Great! I have a blast every time I come here! The food could be better but the waitress was awesome! We have fantastic seating with a nice size table, and a great view of the TV. What a wonderful way to enjoy the Mike Tyson vs Roy Jones Jr fight!
The whole family came and everyone got what they wanted. They offer food packages with a card that has credits on it for games. The game room is vast and amazing. I ordered sides. I had the roasted Brussels sprouts with caramelized onion and bacon along with the mac ñ cheese, and a side Caesar salad. The sprouts were a little too done, the bacon hard crisp, but chewable, and the mac ñ cheese was different. And a side of Guacamole. I dont know if the mac n cheese is made with a mild cheese sauce but the pasta was cork screw that held the sauce well. The Brussels sprouts are good, try them. My experience was that they were too done, but Ill try them again. My friend had the nachos. They came loaded down with everything you can put on nachos. Others ordered ribs, burgers, and pasta. My friend is vegan and was able to order his pasta vegan friendly.
The restaurant part of the business here isnt the greatest. Food isnt a wow factor and the drinks are sub par at best but thats just from my own experience. As for the games and the fun side of it all, Id say its a hit. Plus you can watch sports at the bar or while dining.
The service was slow but its also 2020. The environment was still fun, and I enjoyed the games there! All the machines were working and they have a great variety. Id do it again!
Its AMAZING that they carry/serve the Impossible Burger!!!! Its the first time Ive seen it on a menu in Utah. Its delicious! Its not so cool that you have to pay for it as a substitution when its really the only meal item that is vegan (without the cheese). Games are fun! Clean and upbeat atmosphere. The elevator was out of order also, today. Im not from the area and parking was not easy to find. The deals they offer are totally doable for a special fun night out with the family.
It’s been months since I came here because of COVID. The service at the bar was horrible. It took awhile for a server to come by. Make sure to order anything you want because you’ll never see the bar server again.My husband and I ordered our drinks. She came back and we order the brownie with ice cream. We waited. Our server didn’t come by to check if we were doing okay or if we wanted anything or said anything about our dessert. Really, really slow service!After almost 25 minutes and not getting our brownie, we flagged the server down to get our check but she didn’t want to come, so she sent someone else and we asked for the check. And right when we received our check, lo and behold our brownie came out! The server offered to box it up for us but we declined to take it. We wanted to enjoy it there, not take it home with us!Horrible service! Never going to the bar again! Might as well go to ‘Bout Time; not that far from Dave and Buster’s. Much better service!
Dave and busters isnt known for there food!! Limited menu but really simple dishes! Definitely just come for the games, drinks, and televisions!! Good customer service!! Great military discount!! Thanks for supporting D & B!!
I’ve been here a couple of times. The bar is great. Shay is awesome. She gave great suggestions. This will be my spot to visit moving forward. The chicken strips!!! The chicken strips!! So damn good. There were good vibes. Good people around. All around good time. The other time I went I was there with my son and he loved the games. I will be back. Highly recommended.
Extremely poor service and long wait times for food. Had to wait 2 hours on a quiet weeknight for food. Our server never once checked up on us after taking our orders. She had someone else drop off our food and disappeared. Had to get up and find a different server just to get my check. Never got refills for my drinks.
All the games are totally awesome to play, the drinks are great, the waiters are all nice and awesome, and its just an all around great place to hang with friends! If you havent been here yet, I urge you to give it a try!
The host was friendly and our server was helpful and prompt. Burger was overcooked/burnt, first time I havent finished eating what I ordered in quite awhile... There is a large selection of arcade style games. Games and food are priced a bit high. They stop serving food at 9:30 on Friday night due to Covid - what does that even mean?.
Love it! Great date night and great food. Spend the evening in one place and have tons of fun!
Great service. Solid management. Lots of fun!
Very impressed with the food they serve here. I love that they had a substitute for noodles, zucchini noodles! It was the tastiest chicken Alfredo dish Ive had in a while. Even better as left overs the next day. The games are way fun and theyve go a nice bar area too. Recommend for fun group outing/dates.
Arcade games. You cant take any alcohol while playing games. Utah laws, am I right? Food was okay. Ordered three things for the group to share. The pizza bites were great! The others were a thumbs down. So much garlic & not enough cheese in the cheese fondue dish. Mac & cheese wasnt bad. A lot of food options though.
Nice bar with lots of huge TVs. Drink prices were fair and the food was good. I had sliders with ribs. Burgers were great. Ribs were a little heavy on the sauce, but cooked just right.The games were fun. Good variety of what youd typically see in an arcade. I had a great time.
Food was good, place was clean. Customer service at the awards area was great! Had the boneless buffalo bites and they were very good.Games are a bit expensive but there are tons and a good variety! Fun place for the whole family.
If you love great food and games this was the place to be.Author Anita Johnson-Brown
Everyone here is very happy and having fun all the time. Their front desk crews are just amazing and very kind. Everyone who works here is amazing and 100% guarantee that you will enjoy your time here
It was fun the arcade, it was nice that during covid is open. However, the food was overpriced and obviously frozen products that are just heated and served
I got the eat and play deal. (I believe that is what is called) and ordered a few drinks. The food and drinks were great. The apple snow cone drink is so good. The service was a bit slow but they were understaffed, so not a big deal. My only complaint is the games are pretty expensive most of them costing between 6 and 10 points, so get at least the 100 point card to make sure you have enough to last you a bit.
I brought my whole family and we had a blast. Yes, it is a little more expensive but you are paying for premium machines and much better prizes. The tickets arent hard to get and you can choose anything from basketballs to teddy bears.The majority of the bad reviews are about the bar area/service. I talked to some of the staff here and theyre trying to hire more people but the supply simply isnt there. Id avoid coming here Friday and Saturday nights to ensure a pleasant experience.I talked to their corporate sales consultant, Natalie Ferreira. She was extremely friendly and didnt hesitate to answer my questions. I even challenged her in some games! The reason theyre understaffed is pretty simple: This is a brand new location. They didnt expect so many customers. Give them some time and theyll catch up.Overall, you do get what you paid for: A clean and safe facility with multiple games and party rooms to choose from. If they had a separate review system that would exclude the Friday and Saturday night reviews, this place would have 5 star review all around.
Had a great time, not crowded, very clean.
If you love eating food and playing the arcade, this is the place for you! Food quality is fantastic, service is great, games are fun, everything is great about this place! This place is a bit pricy, but if you have a little extra bit to spend, its truly worthwhile! The arcade is very big with a large variety of games, and a brand new VR station with moving chairs, which is probably the star of the whole arcade! I just wish Dave & Busters was in more than just bigger cities than just Salt Lake. Still a great place to go if you end up in Salt Lake City and want some fun and games!
Everyone was super nice. Its open and needs to be more busy!
Food was mediocre drinks were good games were cool!
This place could be the place to have fun on the weekends if only the restaurant aspect was more organized and coordinated. That was the longest part of our night, waiting 45-60 minutes to be seated while seats were empty. The food itself is fantastic and the gaming area is top notch. Our waiter was great, super engaging and I never had to ask for a refill. It is a fun place to be. If they could fix the efficiency aspect then this is going to be a big hit place for gateway.
I wish I could give no stars. I would highly recommend this place if you enjoy very slow service. Make sure to order your next drink, when they bring you your most recent one...or you will wait forever. While youre at it be sure to give their Philly cheese steak a try. I thoroughly enjoyed staying up till 4 a.m. puking my guts out. Its been fun having to spend my holiday with food poisoning. I have never been so sick. The games were fun.
Really fun place to go! TVs everywhere, perfect place to watch a game. Food was adequate and over priced, service was fair to poor. Next time we go we will eat someplace else and just go for the games.
My group and I seated ourselves and it took about 15 minutes before a server even gave us menus. Our server let us know they were busy but there were a lot of empty tables around us and the bar didn’t seem to be filled with people. We sat in our booth for 2 hours! The food came out cold and tasteless! Terrible service and extremely understaffed. The arcade portion was fine. I’d recommend eating somewhere else before coming here. I hope they can improve on their service they have all of the tools they need. They just have to utilize them correctly. Their Funtion 1 room is fine as well not very big though.
Great bar staff. Went to watch the game and only ordered water and a slice of cake.....yet they served me like I was paying $100 for a meal. Great service.
Wouldn’t take my valid coupon. Hostess was very rude! Manager was young and inexperienced and didn’t know how to handle difficult situations!
No, that was a misunderstanding, it was supposed to be four, and we had a great experience there!!
I wait in the karaoke area for 15 min no drink. So I go to the bar and order a bud light. Standing there like a normal person at a normal bar. AFTER she gives it to me she says I have to drink it at the bar. Why would I be standing here rather than sitting in one of the 12 empty seats if I wasnt planning on leaving?And it was $5. For a small bud light draft.Nice people. Cool place. Too expensive. Weird rules.*edit, went back the next Sunday for karaoke again and took 4 kids. It took over 50 minutes to get a water for my thirsty kids and food came at around an hour. Not sure if its the whole restaurant or just that karaoke area on the far north side, but they need to figure something out. Had to drop it another star.
Excellent service, friendly staff, delicious food.
Decent food and drinks. Weird that you cannot drink by the games, but must be Utah (visiting here from California). The games are recent and in good, working order. Service is attentive and helpful.
The food was pretty good, beer was about average price. The arcade was pretty awesome. All in all it was a really fun, but you could eat through $100 easily, especially if you get dinner. It was really fun but also really expensive.
The food was pretty good and the games were great. The service was a little slow otherwise this would be a 5 star. But the best thing about it was the pricing on the prizes. I got a full sized stuffed animal for only like 1300 tickets when at another arcade it would have been at least twice that.
Arcade looks fun but Im here to tell you make sure you bring your check book and your patience you will need them both here! Game cards are very pricey, and some of the games they have there take upwards $2 range, also food and drink service is absolutely horrible, that alone is bad enough for me not to go again 20 minutes to bring out a drink, seems like bad management, the only thing I was impressed with was how well we were greeted when we walked in hopefully they can get it figured out because the last arcade I knew about didnt make it long because of these exact reasons
Good fun and clean place to come eat and play! We came here for a quick round of arcade games and was happy with the experience. The arcade area was clean and the staff was super nice when we had an issue with one of the games. They were very friendly and willing to come see the issues and even gave us some bonus cards as an apology for the inconvenience. Would definitely recommend! The only downside here is that they do not validate, but I think thats a lot of the stores now at the Gateway.
I read a lot of reviews from people who had issues with the service or food before we went this past Friday, and I just wanted to add my own voice. We had no issues! We were seated super fast since there was room at the bar. I asked the bartender if our food would come fast because we had to make a movie. He was very accommodating!!! The food came fast!! And the food was GOOD! We came for the impossible burger, and wow! It was amazing, and the Dave& Busters atmosphere made it taste all the better! The establishment is massive and cool! The arcade game selection was good! The only thing was that some of the games cost a lot to play, but it seemed overall fair to me. They had a lot of basketball games that my husband loved and your regular arcade games. And there were soooooo many of them! Really glad we came. Oh, and the girls that sold me our ticket card were so nice. They said I had a nice smile. Aw.
If you are going for the games it is a great place for a young crowd, however there are lots of kids. My nachos took about 30 minutes and when they arrived they came out cold and a bit soggy. The steak if call it that, on the nachos tasted terrible. The manager/supervisor was consistently reminding the serving staff that food was ready but they still did not promptly retrieve the food. Several of the servers were all complaining about other staff members and also the patrons. As a side note, the bathroom were clean.
I came on a Thursday with a pretty big group, our waiter forgot about us and we ended up only getting 2 plates of “unlimited wings” each. Most likely not coming back.
The food is good but the games are the reason I give this place 5 stars. Theyre all new, large, and lots of fun. I recommend the Tomb Raider and Kung Fu Panda games. Wednesdays are half off games!
Best place to spend time with my family!
Horrible service. Went this past Saturday for my sisters birthday. About 14 people in our group. So we understood wed have to be patient. It took 45min to get our check after asking for it. She never got the check right. Forgot to have us pay for one meal so we had to also ask for that check. The food was not anything special cold. I ordered a burger& got my fried 5 min. Later. Someone ordered cheese curds as an appetizer; received them with them meal. It was served cold so asked to get fresh curds. And never received them. No one got a refill on their drinks. Wont return. Spent $200 for me & my two daughters. Definitely not worth it.
Fun place to take your family or just go on a date. They have lots of great games afew for player games and the food is good.
You cannot bring your alcoholic beverage into the arcade area. Major turn-off. When I was last here bar service was very poor. Bartender was rude, slow, and generally inattentive and unprofessional. 3-5 people walked out after 1 10 minutes of waiting to be attended to without so much of an acknowledgement by the bar staff. Asked for my ID every time and copped an attitude when having to explain the “Utah Must order food with alcohol rule”. That being said, I missed placed my wallet while there and it was recovered and the host desk and managers were super nice, professional and helpful.
Arcade is well maintained and there are some unique games, but not sure if it justifies the higher price of the games when compared to a nickel arcade. Ticket based games tend to be more than others, so this is not where youd take your kids to ticket hunt. Prizes are a bit better, but not by enough. Id suggest sticking to the unique games, like the Marvel fighter, instead.Food is great, drinks are unique n tasty, but again are a bit pricey when compared to a BWs.The fact that both of these things are in the same restaurant though are pretty awesome, and both despite being a little more $$$ are still great.
Was not that busy but took for ever to seat. After sitting took way to long for a server to come to our table. Food was slow to come. Food was decent. Was fresh and warm at least. Service was nice and friendly.
Firstly, they have a tab policy which requires that they hold on to one of your credit cards as collateral while you eat. That is enough to leave a poor review. But beyond that, the service was terrible! We were told it would be a 5-10 minute wait for a table. After half an hour, we asked how much longer. We were told that our table had been ready for 20 minutes, but we werent notified. Nobody gave us silverware or napkins. When my wife asked our waiter for some, we were brought only one set. We had to share between the 2 of us. Oh, and our drinks were never refilled! This place is fine for games, but do not eat here.
I had the impossible burger and it was pretty decent.
We enjoy going here for date nights without the kids. We enjoy to play games like kids again. They have some really fun games here. The downfall is not being able to take drinks to the game floor. Also, in order to buy drinks you have to purchase food also. So it makes it a little difficult to be able to have some drinks and have a good time unless you plan on eating here as well, but it does tend to get pricey. Other than that its always a good time. Never had any experience when I was wowed by the staff but hasnt bothered us at all
Good for adults and kids alike! Wide variety of games, great food, and sports bar atmosphere in the bar area. Almost too much fun!
I love Dave & Busters. When I walked in I was immediately greeted. The place is clean. Its for people of all ages. The food is also good. I think this is a place that everyone should check out!
Good food and drinks, great atmosphere. Very fun place but is on the more expensive side. I wouldnt suggest going to eat there during a big game or match, it gets incredibly busy and the wait staff cant keep up.
This place is awesome! Im so glad to see one of these in Salt Lake City! Great food, service, and super huge arcade!!! Hope that this place is here to stay!
Its fun for a little bit but, the games are a bit dated and/or are app games put into arcade form. Its a novelty, and good for a diversion with a group of friends for like an hour or two. Personally wouldnt really want to go there again.
Not impressed. The staff was friendly and the piece was well put together. The food was just all right. The worst was the fries. They can out hot but still managed to be super chewy and over salted. Prices for games was a bit steep as well. Its just a video game..
We had a terrible experience at the restaurant. Our waitress took 20 minutes to come and take our drink order. While taking food order she seemed really annoyed. After taking our order, we waited 30 minutes and finally asked the waitress if we were going to get our appetizer. She said she would check on it and when she came back it hadn’t even been started yet. Once we got our food we never ended up getting the appetizer and just told her to forget it. We never got a drink refill or checked up on. Terrible experience.
Used do be more for adults but there were so many kids. Didnt try the food or drinks, just the games. My whole group thought the games were just okay. And its pricey.Edit- reply- Id love to come try the food!
My husband and I went to go see UFC 232 there. They had a lot of staff but seemed to be a bit disorganized. Several tables stayed empty while wait times were 45min and above. The staff were incredibly hospitable and accommodating. We snuck in. Our waitress seemed a bit disinterested but we spoke to a lot of the staff, as they all had an interest in our satisfaction. An incredibly friendly bunch of people. We had a great time.
The wait was extremely long and the food came out cold. The food was brought out again and it was burnt. Diced tomatoes here are classified by Pico here too. Some staff is friendly and some have had better days (maybe). Leave it to Utah to make this amazing place, no fun. I’d suggest save your time and money and just skip the food and go to the games. Danette was hands down the best thing about here.
Love this place but especially on Wednesdays because its half off games! Double the fun! Its a 4 star only because the food isnt as great and that we cant have liquor on the floor but I know thats a Utah thing.
Prices are affordable if its just you and your spouse. But it can cost a lot with the whole family. All around still very fun. I always eat before going though.
Daven busters serves cheap food at premium prices. They can’t even get the top NFL football games on their TVs. Expect long waits and poor service. Unfortunately I’ve had this experience five out of the five times I’ve been to Dave & Buster’s.Save your money and your patience. Go to Buffalo Wild Wings- they may not have the arcade games but they can get a good game on the TV.
Hubby, 3 year old and myself had a great time. Busy place. Food was good. Waitress was great, just very busy.
Really fun, and great that they had a full serve bar too. I just wish they would let alcohol go past just the restaurant area to enjoy WITH all the games.
Worst dining experience Ive had in a very long time, my order was taken to another table by mistake after an already very long wait, I did not receive my food (which was cold) until 15 minutes after my party had already finished their meals. I definitely will not be returning. Might I add they were not even remotely busy during this whole ordeal.
First time my husband and I have been there. I do wish that where we were eating was a little quieter so he and I could have a conversation but over all was great. Awesome server and great food!!
We always sit in the bar for dinner. Bearded deep voice man always waits on us. Hes so cool. He anticipates everything you you want to eat and drink. Food is always excellent.
So much fun! Its definitely a bigger bill than the nickelcade but its a much bigger experience too. GREAT games and GREAT food!
Dave and Busters is always a great time if you like racing or that arcade style of gun game, think the t2 arcade game when we were all younger.I thought it was incredibly strange thatour side of ranch and french fries sauce was extra with our chicken and fries meal.My daughter enjoyed the mac and cheese the chicken was great, the nachos have been better in the past but they werent bad this time still very filling.Dave and Busters is an experience and if youre going there for the games you will have a blast. Small caveat there arent many games that three can play at once because a little difficult for my wife daughter and I.I hope this!
The food is terrible with even worse service.Had to ask 4 separate times for water.The veggies look like frozen broccoli, just microwaved. The chicken was very mediocre and it took waay too long even to get the order in.The games were wonderful and fun. Just save your money and eat at home first
Love the games here! Can spend hours playing. Good is delicious also, but kind of pricey. Still worth it
The ONLY reason I am giving this a 5 star review is because of Danette and Kelly, because they treated us with respect and were extremely courteous. After a multitude of issues, these two women took care of us. We requested a different server because our original server, Shay, didn’t check on us for over 45 minutes. So when Danette walked by she checked on us MULTIPLE times. It was at that point we closed out our tab with Shay, and were proudly served by Danette. I feel a bad for Danette though because the tall, African American manager YELLED at her for us REQUESTING her to take care of us. Which is beyond unprofessional, especially on the floor. Kelly took care of us after someone caught a homeless man eating our food off of our plate while we were off playing games. She was professional and very kind. And checked in us multiple times as well throughout our stay.Shay-Manager= 0 Stars Danette-Kelly = 5 Stars ️
Called at 8pm last night asked if the unlimited wings for the 20 bucks was running today Sunday. They say yes. Come in today Get told that deal doesnt go on today. They cant honor it. Even though we called yesterday specifically about today. Fave us an appetizer free but wouldnt work with our party of 10 at all. We drove over 12 miles for this.... so disappointed
Service sucks, we waited for an hour to have someone take our order. Then I waited more when the cook said that the nachos didnt look the way he wanted them to be. The food is not bad however its not worth the price they are charging and it was served cold. You are looking at $35 per person to eat.The alcohol menu has many options but again the prices are high. $5 shot of cheap vodka... we, a party of 6 was so disappointed that we didnt get to the game section. You cant drink and play at the same time here. If you want a good time eat somewhere nice than go to Quarters arcade bar...
I had fun here. They have tons of arcade games and they also have TVs with every sport game or event you could imagine. Something for everyone to do. The prices are a little high, but they have cool prizes for tickets and their food is just OK
Dave and buster was a lot of fun. Good food and up to date games.
Wow. Took an hour to get our food after we got seated. Then they forgot one of our entrees. Then after another 30 minutes of waiting they brought the missing entree but left out the side and never brought it out. Subpar service, decent food
Super fun! My son and I had our boys night here. Food was decent but gameplay was great!
Fun place for food and entertainment. Probably spend like 2 hours here. Fun to bring the kiddos
Cool place. Attended a work party here. Typical pub style food and cool arcade games with alcohol. What more could you ask for? We had a great time!
We were treated great! Friendly Service! Loved the Food!! The french fries could use a tad of work though! Overall a great place to enjoy yourself!!!
Went out for some food and it happened to be Superbowl Monday. Food took 45 min to get out fries were over cooked and burgers were plain. Over all was a great place just wish the food was little better. Manager was the best. She made sure we were taken care of.
Came in about 12:40 PM and spoke with the hostess. The restaurant seemed slow because there wasnt a lot of people dining in or gaming. She told me there would be a 15-20 min wait to be seated. I replied why theres nobody in here and she replied there are jazz games and the boxing fight tonight to which I replied isnt that tonight? So we basically got nowhere still had to put in my name to be seated in the basically dead restaurant. After about 5 minutes of sitting and waiting to be seated at all of the available tables in my view we got up and left. Im fine with waiting to be seated if theres a packed house or a big party. I didnt see any of that. Wont be coming back because of this. Hope this helps out any new D&B CUSTOMERS.
This is disgusting. I slipped on this grease covering the entire driveway to your delivery bay. Please clean right away. This is our neighborhood and you should respect that. Plus the smell emitting from here is awful. I can only imagine the quality of your food suffering due to this filth.
Had the pleasure of spending the time with my daughter at Dave and busters, we ordered pasta it was cooked perfectly! Rob was our Server, and he was incredibly kind and accommodating!
Fun for games and being a kid again. Food and drinks are priced well.For hosting a corporate party - not the most top notch awareness from staff and catering but the food has always been good.
I love the Salt Lake City Dave and Busters! There is so much to do, and I love the karaoke on Sundays. The staff is super friendly, and the salmon is delicious!
Took the teenagers here and had a blast!! Lots of games you cant find at other places! Many 4 player games that make it great for a group or double date! Definitely more if an adult atmosphere which made it nice to not have lots of littles running around.
When we showed up there was not a big crowd. We ordered our food and it took over 40 minutes from the time we ordered our food until it was delivered to our table. Our waitress did not once come and check on us or let us know there was delay.When we finally got our food, it was like they just threw on cold mushrooms on my wifes Philly cheese-steak instead of cooking the mushrooms with the steak.Between the time we finished eating and the time the waitress was able to check us out it was over 20 minutes.
We come for bingo every tuesday and have always had a great time but last night might be the last night we go or in the very least last time we eat food there. Our waitress was busy paying attention to a table of very young kids and at times going over and eating off their table. As soon as I noticed that I was finished eating. It was hard enough to get her to come for refills let alone ask to speak to a manager. I have bragged about this establishment now Im kinda worried about sending people there because she wasnt on break, she would go take a few bites and go visit another table. Please solve this issue we would like to continue coming and enjoying our family night but thats a HUGE sanitary issue
Kind of a joke of a meal the food took 45 minutes to come tortillas on the chicken soft tacos were dried out and crunchy. When I sent it back I asked to change my meal to a steak sandwich it took another 45 minutes to bring the second plate out and they brought a lobster pasta dish instead of the steak sandwich. One of my friends ordered the chicken sticks and fries and hers came seconds before my second dish showed up so she was waiting over an hour and a half to get her meal. I know what youre thinking maybe it was just really busy but no we went in the middle of the day and almost all of the tables were empty
Good games, average wings, not so great waitresses. The manager was good.
Nice place. Weve been invited to birthday party and definitely want to come back
Food was awesome I had thr fire grilled salmon was definitely worth it games are a little pricey but hey you forget tickets for prizes so it evens out. Also our server was a relaxed man that knew how to deal with kids and I appreciate it. Will continue to dine and play at this place. Food prices were pretty good compared to most restaurants.
Wonderful service from Megan! Cute long blonde hair! (Dont know a last name) she was a phenomenal waitress. The food was delicious! And it was a fun family friendly experience! Very prompt service and was made to feel welcome the second we walked in 10/10 would recommend and definitely be coming back to see Megan!
Spacious area with perfect lighting, the conference room was spotless and the staff very accommodating. New, updated games were abundant and was an all around a good time. Will certainly be returning.
