    I have been to the location in Winston-Salem, NC, a few times before, and I have always had a great time, and this time was no different. Since my last visit a few years ago, they have added some new games, which is always a welcome surprise. A new game that caught my attention was the life-sized Hungry, Hungry Hippos game. Playing it in a bigger version was fun than the board game we all played as kids and brought back some good nostalgia. While I did not have a bad experience here, I will say that you should steer clear of the food; it is overpriced and, truthfully, not good. I have had an appetizer and an entrée in my previous experiences, and I remember it being bland and dissatisfying. The mozzarella cheese sticks were small, and as much breading as they were cheese, and the cheese steak was more bread than anything else. This is why when I went there, I ate before I got there to avoid getting trapped in the calamity of the food at Dave & Buster's. The food issues aside, I enjoy coming here and playing games. It is nice that you do not have to fool with quarters or money, and the tickets you win for playing said games is uploaded to your card. That is extremely nice and makes life easier when you want to return to Dave & Busters, as you do not have to pay a fee to activate the card again, and the tickets stay on the card.

    202408031907 Busy. Send someone early to reserve table. Good service. The ribs are fall off the bone tender, but the sirloin is a little dry. The old fashioned style mash potatoes are bland, but the fresh vegetables are actually fresh. As always, the rolls with cinnamon butter are yum. The place is rock'n, the decore is Roadhouse rustic.

    I normally don't go there for the food, as the games are always a big hit, especially on date nights or with a group. But the food here is really good, the bartender was nice and the food came out presentable and hot. Ordered the "Pretzel Dogs" and the "Cheese Stick Stack". They were absolutely delicious and a great way to end a night of gaming. Also recommend trying some of the drinks on the menu (if you're older enough, of course)!!

    This is a fun place to visit especially if you have a kid and want to keep them busy. Let me start off by saying this Dave and busters has the best Coca-Cola I have ever had. I don't know how they keep it but it was fizzy, spicy and not syrupy. They serve it well. We ordered a chicken bite kids meal for my three-year-old niece and it was poorly done. It was a dry chicken strip that was cut into 5 pieces. There were some fries under the bites. We also ordered some chicken wings and chicken strips. They were both dry. There's nothing to rave about here. I recommend the Carolina sauce. The Korean sauce was too sweet. The fries on the side were tasty. The games for the most part are a money trap but it's fun. A lot of them were not self explanatory and just swallowed money fast. Mera's Tip: play and drink coke

    This place is way better then the 2 1/2 stars it gets on its reviews. We have been here a dozen times. Staff is awesome, if something breaks or doesn't payout a jackpot they make it right. Food is quick serve restaurant style - so critics should expect a TGIFridays kind of dinner. Place is as clean as it can be for the foot traffic. They post a sheriff during busy times so it's as safe as a place can be. We have fun every time. We bring our 8 year old with no issues. I say 4 stars but gave 5 on rating to boost them - definitely not 2 1/2 stars - don't be afraid to come here. Save your card - download the app on your phone and you can skip the register at the front by loading your own play card before you get there. Save your tickets and get something good. All of the games here work and it is possible to hit the big jackpots - we do. Crane machines are questionable - but rest of stuff is good. Go have some fun!

    Me and my friend went to dave and busters the other day, the tables were clean, the waiter was nice! But the plates were dirty and there was a food crumb on one of the plates, also there no silverware, yet the other tables had silverware on the tables? So my friend went to table beside us and got the silverware from another table. The wait for food was about 30-20 mins. Once the food got to our table it looked good and tasted good, considering it's an arcade. Overall this wouldn't be my weekly or usual dinner, But it's definitely a one time and done kinda thing.

    Our group of 16 enjoyed the food and the vibe. It was only a few other people inside which was nice…read morefor us. The bartender handled the large group well and it wasn't a long wait for the food.

    Wow, we've been missing out! We knew about the Playground but didn't really give it much thought…read morebefore today. We were interested in watching the Oregon Duck football game this afternoon and were looking for a place to watch the second half of the game while grabbing something to eat. My wife did a bit of searching and suggested the Playground. We mentioned this to our friend and neighbor and he had nothing but great things to say about the place. We arrived shortly after 5pm on Saturday evening, and had no trouble finding parking. We were immediately impressed. They have a nice outdoor patio and once we walked inside we could see this was not your typical "sports bar". In addition to the bar/counter area, there are tables throughout the main area near the stage and bar. They also have virtual games that allow people to play everything from Zombie Dodgeball to Baseball. We took a seat at the bar and asked if one of the TV's could be changed to the Oregon game. They were happy to accommodate us but we also appreciated that they checked with another couple they knew were interested in the games playing to ensure we each had at least one TV focused on the game of our choice. The young man who provided us menus was friendly and helpful. We also met the manager, Sam who gave us a bit more history on the place and we discovered we are both Penn State Alum, which was cool. I ordered an IPA on draft and saw for the first time a draft system that fills the cups from the bottom with a magnet filler system. Sam and I talked a bit about it and how it works, which we found really interesting. We looked over the food menu and were happy to see they had both Roman style pizza crust options and cauliflower crust options. My wife ordered the pesto pizza on cauliflower crust with no cheese. I ordered the meat lovers pizza on the roman crust with no ranch dressing. My wife visited the women's restroom and reported they were spotless and well equipped. She even made a comment to Sam that she really appreciated the level of attention that is clearly put into the place to keep it clean and well kept. Our pizzas were ready about the same time as the band arrived to begin setting up for a 7:30pm show. We were told the band was a county music group that was really good. We've since started following the Playground on Facebook to keep up with their music offerings. We opened our pizza boxes and both pies looked delicious! My wife oohed and awed over each bite of her pizza and managed to eat the whole thing. I was equally pleased with my pizza but only managed to eat half since it contains a lot more dough than the cauliflower crust, but that leaves me with leftovers, which I love. Overall, this was a great experience and we will absolutely be back! We are also excited that we've found our new place to watch College Football this year. A big shoutout to Sam and the people at the Playground. You've created something really special in our neighborhood.
