First of all this place smelled amazing!!!! And not talking food smell. It smelled like very pleasant perfume. I thought it was just me but apparently they hear this a lot. Our waiter was extremely pleasant, the drinks were amazing and the atmosphere was awesome. The food came out fresh and fast the fried cheese curds are to die for. They had a huge selection of games for all ages and likes. I would recommend this place for sure.

The manager Brandon was awesome and made it more fun for my kids. Because of him and his great hospitality, I will definitely take my kids there again. The bartender Taylor was also wonderful.

This place is pretty good. The food was above average but not stellar. The cost was good. We went with a family of 4 and ate for around 100 dollars and bought the premier 56 dollar token package which lasted us about 3 hours.The service on the other hand was subpar. Having to track down our waitress and flag down other waiters for drink refills is never fun. Management seemed to be absent all together as when we asked to talk to one they never showed up. It was not a huge deal and we wanted to enjoy our time so we brushed it off.I would go back due to the affordability. Its around the same price for a family of 4 to go see a movie now a days so for a few extra bucks to get a full meal out of it is worth it to me.

We just had our daughters 10th Birthday Party at D&B and it was awesome. We had a private party room that was set up so nicely. The look and feel of the room was appropriate. The set up was nice for the kids and the adults. The buffet was perfect; definitely choices fit for our group. The food was good; hot and tasty. It stayed hot throughout. The service from reservation, planning (Melissa) to service (Al/Mark) finish was top shelf. The price and value are phenomenal especially for the in between age of 10 years old. The customer was the priority and they made sure we had a good time. They were personable and fun! Everyone had an awesome time! We definitely recommend D&B as the place to be for fun games and parties. You will not be disappointed. Kudos to the team! Thank you for a wonderful time today!!!

Went there with some friends yesterday. It was a great atmosphere all around! The staff were friendly. We were seated incredibly quickly, and the food was amazing. The games were all clean and so were the floors. The tokens are really overpriced for what you get back in tickets, but what can you expect its an arcade. Overall an amazing experience I wont soon forget.

It was so much fun! We had a team building activity there. It was a lot of fun. While it was hard to hear over the mucus, it was still a great chance to work with the team overall. I had a blast hanging out afterwards. There are so many new games! I had no idea!!

Food wasnt bad but prices are extremely high. Waiter was nice and attentive but then took 35 minutes to bring bill. They claim it is kid friendly but there was not much for kids. Big rip off.

Not a bad place to enjoy a fun night out. The marketplace mall overall is trying to get things back in order after moving to the outlet mall model. Overall its a fun place to stop and enjoy, including this Dave and Busters

Just like the name says, its a fun place to eat and drink. Definitely need a power card of you dont have one! Youll get specials on everything, kinda like in Vegas when you get the casino card! Keep an eye on what specials are on what days as you can sometimes double your play points!Fun for groups, but not really somewhere youd go solo for a drink.

I love it there this is where the place that you can eat food drink and play games all at the same time. I bring my kids all the time. You can win tickets and buy stuff like a coffee mug or toys or an Xbox One.

We had a very nice time for a family gathering at Dave and Busters in February 2020. The service was very good and the food was excellent. Our family had so much fun with all of the games available as well. Thank you to the staff for a great experience.

I went for the first time today with my 19 year old to the one in Henrietta . This was a wonderfull experience, all the employees were so kind and helpful . And the one waiter Kris was so professional and on point with everything he did. Ask for him to be your server in the restaurant if you eat there. You wont be disappointed I promise . Good job Dave and Busters

The 7yo birthday boy got a flashy ice cube. That turned my 2 star to a 5 star!BTW, would have been great if there were hand sanitizers, sporadically placed throughout the arcade!!

This is a really fun place for kids and adults. The menu is your typical pub fare. On weekends, it can get super packed and have a long wait, up to an hour, to be seated for dinner. If you grew up with arcades like FYE and other places that have largely gone extinct, youll love it here.

Super fun place to go out to eat. Great drinks too! We ordered food and then played in the arcade. The arcade can become crowded but its really not that bad. They also have security on weekends who patrol and keep everything in order. I hit the jackpot on one of the machines so we were able to get quite a bit of stuff from the store. It was a pretty fun time.

First off, if you havent been here... GO! Everything about the place was great except for the cost (which was a little high in my opinion). I started with dinner, which was way better than I expected it to be. Being that its a chain, I expected the typical chain restaurant food. The menu had lots of really good options, again... I wouldnt expect from a chain. I ended up getting the handmade fried chicken sandwich and I would give it a 5/5 (I will actually go back just to have that sandwich again). The decor is very modern and very tastefully done. It was completely isolated from the gaming/bar area. It really felt I like I was eating in some modern restaurant, that you would typically find downtown. They could have had a better beer selection, but they did at least have beer on draft. The wait staff we had was very polite and professional. That is something that lacks, at almost every place I go to these days. The food didnt take long to arrive and as I mentioned was very good. Once we completed eating, we went into the gaming area which was very friendly and lively. They had a decent selection of games, all of which would be very fun for kids (there also was some more older crowd games in the back for adults). There was always something available and you never had to wait to long to play if it was busy (this is one of the downsides I will touch on at the end). All in all, it was a great time and I will definitely do it again. With that being said, these are the things that made me not give a 5 star review. You have to purchase a card to be able to play the games (the card should be free in my opinion). Then once you have the card, you have to purchase tokens to play (as you would expect). Not knowing how much the games consumed, we purchased $25 of tokens (I think it was $28 with the card fee). I would say within an hour, all of those tokens were gone (only 1 child played the games). We didnt just blow through all the tokens either. We walked around checking out the games and selecting the ones the child wanted to play. Some of the games lasted for only a few minutes at best. I understand the business model. However, f we you had a family of 4 (Mom, Dad and 2 kids) and went here and had the same experience we did... it would end up costing you over $200 easily (we did purchase a few alcoholic drinks during the stay... which seems to fit with the motif if you will). I wish I had taken some pictures to share (I will the next time for sure). I would definitely recommend this place to anyone I know. It really offers something for everyone and for all ages.

If you are a college student or an adult this place it’s good to go. I recommend to go late, around 10pm (they close at 2) and enjoy the games with a more calm environment. The food was ok, the margarita was too pricy but it was good. The manager in charge (during the night shift) it’s really helpful. One front desk guy(he was blond), don’t know his name was rude, I went asking if they saw my phone ( I lost it) and he told me the desk was close for the night and didn’t help me. The manager in charge did and I found my phone.

Our server was above average, yet not great for how quiet it was. On the same note, our wings took quite a bit to come out on a day when unlimited wings are a promotion.Other than that, its a great experience for the family!

Review №34

Last year I hosted my 30th birthday here and everyone had a great time, so this year I hosted my boyfriend surprise 30th here and it was a hit. The party room is roomy enough for about 30 people and the food/drink package was really reasonably priced. The entire party for about 25 people cost around $1200 with a buffet of burgers, nachos, pizza, and chicken fingers as well as unlimited coffee/soft drinks. This price also included the room rental, 25 alcohol drink tickets, and $15 game cards for each guest.I had a great experience with everyone in person. My only frustration is that they have you plan your party with a representative who is out of state. For both parties, the out of state rep became nonresponsive as we got close to the event and I needed to call the location directly to get someone to finalize details with me.

Its ok....good selection of games, but it takes mucho credits per play!i only went in because i downloaded the D&B app that would give me free $20 play- the catch was the $20 would be loaded via the app.*surprise---app just kept giving me errors!the $42 i loaded lasted the fam & I approx 20 mins-so not a great value @ $20 per 10 mins

Great food, great games, great family fun. Going in you know your going to spend a good bit of money, but its totally worth every penny. Especially watching your kid(s) having fun. My son LOVED his glow in the dark drink, btw. He still talks about it and its been 2 weeks!! Lol

Lots of fun, plenty of games, Prizes are relatively god quality. Best saving are on Wednesdays when all games are half off. Get a better deal when you get their mobile app, they have a buy $20 of games and get $20 free. I usually redeem the coupon before Wednesday on the app and accumulate the points until Im free to go on a Wednesday and Ill have plenty of points to play. You can also dine or enjoy the bar. Their food is actually pretty good.

Review №60

Food is good for a chain, but expensive. The drinks seemed to be watered down, but that is sort of expected since most everything is a fruity mixed drink. The games are mindless fun, but their system of purposefully obscuring the real cost of games by using points is a bit sketchy. If you go, be conscious of how much the games are actually costing you. Other than that, fun way of spending an evening, just be ready to open your wallet.

Review №64

I usually take my son to D&B on Wednesday’s because the games are half off. We always have a great time; no waiting and games are always operating he enjoys it.What I don’t enjoy is the hospitality in the dining section the past two weeks. The people at the front say to pick a table and a someone will be with you shortly. It’s now been 20 minutes with no service, not even drinks. We seen servers come back and forth but never to our table. Went to the front to complain and waited another 5-10 minutes. My son (who’s 6) is already to finish playing games and getting very antsy. So once we realized we were getting served we just finished up our games and grabbed something to eat from the mall. Actually much cheaper as well.All in all we enjoy ourselves on the arcade side, I doubt we’d ever dine there again.

A little bit of advice... EAT BEFORE you come here. The games are fun. However the food is a arm and a leg and one word for the food GROSS. The bar has great drinks though.So now we always ride over to Dibellas grab a sub then take a ride to Dave and busters and all that saved money on the food gets used for tokens.

Our family wanted to get together for same laughs and a good time after a extremely stressful week. A place where we could unwind as well as our kids. So what better place than dave and busters the atmosphere was awesome they even brought out a dinosaur for the younger kids to engage with. We also had dinner which was great however the kitchen staff need to make sure orders are put out the way they are ordered. We had to wait almost 45 minutes for our food and 2 of our family members got thier food way after we were done with ours. Eventhough that happened it didnt taint our evening. But you do you eat there ask for your waiter to be moe. He was awesome!!!!!

We went for my sons 13th birthday. The food was alright, but the service was terrible and took very long for the amount of people that were in the dining area. The waitress get saying she would be back in a minute and then didnt return for a long time. It was my first time going and for a party of 5 spending $160 for lunch I will never go again.

Review №80

Dave and Busters is weak! Our server was not interested in his job. It took 30 minutes to get a drink. 2 beers over 8 bucks! Burger and fries were Luke warm. Wife got tacos. The food was like 30 bucks. We got the prepaid cards for games 10.00 each. Our experience was 85.00. After about 45 minutes of waiting for a second beer. And to have a tv channel moved, so I didnt have to break my neck. The waiter came back 30 minutes later for our food order. Glad I at least experienced it. But Im never going back. Too expensive and not worth the b*******.

This was a nice spot for a night out. Its basically a Chuck E. Cheese for adults, which is definitely a win. We ate in, and the food we had was really delicious, and our waitress, Glynn, was a sweetheart. Will definitely be coming here again. The only downside is that between eating and playing, you can end up spending quite a bit here.

I love places like this. Can watch sports and play games and there is something for everyone there. Food is decent as well, only thing I have an issue with is the customer service.Def needs some work here. Ive walked up front and no one is standing there sometimes and also Ive sat at the bar with no one around and it takes 10 to 20 min for someone to acknowledge me. Managers are always cool though and have resolved things for me when they arise. The pros outweigh the cons but employees should be a little more interactive with their customers.

Myself and 2 others visited this location during their Half Price day, yet still spent a pretty penny and didnt even eat or drink anything.The till attendants Were pretty nice.I find it brutal that D&B started charging a $3 activation charge for new cards. At worse each card costs about what? $0.10 to produce if that. Knowing this I brought with me a couple cards that were from a visit some time ago. Said cards still came up as New tho. In the interest of D&B a lot of their games will be oddly priced. Like hey swipe your card here and play this game for 4.3 or this one for 4.9 chips as an example.Like really? Also their card readers are shotty at best requiring multiple attempts for them to register successfully.Hadnt tried the virtual reality attraction before so we decided to give it a shot. Within 1 minute in, the images started to flip in a non normal fashion and distort themselves never to correct itself during the life of the experience. When it was brought up to the attendants attention she brushed it off starting that it can happen if you move too much, it probably glitched out Ill have to have someone look at it sum odd $20 later. With no attempt to rectify the bad experience, I was better off taking the cash to the parking lot and setting it on fire.

This location is still very busy on the weekends. Not necessarily too busy, but busy enough to feel like it actually has an atmosphere. Be prepared to wait for a table on the weekends (but of course you have the games while you wait). They also have a one drink per ID policy so keep that in mind if you are ordering for your friends. They also have the impossible burger, which is the best imitation burger I have had yet.
