My happy place

Dave and busters is a chain arcade and there's a reason why they are so big, and have so many location unfortunately for me there's only two of them within Canada but you know I make the drive out to Toronto just to be able to come here! I might be 20 something on paper but I'm still 15 at heart and Dave and busters does a great job of catering to that while also letting me get up to adult activities. That's right this place has a bar so if the gaming is going a little to hard or you need a lil something to keep up with the kiddos this is the spot. The variety in games is incredible serious best out of the arcades I've frequented you have classics like skeeze ball and pinball but then you have some brand new games hot off the press and of course you collect tickets and can redeem them for prizes, and there's not just candy and stuffed animals you can get gaming consoles blenders all kind of great stuff. Also to be noted that this location has taken covid precautions making sure there's hand sanitizer all over and masks are mandatory they also provide gloves that you can wear when touching these high traffic areas And if your hungry they have a whole menu of classic "bar food" items so like me you can spend a whole day here easily! Bonus points of you can beat my high score on floppy birds ;)

Came to Dave & Busters on Friday night for dinner and games. Considering that it was during one of their busier dinners of the week, I was surprised that we there was no line ups for a table. However, being that it was the first time I've been here it was terribly difficult to get a table since there were no hostesses at the desk and all other staff seemed to walk by and ignore you. Eventually, I was able to flag down a waitress after a while of waiting. She sat us down at the booth near the far end of the restaurant area and gave us menus that were sticky all over. Trying to order anything was very difficult as our waitress was nowhere in sight for the majority of the time. Sadly, we had to flag down a different waitress every time for her to direct our waitress to us. Waited 30 minutes of food. We ordered a plate of appetizers and a chicken sandwich as an entree. Appetizers could have came earlier but instead, it was served to us at the same time as the entree. As a result, the appetizers were cold and unpleasant to eat. The chicken sandwich itself was mediocre at best. If you're planning to eat before playing at Dave & Busters, there's plenty of other restaurants nearby with better service and quality of food.

We came here on a Sunday around lunch time. Surprisingly it was not busy at all except couple of reserved parties... it might get busy later of the day as there were many birthday party name listed at the front desk. We only waited for a short while before someone greeted us and brought us to a table. Our server was Chris, he was polite and knows the menu. Less than 15 mins, our foods were at the table. The kids meal is a little small but the steak sandwich was tasty. I wish the bread was toasted or one of those French baguette bread instead of soft bread. It was fresh and still delicious. There are many games available compare to the playdium. It wasn't busy at all so we get to enjoy the games without waiting. The play area was clean and staff were friendly. The play token per game ranges 3 up to 12 credits. I guess depend on the play card you purchase... it can range between $0.50 to $2 per play. Will definitely come back again... but early morning.. since most reviews with few stars seems to visit the place late in the afternoon or evening where complaints are about being too crowded or poor services.

First time coming here and it was great so when you walk in they ask for your ID then you go And wait on line and get a card and you can put money in it and they will give you options and when you play you get points and you can go to a shop and redeem them and get cool stuff but you don't have enough points you can save it tell next time or use them for candy and every one are nice and the ask for your ID because they have a bar and the sell drinks and you can eat there too they have wings , mozzarella sticks etc... and it's great for gathering , party, birthday party and can play group games like air hockey and they have a panic room and other room too so great atmosphere and music and in the end they say thank you for coming and that make me smile :) so I will be coming again soon with friends! High recommend!

there was bugs flying around and they mixed up the burgers and I almost ate a meat burger I'm vegetarian and the food was so greasy it was wet

The games were certainly fun, which is what we came for. But for the service at the restaurant was a let down. We barely got any attention from the server, despite waving her over several times. The restaurant wasn't that busy either, which was the surprising thing. The food was pricey, but what we ordered, which was the mini sliders w/ ribs and fries, were decent it taste and size. The sliders had good flavour, but tasted pretty fast foodish, whereas the ribs were juicy and tender and fries were crisp. Overall, I would rather eat elsewhere next time I visit Dave & Busters for the arcade games.

This private room is really well done. It is a small long room that can fit quite a long table. The lighting is great and it even has a TV at the end of it. The food is great. The vibes are great and the service is very good! Since we were part of a large group, we got a few appetizers to share like the nacho platter and the garlic bread. I had a chance to try the nachos and they were great. For my main I asked our server which pastas she recommended and she gave some great suggestions. I ended up going with the fettuccine alfredo and added chicken to it. I was honestly really pleasantly surprised that it tasted absolutely delicious and also came with a small garlic bread. I also had the chance to try their sweet potato fries which were also really good. Since we were here for a friend's birthday we did bring a cake and the staff were so kind and helpful. They brought the cake out and brought knives, cutlery and small plates for us to serve the cake. They even went above and beyond by offering to take the cake back to the kitchen and keep it in the fridge for us, they actually cut up the rest of the cake and put them in takeout containers for all of us to take home. In terms of payment, they were able to split bills for such a large party, which I appreciated. The rest of the restaurant has a very chill vibe as well. They have live music which was nice to enjoy for a bit. However, I also really appreciated the fact that the private room had doors on it which is really nice for privacy if we wanted it. The washrooms here are also very clean. Overall, I had a great first experience here, and I think I will definitely be back for their patio in the summertime.

The waiter was incredibly lovely and cheery. The food was tasty (even more so than I expected). We ordered the lobster and crab dip, limited edition lobster poutine, and the chicken tenders. My only issue was upon entering the bathroom it felt like a legit refrigerator. I think the air vent hooks up outside which in the middle of winter is cold! I had to do my business quick and run out. Otherwise I would have rated this restaurant 5 stars.

September 9/2025: Lunch with Lindsay…read more This was a pleasant experience. The reason it was so, was because of our server "Jennifer or Jenni". She was a team player. She rolled with the punches, was very responsive to our needs & just a solid server. Jacks...if you read this you should let her know her clients comments. We tipped accordingly. This could have easily been a 5-star if it weren't the error with the spinach/artichoke dip ($19.99), it was cold when it's usually served a little warm. The staff recognized the error & quickly fixed & comped the appetizer for us. I had my usual go-to when I go To Jack Astors...the Chicken Fingers ($22.75) sauces. Also had a side fingers ($8.99/3). These are very close to being the BEST chicken fingers on this local market. The Jacks ambience is always light & pleasant which is one of the reasons I go to Jacks. This is a do over & as I said it COULD have been a 5-Star if not for the minor corrected error.
