    I really wanted to like this Dave & Buster's location in Birmingham, but unfortunately, the bad heavily outweighed the good. Let's start with the positives: the drinks were great, the happy hour prices were solid, and the bartenders were excellent. However, everything else was a major disappointment. The front desk staff were unpleasant right from the start, and the pricing system is incredibly convoluted. I was expecting to pay $72 based on what I was told, but I was ultimately charged almost $90. I received no receipt and absolutely no explanation for the upcharge. Once we got to the floor, the staff were incredibly unfriendly. We tried to play the Human Crane game, but there were no clear instructions on how to pay for it, and the floor staff were just flat-out rude when we asked for help. This place feels like it was originally designed and priced for adults, but it now caters almost entirely to children. Between the unexplained overcharges and the poor customer service, I definitely do not recommend it.

    Games not active

    We brought our 10-year-old in for spring break yesterday evening between 4-7 PM. The food and service were both good--our waitress took great care of us, and we had no issues with anything we ordered. We ended up spending around $200 between dinner, drinks, and gameplay for 2 adults and a kid. Unfortunately, the overall experience was disappointing due to the number of games that were out of service. There were so many unavailable that it really took away from the experience. I'm not usually one to complain, but it became frustrating enough that I even started taking pictures. I eventually stopped because there were just too many to document. Literally if you look at the pics you start to ask yourself are you serious?

    Came in this evening for a late visit and boy was I impressed. This was definitely a true dining experience I wasn't expecting. The staff here is very friendly and I sat at the bar to watch the game. You need to holla at Nick! He is one of the best at the bar. I took his recommendation and had the island waters punch and it was awesome! He made dude my glasses were full and everything stone was kept clean and he was knocking people out left and right. Now the surprise of the evening was my entree. C.J. Is the executive chef and he came out and wanted me to try something different. He brought me a ribeye steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. This was by far one of the best steaks I've ever had. He told me he makes the seasoning himself on the steak. It was so tender and full of flavor. The mashed potatoes were amazing and the green beans were cooked to perfection. The entire experience was one I will do again. Dalton and his group do an amazing job of satisfying everyone that comes in. Please make it your task to visit this place asap!!!

    First time visiting Dave & Buster's and we had an awesome time!!! We actually decided to go on Valentine's Day 2024. Arriving early there was no problem being able to play the games we wanted to try out. We were two adults enjoying games, a little competion with a side of laughter! I purchased the chips through the app, simple process. We encountered great people while ordering and receiving our food. Now the wait was a little long but once we received our food, all items were delicious. We had Double Pepperoni Flatbread as an appetizer and enjoyed the All American Cheeseburger and Buster's Bacon Burger with fries for our meal. We were able to enjoy $5 drinks (Backwoods Blueberry Lemonade and D&B Long Island Tea) during Happy Hour, not a lot of alcohol but still good! We'll be back!!!

    Dave & Buster's can be a great place to get some family time in so that's exactly what we did! I love that you can spend your time between the food and games however you please. It can be a little hard to get settled at a table or the bar if they are busy but luckily we didn't have to wait long. Our server was a little upset that we ordered drinks at the bar while waiting for a table but that was understandable. We decided on the Cajun shrimp pasta, fries gpt, garlic parmesan wings, and mozzarella stack. The pasta was the star of the show!! We loved it. The wings were good but the fries and wings were not my favorite. The fries must have been sitting for a while bc they were cold and soggy from the sauce. We sent the mozzarella sticks back the first time bc they were still a little frozen in the middle. And when they came back they still had that same chill but decided to just leave it alone. However, the company was good so it didn't put a damper on things too much!

    $5 happy hour drinks
    Toni-Cyntina R.

    This was a fun place for date night. We went during happy hour so we got the $5 drinks and plate of nachos. I got a Long Island tea and my man got a beer. We were still a little hungry so we got a plate of wings Our server was sooo kind and helped us get a card to load for games after our meal. Some of the games were more fun than others but overall it was a great place to be a big kid!

    Caesar wrap with Caesar salad

    I was invited to celebrate a 21st birthday on a Tuesday evening. As an older adult, I was not very excited, lol, but wanted to attend the birthday celebration. The party already had a table close to the bar. Service was a little slow,but the waiters were friendly and helpful. The lights and noise level were typical of an establishment of this nature. I was surprised at how good the food was! The mushroom stout burger was juicy and the ingredients were fresh. Parmesan truffle fries were delicious- how can you go wrong with truffle?? I was told the Ceasar wrap was good as well, but they were surprised they had to get a Caesar salad as the side to a Ceasar wrap, lol. Overall, a good experience. Definitely a fun place for kids, teens and adults for gaming fun & food.

    Nachos

    OMG. I wish I could give them zero stars. This experience was absolutely terrible. The kids wanted to play so we decided to pop in and grab a "quick" appetizer until they were done. It took about 5 full minutes for our server to come by and greet us. When he finally did, he took our drink and food orders, but it was another full 5 minutes before we saw him again. The food finally came out but we had no forks or appetizer plates and our server was gone. The quesadillas were burnt, the nachos were terrible, and the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls left a taste in my mouth that I remember 5 hours later-and not in a good way. The server left every cup on the table when we got refills. Then when it came time to pay, he took our money and was gone for 10 minutes before we got change. Three bad appetizers and bad service is not a coincidence. I'm not impressed at all.

    Food was good. Way too much dressing on my Caesar but meat was great on both dishes. Server was attentive. Games were a lot of fun. One game was malfunctioning and I was unable to find a member of staff to help. Plenty of games to move on to. Overall a pretty chill afternoon

    Not the same noodles, Veggie still raw , has pork , and hardly no chicken

    I ordered the Cajun shrimp pasta right , I get brought back the creamy chicken pasta that has bacon ( I don't eat pork) so the manager said they have no shrimp it'll have to be subbed for chicken , so I say cool that's fine but no pork can't eat it. I even showed him a picked of what they have on the menu saying I want it just like that. I get brought back this. Ps it's a $2 dollar difference that I tried not to trip about. And still get brought this sh!t.

    The fam had a good time

    I have been here for lunch a couple of times now for The Work Week Lunch Deal - Standard Burger (or…read more6 wings), Side , Soda/Tea for $13.49. A really good deal! Seated immediately and ready to take your order as soon as you decide. The Standard Burger (Lettuce. tomato, onion, pickles, horsey sauce & american cheese) is really good. Fries are cooked just right. Previously I got a mix of the Fries and Onion Rings. Onion Rings are great too! I have had The Three Hander sandwich (Niman ranch corned beef, fries, tomato, jalapenos, creamy slaw, dijonaise, mozzarella on sourdough) from their original location which is great too. I should probably try other things as well but the lunch deal is hard to pass up. Since it is not too far from my office, will definitely continue to be a part of my regular lunch rotation. Only downside for me is the parking. There are limited spots on the street out front. Adjacent to the building there is a lot that is part of the apartment complex behind it but not really enough spaces for the 2 restaurants.

    The location is connected to a Mexican restaurant with arcades separating the two. The atmosphere…read moreis family friendly and very upbeat. The staff was friendly and patient as I forgot my readers so a lot of questions were asked. Thank you Andreana. We had the tenderloin (which I haven't had in YEARS). I was not disappointed. We also had the southerner and it was tasty. They had a happy hour where I got a wine and husband got a frozen drink. Then round 2 I opted for the daily drink, daiquiri. Each day there is a different drink as a special. I enjoyed the music and the vibe. Would come back to this place when I'm in Birmingham again.

We were quickly greeted by the hostess and was seated in the bar area. If you'd like to watch sports, this is definitely the place for you because they probably have about 50 TVs in there. It seemed like. Lily Grace was our server and she was very attentive. We started off with the top shelf, Margarita, which was very delicious.
