    We had the worst time here. On a very special day. We had a reservation for 11 for my daughter's 11th birthday. To start, when we got there, our table wasn't ready (no biggie) It was last night, a Monday night - and there were barely any other patrons. 3 of our 11 were infants/toddlers. 2 were young children. & 6 adults. Our waiter was barely around, but when he was, he was very friendly and nice (no complains about him as a person) HOWEVER - the service was a mess. Every single one of our dishes, minus the two adults that got pasta dishes, were COLD. not even.. lukewarm. Fries, cold. Burger, cold. Buffalo chicken sandwich, cold. Kids meals? COLD. Could serve the toddlers their food right away (& anyone with small children know about the cool down waiting period that tends to be the standard at any restaurant) Ordering drinks? It took 30 mins (& that's being kind) to fill them. And to order a new drink? It took equal that time to even see our waiter to try to order. My husband went and spoke to the manager, who said that a cook in the back just disappeared & didn't return, so they were short staffed. And listen, I'm no karen.. so I totally sympathize with that - but the restaurant was nearly EMPTY. Reservation was at 6:30... but didn't get to go play until a few minutes shy of 9:00 pm... and that wasn't because we were chatting and taking our time , it was painstakingly slow service. Half of our table got their food nearly 15 minutes before the second half of the table. And for ALL of it to come out cold, was CRAZY. The manager was very down to earth and completely understood how shitty this was. Gave us a small discount because we couldn't get the drinks for happy hour price (least of our worries) & even gave our birthday girl a $20 worth play card. That was all nice. He even had them remake the food. But at that point, we were all so over it. Thinking that you could eat a nice, quick(er), fun meal and then go play for hours, was on our agenda. And unfortunately, we were completely failed. I've never been one to complain about "not a big enough discount" - but what we paid versus the service we received (including the small discount) was a bitter pill to swallow. We are a verrry easy going group that we're willing to spend a lot of $ because it was a big occasion for us. And it was that bad that I felt like I needed to make a review.. Moral of the story, don't go to Dave and Busters when it's slow. You'll be ignored and forgotten about. Go when it's crazy busy and deal with the wait times that will make more sense in that scenario.. Best of luck to the manager, he has a mess to clean up.

    I have not been to the Dave and Buster's Hilliard in years, I saw they are doing renovations at the location. I have had burgers in the past, but decided to have Chicken Tenders with BBQ sauce, crispy fries, and Pineapple Slaw with Diet Coke to wash it down. Pineapple Slaw was very different, but good. The service was good despite Michael had lot of people at my table. I will be back to eat and play games at Dave and Buster's in Hilliard. I will have to check out the Polaris location too.

    I've been to this Dave and Busters since 2014 and I've never had a problem with them! The space is always clean and well decorated around the holidays. They have happy hour from 4-7PM Mondays - Fridays. I know you can earn plays when you buy food. The last time I went a few games were down and had to be fixed, but I was able to find someone to come help me and refund my credits right away. Drinks, food, and arcade games all in one. Always a fun time! A great date night, get together with friends, or bring a family.

    I ate a crispy chicken sandwich there , it was a little bit ok , sort of Also I asked for a regular Apple Juice , but they gave me a Baby apple juice for kids instead. But my favorite part was the Arcade Games , I really enjoyed playing the games there

    I was nicely surprised by the great service and pretty good food here. Our waiter could not have been friendlier and food came out quickly for hungry kids. The cheeseburger was way underdone, but the french fries were delicious. They have a full bar menu for the adults too. You buy game cards at one of the self serve kiosks. Wednesdays are half price game days, which we found out when we happened to go on a Wednesday. The kids got about two hours of game time for $40 per card. They earned "tickets" that can be redeemed in the gift shop. They came out with some "sticky hands" and "sound machines" they were pretty stoked about. The only negative was the bathrooms. Definitely could have been cleaner, and I felt the need for lots of hand sanitizer at the end of the night.

    I'm sorry, but construction is not a good enough excuse for the poor quality of dining we had at this location. we went for over an hour without drinks at our table for refills, waiter nowhere to be seen. There were forgotten orders, crazy rules about viewing peoples plates in order to get wing refills. get a grip, Dave and busters, if you're already struggling, maybe at least provide a good service. also, it's dirty in here, at least wipe down the tables before you sit people at them.

    I wasn't sure what to expect upon pulling into the parking lot. It's a small strip mall with…read morevarious businesses, and isn't intimidating by any means. It's definitely a hole-in-the-wall/dive bar, which honestly, is my favorite. I'm much more of a laid back person than the high-end bars downtown or the Short North. They have karaoke on Thursday's and it gets pretty busy! The vibe was awesome, people cheering for others even if they weren't American Idol-level. A close friend of mine MC's for it and uses a website that has almost 40k songs and you can reserve your spot and choose your song from it. It's pretty awesome not to lug those huge song books around. Our bartender Ashley was so sweet and attentive, sang some songs (she has a great voice) and worked really hard to keep everyone happy. Please know, there is no kitchen. However, they ordered pizza for everyone. Go up and grab a drink from Ashley! You can tell she enjoys her job!

    Just your typical dive bar. If you're not ready for that local dive experience this isn't the place…read morefor you. I was killing some time and stopped for a PBR. The doors were open (nice day) but it was still dark and smelled like smoke. There's darts and pool. There may have been food options but I didn't stay long enough to try them. If I'm ever in the area and want a cheap beer, that's definitely a good place to go. Nice to have this experience with so many fancy breweries opening up around town for balance.
