Dave & Busters sells itself as an arcade/ restaurant/ bar. I don't believe they truly come across as a "good", either one of those. My wife and I met with a fellow couple to enjoy a night out. The line is ot the door as the clumsy staff tries to organize two lines. One line which sells food packages with game cards another which sells just game cards. The trick here is get on the shirt line. There are plenty of groups or online coupons giving away the game cards which the company needs you to own. The game cards is their gimmick to try to get you to comeback. The packages trade game card points in exchange for money which you put onto each card. The game card itself also tracks how many arcade winning tickets you've collected at the end of the night. Growing up in the arcade era I expected certain things in terms of video game selection. Many of the available games can also be found in your phone as these games included flappybird and angry birds. There were no fighting games and no games from before 2015. So if you are looking to enjoy your inner child you will have to do so in another fashion. I was hoping to see some classics, four player ninja turtles, street fighter, mortal kombat, tekken, nba jam, golden axe.. no no wartered down shooters was as good as it gets. Im talking about time crisis part 4.. lol. They did have a four way air hockey table which will keep you entertained for two minutes at a time at a cost of 8 credits per game. Other games i enjoyed were ski ball and basketball shootout. Most games cost about 6 credits. The card reader would often jam and created some confusion for several game players. My favorite game played was mario kart which I could have stood home and played on my son's wiiu or switch.
The drinks ran approximately 10 dollars each and were carefully measured and served with plenty of ice so 4 drinks and 40 dollars in you may feel like you've had your first drink.
The food, although creative, was similar to that of a tgifridays with less selections priced at about $20 an entree and came with a $10 game card. The food, however, lacked flavor and could not be less satisfying but you get what you pay for.
At the end of the night I came home with a game card probably worth 50 bucks, and a fiendish desire to locate a real arcade to go the next time we go out.
If you are looking to watch a game while throwing back beers n soda while eating appetizers this may be a decent option for you. The were plenty of large screen TVs and clean booths. You could play a few games during half time and finish using up your card points
