We were greeted as soon as we entered and the staff was friendly and personable. Very welcoming. We visited on a Saturday night and it was not too crowded, leaving us with plenty of options to roam around and play any games. My old childhood favorites brought back memories...Galaga and the finger blistering Track & Field. They are located in the back area next to the movies. There is plenty of parking available. They currently sell soft drinks and I was informed they will soon have their liquor license to sell beer.

I'm always looking for ways to have fun without going to bar or going out to eat and spinners provided just that. They have two rows of pinball machines, old and new. They also have lots of arcade style games. All the games are set to free play and you pay one entrance price at the door that gets you all day access. Would recommend to anyone looking for some high quality fun!

This was the least labor intensive as a parent with the highest amount of smiles from the kids and other parents. Easy 5 stars!

This Dave & Buster's location had improved from its past which is a great sign! The lady who works…read moreat the front was friendly, attentive, and provided great customer service holding my mom's bag at the shelf in the front and offering to put my coat up for a coat check which was free of charge. She helped with the options for the game load cards, since it had been many years since the last time I had came here. It was nice to see a new reservation area and some fresh games. Now some of the games such as the racing games might move a little fast and some like the slot machine and the 4 way pong and Pacman games are not explained the best and can be confusing, while the basketball, skee-ball, and some of the shooter games are a bit more consistent offering amazing, fun, trilling, and exciting gameplay. Other games like the Ghostbusters and the UFC game right in the front are total letdowns. The axe throwing is apart of the fad with ax throwing and thank goodness the axes are plastic but the rubber board is hard to get the plastic axes to stick, but with proper technique it does work. I was excited with some of the new games and some of the old reliable ones in the arcade. DTSS Ellsworth Place had an adorable small independent arcade with Dance Dance Revolution and basketball game in it back in the day on a lower level, so it is great that D&B opened up almost around a decade ago to provide an arcade in a mall that was truly lacking and desperate to be brought back to relevancy. The restaurant food had improved a bit since the last time I was here pre-COVID, and the service was friendly but a bit slow and erratic at times certainly have to pack your patience, that is a running theme with Dave & Busters with the slow restaurant and bar. The place was clean and had hand sanitized wipes and clean tables throughout parts of the arcade which was splendid. Nobody with class and decorum want sticky tables with crumbs and liquid spills on them, so nice with having the tables and games clean and wiped down and floor vacuumed, big kudos! The patrons themselves can be an issue. Security had to inform a father with a kid that the dad let him climb one of the arcade machines standing on it to have the kid get off from the machine. This was dangerous and idiotic. Someone had a dog with a diaper on with a leash roaming around here trying to sniff people. That also was a poor decision even for an emotional support animal, all of the overstimulation and loud noise and tons of kids an adults, it just meant no sense to bring fido to the arcade. Why do people insist bringing these dogs everywhere these days and lack respect for boundaries especially with other human beings. It is if they have more respect for the dogs than the other patrons and not even paying attention and keeping up with the dog going around to other people there. The kids should also not be playing with balls in the actual restaurant/bar. That is the problem with the poor parenting and undisciplined children having a lot out here these days. I want the location to better enforce rules and regulations, however it has improved a great deal from its past which is nice!

I was…read morehoping it was just a fluke, but no matter where in the building I went, it's all I could smell. Went to the bar. Friend and I ordered a drink. Her wine was stale, and my espresso martini made me gag. It tasted like watered down milk. We left our drinks. My martini came out of a machine premade, so it wasn't the bar tenders fault. I decided to have some fun and put $60 on a card to play the ticket machines. That WAS fun until I accidentally dropped my card and this gigantic man with his family decided to pick it up and run off with it. They knew I saw them. They didn't care. Nice lesson for his children. Ugh. Columbia mall definitely has a rep now, but I was hoping this "family" place would feel safe. Oh well. It was a Friday night, so maybe that's why it was so bad. If I go back on a weekday, I'll update my review accordingly.

I met a friend here and we tried out the pool tables. They were a bit close together and we had to keep moving the small round drink table and stools out of the way in order to shoot. There were a lot of really young children here with a parent. They seemed to be having a great time. There were so many different types of games to play here - including bowling! The gentleman behind the counter was very patient about explaining how the process worked. We did have a good time, but our ears were ringing a bit after we left. I was surprised it wasn't very busy for a Saturday, but it was daylight and maybe it's different after dark. If you're looking for a place to play a variety of games, this is your place.

This place is chaos in the best possible way…read more Game On in the Merriweather District is basically your inner child with adult money. The arcade selection is legit. Not a couple random machines tucked in a corner, but enough games to keep you busy way longer than you planned. The cocktails? Oh they're gimmicky. Fully. And that's the fun of it. They're colorful, dramatic, a little extra, and totally fit the vibe. If you want a quiet, serious cocktail moment, this isn't that. If you want something playful in your hand while you dominate skee ball, you're in the right spot. Now the food -- this surprised me. The cheesesteak egg rolls are a must. Crispy, cheesy, packed with flavor. Absolutely order them. The buffalo chicken sliders were also a win. Messy in the best way, saucy, juicy, and perfect for grazing between games. What really made it though was the staff. They genuinely look like they're having a good time working there. Not fake smiles. Real energy. That kind of vibe changes everything and makes you want to hang out longer. Game On knows exactly what it is and leans all the way in. Fun first, good food, playful drinks, great energy. We'll be back.
