    My boyfriend and I came here the other day so he could play pool. He loves the pool tables here so…read morewe try to come out when we can to this location, though it is a little ways out from us. The staff is really friendly for a pool hall. The place is relatively clean in the bathrooms are really clean which I absolutely appreciate being that I don't get into the sport of pool, I like to be in a pool hall that is clean and with clean bathrooms while I'm there a few hours as he plays. I had a buffalo chicken wrap and we order a side of onion rings, and my boyfriend had one of the burgers. Everything came out really good. The fries are well seasoned which I love and the honey mustard sauce was delicious with the chicken wrap. We will definitely be back next time I have to try the drinks.

    This pool room and restaurant stands in a class of its own, not just as a place to play or dine,…read morebut as a complete experience built around quality, community, and consistency. From the moment you walk through the doors, it's immediately clear that this is not a typical establishment trying to get by on appearances--it delivers substance at every level. Start with the atmosphere. The patrons and staff set the tone, and here that tone is unmistakably positive. People are welcoming without being intrusive, friendly without being artificial, and professional without feeling stiff. That balance is rare. You don't feel like an outsider, even on your first visit. Instead, there's an underlying sense that this is a place where people genuinely enjoy being--and that matters the most. Then there's the food, which frankly outperforms expectations for a venue that could have coasted on its recreational appeal alone. It hasn't. The kitchen clearly takes itself seriously, and the results show. Winning three regional awards isn't luck--it reflects consistency, execution, and a refusal to cut corners. The menu offers standout dishes that would hold their own against dedicated restaurants, not just "good for a pool hall," but legitimately among the best in the area. Now to the core attraction: the pool tables. This is where the establishment separates itself from the competition decisively. High-quality equipment isn't optional here--it's foundational. The sixteen 9-foot Diamond and Diamond Predator tables signals that this place understands what serious players expect. These tables are meticulously maintained, level, clean, and responsive. Casual players will enjoy the experience, but seasoned players will immediately recognize that this is a venue designed with them in mind. Maintenance extends beyond the tables. The entire facility reflects attention to detail. Cleanliness, organization, and upkeep are clearly priorities, not afterthoughts. There's no sense of neglect or slow decline that plagues so many similar businesses. Instead, everything feels intentionally cared for, which reinforces trust in the overall operation. Location matters, and this one is hard to beat. Situated in a safe, upscale southside area, it removes the hesitation some people have about visiting billiards venues. You're not second-guessing your surroundings--you're focused on enjoying your time. That alone broadens the appeal, especially for families. And that brings up another critical point: this is genuinely a family-friendly environment that includes a youth league. The friendliness is not in a forced or watered-down way, but in a way that makes people of different ages comfortable sharing the same space. That's difficult to execute, and even harder to sustain, but it's clearly part of the core philosophy here. Finally, the owner, Thomas Dorsey, deserves mention--not as a token nod, but because leadership sets the ceiling for everything else. His reputation for being genuinely kind and approachable isn't just a nice detail; it explains the culture. Places don't accidentally become welcoming, well-run, and respected. That starts at the top. If you're looking for a place to pass time, you have options. If you're looking for a place to consistently enjoy yourself, improve your game, eat well, and build real connections, this is where you go.

    We tried MPM Tiki bar tonight for the first time! Upon entering the front door we were promptly…read moregreeted by the hostess. The inside was decorated very on brand, but I thought it was quite loud inside. Granted, it is a Friday night. We sat outside and were greeted within a few minutes by our waitress. She was super friendly and helpful going over the menu for us since it was our first visit. I had a Thai Iced Tea which was delicious, but the straw I was given was too short for the glass they served it in. We ordered the crab Rangoon and bulgogi beef appetizers and thought they were delicious! For main courses, I ordered the Katsu Chicken Rice Bowl, my husband ordered the Pad Prik Pao and my husband's friend ordered the Crispy Chicken Fried Rice. We also ordered the Honey BBQ wings for the table. I thought the chicken in my bowl was really good, but the proportions of the bowl were interesting. It was essentially 5/6 rice and then 1/6 the chicken, seaweed salad, and other toppings (cabbage and tomatoes). It was such a deep bowl that I was left with copious amounts of rice at the end. The wings looked awesome but they were slathered in sauce and that was a little disappointing. Plus we could have used some wet wipes for them! The service was pretty slow which, again, Friday night.... But our server visited our table one time. Overall the food (for the most part) and atmosphere were great, but the service was just okay.

    General warning to the public!!!!!!!!…read more The credit card machine at Dave & Buster's Glen Allen are defective. We were charged 5 times $180 ($900) due to the credit card machine failing constantly. We informed the waitress, and she advised that it will reverse. 3 days later and no reversal, we contacted the manager, and he advised that he reversed it and will email us the proof, needless to say another 5 days later and still no email. And this is after we drove there and he disappeared for a while to send the "email", still waiting. The bank sends you back to them and they send you to the bank in an infinite loop. DON'T USE YOUR CREDIT CARD AT THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Can't in good faith recommend this location. The service is extremely slow, my food was burnt, my…read morepartners burger tasted like dish soap and the workers here did not seem to know what to do to rectify the situation. No one was available to help and we had to find and flag someone twice, once to be seated and then to try to figure out when our food was coming. We were sat for 2 hours and visited by our server all of 3 times. We only ordered a water, Dr. Pepper and two entrees which took 40 minutes to come out. As mentioned in other reviews, the selection of games is a lot smaller than other locations, some of the games are great but will malfunction often which makes it hard to play. The restaurant needs work don't waste your time it took me 2 hours for a dr. Pepper, two burgers, one being burnt, the other tasted like dish soap and then had to wait another 40 minutes for them to remake it to go in an empty restaurant. I'd recommend just visiting a D&B when traveling or patron a different entertainment center.
