Cool spot. Haven't been to one of these in a long time. It's good to play like a kid again. Good staff, very clean place, very spacious. Good for large groups. We had about 350 people there. Catered food was pretty decent as well. read more

Probably a place to avoid. Never been to a D&Bs before and I was disappointed. Place is nice inside, food is average at best but the staff is poor. Stopped in to catch a game and grab lunch. The place ws pretty dead for a Saturday at noon. And even still it took a long time to get our order. Food took over 50 minutes to come and we ordered an appetizer that was delivered with the meal. I thought maybe it was just us but a couple next to us had to leave without getting their food. Doubt I'd return with so many good places to eat in the area. read more

The food is ridiculously overpriced especially for the quality of it and $6 for two apple juices is totally disgraceful we will not be going back read more

By far the worst experience I've ever had. We had a very absent waiter to say the least. We told him multiple times that we were missing items that we had ordered and he never did a single thing about it. He even had the audacity to joke with us and say "free waters on me!" He even cussed in front of us, complained about other customers in front of us, and said there was nothing he can do while giving other people from a different party 50% off. He even told us how a friend was coming to visit him while we were still there. At the end of the night when he took our cards it took about 20 mins before he returned. We had to send another waiter to go get him for us! Lastly, when we complained about being charged for items we did not receive he literally said to us "could you just sign the check, it is what it is" read more

Ate here and then had some fun playing games and shooting pool. My meal was pretty bad: a sampler platter with shrimp, chicken and steak on skewers all served over rice pilaf. Meh. My friend and I were there on a Wednesday, however, so things weren't all bad (he, by the way ordered the cheesesteak sandwich and it looked pretty good). On Wednesdays there's a discount on domestic drafts and cocktails (half off on the latter -- how does a large-ish mojito for under 4 bucks strike you?). Also, games (including pool) are half price! $6 an hour per table for pool is pretty awesome! The Billiards room there is actually pretty nice, too. Clean, level tables and straight cues with no missing tips. Go for the pool hall...the jury's still out on the food. read more

My friends and I decided to come to D&B to have a fun night out - food and games! I have been to this location before, but had never sat down to dine. Believe me, I will never eat here again. The food is more or less what you'd expect, classic American with okay flavor. However, the service was abhorrent. The only reason I'm giving two stars is because my friends enjoyed their meals. I had to remind the waitress three times to place a drink order for me and twice more that we had placed an order for an appetizer (an appetizer which came after we had received our meals). Honestly, our waitress is who ultimately killed this experience for me. It was the first time, while dining, I contemplated asking for a manager. When we inquired about our pending food/drinks, we were met with sarcastic, off-color comments that were truly inappropriate for the situation. If you do decide to come here for the food, lower your service expectations. And go with friends that can distract you from the extended wait time. read more

Came here last month, service and food quality was great. Lots of fun games for all ages, we had a great time. Decided to come again on 8-14-16, Dustin was our waiter, although he's a bartender. Service was horrendous. Food was even worse. All of our 5 dishes came out separately, about 10-15 mins apart each dish so we were literally here for almost 2 hrs just eating. My toddler got the kids pretzel dogs which were dripping in grease, i requested fruit instead of fries but Dustin said they don't have fruit. What type of restaurant doesn't serve fruit?! Don't you use fruit to make drinks also???? So Wtf? Then my husbands steak salad looked like hamburger meat, didnt even bother to take a bite to try it... So he asked for a salmon instead and the guy who bought us our food and the waiter talked about the the food being sent back for like 5 minutes... Like whats the big deal? So unprofessional. No meals were comped... Could have at least gave us a few extra tokens. Next time well just go to the YardHouse next door. Get it together D&B! read more

With their points/cards system, this place is a complete ripoff now. Look, the games are ridiculous. Huge, insane graphics with surround sound but most games give you 1 life, 1 shot at playing. Which lasts in some cases, 30 seconds. Then it's over and that just cost you "9.9 points" to play. Because now video game arcades need gas station style pricing. The biggest disappointment is that D&B knows it. They constantly try to convince you to spend upwards of $100 per card because they know they have inflated pricing that will rip right through your points in no time. They've managed to take the joy out going to a game arcade. read more

I preface this by saying that I am not really a video game person. At least not to the extent that my husband and son are. That having been said, I had a total blast at D&B. There is something there for everyone, in every skill level. A big group of us went to have some fun for my hubby's birthday. Love the prize options to purchase with your game tickets. Love that the games are pretty generous in giving out tickets---or I'm better than I think I am at video games. I had a great time and I'm looking forward to going back. read more

Too bad we don't have one of these in Tucson. The games were pretty fun. I think they have something for everyone. I just wish the food tasted a little better. I ordered the Philly cheesesteak. It was average. I thought there were too many green peppers. read more

I recommend that everyone try Dave and busters for a fun date night or small group of friends. It can be fun. The staff are for the most part very good. They serve food and have a full bar, all average priced drinks. My only advice is that if you do go, you should make it on a Wednesday night so that you get double points for your money. If you dont, you will end up exhausting your points in no time, and wonder where your money just disappeared to. Of course this is not somewhere you would go on a weekly basis, but even for a rare treat.... the price just isn't justified. I'll be back one day.... just on a wednesday...... not any Wednesday soon though. read more

Went early on a Sunday and had a great time! We were greeted by a friendly young lady at the front desk who explained how it works to us. She loaded up our card with $29 and the two of us played games for over an hour. The place looked clean, only one of the shooting games was acting glitchy - everything else worked fine and I got some sweet ball jar glasses and a stuffed animal for my dog with my 1200 tokens. Nice way to escape the heat for a bit read more

Came here a few weeks ago and was very pleased with my experience. We went for dinner and some drinks and upon walking in my fiancé and I were immediately greeted and were given the choice of seating. Our servers were very helpful if we had questions and the kitchen had our food ready in a very timely manner and the food was delicious! read more

What a fucking deal. Got there at 630 and left at 9 only after having a shit meal. Spent 30$ on the smell of piss. Servers seemed to be high as fuck. Hell of a night though, got pretty smacked. Where the fuck is my car read more

3 stars for the following reasons: We do love the location, the games and the 2 floors with bowling and dining downstairs and the gaming upstairs. The drinks are hit or miss. They had a really great bartender that ended up going to the westgate location so they will have the best drinks from my opinion. The food is ok. We used to love the Calamari and then they got cheap and I can basically count how much is on the plate. You get onions galore though. The only food I suggest are the wings and the sliders. Last night 1-28-17 my fiance and I went here for my b-day and he had the sirloin tips and I had the bacon wrapped shrimp with steak. The food was horrible! His meat was edible but not flavorful. My meat was rubber. I ordered it medium and i couldn't even finish it. I had about 4 bites and I was done even trying to eat it. My shrimp was rough as well. Only thing I enjoyed was my corn and mashed potatoes. My drink was super sweet but I drank it. As far as the staff, the bartender was ok. My finances drink took 10 min because they were waiting for a glass to be washed so he could get his drink. The 3 stars is for the drinks that are ok sometimes, the sliders which i do enjoy when I order them and the games. read more

We got there around 4:15pm for a holiday party. The hostess seemed really annoyed that we asked her any questions at all. The bartender near the bowling lanes was really nice and did a great job. After bowling, we had to encounter the same hostess. I'm unsure what was so offputting about getting us a table, but she acted like she had someplace else to be. Our waiter was nice and checked with us often. I did ask for lemon to go in my water and he brought it over right away, in his hand........when we brought that to his attention, he went and got another. We had the 12oz steaks and they were cooked well, and it was not bad for the price. Overall, I didn't hate it. read more

My wife and I like to go to D&B because we signed up for the online mailer and get lots of coupons. We always have a good time. Their happy hour specials are good, and half-price Wednesday is a great value (but take note: they don't take their coupons on Wednesdays) I have fond memories of the arcade from when I was young, and now there is an arcade for grownups that serves beer! There are still kids running about, but establishment policy is pretty strict about unattended minors, and there is an adults-only curfew at about 10pm I think. read more

We had a great time here! Food was above average, service was decent, and the restaurant was clean. After some drinks and food we took the kids up stairs to play some games and they went nuts. They have games for all ages, and do the whole ticket thing that the kids love so they can get their little toys at the end. The bowling ally down stairs is nice. It kind of has a constant cosmic bowl thing going on. The bar area by the bowling ally looks well stocked and has a cool 50's theme going on. If you get there in time for happy hour mixed drinks were half price. Games = Happy kids Half off mixed drinks = Happy wife Cold Beer and Sports on TV = Happy ME It just had something for everyone! read more

Love this Dave and Busters. Not as many games as the one at Tempe Marketplace, but they have bowling and a better shuffleboard/billiards room. Plus, Desert Ridge is much nice and has more food options than Tempe Marketplace. Bowling is nice, not too overpriced (per hour only). Good atmosphere, lower lighting, much better than most bowling alleys. In between a Lucky Strike and and AMF. Drink specials are so-so, service at the upstairs bar is usually good. Food is typical bar fare, with smallish portions, not great, not bad. I usually hit happy hour at Yardhouse for a vastly superior menu and better value before or after D&B. The facility in general isn't as nice as the newer one's, but it's not old and funky, and everything is usually clean and the games all work. Sucks that D&B got rid of Gold pricing on their games, so there's no real reason to keep my 9 year old Powercard anymore. Spent too damn much to get Gold! Game prices keep going up sadly. read more

Definitely a fun place for the entire family. Arcade, bowling, decent food, bar....a good way to cool off and have fun in this triple didget weather. read more

This was our first time to eat at this restaurant-guessing it will be our last! I will admit that the fires and tater tots were delicious but the burger that I ordered as medium came out well done and it had to be some type of pre-made patty because it was literally dry...no juice to be seen coming from the burger! Sure the waitress offered to have it redone but by that time we had already waited 20 ministers and my husband was already eating....why would I want to wait again! So basically I had fries for dinner! To top it off there's wasn't even an offer to reduce the ticket! The games here must be good because the food sure wasn't read more

This location sucks to put it bluntly... just something strange and uncomfortable about it and the workers, supposed to be a sports game place yet the sound was so low could barely hear ufc and its saturday... boring atmosphere asked twice to turn up sound straining to hear, totally lame, didnt even want to order anything because we couldnt wait to leave wont be returning. read more

The food is great but the customer service was horrible , bad service , waiters and servers had attitude and didn't pay attention to guest

I arrived on a Wednesday night at 10:30 pm at the Platinum lounge for country dancing, but nobody was there. Dancing must have stopped at 10 or earlier. Supposedly free lessons were given at 7 but nobody hung around very long. The dance area is large (that is the one good thing about it!). Most of the area is cement tile and a portion is linoleum that looks like fake wood. It's very cheesy to say the least to have two different surfaces. Was the linoleum too expensive? The dance floor is in front of the bar so when it's crowded people who are walking around will get in the way of dancers. I doubt serious dancers will frequent the Platinum room very often because the room layout is too hazardous and the hard sticky floors will cause injuries. My guess is that hip hop and freestyle dancing to rock music will dominate. It's definitely oriented to youngsters that want to party and to do freestyle dancing. The spacious billiard room has a good wood floor. Go figure! This review is only for the Platinum Lounge at D&B and with dancing in mind. See other reviews for the rest of this very large club. I will update this review when I go dancing there. read more

The food was ok here. Nothing to write on about. It is standard food chain fare. Expect burgers and entrees similar to what you would find at Applebees or TGI Fridays. The arcade section upstairs is ok. Most of the games are overpriced and all of which require that you purchase a token card. This is a decent place to go to once or twice but not much to keep me going back. read more

This is the most poorly run establishment in Arizona. I waited at a completely empty bar over 20 minutes for a drink even after being acknowledged within the first 5 minutes. Showing my frustration another guy eating at a table told me that these other tables that were dirty have been dirty for over 2 hours. I'm not sure what's going on with this place but wont be back. read more

Stopped in randomly and Jeremiah the bartender is simply put the most amazing bartender perfect balance of interaction and service and just a downright nice guy made me a great drink made it a double for just a little more had a beer wanted a bud light but he sold me on a blue moon. Wasnt even hungry but the way he described the food really sold me Way to go corporate store for identifying this talent keep it up!! read more

Worst restaurant experience I've ever had. It took 45 minutes just for their staff to clear off empty tables so we could sit. Service was slow. Their QR code ordering system is slow and needs constant reloading. The last part of our order apparently never made it through the system. The manager came over and would only walk me through reordering on their app. I didn't bother, it'd already been to long as it was. We went elsewhere for food. read more

Extremely unsatisfactory service provided by bartender ISABELLE in the 1st floor bar area. Three of us sat down at the bar for drinks and food today and it was relatively slow, yet the service for food and drinks was extremely slow (over 29 minutes). Then my friend showed her his military ID to apply the 20% discount (AS SHOWN ON YOUR WEBSITE FOR UP TO 4 GUESTS). So she comes back with 3 receipts (which we didn't ask for) and after noticing that the discount was only applied to his check she says "oh i already split the checks sorry" and walks away. Didn't bother asking for a supervisor, we each just paid our tab and left. VERY disappointing service by her, enough to want to stay away from this location moving forward. read more

I love it because it has so many great games!! And great food and prizes! The little shop is so amazing and cute!(the prizes are also very very good and cute) read more

Amazing experience! My 9-year old wanted her birthday party at Dave and Busters. I worked with Matt who made it so easy to pick out the package, walked me through all the details, and followed up a few days before the party to explain what to expect. On the day of her party things went seamlessly. I really wish I remembered the names of the two guys who hosted throughout the night because they were STARS! They were in constant communication with me and my husband, were attentive to all of our guests, and were so polite which is very hard to come across these days. We would definitely do another party here and 100% recommend it! read more

This is a great place for Kids and adults to have fun. Quality of food is not so great. Great concept. Food and Games. The games are expensive. The games use "points" as the currency. You load your game card with "Points" with actual money. the game range about 3 - 10 points. which can translate to about $2 for a game. (Except on Wednesdays, where the game cost is half) The food was just OK. taste like everything is frozen and just heated up. The upstairs is Very Loud. so bring some ear plugs. the volume of the games is set very high. and when you have over 100 games with a high volume you end up with just loud noise! It would help if the volumes of all the games were durned down just a little bit. Overall it was fun. The kids seemed to like it a lot. and there are things for adults to do at the same time. read more

Food sucked and took forever to come out. They lost my ID card by holding it and not giving it back to me. when I went to get shoes for bowling read more

Good times at the Dave & Busters :) we went for a family day out with our daughter who is almost 3 . She had the time of her life . We had lunch played in the game area For about 3 hrs and spent about $70 not bad of a deal at all . We left with lots of little cheap toys and a cute hello kitty stuffed animal all for about 840 points . We will definitely be going back for more fun hopefully one night we can leave the kids at hm :) a good mix of fun for all ages . read more

I have always enjoyed this particular Dave and Busters. It is usually quieter then the one in Tempe. I know, I know....if I am coming here why am I looking for "quiet". The games are all in working order and nice condition, they just added new ones, and for some reason my 2 year old has an uncanny knack for winning the ticket jackpots. Go figure. The food is always really good, have the coronarita (but get it in strawberry it is DELICIOUS). Dave and Busters is our go to place to meet up and do gift exchanged every year for Christmas with our friends. Its a tradition. I am really glad someone had the idea that arcades don't have to be dingy and can be for adults. Hello we all did grow up in the 80's right? (Well at least my generation did). All in all, really like this place and if you sign up for the players card emails you get really great coupons. read more

We had our granddaughter's birthday dinner here. I was quite disappointed. There was no tap soft drinks or tap beer; the canned drinks were in very short supply; service was very poor; the bathrooms were horrendous. Two of the many toilets were functioning and trash all over the floors. I'm inclined to believe they are either closing this location soon or they will be forced to. read more

Never have a bad time at this Dave & Buster's location. Jessy was our bartender/server and although she was extremely busy, she always made time to us feel more than taken care of. Amazing service and we will absolutely come back. read more

Every few months I have to make the trek here to play some skeeball and Ms Pac-Man. They have a ton of video games plus pool tables. I did not eat here on this trip, but in general their food is ok - nothing special - certainly runs circles around someplace like Chuck E. Cheese. When I do order I get one of the eat and play combos because it is a good value. The portions are a good size and they have a good variety. read more

A group of 8 of us walked into Dave and Busters tonight for dinner and a little game play. I was happy to see that the dining room wasn't crowded with only one couple at a booth. We were greeted by an employee and in a less than charming voice she said, "it's open seating." We proceeded to enter the dining room and there was no visible seating for groups larger than 4, so we started to move and pull tables together while the staff did nothing to help. After all, they must have been very busy with that one table full of two people! The waitress came around and took our drink orders. I was thrilled to have learned that happy hour was until 7:30. I ordered a half priced very berry mojito. The drinks came, I didn't quite care for my drink, it was very very sweet. Almost like drinking koolaid. I was still in the drinking mood and was up for trying another half priced drink before happy hour was over, but our drink glasses sat empty for a long time with no waitress in sight. Our waitress finally returns from the abyss, asks two people at our table if they would like refills, and ignores the remaining 6 people. Really?! I was thinking this surely must be one of those 'What Would You Do?" shows, but unfortunately it wasn't and the lack luster service went on throughout the meal. Speaking of our meal. We waited for what seemed to be an eternity for our food to arrive and when it did only half of us received our meals. The waitress got lost once again in the abyss during this time and drink glasses remained empty. Too bad because there would have been a lot more alcohol consumption. I tried to be gracious and wait till my buddies got their food, but I was starving by this point and dug in. I got the jack daniels chicken/power card combo. I asked to have the green beans, but was informed that they no longer served the green beans. Last time I visited, I had the green beans and they were well seasoned with just the right amount of crunch, tonight I was served a few different pitiful looking pieces of broccoli and carrots. The chicken was two paper thin pieces. I'm not exaggerating, paper thin! The mash potatoes were like wall paper paste! And they messed up two of the steak orders at the table. They were served very well done when the order was for medium rare. Also, I overheard my friend comment that his steak tasted like saw dust. There were various mistakes with the other orders as well...wrong sides, etc. After the meal, we went to play the games. The games were fun and I thought of it as Dave and Buster's very clever way to have me forget about the gawd awful service and food I just endured. But all in all it wasn't fun enough to make me forget to post on yelp and warn my fellow yelpers! Eat somewhere else and visit here to play the games after! You have been warned! read more
