This Dave and Busters was not one of the nicer ones that I have been to. A few of the games were not working and there were barely any staff to help. It almost felt kind of dirty. There were cups everywhere and it just seemed smaller than usual. Also, the fact that a cop was patrolling out front the whole time was weird. The food area was huge and the games were fun. It is very pricey for an arcade though. However, the prizes are really great! read more

Saturday 5pm Get the Eat and Play combo! The combination I got was Bistro steak and shrimp with lobster alfredo + $20 credit for about $30. Order before 5pm before the deal ends. Arcade games are arcade games. There are a million kids at this Dave & Busters on a Saturday. One game that annoyed me was the Street Surfer game which I am excellent at on my Kindle. This version at the arcade has a stuck joystick and an incredible lag time. If you need to run left you're a dead man. The people working at the winnings exchange are efficient but look like they hate their lives. The big fluffy unicorn is 6000 tickets. Will be back for this big fluffy unicorn. read more

Moe the manager is really nice :) good drinks on half off wednesdays. great date night :)

overall this dave and busters is exactly as expected. the food was average , unfortunately do not recommend the Brussels sprout but the drinks were great! service was friendly and professional , but slow if not at a reserved table. plenty of games and the arcade area was very clean. read more

A great time for family fun + drinks. This is a medium/ mall size D & B chain but there's a great variety of games to choose from. There was a bit of a wait time for a table with availability at the bar. It works out when you have older kids that don't require supervision. We charged up the gaming cards for the kiddos and headed to the bar to wait. The food was surprisingly tasty and the drinks were great. It does get a little warm in the gaming area and you should expect a crowd on the weekends. All in all it was a fun time. read more

Dave & Buster's Cary - Sports Bars Near Me - Cary, North Carolina

I love the place because of the arcades. I've never eaten at this location so cant judge the food. This one star review is just based on the experience I received. The service was terrible. Long lines, no managers and poor attitude on employees. 07/14/18 Today was much better! The customer service was on point and helped combined multiple cards into one. However, I lost two cards and no one turned them in. If found, one is a candy crush and the other generic wrapped with a green rubber band. I changed my review from 1 star to 3 stars to keep it fair and balanced. read more

Update: Terrible just terrible! The employees at this location seem to care less about customer service. We sat at the bar for 10 mins. The bartender said he would be back but never returned to take our order instead he decided to ignore us. Mind you it was a slow day and he definitely wasn't too busy to serve us. Then we decided to grab a table in hopes that maybe then we could order a drink and food. We waited by the hostess station and waited and finally what looks to be a manager casually walked over, didn't acknowledge us, grabbed some menus and then said follow me. We sat and again we waited. Finally a waiter drops by with absolutely no sense of urgency or care and asked what we would like to drink. I wanted to order a drink that was on the menu and he had no idea what I was talking about. What in the world is going on at this Dave and buster?! I've been to probably 8 Dave and Buster's locations across the US and never have I ever had such terrible customer service. And it's my friend's birthday and I had told her it would be a good time at Dave and Buster's. You've made me look like an absolute fool. I am EXTREMELY disappointed. Oh and I'm writing this while I'm still waiting for my first drink. *sigh* 25 min wait at a table for our drinks seems a bit excessive no? I'm so over it. Old review: Bar service is good and there's lots of yummy drinks to choose from but service at the game ticket counter is terrible. I've been to the D&B's in Dallas, San Antonio and Las Vegas and this is definitely the smallest of all the locations that I've been to but I do like the games that they stock at this location. Lots of newer games and that's always fun. Just wish they had a better way of flagging down a game attendant when the game you're playing isn't functioning properly. We had to go the the ticket exchange counter where both employees were busy checking their Facebook accounts on their phone and seemed annoyed that they needed to help out a customer. Someone needs to tell them to get off their phones while they're working the counter on a busy Saturday night and maybe just maybe be kind to their customers. I would give them more stars if I could but the customer service or lack thereof at the ticket counter just rubbed me the wrong way. read more

Had booked a reservation to celebrate my sons 6th birthday party here weeks in advance. This was his first birthday that friends got to be included. He chose D&B as it's his favorite place. He was so excited. We showed up 20 minutes before our ten party reservation to find a closed sign on the door. No one called or reached out to us beforehand or even after. I frantically contacted the other kids families meeting us to not make the 30 minute drive. My son was devastated and I was mad there was no contact from D&B. I reached out to corporate and no word from them either. Comment to manager- I did and haven't received a response. read more

I waited 10min, manager and Busser was walking around and no one acknowledged me. They seemed like they hated their job and didn't care. I walked out. This place is a gold mind for Cary. No need to hire unmotivated people. read more

We went to celebrate my granddaughter's 13th birthday. Food took forever but $200 later, upon leaving the restaurant my granddaughter left her purse with her diabetes medicine. In the bag, were also $80 in cash that she had gotten while at the restaurant for her birthday gift. Called Dave & Busters to advise them were returning to retrieve the bag as they were closing. Looked in bag 1 hour later & realized the $80 were not in her bag. Thieves!! It is obvious that between the 3 bussers & the manager who took the bag from the bussers, someone decided it was okay to steal $80 from a 13 year old diabetic child. You know who you are & your actions are disgusting! This from an organization that claims they support the Make A Wish Foundation for children with life threatening illnesses. My granddaughter is a diabetic, life threatening illness, who was celebrating her birthday & had her birthday money stolen by an employee. Yes you with no conscience! Thanks I hope you can sleep at night! Never again! I hope you enjoy her birthday money! read more

We come here a lot and just tried out the new location. It's fantastic! The staff is pretty amazing and the place is super clean. There was hardly anyone there when we went so we safely played for almost 4 hours. The managers and wait staff are all so sweet and attentive! I hope it stays this nice because it's really a great place to watch a game or a fight or beat your kids at mario kart. read more

Unfortunately, I don't think management at this location is up to par. It was absolutely horrible when it was in Cary Towne Center but I thought I would give it a chance since it moved locations and seemed to have it together...I was wrong. First, there is only supposed to be 400 people in there at a time and there was well over that amount. It was sooo packed it was hard to even move. Second, when they called us for our table, I walked up to the "hostess", she looked at me and I said "I'm was pages for our table". She looked right passed me and started doing other things. No "give me a minute" or anything. So, I stood there for another 5 minutes waiting on her to have time for me. Third, once we were seated our waiter came over and took our drink order then our appetizer order. That was all great but we waited quite some time for our drinks from the bar. Once we got our food and drinks, our waiter disappeared. We had to flag down others to get additional things we needed. When the waiter finally dropped off our check it took him about 20 min to make it back to the table. If I was not a good person, I would have just walked out. The management needs to have conversations with the staff because it was just a bad experience. We actually left there to eat somewhere else after appetizers because of the staff. read more

Location - Its located at the mall but its not a popular place from the looks of it. Venue - Smaller than most Dave & Busters I've been too and not as many games. Service - The game attendants weren't great, as they didn't offer to credit me back for a game that wasn't working. Also they took forever to respond to another broken game I was at. Food - The food here is good not great but will do. Overall it wasn't a great experience but would come back with the kids since its the only one in the area. read more

The gaming area was the highlight of my visit. We waited for about an hour and that was totally fine. This is where things became messy. Once seated the hostess place us at the table, without knowledge to us we needed to order from the phone. Our waiter came and told us this about 10 minutes in. Boom, I place the order and paid. It took about 30 mins for our food to arrive along with our drinks. We waited with no acknowledgement from the waiter or even our drinks for the entire time after placing and paying for the order. The food was warmed over and not even worth the price. I recommend going for fun and heading some where else to eat and drink. read more

I wish I could leave zero stars. One of the most horrible dining experience ever. I went in with my girlfriend and her 5 year old daughter and my 5 year old son . We have an awesome experience gaming but it all changed when we decided to eat . It started at the host Stand. The host sat us and I asked for a paper menu. She said they were trying to reduce that use but I mentioned I'd prefer to have one . She then said "your phone don't work?" So i said again I just want one paper menu please. She got one from the server terminal and was very upset. Our server then didn't get to us for 10 minutes. She got our drink orders while my girlfriend was in the bathroom . She took the order with no pad then came back with a wrong drink . It took over 10 minutes to get the correct drink. She also took our food order with no pad. We were missing a few things. She once came to check us. Not one manager came by . We actually saw her laughing with the manager at the server terminal. The floors were beyond disgusting. They finally started sweeping 3 minutes before we left. Oh and when we gave her the check it took over 10 minutes to get back to us. I had to go to her at the terminal for my change. She had the nerve to ask if I wanted my change back. Oh and my sons kids meal was not correct but we didn't complain. We just asked for ketchup from another sever Bc we couldn't find mine. She also neglected to bring it so I had to go to a dirty table to get one. I am a FOH manager . I notice everything. Not one step of service was followed at all. She only had 2 tables max during this time. The manager didn't care at all. That entire restaurant staff needs to be replaced read more

By far the worse services EVER! My wife and I were at the bar for 15 mins before getting help, needless to say we were the only ones at the bar. So when the bartender finally came to help we went ahead and ordered everything drinks and food were good but then again here we go waiting for 40 mins while everything is done, our food and drinks. Finally here comes the bartender again to ask if we need our check, my wife said no we would like another round of drinks so then 15 mins later we get our drinks. Meanwhile all our dirty cups and plates are still by us. Please everyone if you come here go straight to the game room with your kids or even yourselves and avoid the bar/food side. read more

Went here yesterday for my aunts graduation party, and this review is solely regarding the food and drinks . Would not recommend. First the drinks, my fiancé ordered a beer on draft and he said he tasted disgusting, it was his favorite red oak but he said it tasted like it had gone bad or something like that, so he ordered a bottle. I ordered a passion fruit mojito that tasted like lemonade. I'm not sure how passion fruit tastes exactly like Minute Maid lemonade but it did. I sent that back and ordered and Strawberry Margarita and that was okay but I tasted no alcohol. For a like 12 or 13 dollar drink you don't want to feel like you are drinking juice. But where they failed on the drinks they did even worst on the food. Ordered the garlic truffle Parmesan fries and they were extra salty and I love salty so for me to say that was just not good. And they gave me no Parmesan on them. I maybe a half of sprinkle. I will say the sauces for the fries were pretty good but could not make up for that terrible taste. I ordered the chicken Parmesan and it was super dry and like it had been sitting in a heat lamp for forever. When you know the tomato sauce is brown you know it's been sitting or rewarmed for two long. The pasta that came with my dish was dry and flavorless and it took me 20 minutes to get some salt and pepper to make it semi edible. The icing on the cake was my aunts burger. She ordered the cheese burger and the cheese was black and charbroiled. I've never seen a cheese burger like that before. I was worried. She said it tasted horrible but normal so there was really nothing to worry about. The them of the meal is everything over cooked, and dry. Server was kind and nice but didn't bring items for a while. So pretty bad service. Overall would not return! read more

My kids had a lot of fun, though there weren't many games to me. The waitress was amazing and gave great suggestions on food and drinks. The nachos and garlic parm fries were so good, but the chicken strips weren't fully cooked on the inside. The prices were good and the kids (3) stayed busy for hours for about $150. I had to go to the gift shop to get help from I believe a manager for help with a broken game just because the people working on the floor didn't help and were rude, but he was sooooo nice! Super helpful, professional and just an all around nice guy. Super mixed review, I know LOL. I will definitely go back and give them another try and update my review accordingly. read more

PRICEY!! I don't remember D&B being so expensive, but my friend and I somehow blew through $80 for mediocre food and about 1 hour of games. We tried to take advantage of the "Eat Play Card" package (entree + $10 play card for a discounted price), but after adding it up...you really only save a a few dollars in total. You're better off getting a much tastier meal elsewhere and buying a play card separately. Most games start at 6.8 credits while a majority are closer to 10. It's pretty expensive considering $10 only buys you 48 credits, and some of the games are less than a minute of play. Food was subpar - the Bang Bang Chicken tasted like reheated chicken in oily peanut sauce and the Caveman Combo (their top seller) was just average and run-of-the-mill. On top of that, the service felt incredibly slow despite there being so many empty tables around. Overall, I'd maaaybe come back for games if my friends were dying to go, but I definitely wouldn't come back to eat dinner. read more

Too expensive for food, especially when it takes over an hour to get what you ordered. Go to play not to eat.

Worst arcade experience in decades. Nearly all the games I wanted to play were physically broken or misconfigured. Many waiting for network connections, the multiplayer pacman actually had reversed controls for one side which made it unplayable. Our entire group was disappointed and left feeling bored and cheated. Also very overpriced games and not sure if everyone's doing this now but another thing I noticed was when you swiped your card for a game, most only let you play one round. Example Injustice DC, you swipe, play one quick round, and then you have to pay again, regardless if you won or not. Will never waste my time here again. read more

D&B The bartenders are extremely rude and lack any people skills. They look like they absolutely despise their job. If you want people to enjoy coming to your establishment, hire people who are kind to your customers. Their terrible attitudes and stale faces will certainly keep us from returning. They roll their eyes when you speak, or just ignore you completely and are unwilling to help you. When asked if they had silver or gold Espolon tequila, the bartender who had pink/orange hair (name tag says Lady Shi) said, "It's just regular tequila." So I clarified my question with is it clear or gold and she slammed her hand on the bar, rolled her eyes, and held up the bottle. Of the three women behind the bar, one was kind and helpful and we were told she's training. Hopefully their terrible attitudes don't wear off on her and she keeps her positivity. The other two have terrible attitudes and look like they hate their job. It is also unclear that you are only able to order with one bartender and when we ended up with two tabs because that was unclear, Lady Shi's attitude got even worse and she got angry with my husband for having a second tab. Nowhere is this advertised, and the other bartender took our order. She didn't ask if we had another tab open and we assumed that I'd we open a tab, you can add to it. Lady Shi never comes to check on you or ask if you need anything else as you sit there with an empty glass, so when one of the other bartenders finally acknowledged us, we ordered a round with her. In the end, the customer service and terrible attitudes need to be checked and fixed. read more

Wednesday nights at Dave and Busters can't let you down. 1/2 off all games AND cocktails. I've stopped in a couple times, but tried their menu for the first time on my most recent visit. Service is slow, they're understaffed and it took maybe ten minutes for our server to come up to our table. We put in all our orders then and he was very "on" for the next 10-15 minutes until our food came. We received the same service when waiting for our bill, LONG wait. Also, in a huge corporate chain like Dave & Busters, they really should've thought of getting some better lights at the tables, these tiny spot light fixtures that only light-up half of the menu don't work. Food was okay, I wouldn't bring a date here for dinner. We ordered off the $16.99 deal, you receive a $10.00 game card included in the price of the meal [so you pay $6.99 for the meal]. I tried the chicken caesar salad and Steve-o A. got the cheese steak sammy, served with fries. The cheese steak sandwich was actually pretty good, although it's not something you should eat often! Caesar salad had fried chicken on it and was okay. Patron margarita was light on liquor while the tiki drink was heavy on the sweet!! I've got to go back and find a better cocktail [but Wednesday nights they're only about $4.50-$6.00]. On to the games, honestly, it's a little overwhelming for me personally. Loud, dark, constantly busy. Check out the 4-D Dark Escape 4 if you want to scream and wet yourself a little. 4-player Mario Cart is a blast, even though I get my bum kicked by Steve A. and Ron W. every time. They've also got a trivia game that will test your knowledge and LOTS of games that give out TONS of tickets. We won 17,900 tickets in one night [that was the accumulation of about $25.00 though]. Overall, a fun night, although definitely recommend on Wednesday nights--your tokens go MUCH farther! read more

We waited for 1/2 hour for a cheesesteak sandwich and fries and it came cold. I won't be back.

I have been to Dave & Busters a couple of times. I recommend getting their Eat & Play Combo. Basically starting at $16.99 you get an entrée plus a $10 game card. So if you get a $12 entrée, you get a $10 game card for $5. Plus they don't charge you for the card if you do it that way. They have tons of food options, and plenty of games. I think the gaming floor is larger than the dining room floor. The prizes for the games are huge. If you have kids, get there early, because as it gets later, then they will start checking ID's, and stop letting you inside. (Like it is a club or something.) People drive from miles around to go to Dave & Busters. A bad side, since they attract a large crowd, it spills over into the parking lot. Park close, but not too close. There are tons of beer bottles in the parking lot, and there have been reports of a few incidents stemming from the Dave & Busters crowd. I would say the food is good, on the higher end, but not gourmet fancy price side of things, and the games are expensive, but not state fair expensive. If you haven't been, grab your fun, and head there at least once. What else do you have to lose? 267 read more

Is zero stars a thing? Decided to go to Dave and busters for games, booze, and fun with friends. Asked the hostess to get a table but the wait was an hour and a half due to short staffing and shift change. Ok cool. Went to the bar to get some drinks and food. Sat down and waited 17 minutes before deciding to leave. We were never addressed or asked if we wanted to order. Bartender was moving INSANELY INSANELY slow. In the 17 minutes we sat there she opened one beer for the couple beside us and was still in the process of making margarita (tequila, premade mix, and shake - am I right?). I would not recommend this place to anyone including my worst enemies. In the time it took me to write this review I hope the couple sitting next to us finally got their drinks and hightailed it to the car to go to a reputable place where service actually exists. read more

the games are super fun, food is good, but with one big catch: at night they jack up the prices of the games like CRAZY. i went one time around noon and the games were probably 3-5 points each to play, and when i went at night they were 10-15 points each. i understand making the prices a bit higher at night because of busy hours, but nearly TRIPLING the prices of every game is ridiculous. read more

When you're talking a bout a big chain like Dave and Busters there are always good and bad things about it. The good: Huge space with lots of super hi-tech games, large bar area plastered with high-def panels, modern dining area with good menu of bar food The bad: Mediocre to poor service for food, lots of noise and bling to make you A-D-D, expensive for games (unless you come on 1/2 price Wednesdays) Dave and Busters is a fun, once in a while treat if you're ready for some arcade and video game excitement. Love Mario Kart, skee-ball, the football toss and more. Plus lots of bling and ding-ding-ding in the air. So if you've got kids and some money to burn, stop on by Dave and Busters. Just bring the ear plugs, you've been warned.... read more

Dave and busters is a Wednesday night tradition for me and my friends when I'm in town. This location offers great games, isn't super crowded, and doesn't have super long waits to play games. Most of the games worked that I wanted to play and didn't give me any problems. The staff at Dave and busters are always a hit or miss as far as service goes, but the front desk person was polite. Don't forget that certain games require you to tap to redeem your tickets. I found out the hard way when a little girl took over 2500 tickets from the game I just got done playing....lol. read more

Says theyre open. Theyre closed. 1 hour drive for nothing. Called before and front desk lady said theyre open until 1am. Why lie.

Slow service very crowded and not many games. A lot of games were broke but still pulled credits off your card.

Had a party of 12. Food came out an hour later just on one side of the table and the other side 30 mins after that. Our food was cold. Not blaming the server because he was doing all he could do. Would not go back! read more

Delicious food and great drinks. Fun time playing games. Manager Carolyn always comes to table to welcome you to Dave and Busters.
