I love both dave AND buster because they told me that I'm pretty. I came here for my 57th birthday party and got a little wild off of the margs but it's okay because dave carried me to my Uber afterwards. My husband sucked at all of the games and embarrassed me a little bit but buster gave me a lava lamp for free even though we didn't have enough tickets. It was the craziest night of my life and I felt like I was 21 all over again. I wish I could quit my job and spend all of my time here, thanks again dave and buster, I'm gonna leave my husband for you both. PS. The creole shrimp dip is to die for read more

Food was awesome, had a small hiccup with speed of food delivery but Biakara kept his cool and his customer service was amazing looks like we came on a super busy day. Although we did not request a manager the manager Summer came to check on us, Summer was also super amazing! Very nice kind and really made sure that we were OK. Our visit was for my daughter's 12th birthday and we have no regrets for coming to dave and busters. 5 stars were well deserved! I didn't take pictures right when food came out but the food was really good. Thank you Biakara and Summer! read more

I'm still a fan of this place, and even more so now that they have renovated and redone their space. It has a MUCH edgier, hipper and modern feel while still providing a family atmosphere as well! I'll be returning again :) read more

Took Wonder Wife, and a few of our kids there today to just hang out and have some fun. The food was actually pretty good... similar to a Chili's, but a bit more upscale. Also, a bit more expensive - we averaged about $21 per person. I was very disappointed that they don't have pool tables anymore, but I'm not sure how popular that is now... since I'm in my middle 120's now. LOL Their game variety is pretty good, however - as usual - they specifically make it so you can't figure out how much you're spending on a game. We each got 170 chips on our card which worked out to 6.8 chips for $1.00. Then, you go and play a game which costs 5.6 chips. So, playing that game would cost around $0.83. Unless you put only $10 on your card (48 chips, or 4.8 chips for $1), which would make the game cost $1.42. Easy, right? It's a fun time, but unless you carry a calculator around, it can get pretty pricey pretty quickly. read more

I don't ever leave negative reviews but I mean wtf! 18+ to go into a arcade. I've never had an issue going here when I was even younger and pains me because I have such fond memories here. Either the staff didn't care that rule existed then or somebody in management needs to be fired for making an illogical rule. They made the argument that "you need to have an ID that says 18 or older because there's alcohol present in the arcade." Using that same logic shouldn't I need to show an ID to go into a restaurant that serves alcohol even if it isn't a bar? Or to go into a gas station that sells cigarettes and beer. And also why 18 if it's a matter of alcohol, shouldn't it be 21 then? And according to their policies: "Persons under the age of 18 or 21 (varies by location) may only enter the premises with a guardian who is at least 25 years of age. Each guardian may bring no more than 6 underage persons into the premises." But they didn't ask for the ID of my "legal guardian" and when they were 24. read more

Horrible experience. All around terrible place, people and management. Dave and Buster's sponsored the south high after prom and the whole school was so excited to go. After 40 minutes (11:40) they kicked the entire school out AND shut down our event. While 2 other schools were there they only kicked out south and refuse to provide evidence, reasoning, or our money bad. Terrible place, Terrible management DO not go here. read more

I have never had the displeasure of being kicked out of an arcade for being underaged, me and my friend were turned away after being asked to show our Id's and not being of "proper age" to enter an arcade. It blows my mind how an arcade for children now ID's you. I don't know what your policy makers were smoking when they prohibited arcade games from children but goodness. read more

They actually have really good food. The truffle fries are sooo good and I had a chicken dish with mashed potatoes that was very tasty. My son played a ton of game for his birthday weekend in Denver. We took him back again before we left town and he loved it. Prizes are pretty cool too. We'll be back. read more

This visit was on November 23rd around 11:00 am. My daughter wanted to take my wife, me and her four nieces and nephews here for lunch and arcade games. After reading the reviews I recommended against it. So glad she is hard headed. We started with lunch (couple of shared appetizers and plates) which were actually pretty good. The nachos were huge with a good amount of toppings, and the pizza (both flatbread and kids') were tasty. Priced about the same as comparable level restaurants. Our server (Jasmine) was very professional and great with the kids. Nothing fazed her and she recommended and made an upsell. Win - win. Four kids under 8, kudos to her! The building was appealing, the inside was clean and as well lit as would be expected. It was noisy but not so loud to prevent talking to each other. There were some games/rides that were out of order, but plenty of other very similar that were great substitutions. I saw the manager several times during our visit (front desk, games area, redemption area and he even stopped at our lunch table to check on us. There seemed to be plenty of staff. We had a great time and will be going back! read more

This particular visit to this location was terrible. We went on Thursday night December 21 from 6-10pm. When we first arrived we sat at a table in the actual restaurant area. We sat there for about 6 minutes, and nobody approached our table. We walked up to the bar in the arcade and sat down. Assuming we would at least be acknowledged, which we were, but the bartender rudely said we couldn't sit there because my daughter wasn't old enough. I'm fine with the age restrictions, but she sent us right back to the same situation we were in before. Just sitting.......sitting......NOTHING. The bartender could have come out and taken our orders at least. There were no customers at the bar. Aside from the horrible service, these tables were sticky, filthy, and uncomfortable to eat at. They didn't even clean the tables. When I walked across the bar to get game cards, I laid eyes on 2 bartending gals just chatting it up and not moving a finger. Obviously not caring about the mess or customers around them. read more

Dave & Buster's Denver - Dirty tables and sticky menus. - American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This place is very understaffed. I don't think there were more than two wait staff members working dozens of tables, it look just a half hour for the check and to pay. At least five of the arcade machines weren't functioning yet were turned on still proceeded to take our money. read more

DO NOT EAT/DRINK HERE. We had a great time here playing games last night, but everything else was terrible. I am an unusually patient person and it takes a LOT for me to write a negative review, but this was just absurd. The first red flag was when we went to the bar in the arcade to grab a drink and watched three employees chatting behind the bar for a solid 10 minutes, every single one of them making eye contact with us at some point, then just continuing their convo without saying a word to us. Then, when one of them finally came over to help us, she whipped out a can of hairspray and started spraying her hair. In the middle of the bar. Around all of the drinks/glasses/etc. Later, we sat down for dinner and everything went downhill. We ordered two waters, one beer, one app and two entrees. When our app came after ~20 mins, we asked for the drinks we'd ordered that never arrived. Another 20 minutes goes by.... nothing. We have watched multiple parties sit down, order and receive several rounds of drinks by now. We went to the bar to try and get help; after standing there for 15-20 mins, nobody would help us. While standing there, we watched an employee, behind the bar, vaping and ****taking sips out of drinks on a serving tray, about to go out to customers****. It's now been over an hour. We decided to leave because even if our food and drinks miraculously arrived, we would not trust consuming them after the unsanitary conditions we witnessed. read more

Best place for food fun and gaming freedom! Check this out if you are looking for a great time out with all ages.

We went here last night for a celebration of buying a new home . Service is dreadful here, GM and manager were walking around apologizing for the long wait . So many people walked out ! It took 40 minutes for drinks and almost 2 hours for food . Very, very crowded . My French fries were so disgusting and soggy , tasted wet and cold . We only had 3 adults and a child . 2 hours for a microwave child's pizza , deep fried fish and chips, wings and a burger and fries . So gross, we ate it , because we were starving . Won't go back to this location again , the food is nasty !!!!! read more

This place is awesome. Good food, fun games, great atmosphere. I actually use this spot for dates I go on and it's always a success! I highly recommend for just fun or anything else! read more

Welp, what's there to say about a big chain corporation? They can charge what they want because they know we'll be back! Hahah. Been here multiple times over the years. I've had horrible to great experiences. They remodeled a while back and it looks very nice! I also like the live DJ they have late nights. Seems like they are always changing up the games, food, and drinks so that's a plus. Keeps things exciting! Here's my review of the food. We ordered the Fives All Around appetizer ($23), Bistro Steak and Shrimp with Lobster Alfredo Linguine entree ($20), Bananas Foster Pie ($7) and Grape Candy Chill drink ($5). The appetizer had a lot of variety and perfect for a large group. The pasta was creamy and delicious, but my steak was a bit undercooked and no lobster flavor to be found. I know it's lobster "sauce," but I think the title is misleading. The dessert was okay, tasted more like banana pie with caramel drizzle. The drink tasted like a grape flavored snow cone with gummy worms! Fun idea, but the gummies get hard if you don't eat them right away. Overall the food was good, but a bit pricey. Probably would have been a better value if they offered the game card with entree, but they don't on Fridays and Saturdays- boo. read more

If I can choose no stars I would. This was the worst service ever and we have been coming here for years. First we were told that it was open siting, we were surprised since it was a Saturday night but we sat down. Waited a while for our waiter to come around and the first question that we got was "did someone get your order?" When we replied "no" our waiter was pretty annoyed with us. We waited a while, ordered our food, and right before that we asked for some waters (since this was not offered when we sat down) we got our food, were about to pay and we realized that we had a coupon (free entree) since we looked at the D&B app. We showed it to our waited and his response was " you were supposed to show me this before you ordered" (no where in the app does it say we have to show it before) he came with his manager and this is when everything went downhill and I decided to speak up. I was tired of our waiters attitude, how dismissive he was, rude, and the way he wanted to argue with us. At this point I was so annoyed and just told him to charge me for the full bill (we are not a family that is going to argue for a free meal) I really lost it when I was ready to tap my card and this waiter was tapping his foot like he was annoyed that I called him out. I told the manager that I was not going to stand for that disrespect and that someone else needed to help me. We paid for our bill and left. My advice is that you shouldn't tell people that is open sitting because obviously your waiters are not ok with that. read more

This place is a mess on Saturday night. You definitely need to be in the mindset for a family place mixed with a bar atmosphere. My partner and I came for a fun date night not realizing that it wasn't really what we expected. Although it wasn't for us, it's absolutely a great place for families. read more

paid for multiple games that didn't even work and when I asked for a refund I just got harsh response. Terrible arcade don't waste your time. read more

Unsafe - be careful! I visited Dave and Busters with my wife and daughters yesterday. My daughters were playing a large Connect Four game in the back, and my wife and I were standing behind them watching. We were all having a great time. This game is next to a fast pitch baseball game - I think it might be called Hyper Pitch - that asks players to throw a baseball as hard as they can at a target. A couple of men in their 20s were playing the game. While they were playing, one of their pitches ricocheted off the frame of the game and somehow hit my daughter in the back of the head and then bounced off my wife's face. It wasn't a gentle bounce either - the ball was moving fast, and it was as hard as a normal baseball. The guys who threw the pitch laughed while my daughter was crying (not great!). The game wasn't set up with safety in mind: it's in the middle of a bunch of games aimed at younger players, and there's not sufficient protective fencing around it to protect Dave and Busters customers from these types of errant throws. We made our way over to the bar to get some ice for the noticeable lump on the back of my daughter's head and to register a complaint. The bartender helped us get the ice, then literally said "I can get a manager for you, but he won't be able to do anything for you." She wasn't familiar with the game in question, nor did she seem particularly concerned about the safety issue. So, my advice is to avoid this location. If you do go with your kids, you should supervise them carefully and be mindful of your surroundings (and avoid the part of the arcade with the pitching game). read more

I had a great time and the food was really good . The game room made me feel like a little kid again read more

Dave & Buster's Denver - Philly French dip with truffles fries - American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We had a lot of fun.. Big screen T v's everywhere made watching sporting events very easy. The games are amazing. The food the food not so great a very unexciting menu and the taste was very marginal. So go for the fun not for the food read more

I'm really surprised this D&B has such low ratings. Our experience was pretty good. Our server was awesome and very personable. She really helped us make a decision that would best fit our hunger and play needs. We sat in the arcade area near the bar. We arrived around the time of happy hour...thank goodness!! Our drinks were good and for $5 a piece that wasn't horrible at all. For food, we went with the dip trio. It came with chips, queso, guacamole and black bean dip. I'm a vegetarian so our server was sweet enough to put the steak that typically goes on the queso to the side for my kiddo. Since it was Wed, the games were half off. Yay! Most of all the games were working. There was a good balance of games for adults and kiddos. This location was clean and nice. If I had to make a complaint, I would say that the staff in the prize room should be more friendly. Remember their customer service tips. Our kiddo was really excited to get prizes and she was not very happy to be at work. Otherwise, we will be returning to this location. Happy Yelping! read more

Excellent service with a large group for lunch this week. Our service was top notch and anyone who came to the table had a big smile on their face. All dishes were hot, on time, and delicious. The manager and the staff were top notch and came to check on our table several times. The truffle fries are to die for and I could have just had a plate of them for lunch. Highly recommend taking your group to D&B for a great time! We will be back! read more

I really wanted to give this place a better review than the many I saw on here, but unfortunately my experience doesn't allow me to. I'll start by saying I spent about four hours here with a party of seven, starting with dinner and staying for the games. Everyone in my party had mixed reviews about their food. They raved about the beer tube (sharing a 50oz tube, but really got 90oz by an apparent mistake) however found the mixed drinks to be far overpriced. Myself and another friend each ordered a dip trio. I didn't find any of the three dips to be anything notable. Queso and guac were okay, but the bean dip didn't have much flavor--my friend felt the same. Another friend ordered the impossible burger, but was disappointed to see that she didn't get the tomatoes with it. The rest of the group enjoyed their meals of sliders, burgers, and mac & cheese. The games were fun. We each spent $23 on our cards and we got a few hours of fun play time with the large variety of things to do and play. It was very crowded on a Saturday night so most games had a wait, but that was to be expected. Having fun with my friends at the arcade was the only redeeming factor of this visit for me, as the final aspect is what pushed my disappointment and dissatisfaction over the edge. The staff. Besides who seemed like the manager who helped my friends update an old game card they had, and one host who cracked some jokes with us, I did not meet any other friendly staff members. In fact, they were incredibly inattentive, disrespectful, and rude. Since we spent so much time here, I could think of at least five staff who gave me this negative attitude, with my friends having said they had poor experiences as well. To start, our waitress Presley made us feel uncomfortable and made me feel embarrassed. As the only single person in the party (joined by three couples) she gave a chuckle when my friends said our checks would be split up by 2-2-2-1. That's never a way to make your customer feel good and my friends all picked up on the awkward tension after that. We also saw that our checks were all ripped off on the tops, so my friend asked what the coupon was for (since we saw the word coupon right after it was ripped). Presley condescendingly answered that the receipts are very long, so they all rip them off, but the top part contained a survey. She kept saying, "so I can give you a survey if you want the survey" in a way that rubbed us all wrong. She wasn't blatantly rude, but was not a welcoming server. Another poor experience I had was with the bar staff in the arcade area. They were rude to my friend when she asked for a soda, and in one case in particular I stood beside three staff members for at least a minute while they were watching and talking about the game on TV before they unkindly asked me if I needed something. I was told I had to sit at the bar or a table before I could be served, so I sat. I waited at least ten minutes until I finally flagged a server down, and another five after that before she sent someone over to me. This was the same man who told me to sit in the first place, so I don't understand why it took so long for him to take my order. Not a single smile or kind tone of voice. I can only imagine the stress of working somewhere so loud and fast paced, but there is a difference between being overwhelmed and being careless about your customers. I wasn't expecting much at all, just a quick apology for the wait or a smile when spoken to. But I was completely let down by MANY of the staff here, beyond what I've written about. Again, the games were fun which merited an additional star, but I find customer service and hospitality to be the first priority and I received none of that during my visit. read more

We often come here for our kids birthdays but this may be the last time. I now see why they have such a poor overall rating. Even though they do not take reservations, we were quoted a 1.5 hour wait for a table! Sure it is a Saturday but it's somewhat early. And as we look into the dining room, there are a bunch of empty tables. We tried to get an explanation but that never happened. Interestingly enough, we watched and the tables never got filled. Seems like we were lied to and they were actually short staffed. So we had to find a spot at their "free seating" area and sat with a nice pair of perfect strangers. After waiting 10 minutes for the table to be cleaned and menus we finally got to order. Apparently they are getting new menus soon so don't order the steak fries! The food is adequate at best and the service could be better. Obviously, people come for the games which are fun when you can actually get the machine to read the card. And if the game is actually working. Two of my favorite games were broken down with nobody to fix them. Good luck getting someone to help. After playing games my son wanted a slice of chocolate cake to celebrate. Well, it seems that they ran out of cake. Great ending to his special day. Thanks Dave and busters! You can tell when a company cares about customer service and things like yelp. I don't see that here. read more

Pleasantly surprised by eating at Dave & Busters. We went on a Saturday night. We were seated with a little wait. Food was tasty and they had gf options. The game area itself was very busy and loud. I wouldn't want to come here at night with kids. It was hard to stay together with a small group of 5 people and play games. read more

We were looking forward to visiting D&B's while in Denver and I was pretty disappointed with our trip. The menu was extremely different than it was online, but our waitress was really friendly and overly helpful! After eating we decided to get a card to play games with, it said $15, but it was really $18 with a "card activation fee". We went to do a co-op Guitar Hero game, only to see AFTER we paid that the second controller was broken and completely unplayable. Then we went to play Skee-ball, my wife tapped the card and only ONE ball came out and she had to play the entire game like that. I went to tap the card at the Skee-ball next to her and I was stopped by another customer telling me THAT one is broken and they've already wasted money on it. After a few more games, we only had 7.7 points left to play with, and there was barely any games that took less than 7.8 points. We then went to the prize section and got our dumb little prizes (sticky hands) and left. Overall I would say D&B is far too expensive for the experience. A burger and fries was $17 after tax, there was a fee for activating a card, and we only got to play a handful of games before the card ran out. A majority of the games were overpriced and didn't even work. I would recommend not wasting your money here. read more

Beep bopped over to D&B while waiting for car maintenance. Haven't been here since my kiddo was little. The place was super clean, not busy(thankfully). Had Katrina as my bar staff. Service with a smile and super friendly conversation. I had something called a backwoods lemonade...or something like that. Tasty! Fries were a lil too salty, but I'm not salty, so who cares. If I'm ever over here again, I'd come back. I like it when it's not too busy or too loud. Just what I needed. Good luck in school, Katrina!!! read more

Super fun place to play games and drink, however I would recommend coming after 9:30 pm it's when less children are around and you can finally play all the games that are hogged by the families. read more

The Food is Fair at best. I had the Ribs/WIngs combo and the ribs were just not good, not tender, and lacked flavor. Others in our party also felt the food lacked flavor and were not fans of their meals. The cost with a game card attached is a bit high. The restrooms were really dirty. We notifed management and when we left 2 hours later, the restrooms were still filthy. Probably wont return. read more

We come here at least once a month four our traditional D&B night. We are a group of adults just having fun and being silly. Camila and Kiya are always here and giving us the best service!

After moving here from New York, it was great to walk into Dave and Buster's and actually have space to move around! The layout of this Dave and Buster's is better than what I am used to, which makes for an enjoyable time. The game selection has something for everyone and easily pleased the group I went with. I can't speak to the food as we didn't eat here, but their drinks are sugary and delicious. The Blueberry Lemonade and Long Island Iced Tea are two of my favorites. I love that I can always rely on Dave and Busters to be exactly what I expect in a night out - that will keep me coming back. read more

Had a great experience tonight to the thanks and extra effort and customer service by Austin and Funya. Had a problem a month ago with my power cards and they took care of me. They ended up not working again and Austin went the extra mile and walked us to a few games to make sure the cards worked. They ended up not working again but the kids were happy and we had a blast! We will be back again because of these 2 employees especially read more

Astonishinlgy horrible service at D&B. You can check my history and see I don't leave reviews. I will however when service is this bad. Got a simple attitude from the cashier at the front. No big deal. Suppose that happens. Bring the kids to the back and head to the bar before video games - ya know adult stuff. We stand there for 10 minutes with not even recognition we are there. We watch three other people get served before us - and arrived after us. Then another customer walks up next to us and gets addressed with, "I'll be right with you." Wife interjects and says we are next. Bartender "Frankie" walks off shaking her head. We stand there for another 5 minutes and she comes back.... "I don't care who was next, what do you want?" Wha? I tell her you can shake your head all you want but we are paying customers and to have others served before us and this attitude is unacceptable. She then refuses to serve us. Huh? We just got here. Had to address the issue with the manager (mildly concerned at best) and "Sunshine." She helped out and tried to make things right. Hard to do when you have two little ones in tow that wanted to play games and we get the runaround from the bartender. Keep up the good work Frankie. You are something special and deserve less than the star left for you. I'm sure her name tag will change. The smug blonde attitude won't. read more
