.

    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

    Pictures are $20 each. We ended up paying $90 for 5 pictures + tips

    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.

    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

    DANGER WATERS
    Christine L.

    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.

    Queso nacho with chicken added
    Tina R.

    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.

    Large tvs for game nights

    Do they have foosball tables?

    Can you tell me more about the bar's ambiance or theme?

    It's like a sports bar-type vibe, Chad. TVs galore. Awesome bevvies. Great opportunity to leave adulting behind!

    Can I bring my own cake if we go there to celebrate a birthday?

    Yes you can but I don't know if they will charge you a fee

    Seems like I can't make a reservation for 1 online. Do you accept reservations of 1?

    Hi Olive! You can make a reservation here: https://www.daveandbusters.com/locations/daly-city

    Is the arcade section open or is it dine-in only?

    Our Daly City location is now open for Games, Food, and Fun! We hope to see you soon!

    How strictly is the age policy enforced? If I'm 21, but going with people 18+ is it possible we'd be let in? Planning on going before 8.

    Under 18 are allowed in no problem. I've taken my daughter there and there are lots of kids there.

    Any pool tables?

    No.

    What is the wifi password?

    GONEFISHING

    Do they have the Eat and Play combo deal?

    Do you have to be 21 to come here?

We had heard such great things about Hula Hoops and were excited to come for Mother's Day brunch. When we arrived Sunday morning, we were seated right away, which was great. However, our party of six was seated with only three food menus and five drink menus. I asked our waitress if we could get additional menus for the rest of the table, and she explained they had run out and were waiting for other guests to finish with theirs. We ended up asking if there was a QR code version we could scan, and she brought one over. I was mostly confused why the QR code wasn't offered immediately, knowing half the table didn't have menus to begin with. It just made the start of the experience feel a little disorganized. That said, there were definitely some positives. The sparkling cider for Mother's Day brunch was a really nice touch, and the Shanghai lumpia was fantastic. I ordered the two-protein silog breakfast with eggs, and while the flavors were good, the single scoop of rice just didn't feel proportionate to the rest of the plate. Any Filipino knows you need a little more rice to balance everything out, so I ended up not finishing my meal because it felt off portion-wise. My son ordered the cheese omelet and said it wasn't his favorite, especially the potatoes. The ube waffles were really yummy though, and my husband enjoyed the sisig tater tots. Overall, I'm glad we finally got to try Hula Hoops after hearing so many good things, but unfortunately it didn't quite live up to the hype for us, and I don't think we'd return.

I enjoyed the Elvis pancakes--named for the fact that they're made with peanut butter, honey, and bananas. The flavor profile was good, but the pancakes were chewy and dry. I enjoyed the flavors, which is the only reason this review is 2 stars instead of 1. Beyond that, the service was not great. Our table was dirty and while the server said she would come clean it for us, she never did. The table only had one set of silverware and I was never brought any during our meal, I had to grab them off of an adjacent table. We were not given water, or asked if we wanted any, and our server checked in on us so infrequently that we had to flag down a different one just to ask for water. The prices were fine. Nothing unusual for the Bay Area, so that was a bonus at least, but there's no way I'm ever going back.

We arrived around 2:00 PM and experienced long delays--our children's food took about 40 minutes, and our meals came even later. Items were missing from our order, and it took additional time to receive them. Although another server stepped in and was helpful, our assigned server (AJ) became visibly upset when we requested our birthday desserts to-go, acted unprofessionally, and made disrespectful remarks. Manager Eva Lucero did apologize, but the situation continued when the server returned and behaved inappropriately, which was unacceptable. To make matters worse, other tables seated after us were served much faster. This experience negatively impacted what should have been a special celebration. I would appreciate this being addressed, as I also requested a refund that was not resolved.

The restaurant has a full bar and dining area. The place has the feel of a family Italian restaurant. It is quaint and comfortable. We both ordered the calamari steak which came with both soup and salad included. The soup was a minestrone - 9/10 - which was delicious, hearty, and felt like it was simmering all day. I think I could've easily just eaten the soup and salad and would have been very happy. The house salad - 8/10 - had a wonderful homemade Italian dressing. This was the best house salad I have ever had. Calamari steak - 7/10 - this was cooked very nicely and was piled high with garlic. The garlic wasn't overpowering at all and mixed well with the tartar sauce. The mash potatoes - 8.5/10 - were amazing and creamy. The menu had a wide variety of dishes. Given how good everything we had was, I would guess everything on the menu is likely just as good. Last but not least our server Audrey was great. She was attentive, pleasant, always there when we needed something, but never there too much. Audrey made the whole experience just that much better. I would highly recommend.

They weren't sure where to go, so I quickly yelped bars and this one popped. It wasn't super busy, so we easily grabbed a table. Kinda divey, kinda neighborhoody, and they played good music. Very much my group's style with the old school r&b and hip hop. Drink prices above were reasonable. I got one round and my friend got the other one. Each round averaged 3.5 drinks and about $41.50 each. $52 each with tip. Nice place to hit up if you're it the neighborhood and looking for a night cap of sorts. Music was a little loud, so talking can be a challenge, but we had a good time. REVIEW #3826

I walked in to a thumping beat on a Saturday evening, just killing time, really. The music was unnecessary, or at least unnecessarily loud. It was a small crowd that had nothing better to do on Valentine's night. The bartender and I had to lean towards each other to get my order right. I just had a dirty vodka martini, competently made. Nonfood available, but there was a box of pretzel snacks sitting in the bar, which she handed me. More brightly lit than an ordinary dive bar, but so much more could be done with it.
