    Dave and Busters was a bit of a bust last night. Don't get me wrong the fun they have to offer in a fast paced arcade for the kids is great and our server and the manager were polite and attentive, however I think the kitchen staff let their team and us down last night. We ordered our food and only got the salmon protein bowl brought out while still missing all the rest of the food for our party of 6. The manager and server were nice and tried their best to figure out what happened. Eventually the staff had said they accidentally dropped the tray of food before bringing it out. It took about 30-40 minutes to actually get our food so always really an hour from when we ordered to when we got our food. I did enjoy the buffalo wings we had as appetizers. I also was not very partial to either the guac or the cauliflower elote as the flavors were a bit bland on those appetizers. Once we got our food they had brought out my sons burger with cheese but we ordered no cheese because he doesn't like it and doesn't know what is good in life so yet another wait for him to actually get his food. I did like the spicy hombre cocktail which is made with an aged tequilla. The staff offered us free desserts and a $10 game card to make up for the food wait and errors. We appreciate that. To top it off I was brought the check on their hand held devices and it was not working so had to wait for the server to bring another to check out. We have been to Dave and Busters many times but this visit was not one we would like to remember. Hopefully next time we have a better experience as I figured it was just an off night.

    We do continue to frequent Dave and Buster's despite far from marvelous past experiences. One Wednesday night, there was a man present in the arcade wearing a shirt that read "KILL CREW" who had a handgun visible and strapped to his hip. We got the heck out of there SO FAST that night. Super scary ... especially since Dave and Buster's serves alcohol & people frequently indulge too much. Last night. I was eating in a party of 5 with my 2 children among the guests. A drunk lady who was inside an inner tube she had won on the "Human Crane" actually fell into me whilst I was sitting in my booth. This combination of drunken clumsy behavior and firearms in the same environment at the same time is not safe. All of this aside, the reason I am updating my review, primarily, is because of the stellar service provided by our waiter, Braxton, last night. He was genuine and provided excellent service even when presented with the awkwardness of that woman falling on me. We truly appreciated his presentation. He was not at all phony or displaying a superficial personality. We see that all too often from our Dave and Buster's servers so his sincere nature was truly refreshing. When we come back, I hope we have the good fortune of being seated in his section once again. His contributions to our overall experience made the evening so much fun. Thanks Braxton. You, yourself, are a 5 star server.

    Nachos that were so salty

    This was my first time visiting this location, and unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from the moment we walked in. Upon arrival, we walked through both sides of the restaurant and found no staff members in sight. After several minutes, we had to walk behind the front desk toward the bar area, where someone finally acknowledged us and told us to seat ourselves, as there was still no host present. Once seated, we placed an order for the chicken nachos, which arrived with an overwhelming amount of chips and only a minimal drizzle of cheese. The queso was overly salty--so much so that the dish was inedible. The kids' meals were fine, as were the cauliflower elote and the guacamole with chips, both of which were enjoyable. We also ordered the Philly cheesesteak eggrolls, which were delicious, but the chicken parmesan pasta was another letdown--extremely salty and inedible. After finishing the meal, we waited over 30 minutes for the check, during which time our server never returned to ask about additional drinks or if we needed anything else. We observed several other guests who also appeared frustrated and voiced similar concerns. When we finally spoke with the manager, he explained that only one server was working the entire restaurant and also responsible for taking orders and cashiering. He acknowledged that they don't staff the front desk on Mondays and Tuesdays, which results in guests seating themselves--something that undoubtedly impacts the guest experience. Although the chicken parmesan was removed from our bill, the overall visit was disappointing due to the lack of service, poorly prepared food, and inadequate staffing, especially given that the restaurant was not at full capacity. Manager came back for three game cards for the kids and just apologized. His name was Alex and said that they don't have anybody. They only have one person that's the way our industry has made it.

    Fun night! I was there for a corporate event and I finally got to see the private event room. Spacious and clean from the first look. Our boss paid for some game cards, so I got to play some games. All of the finger food was good. Loved that the buffet line is two sided so 150 of us didn't have to wait long. Service was good. Every server was constantly cleaning up around us, which I appreciate.

    The food is like bar food, but still good burgers fries. The service is friendly fast. The ambience is really cool a ton of games a lot of parking for regular vehicles and handicap. You're right next to Cardinal Stadium and a bunch of other food places within walking distance highly recommend this place perfect for a family get together or birthday parties.

    Dave & Buster's was very generous in donating space and food for our recent Make A Wish Foundation volunteer recognition event. The food was fresh and ample, the room was quiet and very well kept, staff were friendly. Food was a little late arriving but otherwise everything was great and be unlimited play cards for the evening were a wonderful and generous touch! Thank you to all involved!

    Pretzel Dogs, Bone-In Wings, Fried Pickles,

    This was our favorite place with the best burgers. We came in hungry for some lunch on a Sunday afternoon. We were told we could seat ourselves anywhere by a server putting in an order at the server station. The two of us sat at a booth and waited about 8-10 minutes for the same server to greet us. She apologized for the extended wait. It was not a problem. We proceeded and ordered a a bacon cheeseburger and pretzel dog bites, fried pickles and wings. After some time the burger was delivered by a different server and after a few minutes our server came by and said, we're just waiting for the rest of your food". I said no problem. I waited for 20 minutes without my food being delivered. I finally called over a different server and asked for the manager. The manager, Jason Hall came over and I told him what had transpired and I asked " how am I still waiting for the rest of my food going on 30minutes now." He was immediately defensive. His response to me was to say, " Because people are human." He proceeded to double down and offered to bring me the food that has been dying in window under the heat lamp for the last 30minutes, saying, " other than bring you the food in the window what else do you want me to do?" I said," I'm not eating food that's been dying in the window for the past 30 minutes." He walked away to take the burger off the check that did make it to the table. When Jason returned he came back a different person.His attitude had changed. He was no longer on the defense. He apologized for coming off the way he did and offered everything he could to make the situation right. Another manager, Dabnee-an apologized to us after as well. While I appreciate and accepted their efforts and apologies I don't believe I would come back nor recommend Dave and Busters. The service and atmosphere is disappointingly subpar.

    Worst customer service ever they're never on time they're super slow. The food in the drinks are always barely made with any positive intent of being good or looking good. The ambience is cool to watch a game if you don't have to deal with a server or a bartender.

I had to order the Adult Mac & Cheese, and let me tell you--it never disappoints. This dish is the definition of comfort food. The creamy cheese sauce, earthy mushrooms, and rich truffle flavor are always perfectly balanced. It's one of those meals I can count on being consistently delicious every single time. My husband ordered one of their burgers and upgraded his fries to the Garlic Parmesan Fries. If you're a garlic lover, I highly recommend making that upgrade. The garlic flavor is bold and intense in the best way possible. It's great to know this location delivers the same quality and consistency as every other Yard House I've visited. Even though the restaurant was extremely busy, the staff worked hard to keep up with everyone and still provided friendly, attentive service.

I had been to all 3 Valley locations Glendale (Westgate), Phoenix (Desert Ridge), & Scottsdale (Fashion Square Mall) [Scottsdale one no longer exists]. My 1st visit to a Yard House ever was this Glendale location in 2008. My friend invited me to this location citing their great happy hour. I remember I liked the sliders on the happy hour pricing, which was cheap back then. A wide variety of beer options and huge glasses the length of a half yard. A full yard would be difficult to drink and way too much beer to drink in one sitting; plus the beer would get warm & flat by the time you'd finish a whole yard of beer. Staff was nice at the Glendale location. Now, 18 years later happy hour is still good albeit different and yes more expensive but still good deal relative to normal price.

    I love pickleball. I love chicken. Naturally, I love Chicken N Pickle…read more This place is just plain fun. One of the best things about pickleball is that almost anyone can play. You don't have to be a world-class athlete to have a good time, and that's part of what makes it so addictive. My first visit was with my wife and some cousins and aunts visiting from Iowa. We spent the afternoon playing a few spirited games of pickleball--which I absolutely dominated, for the record--while enjoying some snacks and drinks before heading inside for dinner. The food was surprisingly good. I'd describe it as elevated bar food that actually delivers on the flavor. The staff was friendly, the atmosphere was energetic without feeling overwhelming, and the entire place just had a welcoming vibe. We'll definitely be back... and back... and back.
