    This was the worst dining experience. The server was extremely rude and confrontational-the service was terrible and the management did not seem to address the issues. We will never be back at this location.

    It was a wonderful experience at Dave & Buster's, and Cheyanne's exceptional service was a significant part of it. She was terrific at anticipating our needs. The food was great, and it arrived faster than we thought, considering the place was packed. The kids had fun in the play area and many new games. Everything worked well.

    Very disappointed in my food. I ordered "to go" for my grandmother. This is what I received, no avocado in it at all, thought it's advertised. The salad was barely fresh, it was a poor lazy job. I'm giving 2 stars because after driving 15 minutes back they offered to remake it the correct way, but it's the principle of it all. The salad should have never left the kitchen like that.

    Stopped in to find some entertaimemt for my 3 year old grand. Overall, it was not very crowded. Service was a bit slow, and games for three year olds were a bit lacking. Sanitation was good, generally. However, I had to re-wipe the table in the dining area, and several of the games had an unknown substance on them. The presentation and quality of the food were great, with no issues. Good selection drinks for adults and children. Games, in my opinion, are suited for older children. If you are out with the kids and want to stop in to watch a sports event...this is the place...older children needing little supervision can entertain themselves while you and significant other or running g partner can enjoy the game(s).

    The Salmon Bowl tasted delicious however it gave me food poisoning! I went to the hospital and I had to get an IV in my arm. SMH they did a blood test and I had more white blood cells than red. I will never eat there again!

    Very refreshing- Caribbean Long Island Iced Tea
    Kim N.

    On my most recent trip I ordered the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls, and asked my server (Amber) a suggestion on which drink to get. She recommended the Caribbean Long Island (I had two, they are delicious). Great suggestion, ambiance, energy and conversation with her. I will definitely be back to play next time, eat and drink as well.

    Shocked to see such low reviews, 2nd time going here and was another wonderful experience. First time was in 2019 with my dad, we did not eat. Only played games and had zero problems! Went again for the 2nd time last night with my fiancée for her birthday, games were fine. Everything was as advertised/as expected for ANY Dave and busters location. I will say the guitar hero game the buttons kept getting jammed but tbh the guitar hero at most arcades are almost always a hit or miss so that's not exclusive to Dave & busters or this particular location. We did enjoy dinner here, everything was out promptly. Tenders and steakhouse burger were delicious!! Mega shout out to our waitress Mary, she was very attentive and on top of everything. Even when the drinks from the bar were taking longer than usual she was sure to communicate with us that they were backed up on orders (it was a pretty busy night) Anyway I've had nothing but positive experiences going here. Based on the reviews here I think the experience you will have is dependent on YOU. So before you decide to give up on this location at least give it a chance. I could be wrong but seems like a lot of the people leaving negative reviews are expecting royalty treatment. It's a Dave & busters lol not trying to invalidate anyone but maybe be a little more realistic, I believe these employees are trying their best.

    This is the rude lady.

    My experience at Dave & Buster's started off rough but ended on a better note. I was at the bar when I had an unpleasant interaction with a bartender. I didn't catch her name, but she was rude simply because I didn't know the name of the drink I wanted. Her attitude was unnecessary and unprofessional -- that kind of behavior shouldn't be acceptable from any staff member. Thankfully, the experience turned around when we got food. Our server was amazing -- super respectful, friendly, and really made us feel welcomed. She definitely deserves recognition for her great service Picture of the rude lady btw.

    Bar Vibe!

I went Sunday night to spend some time with friends who were in town for an event. I was certain that it was going to be packed in there, but it wasn't! I was able to grab a drink and get something that my nearby friend always takes pics of and makes me jealous: the fried wings... AKA the crack wings. They are still delicious! And they came out quickly. It doesn't look like they do karaoke anymore, but I'm glad to see they still do free pool on Wednesdays. I have heard from others how packed and slow it can get at peak times, but I am happy this wasn't that occasion. Hope they continue to do well. Also, I remember the building being white outside. It's blue now!

This place had to be over the capacity as there was no moving space inside. The door was being held wide opened by a rock, I guess it was to give ventilation, which didn't help much at all. The bartenders are very very rude here (one in particular)they ignored customers, even refused to look up when a customer tries to get their attention. I've never seen bartenders be so rude. Also, there were only 2 bartenders working and AT LEAST 100 people present. The music was super loud and the sour smell at the bar was unbearable!!! I could not stay here long due to the heat and smell. This place has no security whatsoever, which seems a bit strange for the amount of people that were present. This spot is out of control.I seen people walking out of the door with drinks, even saw someone hit a car in the parking lot and pull off, this was my first and last visit.

Going on a Friday night I just knew it would be packed, but surprisingly it was easy to get a spot at a table near the bar. The wait for a table in the main restaurant was running about 40 mins, but would have risked not being seated before the kitchen closed. Despite the bar being busy, we were greeted and served pretty quickly. The DC tap water is my go to drink and you definitely get your moneys worth. My husband ordered the hurricane and was very satisfied with the amount of liquor he could actually taste. For meals I had to get the tiger wings. I love that sauce so much and wish they sold the sauce by itself. Also got a side of the greens which were tasty and not overcooked, I just feel like the flavor is something I would get tired of after a while. My husband ordered the jambalaya and it was also good.

The buffet didn't disappoint with everything from the omelette station, carving station (roast beef and turkey), pasta, jambalaya, fried chicken and all the breakfast favorites. The restaurant is very spacious with lots of levels that are 2-3 steps up or down. Be careful to catch them all and not stumble. The service was my star deduction. The wait was 1.5 hours (added our names remotely) but upon arrival there seemed to be confusion. A server never came to take drink orders or provide silverware. We even got our first plates with nothing then had to ask the manager. She had someone come by but it was strange for such a busy day to forget us or not have assigned servers. Overall, the food was inconsistent. Some things were bland and others seasoned very well. The turkey sausage was mid and grits had no flavor - cheese grits at that. Maybe ordering off the menu will fair better. Great value for the price!

We arrived to a line out the door on a Friday night but we only waited around 25 minutes for a table. The seating inside is plentiful and the atmosphere is loud but cozy and fun - family friendly and enjoyable. We enjoyed the most amazing food - Fontina Vodka Penne (with Shrimp), Kale & Romaine Caesar Salad, Whiskey & Aged White Cheddar Burger, 20oz Bone-in Ribeye. The steak and burger were cooked to perfection, the sauces were outstanding and the Caesar salad was by far the best out of all of this listed.

    How did I not know TAP Sports Bar existed?…read more TAP is basically what happens when a stadium, a fryer, and a casino have a baby; loud, chaotic, and somehow exactly what you needed. I was fully invested in the Duke game because if they won, my bestie would be back in DC. So yes, I was out here cheering for the Boozer brothers like I was trying to get their mama a plane ticket. Not wanting to deal with the National Harbor side, my friend suggested TAP and honestly, clutch move. The struggle: a 30-45 minute wait for a table. The plot twist: the to‑go line was just as long, and they'll shut it down if the kitchen gets overwhelmed. But it was available. The pivot: the outdoor area was wide open. No bar, no servers, no crowd, just sunshine and empty plush seating and tables. So outside it is. This worked perfectly because we both weren't drinking! We ordered at the bar, grabbed our food, and watched the game outside like VIPs who chose peace over chaos. Inside: TVs everywhere, sports blasting, people yelling at screens like the players owed them money. It's chaotic in the best possible way. Service was friendly but slow but still, the staff somehow kept the whole place running like a well‑oiled machine in the middle of a sports‑fueled tornado. Final verdict: Come hungry, come casual, and come patient. TAP is fun, filling, and exactly the kind of place you go when you want comfort food with zero pretension. Now... let's get into it! I went straight for the TAP Burger, as any self‑respecting burger monster would. And honestly? It understood the assignment. Juicy, messy (in a sexy way), and stacked like it's trying to win a televised food competition. The fries were crispy little overachievers, especially impressive considering they were trapped in a plastic container. No pics because to go food isn't picture worthy out of the containers. Highly recommend. This is officially my new spot for all things sports. Plus, free parking. A no‑brainer. Find me here on game days! Perfect outdoor place to be!

This evening, we sat at the bar and ordered lots of great food, especially the Birria tacos and quesadillas. The consume was just the right consistency! I will say that my only issue is that the bar does not have enough options for various types of drinks - were so being able to modify classic cocktails I definitely will be back and have been back to order carry out however eating and it's my preference.
