At first I thought it was great stopped in here on a random Tuesday, got their late night happy hour, got some tasty drinks for like five bucks but then all of a sudden things kinda got weird. Maybe I was just tipsy and paranoid but some guy that was bowling started being really pushy about wanting me and my friend a bowl with him then the bartender who was being really cool kind of started being weird was and was like yeah go bowl with him. I don't know we were both tipsy maybe we're just paranoid but we decided to just bounce after that. If it wasn't for the creepy vibes I would've given more stars. I do plan to give them another chance it's in a nice area and like I said -late night happy hour was great. read more

The cajun chicken pasta was very average. The chicken was lukewarm and did not come with bread. Stick to the burgers here. read more

We absolutely LOVE Dave and busters in desert ridge! We are weekly regulars for the last three years and can't get enough of this place! Lexi is our FAVORITE server she is sooooooo nice and has the best memory ever she always remembers our food and drink orders and is just the best server you could ever ask for! We love her! We always get the wings dry with dry lemon pepper rub and a side of all our favorite sauces! We really enjoy the smashed burger, sliders, and we always get the kids chicken tenders! We love our weekly Dave & Buster's, especially on Wednesday nights playing games are half-price! read more

My six year old and I came today for a bday party and had a fantastic time - such a great place to have a kids bday party. There was a room reserved where we could escape from the loudness of all of the action, and it was set up super cute for the party w tables, chairs and what turned into a dance floor! The food was pretty good for what it was - bar food (nuggets, pizza, fries, pretzels, etc). The service was great too, attentive staff! But mostly the arcade was top notch with a really great prize store. Definitely recommend - fun for adults too! read more

I've always loved going to Dave n busters to play games and maybe watch some games on all there TVs . If you can find some of there deals when you buy food and get game credits it's usually a good deal and they do have some really good food. Another note is Wednesday is there 50% off on games so you really get a better value on games and they do have some amazing games at all there locations which is cool , I will have to say there prize selection and amount they charge for some prizes is not good they used to have so much good stuff and now it just all seems to be cheaper stuff but it is always a fun place to come read more

So this review is for D&B Sports and Seahawks game day. What a fun atmosphere for Seahawks game day. They have a DJ, giveaways, and it's packed with Seahawks fans. Drink options are many ranging from beers, seltzers, and cocktails (many custom options). The food is really good as well. Had lemon pepper dry rub wings which were amazing and then later had the brekka smash burger. It's got bacon, a fried egg, and grilled onions on it. Sooo good. The fries cooked to well done is the move as well. Love that this is a Seahawks bar and look forward to going back soon. read more

UPDATE: after telling me to reach out to guest services, I sent in all the receipts and card charges. They basically told me they could not do anything even though there was proof my card was charged incorrectly. Not only that, the "guest services" person was beyond unhelpful and could not careless about helping or being apologetic about how frustrating this situation was. Clearly they do not care about their guests. Shame I was planning on having my sons birthday here and after I was treated like this I will go somewhere else. They charged my card twice for lunch, over $20. The server said she couldn't help, called and no one wanted to help. Not to mention there were several ( I mean 4-5 games) that took our credits (money) and were broken. Felt like we got ripped off the whole time. Will not be coming back. read more

The food is average. And the unfortunate hostess that had to work on Christmas should try to be more apologetic when they mess up a to go order. read more

The food was disgusting. The pretzels were soggy and the cheese had FILM on it. And I'm pretty sure that they don't wipe off their tables or clean their menus. The menu pages were STUCK TOGETHER. The bathrooms smelled like doodoo. And the only good thing about it was the arcade games. But the arcade games were sticky and broken! It was also very crowded. One star. read more

Sorry about that. I meant to put 4 stars. Family fun, everytime! The prices are average for this type of establishment. The food is good and we have never had a bad plate. Drinks are offered and priced normally. Lots of games! They add regularly to keep with current trends. It is located in a nice, open-air shopping complex which give the going experience the feeling of a more luxurious, metro outing. Suggest it all the way! read more

Just recently we visited and noticed an unauthorized tip charge from our visit. After dining at your establishment, we noticed that our server applied a 22% tip without giving us the opportunity to select the tip amount ourselves. We were not informed of this before the charge was processed, and when I asked for a refund I was told it couldn't be done until end of business day. While I am reaching out regarding my own experience, I also want to mention that this same issue happened to other families dining there that night as well. This is not just a case of poor service--it is outright stealing, as we were charged an amount we did not agree to. This place is a scam!!! read more

A great place for a spontaneous fun day playing games and having fun! My husband and I came here last weekend and had a great time. Amongst the two of us we got the 400 token play card which was WAYY to much- we probably would have been fine with just a 100 token card since the games are reasonable, of course with kids you may want more. Service was a little slow on the food but the bartender was very kind and food was overall tasty. We enjoyed ourselves and will come back! read more

Several visits here and they continue to drop the ball with service. Wait staff seem to be sad and unhappy and you can never find anyone when you need help with games. The food is truly disgusting! Apparently they changed their menu and we were told the kitchen is undergoing some changes, so nothing we wanted to order was available. We settled on the chicken nachos. Worst decision, they were bland and sad with some discolored chicken squares. Ordered the kids pizza for my son and he ended up getting sick and throwing up! read more

First I want to say, the service we got from Jackson was great. The service all staff members gave us was good to very good. This 2 star rating is based purely on the food. Brussels sprouts 1 out of 10. Barely cooked, soaked in oil, cheese caused them to stick together. Mayo was not appealing to dip into. Firm and chunky, basically straight out of a Mayo jar. Steak bowl 2 out of 10. Cauliflower was barely cooked, couldn't hardly cut through it with a butter knife, onions and peppers barely cooked and SOAKED in oil. Steak was over cooked, and the portion was tiny. Portion of rice served with this meal was pathetic. Barbacoa quesadilla - 1 out of 10, tortilla was small, 8 inches, barely bigger than a taco. This was a $12.99 quesadilla app. Hardly any meat, mostly cheese, very very oily and soggy. 0 crisp in the bite it was so soaked in oil and grease. Chicken wings and fries. Wings were average 5 out of 10. Fries were cold and soggy and SOAKED in truffle oil. Had to ask for new ones. New ones were ok because hot, but still way overly soaked in oil. Kids burger - 1 out of 10, couldn't add lettuce, patty was extremely thin, bun was 7-8 times the size of the patty. Side asparagus - 5 out of 10 good pieces of Asperagus but SOAKED in oil. Would not recommend eating here EVER. read more

I had the pleasure of getting to attend a Girl Scout event at Dave & Busters last weekend and it was crowded but fun. The girls got to play a lot of different and fun games and the prizes for the ticket games were actually decent. The games I got played were fun too. The food was meh at best probably because it was a buffet and not table service. The best part of the food served was the french fries. The event room was neat albeit crowded but that is to be expected with as many girls and adults as there was. I wouldn't mind going back on our own for some family fun. read more

Our kids and grandkids are grown up so what can we do to celebrate 26 years of marriage? We are in our 70's and find D & B just as much fun as we remembered with the kids. Our server Sarah (Dinosaurs) was efficeint, attentative and friendly. Every staff member we spoke to (and we spoke to most) were helpful and laughed at my "humor" Food was good and the beer was tasty. You don't need to be a kid to go, only act like one. Next time I will try the human claw machine, just what it sound like. read more

Food was just ok. The tenders and wings were soggy. I expected them to be nice and crispy. The service is slow. The food took about 40 mins to arrive. Then waited about 10 mins for someone to show up at front counter to purchase a gaming card. The manager on the floor was not very friendly. Restaurant is pricy. Ordered a salmon for $20 thinking it would be a nice size serving, when it came out, it was about 3oz. So tiny was barely able to taste it. read more

I came here on a Saturday night, and the bartender Daniel at the bowling alley was fantastic. Honestly made my friend and I's night. Great conversation and service. Really quick and even had made us some surprise drinks. It was some type of berry margarita. I recommend if you are coming here to grab food and drinks. Ask if Daniel is working. Makes the experience so much better. And Lastly THANK YOU DANIEL! read more

The food was good really good our waiter and I forget his name, but he was an older gentleman and he treated my little nephew with such kindness and he always referred to my nephew by name when he came to the table. The ambience was a typical sports bar, but that's OK we didn't Watch anything, but we were basically there to meet up with family members, which was great. read more

Made a family girls day with my niece. It's been years since I had been in and glad to have come back. We dine in the restaurant to chow down on some great bar food. I feel bad because I forgot the servers name who was super friendly. He was holding down the fort which he did graciously. After we ate we went upstairs to play games. I feel like we were there forever playing in a large arcade playground. We played for hours. The staff we encountered when we checked in was super friendly. The only area that lacked the best of service was the prize center. The two ladies handling the giveaways either don't like children or were lacking service skills. They did not seem to have a ton of patience but overall they had some exciting prizes to choose from. Lots of happy children. I will definitely be back. Next time to bowl. read more

We had one of the worst experiences at this location.... It was supposed to be a great happy hour. While the drinks were ok, it was nothing special. We ordered some quesadillas and found they had horrible, filthy silverware at our table. They couldn't find any that looked "cleaner." So we left and went to Yard House this place is WAY too noisy and dirty for normal people. Only come here if your kids want to play games. read more

We always have a good time here. I've noticed lately that the app has been very glitchy and I don't think it's counting all that it should be. But I know they will get it figured out. After a couple years finally made it to LEVEL 9 LEGEND! We scored out bonus chips of 750 but what really got me was a surprise package delivered to us. They sent us a D&B cup, Bluetooth speaker and a cute crossbody bag!! I had no idea and it was a very needed surprise! Thank you so much for sending the gift! It was very appreciated !! read more

Not what they used to be, they are understaffed so don't expect to be given any attention, dirty tables broken pool tables and disgusting restrooms. Drinks come slow warm and in dirty glasses and they're not even cheap. Only redeeming quality is you can catch the ufc fights here. Hope they get better. read more

Every time I come here I can never get service at the upstairs tables! The last two times I have eaten here the servers are blind to my existence. I've had to get up from my table to hunt someone down to put in an order. Our server even forgot my ranch and didn't even check back to see how our meal was, so I just ate my food without it. No offer for a drink refill, no offer for boxes and I had to again hunt down the server just to cash out our bill! The server just disappeared. Absolutely horrible service!!!! read more

It seems like Dave and busters is starting to go down hill, bathroom smells like weed and the bowling alley's keep breaking down for no reason. The food and service is alright but the servers seem to just unhappy as well, there are those few that that are happy but overall majority seems to be unhappy. It's really depressing that I'm seeing this place go down hill after many years of coming here to bowl and play games but right now how it is. It really wants to make me not come here after seeing the state of how it is right now. Post edit. Yeah the service is horribly slow and really questionable, I've been waiting for my food for a decent while and it's sort of been more than 40 mins read more

I can't express how awesome it is to go somewhere to eat that no matter what you order the food hits! The Customer service is honestly the best I've experienced in a long while, very friendly and they all seem to actually care. The environment is laid back though also nice. My wife loves it here and it's becoming our go to place! PS Paul makes the best drinks! Our waiter Selena was friendly and made my wife comfortable!! read more

Can't recommend Dave & Buster's enough if you are planning a large event like a team building. They help you manage your complex event from end-to-end and everything is handled (mostly) seamlessly. We started planning our event for 120 people about a month in advance and the Dave & Buster's team was great about clarifying all of our expectations and alerting us to things to consider. We hosted our event and it was a huge success. All the milestones that we laid out were perfectly executed. Truly, no complaints. The room we chose for our event didn't have the best acoustics (slight echo) and we probably would have brought in our own sound system, but that was basically the only hiccup. When planning large-scale events there are a million factors to consider and partnering with a company that has dedicated event teams makes it so much easier. This location has three different locations you can choose for larger events. We passed on one because it seemed too noisy, one seemed too formal (like a place to deliver a speech) and we ended up settling on one that was more open and even had patio access. Food at D&B is palpable for most audiences, but let's face it: it's mostly about the booze and they deliver it well. From beers to cocktails, the drinks are a hit. For 120 people, we were pleased with the costs. Dave & Buster's is an excellent choice for a team building event. read more

Had mine and my son's birthday party there and I will never go there again. They never gave us enough plates/silverware despite asking several times. We finally got some at the end of our meal. We ordered nachos, came with no cheese. When asking for nachos with cheese they finally sent out a side of cheese as we were done and leaving. They never picked up any of the plates off the table, I cleaned the table myself so we could have room to eat cake. Waitress was never around, we waited on them the whole time. Games were severely overpriced. Drinks were weak as well. There are so many better places to go I will never waste my time or money here again. read more

Went on a Thursday due to the 50% off food deal on my app. Service was rough at first. We started downstairs as I made a reservation but there was only a bartender who didn't even acknowledge us. After 5 mins we went upstairs and, again, waited 5mins before being acknowledged. There were 3 bartenders just standing at the bar talking which seemed rude. We were finally greeted by our server, Dyllon, and he was FABULOUS, really changed around our mood as he was super attentive. He needs a raise as it seems he was the only person working! Food was okay....we didn't expect anything spectacular though. I don't recommend the Hawaiian sandwich as it's just a single chicken tender on the sandwich. Flavor was decent, but it was basically all bread with barely any chicken. Not sure why they don't use a full breaded chicken breast versus the tender. The games were so much fun but DANG have they increased the cost per game! Since when did it increase from 2/3 credits to 7-10?? Makes it impossible to buy enough chips to last a few hours without breaking the bank. read more

Great Spot for fun, food, and shopping! This place has it all beside it being inside a huge outdoor mall with some really cool decor. You'll be happy when you stop here its a huge Dave and Busters. You can Bowl and play pool here. They have multiple bars also. They even have a sports center! Cool! You really have all you need here. Games, food, Sports, and Drinks. The prices are reasonable.

Although I love Dave & Busters I was EXTREMELY upset by how one of the staff members spoke to me TWICE with the most rude, condescending and unprofessional - especially working somewhere where there are CHILDREN! Her name was JENNY. My two small children brought up their toys to get in exchange for tickets, we were over by a little bit and she was so nasty about it, I kindly responded "the unicorn squishy didn't have a tag with amount of tickets." Which only about 2/3 of the items had tags displaying how many tickets they were. Then disappointed of our 50 short tickets my 6 year old went to get another item for less tickets. So of course we get the same mean lady who continues with her sh*tty attitude and we have now extra tickets left which I knew and said "that's ok we'll keep them on the card for next time, then she snaps back with "you HAVE the card." And turns her back to us and starts organizing items on the counter. Wow, just wow. No thank you, no bye, no have a nice day. This lady needs a serious attitude adjustment and should NOT be allowed to work where there are children present. I would have given 0 stars but since the food was decent and the kids had a blast with every game in working condition and other staff who was pleasant & helpful then I'll keep it at 3 stars. read more

Oh man I'm wiped out from playing video games lol. Bought a Groupon for unlimited video games for like $20 for 2 people. They also have other deals too. Great place for kids and adults. I recommend playing halo last cause it's the best and after u play halo all the other video games suck lol. Halo has awesome picture too! also u can play with 4 people in this game. There's also bowling here and pool if your interested. I think we did one thing at a time. Cause it can get pricey. Came one time for bowling, another time for pool and now arcade/video games. They also have a bar. They also have an elevator which helps. Yes this is a 2 story building. Arcade & pool upstairs. Bowling downstairs. read more
