Went bowling with a few friends. Took 32 minutes to get a drink and had to ask to get service. Almost 40 minutes before our drinks came and we ended up leaving just before the hour was over. Would have drank and ate more but frustrating on the wait. Wasn't too busy either. Ended up leaving and going to have drinks somewhere else. Bowling was good however the bumpers stopped working after a few throws, appears to be stuck. No sense of urgency or service. read more

Dave and busters your food is a joke. When in order a platter I expect more for the price you charge than a pic I'll couple of pieces. Def overcharged read more

I hadn't been here for a long time so I took my gf and kids with to have a good time. The kids of course loved the games but commented they were expensive to play and the prizes were highly priced as well ( tickets I mean). They did have fun though and that's good When it comes to the food they were average. Burgers were over priced and under delivered and I had the ribs. The sauce they out on the ribs was awesome but it wasn't a very filling rack of ribs. So that's why they were rated average read more

My son and I just visited this location yesterday for dinner. We sat in the bar area and had great service. I had a special drink request, and the bartender had no problems with it. We asked to share an entree and it came that way to the table. When my son wasn't ready to eat it when it came, they offered to put it back under the lamps to keep it warm. When my son finally returned (from playing games) the waiter said that the manager didn't like the appearance of his entree, so they prepared him a brand new one. Now, that's service. We had a chicken w/shrimp dish. We got a $20 power play card and entree for $25. My only disappointment was that they got rid of the "Deal or No Deal" game! read more

What can I say we were exploring the desert ridge mall with my friends kiddos and nieces in hand. We decided to try Dave n busters for fun and food. However the food was unpalatable mediocre we ate it because we were hungry but I would not return for the food. I would return however to have Edmundo as a waiter. Our food took at least 90 minutes to come out which was awful.However we were having a good time talking. Edmundo communicated with us about the food and did whatever needed to be done to make our waiting bearable. Edmundo deserves recognition as we could of easily got up and walked out! There's nothing like hungry children to make things worse! Edmundo thank you for being a great waiter! However for the kitchen staff what the heck !! read more

The games are a lot of fun. And the food is actually very good. We ordered the Philly cheese steak and ribs with Mac and cheese. The chefs in the back forgot that we requested no onions on the cheesesteak, so when they brought it back they brought it back with no veggies as well. We didn't mind but our waiter noticed and he realized it and decided to take the extra step in getting some veggies for us. It was extremely thoughtful! Our waiter was very good and he was fairly attentive. His name was Justin and he knew the items well and the best way to handle situations big or small. The games were so much fun. We ended up with a ton of tickets.. Got a few of the items (not much to choose from) which wasn't too fun and then decided to give the rest away to some cute little kid. It was a great time and money and time well spent playing video games for tickets. Too bad it wasn't money lol. read more

Just had another fantastic experience!! Daniel at the prize area was totally awesome! We had to call the game mechanic over a few times and Paul C. was wonderful too. This place seriously has the best employees! read more

Waitress was making drinks and sticking her dirty fingers knuckle deep in drinks I told the manager standing right next to her to make her put gloves on if she wanted to stir the drink with her fingers he said ok and did not say a word and still let her serve the drinks. This happened on 7-5-19 read more

Food takes three times as long as it should to arrive. Don't expect many warm smiles from the employees , they all seem stressed out and under appreciated( with an exception from a few nice young ladies at the winners circle. Good job girls ) If you have questions about promotions , pricing , non working games ... don't expect quick answers or sometimes answers at all. I've been coming to this location for almost 8 years . The only reason is because there are memories with my daughter at a very young age and wednesdays half priced games kind of became a tradition for our family. Otherwise, I'd take my business elsewhere. read more

Fun day excursion!!!! Great for friends, families, teams, date nights, work events.... so many things to do!!!! Bowling, sports TV, interactive premium arcade that is often updated with new games, including racing, basketball, life size Rock 'Em Sock 'Em, billiards, games for little kids and big kids, plus great drinks and food!!! Lots of space, including 2 floor levels, both levels have restaurant and bars, patios, stage sections too, all to celebrate small or large events. The staff is truly accommodating and friendly to work with. Many casual events going on during the week too, plus seasonal events for all - be sure to check out the website or call. read more

I don't know- I don't know- who can think amidst the loud clanking noises and flashing lights?! Plus, trying to figure out the pricing of cost of $ vs the # of points u get vs the meal package that comes with a power card plus the cost of super charge. Get me a drink already! Maybe this is their ploy all along. LOL. I got a little dizzy from trying to figure it all out. In the end, I opted for the $25 card buy 4 and get 175 points. You supposedly get 25% more play. Not sure if that matters since each game takes a different amount (not posted on the machines) so it's not like you can plan your play. And $25 worth of play goes quick. In about an hour in fact. The food is good, better than typical arcade food. There is a bowling alley. The y also have 1/2 price play on Wed. and HH. Place is fun for both kids and big kids who are mistakenly called grown ups. It's a fun place but if you are sitting upstairs don't expect to have a conversation with screaming to be heard amidst all the noise!!! read more

Not only did the technology app work for my friends to pay their bill. The manager had the poor sweet waitress come take a picture of the error, then preceeded to sit and stare at the picture of the error the app generated. About ten 5 minutes later after talking to all the other servers and clearly not regarding the issue at hand by having side conversations. The manager came over then said she's going to send the image to corporate, not offering a discount or anything after in total we had to wait 15 min for the manager in general. The service by the waitress was great, the manager should be reviewed and have a conversation on respect when dealing with issues by customers. Seriously appalled. read more

We went on Friday night, and had no wait time for a table, a group of 6. Food was decent but service was a tad slow. We ended up using the bowling alley which was really cute, aside from the stench of feet. Yes, that entire hallway leading to the bowling alley stinks like feet. (I guess the bowling shoes, who knows). They had cosmic bowling with music and video screens, but all that plays on the screens are sporting events. lanes were a bit pricey-$25 an hour on a friday. read more

Great place to go if you want to feel like a kid again. Very young crowd. Fun games and average food. read more

See all

This last time we were here, was 3 months ago for my nieces birthday party with all her girlfriends. Started off in the bowling alley area, which is located on the lower level. My sister got bowling for the girls (12), endless amounts of pitchers of soda, hamburgers, chicken bites and french fries. I don't know if that is a package or not but i know they have other packages, see attached pdf i found. The was plenty of attention from the servers and very helpful with getting the bowling started. The girls had a really good time, i know my sister is really glad that she chose Dave & Busters. After the bowling the girls ran upstairs to use the coins we gave them. They had a blast and even more fun trying to decide what to get with all of their tickets they got. 4 stars because the cost of this place was nuts. They have a pretty good racket going on here, the kids love it! This place is great for groups of people, and lots of kids. read more

I tried to purchase two of the 375 point passes for my 17 year old friend and I (I'm 18). They told me I could not purchase one for her and that I would have to be 25 years old or have a 25 year old there to supervise her. Ridiculous rule! Waste of a drive, not a good place to hang out anymore. Go to any other arcade. read more

3.5 I'm honestly not sure what I was expecting since it was a D&B but here we go. Service: The hostess was a bit absent minded. She sent us upstairs (with a baby in a stroller mind you) to go to a table that was available but we get up there were none available. So back down we go. Our friends with the baby were obviously quite annoyed. We get seated and our server is also really slow but nice. He even offered to split mine and my bfs meal on two plates since we were sharing, which was a nice touch. Food: We ordered apps. Pretzels were just ok, but my friends loved the potato poppers (& $1 to make a wish left a good warm feeling). I also got the tortilla soup which was yummy. Now my steak, which as previously mentioned they split for free and separated for us (very nice), was unfortunately cold, really rare (asked for med rare) and so gristley I could hardly eat it. Drinks: I ordered some cherry adult beverage (cherry mojito?) that was really good. Games: The usual, but they weigh the tickets instead of count them and that may be cheating... Tickets are worth 2 so I hope they double the weight! read more

The food is really nothing special. In fact it's kind of bland. The drinks are just drinks. Again theres nothing totally great about it! Playing pool is fun and there is always an open table. The location is good and it's fun to play games when you are tipsy. It's good times there but noting super awesome. read more

Went bowling with some friends, and we had a great time. The service wasn't always the best, they only had one bartender/server, and one person running the bowling alley, so we had to wait on drinks as well as any problems we had with the lane. We went upstairs and played some games, and that was fun as well. Love the variety of games they have. Their drinks and food however, was overly priced. We spent more money on drinks and food than on the games, and we were playing for over 3 hours! We will only go back when we can afford an expensive night out, which will be rare, especially since I would rather have a nice meal for the same price of playing drinking here. read more

It seems the best days are behind D&B. The games are now 70% games of chance that dispense tickets like you would see at a Chucke E Cheese. The other 30% are primarily racing type games and all of the games we played were clean and in good working order. I was put off by all of the ticket dispensing games and wanted to see way more arcade games. They only had 3 machines that were 80s classic. It's very loud in here but that's typical of any places like this. As for the food... not so good. I ordered a half rack of ribs and a good portion of it was very fatty. The garlic mashed potatoes were good but the onion strings or whatever they were tasted very bland. The service was good tho and our server was attentive to drink refills and checked on us very often. read more

I have gone several times now, since my granddaughter is fond of the games, but the food service can be spotty. This time they had a few groups and we waited and waited (20 minutes to order, 45 more to get the food, and 15 more to get a slice of frozen bananas foster pie for dessert). read more

Had the Tacos, tasted horrible. Would be nice if they had different tacos options Bowled on sticky lanes, both husband and I fell. Games are short play and expensive. Didn't play a lot, as most of the arcade was occupied by kids. Kids were running around bumping into people. Love kids, but would be nice to have some rules on running around. read more

Dave & Buster is a huge scam. They change the price of their games based on peak loads and use cards to get kids to forget how much they are paying did the games and reload, reload, reload. When we went the games were about 75 cents each for 30 seconds game. Next they claim you can open a rewards account for free and without what they call a power card. But when I tried to do this they insisted I needed to pay for a power card to open the rewards account. Finally the food was good but the orders were all messed up and the initial delivery was 45 minutes and our server said they are supposed to deliver the food in 7 minutes. We got there before 5 PM so it wasn't a peak time. They had to credit money back for this. And they don't print the prices of the drinks on their menu so you don't know you are paying double the normal cost for drinks until you get the bill. Overall not recommend. read more

Dave & busters is the best. If you want to have fun I recommend dave & busters. There is lots of food to try and games. BEST PLACE EVER!!!!!

Eric was very nice and helpful when my friend lost her car key and he was helping her car keys today he was so understood

Why Meh? The state of repair on the games made this a voyage of discovery, e.g, with a 2 hour unlimited card I could work out which machines actually worked:) .I'd rather have a downed machine than something that is unplayable but maybe I'm just unlucky that I hit the 4/5 games with issues in my first plays. End Ghost Recon.. gun on left won't hold steady target jumps all over. Opposite of it : Need for speed Carbon has a intermittent brake pedal which won't let the car go too fast) Mechwarrior 4/ Beach-head 2000 unit.. Hideously slow , jumping frames, jerking hydraulics, broke after playing. Can't get 8 way direction on left side of tekken 5 Gave up and played Galaga after that:) Yeah left / right fire that works:/ Variety is lacklustre, Shoot, Drive , and oh shoot AND drive is about all you get with rare fighting games, not a single vertical / horizontal scroller read more

We went for an evening of fun and were very disappointed. It started with trying to eat first and were told we had to sit in the open seating area. It took well over a hour to order and get our food. Which if the place had been busy I could understand. Much-of the food was cold and some was missing. Part of the order finally had to be boxed to go. It was my granddaughter's 21st birthday and she ordered a drink which came after the meal. I noticed that the employees were more concerned with setting up for the private party than taking care of our parry of 10. So on that note we paid the bill and left instead of trying to play games or enjoy this facility any longer. We were even charged for a beer that we were given in error. Sorry to see this place so prolly managed since the last time we were there. read more

I like coming coming here with my bro's to play some games and drink some brewski's but the last time I checked it out half the games were out of service and the wait staff was slow. Step your game up, Dave & Busters! read more

Finally got to go to Dave & Buster's for the first time over the holidays as part of my company's holiday celebration. We were a group of 20-something people and they had set up a lunch buffet for us downstairs with a few choices. The tables were also set up nicely and everyone had a great time. Food was ok, chicken breast and some pasta type dish, bread rolls, butter, salad. All in all a little bland, nothing too exciting. After lunch we headed upstairs where they have all the fun games. There are a couple of bar areas, I saw one downstairs and one upstairs. The games are great, they probably have anything you can think of, from earthquake simulators to fruit ninja. At the end I ordered wings to go for my husband, which took a while to show up, but hubby liked them so it was worth the wait I guess. read more

A few tips: -Coupons are a must! Either sign up for their emails or go to the main office located near paradise bakery on the back end of the building facing the parking lot. You can almost always find coupons for D and B and other places at Desert Ridge. Like match plays for 10 and 20 dollars. Doubling your money and playtime. -Supercharge your card getting 25 percent more -The food is a bit better than okay, I would use tickets to buy food and eat downstairs where you can watch some sports and get away from the loud noise and lights. The food costs 750 and 1000 tickets per item; items include cheese sticks, spinach dip, nachos, and desserts. So for around $26 you can have about an hour of play and your kid can get a cheap toy and then turn those tickets in for a meal. Not too bad. read more

Aaron in the bar/ bowling area was spectacular and so attentive. Great service. Amazing vibes. Drinks were phenomenal and the giant pretzel was hecka bomb AF. -Rebecca and Danny read more

Out of all the locations in the valley for D and B this my family's favorite spot! Sign up for their coupons online and they will always hook you up. We have only ever eaten at this location and it is okay but you know you really go for the games. So check it out on 1/2 price game night which is Wednesday! read more

My husband and I came to Dave and Buster's for a date night on a Friday. I anticipated the place being full of obnoxious kids running around like chickens with their heads cut off, but luckily, that was not the case. We got a card and loaded it with $20, got a couple of beers (only one local beer on tap-Kiltlifter) and proceeded to play the night away. I am a total trivia buff so I loved playing the trivia game (and beating everyone who sat down at the game with me.) I also loved the ski ball game and the basketball game. We played a couple of games of air hockey too. We especially loved that a girl that worked there kept coming around and giving us tokens to play a coin game where you can win a lot of tickets. We called her "The Coin Fairy." She visited us a couple of times and gifted us with tokens, which made my husband very happy. read more

Over a week we visited d&b three times (mon, wed, & sat) while we stayed at the Marriott resort down the street. Kids (9 and 11) loved it as we only visit once every 2 months normally. Place was bigger than the ones we have visited on the east coast, though this is due to more dining spaces, special party rooms, platinum bar, patio dining. Games were about the same. Except half price Wednesday, the crowd was about the same. One thing, the ticket redemption center had fewer prizes, less variety and poorer quality than othrr d&b sites. Had a beer and a couple of sodas, while we dined at many of the restaurants located in the square around d&b, like smashburger, nori sushi, slices pizza and coldstone creamery, which all offered better food. read more

Friday - Check. Wellness day at work - Check. Free food and game card- Check, Check, check. Seriously how can this be a bad day when you are get to leave work and go eat and play games. The good thing about it was that it was early in the afternoon so it was not as packed with kids. Although there were a handful that were there that lead me to the question why the hell weren't ya'll in school? At any rate, we had a grand ole time playing all the different games and trying to get as many tickets as possible. I was stuck on Fruit Ninja since I like to play that came on my Xoom. I swear it wore me out lol. Seriously though, it was great way to spend the afternoon with my crazy coworkers. I doubt if I will go on a Friday night, but during the week or early on the weekend, maybe. read more

What to say? They're all the same. Crazy kids running around like they snorted pixy dust but having time of their lives. I will say from a parents point of view the full bar option is always welcomed. I'm amazed at some of the video games that have come out. Pretty cool stuff. They have bowling downstairs which is a bonus as well. I ordered the BBQ Wing Sliders and they were great. So based on that I'd give a thumbs up! read more

It's the chuck e cheese for adults. I like going here when there are kids playing ticket games and they(and/or the parents) fail to hit the jackpot. That's where I come in to hit the jackpot they've help accumulate. Their food is decent. You can't go wrong with the blackened chicken pasta. I do miss their tempura mushrooms and rib-eye steak entrees. Great place to watch sports. They have two large projectors along the bar and flat screens against the walls. It's a great place to grab a quick bite, a few drinks, watch some sports, and play games. At least the ticket redemption area has prizes worth saving tickets. You're paying for the entertainment at the same time trying to win prizes, though it would be easier to just go to some electronics store and buy prize you see in the glass case. I came back after locating my California D&B card number to roam in Phoenix so I could redeem a big prize with my tickets, but the staff weren't able to do it. I was told they would be able to do it with just my account number. read more

Peter Piper for grown-ups. I knew we were in for an expensive evening here, but we wanted to do something "interactive and fun" (my friend's words) for a couples' date. For a grand total of about $175 for two, there were soooo many other things we could have done which would have included better-tasting food, better service, cheaper drinks, and better comedy. We had a great time with our friends, but we would have fun with them anywhere. At least the Super Trivia game paid off enough in tickets to bring home Fun Dip for my kids. read more
