    Great place to watch sports & grab good food. Wings are amazing here so gotta take advantage of the special!

    Mountain O' Nachos
    Fely L.

    Was surprisingly surprised that the slider was not dried! The burger was nice and moist actually enjoyed it. The wings were good as well, crispy and moist. Nacho was also very tasty with a white cheese and chips held its crunch! Service not so much.

    Chicken Parmesan Alfredo

    Food and service were good - the salad was surprisingly good because it looked so weirdly pink. The restaurant is nice and quiet compared to the rest of the place. It would be nice if the restrooms were inside the restaurant instead of the game area.

    Fun games

    I came on a Saturday around noon for a birthday party, we were in party room 3 which is a nice big room with tables. The host had ordered a spread of food. It was fun to eat then go back and play games etc. I ordered vodka soda cranberry from the bar tender and he was always super fast and efficient! Around 1:30,2 it started to get busier! This place is huge, not only an arcade but a huge restaurant and bar in another part if you don't feel like playing games. I would so have my bday party here too and I'm not a kid lol it was so fun!

    Came on Sunday when games were half off so it's way more worth it. We usually go on off days and we use our credits up really fast. I suggest going when games are half off since you get more bang for your bucks. Download the app since you can rack up points pretty quick for free play, food, and discounts. We got hungry and decided to eat here and the food was decent. We sat near the game area which is first come first serve. I may say the fish and chips were really good. The fish was flakey and batter was light like a tempura. Fries were mid and the coleslaw was yummy. Wish it was a bigger size slaw. As for prizes it's ok nothing crazy unless you have thousands of credits.

    city grill catering: ribs and chicken bbq
    Merlissa A.

    YAYYY! Here celebrating my S/O 30th birthday and I have to give a shout out to Steven and Adrian for helping make this birthday a fun one! The room was spacious and the tables were sophisticatedly well put together! We enjoyed the food that our group got which was the Grill city banquet! Didn't think that Dave and Buster's had fire food but it was delicious! Couple of the guests mentioned how juicy the chicken and ribs were, and how filling the side dishes were! That mac n cheese gooone! lol In our party package we added 1 complimentary alcoholic drink for each adult for a flat rate of $12 per person! I would say it's worth! In addition, I got game cards for about 12 people who were serious bout playing the arcade games, which was about $32 for each game card. Tbh logistically, I would say having a birthday get together with 20 + ppl and a large room for 3 hours with food (and extra leftovers) is WORTH IT! Definitely come to D&B to celebrate uour next party! P.S. it would have been supah cool if the projecter screen had karaoke! guests were wanting to have some fun music in the room and doing karaoke haha!

    Smashed Burger Sliders

    Came here in a Tuesday night and had a real great time. I don't know why I thought most of the games would be out of order, but it was the total opposite. Everything worked which was a plus and there was so many games to play. From basketball connect four, Pac-Man on a big screen, bowling, etc... The team was very friendly and welcoming. The location is very spacious and the food was ok. We ordered the Cantina nachos was were ok. The nacho sauce was overwhelming and caused most of the chips to be real soggy. The sliders were very disappointing and were nothing special. Overall D&B is a great place to come have fun, but wouldn't recommend the food.

    A faux "mozzarella stick" with some type of fake artificial cheese imitation
    Jeff S.

    The food here is clearly frozen and then refried. The mozzarella stick was embarrassing. Biting into it I was excited for the cheese pull. Even fresh out, the "cheese" was a 2eird brittle and crumbly texture. It feels like it contains more fillers and additives than cheese...if there's any real cheese in it at all. Chicken tenders are overly battered. Also frozen. Chicken wings were ok. Sauce is good lemon pepper was the best. The buffalo wings have a nice kick to them. But again, frozen. The lighting inside the private party rooms is dim and dreary. I think it's probably to make adjusting to the screens of the games less jarring. But it's definitely not a very warm or welcoming feeling inside. Great place to socialize and play games. Terrible place to eat.

    Honestly, I didn't have high expectations for food from an arcade spot, but it turned out better than I thought. The pasta was a bit on the wet side and the mint mojito was very minty, but overall, everything else was surprisingly good.

    Came to Dave N Buster's with my friend and also my family. Especially during my belated birthday celebration. Service was alright despite the wait times can be a bit long, but it's all good! There is always room for improvement when it comes to servers and service. Food is amazing and definitely coming back again next time! . Wish I had a chance to inquire if anyone is hiring.

    This particular outing was quite confusing!! Perhaps it was because we went on a Sunday or maybe there's new staff getting trained?! My son, and his two cousins bought the package where you get credits for playing games as well as a free dinner within the price of 25 or $30. As we made the order, the receipt did not print out so we had to flag down a manager to make sure we got the special code/reservation number for the restaurant portion of the games. The manager printed out the receipt and everything was fine. Yet an hour later, when we went to the restaurant, we sat at a table for a good 20 minutes before our server ever came. Thank goodness, my son and his cousins hadn't seen each other for a while so they were able to play catch-up! I was kind of annoyed , since I was hungry, but we patiently waited. Finally, our server came and we ordered drinks and food all at the same time. The server had no idea how to do our order with the code/deal we bought on their system. So he had to find a manager to help him. He couldn't put in our order for quite some time and it literally took us 45 minutes to get our food!! At this time I was starving, and we saw two people that came in before us leave!! They finished their food and got their bill. But they were also in a different section so once again, maybe it was just our server who didn't know what to do? Overall, our service took 90 minutes to get food and finish as you can see we got a flatbread, pizza, wings, and french fries, along with two beers for the adults. I'm not sure what's going on, but I was not very happy with the service here whatsoever so next time, I'll just order at the bar without my son or eat somewhere else! Lol

    Wanted to watch boxing and have a meal. While waiting on table, my husband gets us beers. Not enough bartenders. They made him go down to arcade and wait in a long long line. Got our beers and found a spot to wait. And wait and wait... done with our tall beers. No text about table. Waited 45 min.. we ended leaving. They never did text our table was ready. This place is cool with hella tv's. But the service is downright bad....not enough employees.

    Kristine S.

    Came here for a kids birthday party and it was nice. Kids definitely had fun and ended up winning 1000 tickets. Food at the party was okay. I ended up staying after the party and unfortunately the service outside in the game area sucked. We sat at a table and not one person came to serve us so we ended up just leaving to have dinner elsewhere. Can get pretty loud inside especially if there is a game or fight on. The dj that was playing that day played some old school music which was great.

    Mac and Cheese - offensively BAD. They'd be better off serving boxed Mac instead.

There are two rooms of lanes, an arcade area, snd a big eating area. Food options are vast with many options and tasted good. Staff were in good spirits and came out to clean periodically. The entire place appeared clean, including the restrooms. The bowling shoes were a bit old and some were peeling and not super comfortable. There were not enough bowling balls of various sizes.

It was pretty dead on Father's Day when we came in but I can imagine how busy it can be and there are lots of activities in as a whole. Bummer that game cards don't let you have tickets for games unless you upgrade it? It was our first time here so maybe something to do with them being free as a bonus to something else. No biggie, kids had fun playing and that's more important. Unfortunately that's where the positives stop. The Bad: service in the main dining area was rough, and that's putting it nicely. I did privately message the business but it seems that only respond publicly. We came in on Father's Day for the first time. Got a young lady with dyed red hair as our server. She couldn't answer any questions about the menu, my mother in law was asking how many wings on the sampler to see if it would be enough (which is not stated in the menu) and a few other questions, all met with "I don't know". Ok whatever, nothing to fuss about. But the problems kept coming. Everyone got their food, she never brought the kids drinks, didn't check back when food got there until having to be flagged down. The whole time, she was within sight but busy chatting with the bartender and coworkers. When we brought up the missing kids drinks her attitude shifted like we were the problem. Had to flag her for beer refills, drink refills, she never asked if anyone needed anything when she did come by to drop things off and she would literally drop an item and zip away before anyone could ask. We weren't high maintenance but when you don't even bring things we asked for to begin with, like yea, we're going to ask for them. The worst part is, when my mother in law got up to use the restroom, which has her walking past the host stand, there was our server bad mouthing us to the hostess, not discreetly at all. She was saying that we're acting like she's not taking care of us. Girl, you aren't! Basic service is not being met when you're not at the least bringing people's drinks or checking on us without having to be flagged down. Especially when there's barely anyone here. She just stopped coming by and we had to flag someone else down just to pay and be done with it. It really is a shame because we did like all other aspects of Big Al's. My in-laws drove all the way out from Visalia to spend the day with us there and the grandkids and to have to overhear your server talking trash so openly is just wildly inappropriate. We weren't copping an attitude, being rude or short with her. Please and thank you for everything, but if people asking you for things is a problem, or you're going to take offense instead of accountability, then maybe service isn't your thing. And management should really address the professionalism or lack thereof. Some people may not take a serving/restaurant jobs seriously, but it's a real job and it's how I paid my bills and provided for myself and family for 22 years.

This is more of a sports bar setting with TV's everywhere so you don't have to worry about judgmental staff or uptight players. Chances are everyone is too busy watching "the game" to notice your crappy swing. The sim, although tricky and hard to read if you've only played real courses, is accurate and offers a ton of feedback. Gameplay supports up to 4 players unless you set up the golf range setting, then it's basically open season. Only 2 bays available by reservation so plan accordingly. There are some loner clubs if you don't have your own otherwise bringing your set is recommended. We had a bunch of appetizers that were all excellent. We came on a slow night too so no issues with drinks/food orders but I can see that being an issue when it gets lively(then again what restaurant doesn't have this issue when busy?).

We had two different servers come to our table who didn't seem to be communicating with each other. As a result, we never received an order of sliders, yet they still appeared on our bill. The bartender also struggled with very basic cocktails. A simple cosmopolitan and a lemon drop -- both extremely common drinks -- seemed to cause confusion, which was surprising. As for the food, it was nothing memorable. One friend ordered a smash burger that was so smashed it included the bun, which I've never seen before. The wings I ordered were small and underwhelming -- five wings for $15 felt overpriced and disappointing. Overall, I don't understand how this place has a 4.5-star rating on Yelp. I left pretty disappointed. The only thing that seems to keep people coming back is the scantily clad servers rather than the food or service.

I have tried several items such as street tacos, quesabirria tacos, burritos, Barbacoa (soup) and menudo (soup). My favorites are the weekend red menudo which has no hominy, but wish it did and the burrito (in both sizes). Menudo is one of the best in the area (I shouldn't say that too loud, but it's true). It's not watered down like other restaurants, it's full bodied and meats (tripe and pata) are soft. I do wish we had an option of hominy that we can request. Burrito have been filling as I have tried several meats. It's heavy to the hand and filling to anyone's belly. Sometimes I enjoy for 2 mini meals in a day. Quesa birria tacos are the third favorite. Cheesy, crispy and greasy in the best way. Consume is flavorful too. The least favorites are the barbacoa (soup) as itwas mostly broth and minimal shreds of beef, if any. The tacos are enjoyed by family, but there is an abundance of a taste or flavor I don't prefer. I maybe wrong but I think it's oregano (but again not 100%). The third not so fav are the regular nachos with just cheese and jalepeno. Also, a negative is that 2 orders were missing items. So check your bags to make sure. So thats not a good feeling when that part of someone's order but recourse is to drive back or let third party know to get a few dollars off. We prefer to receive order and enjoy. Not to follow up with a drive back or a complaint of an item shortage to get refunded a few bucks. Otherwise the staff inside are very nice and understanding. The menudo and burrito are favorited of mine. I will follow up and order other dishes or appetizers, along with the weekend red menudo.
