Not sure why this location is 2.5 stars. But we love this location. The games are excellent! The food is good (compared to its an arcade place)! We ordered bbq chicken flatbread and taco salad. Both are good. Don't like the cheese on taco and we need to wait like 30 mins before server came to take the orders. But in their defense it was close to 11 pm and there not many people working! Overall I love this location. I am taking one star off because of our wait. But not sure why people have 2.5! Come on folks, compare with other arcade places like Chuck-e-cheese! This place is wayyyy better! read more

This was our first time here. I came with my dad and brother, and we decided to try the "Dine & Play" deal. We started with the games and had a great time. The gaming portion of the night was fun and enjoyable overall. Unfortunately, the dining experience was the complete opposite. We were seated at a high-top table, and when our server approached, we let her know we had the Dine & Play deal. She asked for our receipt, but we were never given one, nor did the kiosk mention we would need a printed receipt. We just had our cards which the person at the kiosk said it would be on our cards. She seemed visibly annoyed and said, "I'm just going to speak to my manager," then walked away. She returned briefly to ask a follow-up question and then said, "I'm just going to grab him." To avoid further confusion, we went to the front ourselves and had them print the receipt. Once we gave her the receipt, she took our order: two beers, one water, two chicken sandwiches with ranch on the side, and a burger. The beers arrived after about 10 minutes, but the water never came. She said, "I'll be back with the water," but 20 minutes passed with no sign of it, so I went to the bar to request it myself. Our food was delivered by a different server, and ours server was nowhere in sight. We didn't receive the ranch we requested, so we asked the food runner, who said, "I'll let your server know." Meanwhile, the table behind us even asked if our server had disappeared, we said yes, and they said the same thing happened to them. That table eventually had to go to the front to pay their bill. I asked another staff member for ranch, and he responded, "What does your server look like? I'll let her know." Another 15 minutes passed with no sign of her. We finished our meals, and about 10 minutes later she finally came to the table and said, "You ordered ranch, but it looks like you don't need it." At that point, I simply said, "Yeah." I've worked in the restaurant industry myself, and this was the worst service I've ever received. I've never experienced a server completely disappearing from their tables. It also wasn't particularly busy, there were about six servers for roughly ten tables, so staffing didn't appear to be the issue. The server's name tag only had "!!" on it, so unfortunately we can't provide a name. We ultimately chose not to leave a tip, as we did not receive even basic service. Based on our experience, I would not recommend dining here. read more

GAMES/ARCADE: Out of the 3 Dave & Buster's in the Bay Area/East Bay/NorCal area, the games at this location far exceeds the others. The games are newer, more modern, and more up to date. The machines do break down just like any machine that gets beat, pounded, and shook by any kiddo on the daily (particularly during half off)--the amount of force people use... shouldn't be blamed on the establishment. I myself would be pissed if I operated the chain and I saw what kids did to the machines. Therefore, definite props to the tech team. The tech team are beyond kind and willing to fix any issue--except for the long haired blond Caucasian male (ie stone dropped but wouldn't go into the machine; he just put it back...). Ticketed items have increased due to the tariffs. Items don't seem to be updated much and new items are far few in between BUT this location offers more and has more variety than the others. FOOD: I am starting to believe the food and bar service at all Dave & Buster's are the same. I haven't tried the one in Daly City but have tried the other 2 and another 1 out of state. Obviously, the menu is the same across the board with plus or minus certain items dependent on the culture (ie some locations have shaved ice which I have never seen in NorCal). Somehow the prices increased (let me guess, blame the tariffs?) whereas portion sizes decreased immensely. This isn't too bad if you are part of the FREE membership (PRO TIP: Download the app! if you play enough chips, you do receive FREE apps, entree, burger, etc). Service is gawd awful. It seems as if the training manual is standardized to magically forget customer requests and to let customers search for you. This is a recurring theme across the board. For example, we ordered a salad with the dressing on the side. Server completely forgets. Continues to forget. We continue to watch (giving the benefit of the doubt), then, notice she starts serving others. Someone in my party proceeds to walk up and notify them. We start eating the salad dry. Half way she finally shows up with the prepackaged dressing. Free coupons need to be approved by managers, presumably. Only had this happen when taking out but not dining in. AMBIANCE: It's loud. It's dark. It's full of lights. It's casual. Fabulous for large groups. Often lots of parties and company gatherings happening. It's obnoxiously fun; what more could a person ask for? I wouldn't come here for the food. I'd eat beforehand. However, I'd grab a drink during happy hour (M to F 4-7pm; Sun to Thurs 10pm to closing). If I were basing it off of the food, service, ticketed items, and food pricing, the rating would be so much lower. Instead, I couldn't be happier (in comparison to other arcades) with the chip pricing, rewards via membership, and machines offered. I just wished there were rewards past level 9 on the membership and that you can redeem gift cards on the app AS THIS LOCATION SEEMS TO NEVER HAVE A PERSON AT THE FRONT DESK (you will have to go to the bar and they never want to add your loyalty/members for bonus chips). read more

I love dave and busters and finally made it out to this one. I came on a sunday afternoon. They have so many games here. My favorite is basketball, connect 4 basketball and air hockey. All those were working but over 3 other games we played were out of order and taking the credits. Im so surprised to see some out of order. I did get help with one of the games but I didnt bother for the rest. They have a bar and restaurant like the other ones. I didnt eat any food on this visit. The location was really clean. There was alot of people here today. Im hoping to return for a different experience. read more

The man at the ticket shop who was by himself did extremely well and was super sweet. Came on Memorial Day, the host was sweet and sat us quickly. Then we waited about 15 minutes while being ignored by all the other servers, no water no words no anything. All we got were some awkward eye contact from a blond server while they pretended not to see us. To be fair we could've not been in their section, but telling anyone else that we needed help would've been kind. Came at 4:00 and sat at one of the two-chair tables closest to the bar in the third back row. We ended up leaving since it was clear no one had intentions of even saying hi. I come all the time to play games, and I know the food is good, but what's the point if you can't order anything. Big disappointment, at busy times you're better off going to Round 1 and finding a restaurant after. read more

Hit or miss with the games, hoping if it'll work, sat at the bar got attended immediately, had to wait quite a bit to get more drinks so service was slow. Felt like my friends and I were getting ignored and then we just left to go play. Prizes feel overpriced, almost always have to combine with somebody to get something at least decent. read more

We recently came here for a kids birthday party. Each kid got their own unlimited play card, but it was unlimited only for the blue machines, which means unlimited play applies to these non-ticket, non-redemption video games. It did have some points for the non-blue machines too, so they were able to claim some credits on those games. My family had so much fun here... we probably played every single game that was blue... which took like 3 hours. We were all gamed out by the time we were leaving. Dining area was clean. Service was good, but very very slow for some reason (it was a weekend... so lots of parties and groups). The food was okay, what I expected from a fast food / arcade kind of setting. Bathroom was very clean. In the past, we have came for Wednesday half price day before and it was a good deal! The prizes you redeem credits for are never really worth it, but the kids (and my husband) love the "free" prizes.... Overall we had good times and new memories made at this D&B. Will be coming back! read more

Service is atrocious. Had a reservation and sat for 22 minutes before anyone said a word to us. Decided not to order and went else where. This place could have better reviews if they scheduled staff appropriately or trained staff to be hospitable during busier times. read more

Food was good (had the chicken & ribs combo w/ fries, kids meal with cheese burger, and salmon dinner plate, and drinks (strawberry lemonade, & water). Service was great & helpful. Ambience was great and had a lot games for the kids. read more

We've been coming to this Dave & Buster's for years and usually just play games and have drinks. We've easily spent $300-$500 here and never had issues. This was our first time actually ordering food, and apparently that was a mistake. Gina got her food quickly & finished her entire meal before mine even arrived, which made for a super fun & not-awkward-at-all dinner. Communication from staff was basically nonexistent -- we had to ask multiple times just to find out what was going on. Everything here is already expensive, and between the long delays and poor communication, it cut into our planned game time. Games are still fun, but if you're charging premium prices, basic service should be part of the package considering our bill was $100. read more

Always fun place to go to take my niece. Bathrooms always clean while organized. We've eaten there before the food is good big screen TVs to watch the game have a drink. The service is OK. read more

This is a really good Dave & Busters, very big!! Plenty of large TVs to watch games on, a good sized bar area, and video games galore!! This place exudes energy as soon as you walk in, all the sights, sounds, and smells of everything going on here!! The menu is quite extensive, I'm really glad there are some healthy options to choose from besides just bar food. We always stay in here longer than expected, you just get caught up playing so many games. This is a great place for parties or watching sports, or both!!! Located in The Veranda Shopping Center in Concord!! read more

Overall had a good experience here. A friend and I went to watch Sunday night football. It was cool that they had an MC for the game, $5 Jell-O shots floating around, and of course the dozens of TV's so you have a view of the game from every angle. We were lucky to get seated quickly shortly before game time, I think having a small party helped with that. Service was a little slow to start but it did pick up. They were slammed and we weren't in a hurry, but we really appreciated that our waitress was super friendly and would stop by to give us updates on our food or drinks so we didn't feel forgotten. The SNF deal was great too! 10 wings for $10 and we each got their $5 margarita plus 50 cents to make it dragon fruit, strawberry, etc. Can't beat that! The wings were good, the sauces were tasty. The nachos were alright, a little bland and a lot of the cheese was at the bottom under the chips. Overall it was a fun environment to watch the game. read more

The service in the food and bar area is consistently terrible. Slow service and response time, very inconsistent drink quality from the bar, and severe lack in any interest in improving the experience. I have waited a couple years between visits - hoping this time would be better than the last time. It wasn't, I can't help but feel like they're wasting the potential on what could be a great experience based on the need and demographic. It's a very last resort kind of establishment. read more

Horrible experience!! We went for Super Bowl after buying tickets to reserve table and all u can eat wings. 52 minutes for 1st order of wings. 38 minutes to get a coke. No water refill, alcoholic drinks took over an hour. Waiter had disappeared for 20-30 minutes at a time. The only reason I'm giving 2 stars is because a server by the name of Deja is as amazing. She helped us and brought refills after she noticed our waiter disappeared. She was trying her best to help us along with rest of the tables our that our horrible waiter left. We left before 1/2 time because we couldn't get service or food. Waisted $100 on 3 tickets for crappy service and no food. read more

Came here to celebrate my nephew's 5th grade graduation. We made a reservation for our party of 7 and were seated right away when we arrived. Ordered the cali avo caesar salad, southwest salmon bowl, lemon pepper wings, garlic parm brussel sprouts, chicken avocado club, and a couple kids' dishes. The food came out at different times, so some people were almost done with their meals by the time others received theirs. The staff was MIA for long periods of time, especially when we needed help, so service wasn't the greatest. In terms of food quality and taste, everything was just okay. They skimped on most of the ingredients in the salads, the brussel sprouts and lemon pepper wings were slightly overcooked and didn't stand out in any way... and when we asked my nephew what he thought about his chicken tenders, his only response was "they took foreeeever!" The kid has a point. Inattentive sevice, long wait times, they didn't even provide utensils in a timely manner (after we requested repeatedly). I obviously don't recommend dining here, but the $2 beer special, which they have on Sundays, was cool. And we had fun playing the games, most of the arcade machines in good condition with cool themes like Willy Wonka and Guardians of the Galaxy, as well as carnival arcade games, Speed of Light, lots of hoops, dodgeball, and even a fishing game called Wicked Tuna (those last two were unique ones). 4 stars for the arcade, and clean and modern environment. 2 stars for the food and service. 3 stars overall. read more

Came on a first date. Sat at the bar area and wanted to order food and drinks. Nobody came to our table, so my date went to the bartender and ordered our food and drinks. They took a minute to come out. Food wasn't too bad. Drinks were good. We never had anyone check in on us (not surprised). To pay the tab, we went to the bartender to ring us up. I mean, it's Dave and Busters...don't have any high expectations! read more

Extremely Disappointed with the Restaurant Service I had a very bad experience at the restaurant area of Dave & Buster's. When I was seated, the table was still dirty from the previous customers crumbs, used napkins, and cups left behind. I waited patiently at first, but after several minutes no one came to clean it. I asked three different times for someone to come by, including asking the hostess directly, and still nobody ever showed up. After waiting far too long, I finally just got up and left. It's really disappointing because I was looking forward to enjoying the food and games, but the lack of basic service and attention made the experience unpleasant. Hopefully management improves staff responsiveness and cleanliness in the restaurant area this location needs much better customer service. read more

I have to say, my family and I have had a great time every time we've been. This facility is spacious, clean, and has just about every type of arcade game you can imagine. I also like that you can dine while the kids play, making it an easy and, predominately, stress free experience. It's worth downloading the app, as you'll find weekly specials for games and/or food. I've also been very impressed with the employees and service received... People seem to genuinely like working here and are friendly and helpful...something that isn't often the case at many places these days. Job well done to the hiring manager (and stellar employees!) I also like that the prizes seem like actual prizes... Not complete wastes, never to be touched again. My kiddo enjoyed his 10th birthday party here, too! The online booking system made it very easy to schedule, with prompt follow up. read more

Went here recently and it truly was a one star establishment. The bar/restaurant staff seems to enjoy ignoring the customers. Particularly when it isn't busy. The bar food comes out cold. The drinks sit empty begging to be refilled. Please take our money! No you wait. I spoke to a parent there who said their kids' pre-planned birthday party was a disaster. The food came out one hour late for a 8 year old birthday party. What a joke. read more

I wanted to attend an event promoted on the official Dave N Busters website specifically at this location. Attempted to call this morning to ask about this event. Called 5 times throughout the morning and afternoon to confirm this ppv event was happening. Had to go in person around 2 hours before the ppv was to start and the customer service rep confirmed the ppv will be playing somewhere in the dining area. I thought "cool, they're following through with their own promotion". I show up around 5 and ask the bar staff to turn on the ppv. They are totally lost and have no idea what's going on. I show them the promotion for this location on their own website and still nothing, they have no idea and I need to go to the front customer service area so I wait in the never ending customer service line to ask. 16 year old customer service rep gives me a blank stare and States the event starts at 8 pm, then he realized it's 8 pm EST and he's like "oh it's supposed to be now!". I ask him to phone a manager to find out if they are airing the event they are promoting on their own website. Manager has no idea what I'm talking about despite AEW events being promoted on their own website. While I was there the venue was very loud and noisy and my experience with customer service was bad. The bar area service was pretty bad. The line at customer service was bad and several people were upset with service. I was ready to spend money on drinks and food at this location but unfortunately they don't want my business. That's cool I'm happy to spend it elsewhere! read more

I had not stepped into a Dave & Busters in years but came for a birthday celebration and it was totally revamped from the last time I had gone. The machines are high tech where you just tap your card on it like a credit card to play. Some games are on the pricier side and you need to save up your points to get anything good from the prize redemption. The service was great and we had a party of 15. Food came out quickly. I had the pretzel sticks with cheese which were hot and tasty. The bar was huge and drinks looked great! Will definitely be back to play some more games read more

Came with my family to have dinner and some fun. The service was absolutely horrible. Took a long time for someone to even come and take our drink order. When someone finally came, I ordered a sauv blanc...I had to ask the waiter to check on my wine because everyone else had their drinks and he told me that they were actually out of it (I was halfway done with my food at this point). I ordered a different wine instead. My dad, brother, and sister didn't get their food until my fiance and I were done with our food. My club sandwich was pretty good. Wanted bbq sauce for my fries but had I waited for sauce, my fries would have been cold. read more

Went to Dave and busters. Waited 3+ hours never got a call I was next in line and seen people sitting down before me, left somewhere else.

The worst service in the bar area, not once but twice! How is it that I sit down at a table and don't even have service for over 30 minutes? I finally went up to the bar to order and after 1 hour still did not get my food. The manager was supposed to refund my bill and to date hasn't. This is the 2nd time we've been underwhelmed by their service and timing. The games are fun for the kids so I gave it a two, but do yourself a favor and eat within the mall, then go here for the kids to play. read more

Went to celebrate our daughter's 14th birthday on a Saturday with her 3 friends. They sat us in the surrounding bar area at a dirty table that we waited to be cleaned. After 20 minutes, my husband flagged down another server who said he'd "take us" although it wasn't his table or section. While the girls went to play games, we waited another 10 - 15 minutes for waters, and had to request utensils and napkins for our appetizers. Overall, the service was subpar. It was crowded but not enough to notice all the sidebar conversations between staff. Not the D&B service in Fairfield (which we normally go to) which is a what we expected... at least greet us! Appetizers were OK, TV's were loud and the staff seemed disconnected from customers. We had to request soda refills, food was room temperature... the only plus was the server that eventually waited on us tried to save face once he spoke with us and realized we run a catering business... while other employees just walked past us. Such a disappointment for our baby girl! Won't be returning. read more

Came in to try this again. I made a reservation 1 week in advance. When I arrive, I was told my reservation was not valid because they were full. What's the point of working with open table for reservation if you will not honer them? I proceeded to speak with the manager and was told that open table had no idea what was going on inside the establishment. If you will not honor reservations then remove the option of reserve. Ridiculous management and poor management in my opinion hope open table removed them from their platform. No wonder the low reviewed for this establishment. Save your money and go somewhere else. They just need to sell this place. Zero experience from management how to run a restaurant/bar read more

D &B have always been a good place to come and hang out and play video games. The service is great. My server is wonderful. Her name is. Stephanie and she was wonderful. Very knowledgeable about everything on the menu. It was a great help in helping me order my food and drinks.. I ordered the Dave & Buster's bacon burger. It came out pretty fast. It was delicious and a side of fries with my drink and I had a water with lemon.. the prices here are a little pricey, but overall the atmosphere is wonderful for A date or just some fun out with the kids. If you guys could do some about your pricing, that would be wonderful. The gaming area is too expensive to recharge the cards for kids to play. read more

Honestly the staff was pretty nice, the bartender that served me and my group was very attentive and helpful. Drinks were very very strong! Highly recommend any of the bevs with henny in them, best sleep ever after those bevs. The games were super fun and the prize selection was mid tho. The atmosphere was fun and inviting, the vibes were fun. The only thing I don't really recommend is the pool, the chalk was all over the place when we played!!! It looked very unprofessional, it was also 14 dollars an hour for pool and most of the pool sticks were broken. read more

New year and new disappointment. I visited around 6:49 pm on 1/01/2026. And the guy at the counter looked mad that we asked for a table. He took some plates that were on the table and spilled every contents on table. He took over five minutes to clear some plates and did not even care to wipe the table, i was surprised that Dave and busters is now providing some tooth cleaning tools. Exiting new changes for the new year! After sitting down the staff haven't taken our food orders it been over 18 minutes as i am writing this review as I'm waiting for anyone to come help us.

It's fun but pretty expensive especially if you don't go on a Wednesday, for those playing games. We go here time to time, and it's getting to a point it's getting too expensive to go. It's fun for families but watch how expensive some of the games can be, you'll run out of credits before you know it. The location is very nice and clean, i've yet to eat here yet as it's not that far away for our family. Help with the games is here and there if you need technical help. Would i go again, maybe, i just would try to limit our spending. Btw some of the point redemptions for prizes are pretty ridiculous. If you really want a toy they have check online first, cause it's usually cheaper there, than at the arcade read more
