Great family activity. However I really dislike that that charge 3.00 per card on top of the already high prices. Our server was fantastic. Speedy attentive service.

This place was amazing. Family loves it. Kids loved it. Very kid friend food and games. Fun for everyone. The ribs were well cooked and the bbq sauce was really good. The flavor was bold, with a good zing to it. 13 of us ordered different things on the menu and every one loved their food. Our waitress was very polite and did a great job serving us. The food came out hot and it didnt take very long to get it either. This place is huge. The game selection is awesome.

This is our new favorite spot for a family hangout. After one trip, our boys (2, 5, 6) were convinced that this was wayyy better than Chuck E Cheese. We spend about $150 here for a good 3-5 hours. Food is great and has decent variety, and the games are pretty fun and offer things for all ages.

Really like the scaled-down menu, nothing but the hits! Great place for a family trip, enough action to keep the kiddo busy but not too overwhelming. Games are pretty much great for everyone at every age and the price is real decent for how much entertainment time you get. A hundred bucks fed and entertained two adults and a ten year old for a couple hours non stop, cant beat that!

Wont come here for a group outing ever again!! They got 1 table for large groups & refuse to make any accommodations.. at a place like this you would think management would be friendlier but from the girl at the front to the bartender & the waiter plus management every single employee i had any interaction with had an attitude... the waiter was cool til we asked for our 2 other guests to join the table. Then that friendly niceties was replaced with a quick attitude

My experience was fantastic ! Indeed my birthday boy enjoyed himself. All games. All play. Very smooth I mean they cleaned the games after each play. Social distance the games a plus. Just overall great for children ! Drinks were yummy !!

We came in for a Birthday Party and the environment wasnt what eye thought it would be considering the pandemic. Unfortunately, eye am a vegan so eye cant speak to food options or how horrible the service was! All eye know is eye waited longer than expected on my 2nd beer, this is all eye had with a glass of water. My party told me how horrible the server was, how he forgot food, took too long, gave out the wrong drinks to the wrong person. Asked someone if they wanted their drink remade after someone else had their mouth on the straw. Some awkward stuff considering they wasnt too busy and it was a Sunday. Eye still enjoyed mycellf and eye am a server too, so eye know how difficult it is to keep up . PLEASE WRITE ORDERS DOWN IN A FASHION TO HELP YOU REMEMBER WHERE THEY GO AND HAVE A MANAGER COME SMOOTH IT OUT! PRO-TIP. They were nice overall. Happy we came out!

First time going to a Dave and Busters and it was like feeling like a kid with all the games and winning a prize. Especially considering it was my birthday.

Wonderful sports bar and arcade. Many classic and new arcade games. Plenty of space to play. Not a lot of customers but plenty of service personal.Food and beer was good. Beer glass was cold and it made my day watching the Twins play awhile my son got more credit on his play card.Staff were generous with giving extra credit on card.Saddest part of the day is the tickets gotten for certain games. Plenty of things to get but none that my son could get.Overall, pricy afternoon but fun. Would go back.

Really good food, and it’s not to expensive. Tonight was my very first time going on it did not take long for my food to come and I was in a party of 3 and we ordered a nice amount and they were pretty busy . We got to play games while we waited for our food & it was a very nice night .

HORRIBLE!! The manager Jeff Bollenbeck was RUDE and dismissive when I was trying to address conflicting information that employees gave me about a frontline workers discount. He refused to honor it and started yelling at me and my kids. He refused to give me the name of the district manager and made reference to you people (my family is black. I have never been treated with such disrespect! I hope Jeff remembers the way he treated us if he ever needs the care of a nurse!!

Very crowded. Difficult to maintain social distancing. Unimpressed by the lack of sanitizing. The one giant thing of hand sanitizer at the entrance smelled horrible and left my hands sticky. The bar service was very slow.

Went in today to eat and play games for Valentine’s Day. Our server, Xavier was AMAZING!! We enjoyed his positive and energetic personality. By far one of my favorite servers ever. I wanted to check this location out and I’m impressed. The Edina location definitely better than the other location in Minnesota. Will be back again soon!!!!

My niece had her 1st birthday down stairs at the Bounce House which was a great experience for the kids. The adults decided to go upstairs after for drinks and food. A party of 8 went first. Our initial experience with Rudy the hosts was good. The dining area was empty with only two separate parties. We were seated and ordered. The rest of the party arrived and was told by the hostess at the Main entrance the party can sit anywhere. Of course they seated themselves next to our party. Rudy, whom did not have a name tag on so we had to ask. Rudy walked up with a rude voice asking them to all get up because they can not seat themselves. My niece stated she was told to sit anywhere. Long story short...They were told to sit somewhere else and Rudy made a I told you so comment when my neice went to receive clarification from the main desk. The young lady apologized for the misunderstanding. Jeff the manager handled the situation like a professional. He apologized on Rudys behave. Im a manager and I know employees like Rudy. They will either play the victim or not learn from their unprofessional moments. I would give him another teaching on how to handle costumers, watch his behaviors and costumer service closely, and also do what my old manager did to us... He placed a secret shopper to see if we could handle any situation professionally. Good job to the server that served us she was great. Thanks Jeff. I gave 2 stars because good costumer service is A must.

I dont know what took me so long to check this place out. We had a great time and cant wait to go back. Food and drinks were awesome. Timing on everything was perfect. Great place to stop for some entertainment and feel like a kid again.

First time. Expectations were admittedly low but totally exceeded. Not sure how much money we spent but man, did we ever have fun! They have digitized/monetized some classic analog games like beer pong, Guitar Hero and bag toss. And I had a delicious Impossible Burger!

I always enjoy Dave & Busters for the whole family. Games are great for kids and adults (even kids vs adults). Also good food and drinks. Sign up for their rewards club and they will often send you coupons.

Review №34

Delivers as expected. Went to watch some football and grad some lunch. Screens for days, they showed all the games playing at once and the main game on the very large screen. Food was delicious. I had the wings and a variety of sauces. A friend had a burger and only could say great things about it. The kids came later and played in the arcade and had to go find them after the games. They had so much fun.

We expected busy and Came to eat and play anyway.. didnt eat as we were skipped by waitress not once but twice AFTER already talking to host desk...Probably wont be back to this location because of the terrible waitstaff...Games and time spent with kiddos was fun and worth it. We will try Maple Grove location in hopes their food/drink service is better.

Review №37

Very fun place to go with friends to! Only issues are many of the games were broken and needed to be fixed. However employees were quick to fix them and make sure we got our coins back! Also I was under the impression D&B was more of an adult arcade, but there were a lot of kids running around. Other than that very fun place to just forget about the real world!

Review №38

I found the place to be very loud inside, so much in fact, that it was very difficult to hear the person when we were getting a card to play games. The food was good. Had to ask to have my wifes glass refilled. The games were fun. Overall, not a bad place. Turn down the music some please!

Guess we were there on an off day, because Absolutely NO ONE came up to us, to ask for ANYTHING. Granite, we werent their to play for a long period of time. But we were just there for a nice lunch before moving on with our day. But NO ONE cared to ask us for anything. We sat down at a table, I saw a Waitress that looked our way, but she turned the other way, and walked away.

They asked for a review so I gave it. We found it to be overpriced and confusing compared to other arcades we have played. Maybe it was the night but multiple machines were malfunctioning and play was therefore disappointing. The food was good and fun though.

It seemed like every multi player game was broken. 4 player air hockey? Nope try two. 4 player tomb raider? Nope try 1. 4 player basketball? Machines arent linked. Pointing this out to a maintenance guy? Oh yeah I knew that was broken, they wont let me post a sign saying so This place is falling apart.

Review №61

Had a wonderful time! The drinks and food are delicious! The employees are helpful and patience! Never had a bad experience when I been here. The games actually let you win on like other places like DAVE & Busters. The only thing that is a little annoying is that there is one game that has one blue and one red boxers that are huge. I never got to play this game because it is always broken.The drinks tasting but the mixed drinks are a little weak, beer is the way to go! The fish and chips are really good! The burgers are really good too!The prices are a little high but average for this kind of entertainment. You can get discounts through there news letters online!

First off we sat at our table for a while before anybody came and took any sort of order and then my kids ordered drinks and got water first and had to wait another 10-15 minutes before their actual drinks came and the pop that I ordered was very flat and I need my Burgers well-done and my burger came out very red not the best service

Friendly service for food and drinks. Lots of game options. Helpful staff and fast tech services!! A game we wanted to play broke, and a technician was over in 2 minutes to fix it, and gave us a free round of games to cover the inconvenience. Unnecessary and very considerate! We had so much fun! Also, you can keep the light up cubes from the Ghost cocktail at the bar, but no one tells you that unless you ask.

Wilder vs fury fight tonight they charged 15 dollars to seat in bar along with higher than average prices on alcohol drinks and appetizers starting over 12.00$. it impossible to have a good time. it ruined my date night with wife and friends. Also I felt cheated because I believe not all people in bar and lounge area was charged. Not sure I will be coming back.

This place has horrible service. It is also quite overpriced. Their management needs to be retrained so they can properly train the staff. After spending years in customer service I would suggest you not waste your time coming here. Buy a PS4 and order pizza and wings!

Review №73

The food and drinks are incredibly expensive for no reason the alcoholic beverages are really watery hardly taste like alcohol... I come only for the games which lately have been broken half the time and no one to be found to fix it... You end up wasting points I’ve waisted probably a good 50 points just because I can’t find someone to help me and I give up I’m finding it hard to come back to a place that doesn’t really care about its customers

I sent in an email to corporate a few weeks ago. Basically i was told by a waitress to leave a table for being its only occupant because they were about to get busy. 10 minutes later i looked at the table to see that the table was again occupied by a lone man but was being served by the waitress. Changed to two stars, I enjoyed the beer.

The service from Kellis was the best. Seriously, hes amazing. Aside from that, the food was fine, nothing great. The cherry Coke I ordered tasted like cough syrup and the snowball my friend ordered was undrinkable. Our server made it right, so all in all the restaurant experience was fine. The game selection is very small and there are so many similar games.

Review №82

My two reasons for not leaving a 5-star are fairly minor, but seem to be reccurrent on all of our visits...1) the wait staff in the bar area (NOT the bartenders) is always inconsistent. Response time is usually slow regardless of how busy it is. And there are typically repeated requests for something...water, napkins, silverware, etc. 2) there always seems to be a high percentage of games that are not working or out of order. I dont think the rock em sock em robots has EVER worked. Again, very minor. Other than that, we love taking our family here. Our boys love it!

My friends & I decided to try out D&B for the first time., we expected it to be busy. There was a 30 minute wait to get us a table. So we played the games, but unfortunately there were a handful of games there were out of order. Once we got our table, the waitress was doing good at first, but she only came to us like once thru out the whole dining experience. My friend asked her for a refill she waited possibly more than 15 minutes to get the waitresses attention, & she responded “ok one sec” & just went to another table, like okay? Once she came to get my friends refill, she sat down the drink harsh on table. I get it, she’s frustrated & possibly stressed. But you didn’t have to be rude. Overall it was okay, hopefully next time it’s a better experience.

Will never go again, kids were disrespectful. On there website for that location it said 18+ only. Worst $40 spent on just game tokens. Didn’t even eat there, no clean tables, nobody servicing the bar. Couldn’t even play half the games cause they were broken.

Love the games, really like the food. Just wish it was quieter when I want to eat at the restaurant. I can barely hear other guests across the table. If there were better acoustics for dining Id rate it 5 stars. Just my personal preference for a quiet dinner.

Management was amazing with ensuring my son with allergies recieved safe food. Staff was all kind. Arcade was huge and very fun! And the prizes you won were all amazing. They are nothing like the 90s vampire light up teeth. The prizes range from cups, giant balls and glittery large purses all within easily reachable ticket ranges. Expensive but worth the price!
