Game Day Appetizer
Heidi S.

This is a nice place to bring the family. Games and food. Service was good. Their fries are yummy. Only one issue, we ordered the Game Day Grub ($30.99) app, which reads that it comes with celery sticks and there were none, when I asked the server he At first said it didn't come with that, but when I showed him on the menu , he said " oh I didn't know that and I just take out what they give me". I don't eat beef and that app is all beef & wings so the celery sticks caught my eye. He did offer to get some but I feel like they should know. But it is nice and the food was good so it is a small complaint, just pay attention when your apps come. Also, and this is a personal thing, why can't they have a turkey burger?

family bathroom

had a great experience and Came last saturday, played a bunch of games for $31 total for two people and we got a pretty solid tripod from the prizes, staff was nice and ambiance was good really nice and clean bathroom, not super cold and had a sturdy table

The food was subpar but we anticipated it being that way. You go to these kind of establishments for the kids and the experience, I'm not anticipating culinary expertise in a Dave N busters. They can make some decent drinks and their dessert was decent. The food was forgettable but the experience and the buzz of excitement that rings through the place makes all of that irrelevant.

Watermelon Margarita and Long Island iced tea

We got a play card with our Bucky book coupon $20 free with purchase of $20 then headed to the bar for a drink. Drinks took a little time to make but were extremely delicious!! Pleasantly surprised. We went to use our play card and it was not loaded correctly so had to go back to the bar and had them re-add the funds. Easy process as they were not that busy. Games were super fun and that amount lasted for quite a while! Will be back to try some food and more drinks!

Putrid carrot. Replacements looked better but shouldn't have been diverted from the dumpster.

20 min seated before someone finally approached me. Hardly Not a busy night at 5:30 on a Thursday. 6 people at the bar and 4 tables with 3 at one, 6 behind me (packing up the kids) and what appears to be 2 4tops. This is Chuck E. Cheese with booze. Thought from one long ago visit the menu was larger. Covid might've made that necessary. Ordered the bone in wings, dry with Korean bbq sauce for dipping, but the plate arrived already drowned in the bbq. When a neighboring table had Korean ribs delivered they were dressed with sesame seeds and green onions, I'd hoped this would at least have been my wings presentation since they opted to send them out already drowned. Wings were good at least. The celery was acceptable, but each of the carrot sticks were clearly prepped and soaked in water long enough that they made me think of bathtime as a child and my fingers became raisins! Gross, they were nearly paste, the requested replacements weren't any better. Because I'm starving and have to stay here to keep my daughter entertained at least an hour, I decided I'd try the IPA fish n chips out. Hoping this is up to my expectations. As an establishment this place is pretty on the ball, everything in my quick tour of what was going on was clean and orderly. Mens restroom spotless. Lots of visual stimuli. Very nice in a carnival sort of way. The fish order showed up exceedingly fast as did the wings. Salt and pepper when requested did as well, though I confess the fries were only warm on arrival, but still crisp. Fish was too hot to touch. Final thoughts. If I was drinking this would be entirely different. This is a place to get drunk and have fun greasy decent food. Fish was tasty, but being deep fried, it's greasy. Fries sucked. If the tarter sauce wasn't watered down to a very soupy consistency and actually tasted good, I might've enjoyed the fries, and certainly the fish. As an American, we're supposed to eat fries with ketchup, I can do that, but I have long preferred tarter sauce. I have some killer tarter (brand was something from or at least having Britain on the label. I can't recall, but plan to buy it moving forward!) If I decide to start drinking again, I'll likely return, sober? Not. Except to have a fun place for Nicole to have fun being the exception.

Roasted cauliflower

I've wanted to Try D&B for quite some time. I was excited when the came to town and just never got the chance to go. This weekend presented itself with a chance to try them out. We were greeted promptly and seated quickly, and honestly that's where it seemed to go down hill for me. Apparently they only use contactless menus (QR codes direct you to online ordering). Which on on one hand I appreciate, in the situation we are in with COVID. HOWEVER, the system was.... Clumsy IMO, there was very little explanation given to us by the waitstaff. I was purchasing my meal, my drinks, my apps, all on my own. Paid for before I even got my drinks. And expected to apply a Tip to the total before even having ANY basic services from the waitstaff. I have NO issues TIPPING, but I have to know WHAT I'm tipping for. What a horrible system!!!!!!!! The food: My burger, was solid, the bacon jam was actually quite tasty. The roasted cauliflower.... Not so much, it was more like slightly toasted. The fried Pickles were quite tasty and crispy. On the the gaming........... -$3 for a card to use ONLY at your establishment???? Come on!!! If you want to put a deposit on it, fine, but charging me, for something I'll probably NEVER use again, NOT cool. -The whole time I was in the gaming area, not ONCE did I see any kind of wipe down of the machines. Maybe it's just me but aren't they high touch areas???? All in all, I had a decent burger, my niece had fun playing some games, but HIGHLY unlikely to return.

At least the fries were edible, these burgers were charred and horrible.

See all
