    2x Brekky Smash Burger and the crew
    Owen B.

    First of all, thank you to Dave and Busters for their generous Veterans Day discount. Food was great! Brekky Burger best burger here. Service was constant and considerate despite the busy time we visited. Environment is what you expect at a Dave and Busters. Great location!

    Grasshopper
    Daryn N.

    If you like grasshoppers in your Cobb Salad, this is the place for you! This was entirely unacceptable and totally caught me by surprise. The staff did remove it from our bill but that was it. It's entirely disgusting that it was even there but lol??? Anyway, the music is very loud to the point you can't hear the person in front of you.

    Dave a nice day

    Not to be confused with Dove And Butter, which sell soaps and spreads for your bread, this is a fun paradise. This is a pretty handy Dave & Buster inside the massive Crossgates Mall and as usual the best thing about it are all the games. Some of them are delightful and you can spend hours here, but the main problem - and the reason I don't give it a higher rating - is that you can also spend so much money here. Games are not cheap at all and I really think the games should be free with the purchase of food or drinks or something like that - or even just free. Because it makes it inaccessible for people who don't have large disposable incomes, ish.

    We had fun

    I have been there once . I liked the vibe. A little too noisey and crowded. But hey they are gaming high energy place. Overall great experience went for my cousin's birthday. I shall be back soon

    Dry rubbed Wings- perfection
    Sandra S.

    First off let me start by saying I was absolutely amazed my the staff in this location. I had the pleasure of being helped by two employees by the name of Charde and Lisa. When I say they went above and beyond it was an understatement. This was my first time at this location and I came with my family and friends. From the time we entered we were greeted by friendly staffed and we were helped in getting game cards for my kids, orders by the bar and even when we were seated at the booth with my family. I didn't get a chance to take a picture of everything but I will describe it. I started off with the blackberry margarita and my friend with an original margarita both of which were good. I ordered buffalo wings and fried pickles. The only way I enjoy pickles is fried and they did a great job. The wings were fried perfectly and the sauce was ratio was perfect. Even the dry rubbed wings my friend ordered was just delicious. The skin was crispy and the meat was tender. I then ordered the Paula D pinacoola and I have to say I originally got it because it was suppose to have a henny shot in it and it def didn't. To be honest it almost tasted like a virgin pina coolada. That was the only thing I was disappointed in. My friend and I also had a round of tequila shots during their happy hour. My kids had the sliders and a classic burger and fries and they loved it. My kids are very basic but picky eaters. So if your child is the same you can't go wrong with the classic burger and fries. I absolutely hope that this review makes it to corporate somehow because both Lisa and Charde need a raise. I will absolutely be back and I hope that all the staff is as kind, and knowledgeable as they were. I rarely ever give five stars but this was well deserved!

    Hawg-a-saurus cheese fries. So good!
    Becky K.

    I went there for dinner for the first time. Ordered a few appetizers and I have to say that the Hawg-a-saurus cheese fries are really really good. Get the sweet potato fries with this not regular. I was surprised at how good the different meats tasted on this dish. Very flavorful. I also ordered the nachos app and the pretzel dogs app. My kids loved the pretzel dogs (of course). The nachos were fine but my preference is when there are tons of toppings covering everything. So personally I thought it would have been better with even more beans, guac, meat, tomatoes etc.

    Not for adults. A kid spot. Disappointing for some adult fun. Other arcades have more options for the 30/40 year old kid.

    We were in town here grabbing some dinner with my nephew who is a student at RPI. It's been forever…read moresince I've been at a mall, but there was plenty of parking despite the rainy weather, and we got into here quickly for a table for dinner. Their dessert case right in front of the entrance was taunting me.... We were seated and greeted by Sang Jun, who was fantastic. It turns out that we are all Korean, we figured that out at the end of the meal but he was amazing as a server. Never needed to ask for anything, made several recommendations, and we had a really great meal and evening. The menu is giant! Come hungry for sure! I started out with a margarita flight, which was not only beautiful, but delicious. We started out with the ahi tuna nachos, which was delicious and beautiful. Scallions, tuna, fried wonton skins as chips, jalapeños and sauce that made it all worth every calorie. I ignored the jalapeños, but still inhaled the tuna and everything else. Crowd pleaser for sure. My nephew got the salmon special, served with sweet potatoes. I ordered the bang bang shrimp and chicken that came with lo mein. The sauce was a Thai curry base and has veggies and was literally inhale-able. I ate the proteins (cooked perfectly) and some of the noodles, then ended up eating the leftover noodles the next morning. Still just as good cold out of the fridge! My brother got the ramen. They were out of the pork (or it was off the menu) so he went with the beef. That looked so good, bowl was filled to brim with noodles, garnishes, and beef. It was perfect since he wasn't feeling well. My nephew decided halfway thru his salmon dish he wanted a side Caesar salad and Sang Jun brought one tha looked like it was made for the Internet. Well plated and giant portion. We were absolutely stuffed so we had no room for desserts, even though they looked so good in the cooler walking in. We had a nice discussion with SJ about our family trip to Korea last summer, telling him about some of the most embarrassing moments and getting a good laugh. I guess this is a chain, but I hope that I see one again. I'll be ready to have the same exact thing, or try something new- I'm sure it will be amazing. Thanks to the team and Sang Jun for a memorable meal here in Albany!

    There were six of us and the service was really good. The place is very bright and very big…read more We got a bunch of appetizers. The potato skins were delicious! Chock full of cheese and bacon and baked to perfection. The spinach and artichoke dip and chips were really good too. The fresh fried mozzarella are pretty big. The kids loved them. My meal was really really good. I got the chicken with lemon sauce (I forget the actual name of the dish), mashed potatoes and asparagus. It was huge and it was delicious. Lightly breaded and fried topped with a creamy lemon sauce. Everything else looked really good too. So much food!

This restaurant is conveniently located to the medical center (across the street) and can be accessed by using the breezeway/ bridges that connect outlying buildings to hospital without having to go out in the cold. This place is generally packed but was quiet when we went. The food is consistently good and this visit was no exception. What made the experience top notch was the wait staff that came by to make sure we had everything and that food was prepared to our liking.
