We stopped to check out D&B. So disappointed..... 10/11/22 @ 1:30 We sat at the bar, staff walked by several times without acknowledging us. There were 7 people at the bar and 1 table on the side of 2 people. So she certainly was not too busy to serve us. She started to empty the dishwasher , looked right at us and continued with her chore. Man...we walked out and went to BJ;s. Had great lunch and drinks. They missed out on a nice food and drink tab as well as a tip. Guess they don't need our business. read more

Horrible service and me and my family ended up with food Poisoning from the chicken. They didn't come up to take are order we waited over an hour then used the app to order then food took another hour they kept getting it wrong. You could tell they didn't kno what they were doing at all it was so disappointing. Games you cannot get help at all on games it was a disaster. read more

Never even got to eat. Got on the wait list, was told wait was an hour so we played some games. An hour and thirty minutes later still was not called to a table. Checked to see how much longer and was told they didn't know. We left with hingry kids. read more

Not a lot of games... kinda disappointed but the prices are cool. $100/750 credits buys a great time with the family for 2-4 hrs

Restaurant review Slow service if you are expecting a quick meal look for something else. Ate both lunch and dinner here as I was waiting for friends to help me enjoy some games during the holidays. During lunch time one server 1:15 minutes for food. During diner 1:45 minute wait. Mind you the restaurant was extremely slow with less then 50 people enjoying food. Server staff needs to be more present. Other reviews are correct enjoy the games skip the food unless you have 3 plus hours to waste stressing out. read more

Shout out to Heidi the Mighty bartender who kept the Mojitos and Dangerous Waters coming while we fought ghosts, dinosaurs, and threw axes. Thank you so much for making our first experience here a fun and good one. Also shout out to the sweet hostess with the glasses who greeted us; she was wonderful as well. Thanks y'all read more

Our first time visiting Dave and busters was great, food was good service was fast. This time was HORRIBLE! We waited well over an hour for our food, and ended up leaving.( it wasn't a busy time either, only a few other tables in the dining area) waitress was not very nice either. I would defiantly recommend just getting drinks & appetizers in the bar, they seemed to know what they were doing unlike the wait staff in the main dining area. read more

Service at the restaurant was horrible! They messed up the drink order, then after a very long wait they messed up the food order as well. Never eating there again. But the kids really enjoyed the games. read more

Kids enjoyed the arcade, but service at the dining area sucks. We got seated by the wall, waited 20 mins for no one to come by the table or even acknowledged. Looked around there weren't any servers passing by then I watched one server walked around clueless and lost as if she was trying to avoid eye contact. Tables still needed to get bussed. We ended up leaving. read more

There were probably 30 tables open with two servers and quite a few bussers/hosts. Our wait was 45 minutes for a tables, we waited over 20 minutes for drinks and for someone to take our order, and once we ordered, they said an additional 40-50 min. My food came out and then after 11 minutes, I asked where everyone else's food was and they immediately brought it out and since their food was not hot it shows it had been sitting for awhile. The service was really bad and we will only come back for games and drinks. The bartender was amazing and drinks were affordable! Don't eat the food - you can eat somewhere else and save your money for games! read more

The food was bad. Just bad. The overpriced drinks couldn't even make the food taste better. The atmosphere was like a run-down Chuck E. Cheese for adults. Dave and Buster's is a sad commentary on a town that can't secure a Chick-Fil-A. read more

The arcade is awesome my 4 year old had a blast! But the staff is not very friendly I been there for 3 occasions and they are always rude , no costumer service. The host just stare us down as soon as we got there didn't greet us just gave us a look and start it talking to her coworker , I walked up to the front desk to get her attention and didn't say a hello not very welcoming. I keep giving them a try but it just seems like every time it's gets worst, unfortunately This is the last time I'll be going back. read more

We came here for our sons graduation dinner. The manager, Lauren Crawford was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure we had the best experience. I highly recommend!!! read more

Second time here and won't be back. Had to get a manager to even get an order placed and then we were ignored the whole time. The bartenders only seemed to care about the other side. Wasn't even that busy when we got there around 4:00pm. read more

Been a couple of times food is meh, everytime ive been there it takes quite a while to get some service and drinks, food doesnt come out nearly 45+ minutes after ordering but the last time kind of did it for me. I tried entering through the mall and security stopped my gf and I after letting some minors in no problem and we are clearly way older than them but we get stopped for an I.D check and thats never happened before and we asked our friends inside if they were I.D checked and they weren't so we were just like wtf. My gf had left her bag in the car and when she mentioned it to me the security guard gave us an attitude and tried telling us to go home and they were checking for 18+ so that was pretty insulting. We went around from outside and didnt get i.d checked so it felt like it was just bullshit and when inside we were just getting stared down the whole time read more

If you ever come here expect a decent appetizer and terrible food and not good service if you ever come here come for the arcade not the food. last time I came here my steak was raw the Philly cheesesteak the bread was bad and it was bad cheese. The wings was okay they didn't have two flavors of it but not that bad. Wouldn't recommend coming here for the food. read more

April made my partner's drink perfectly. She also made my drink perfectly! But it's a beer so it's easy. But for my partner, she's hard to impress! So the fact that she made her a great drink and remembered our drink the couple times we came back to get it meant a lot. Thank you so much! read more

Love this place! I've been here multiple times. We honestly come here to eat rather than place. We love the caesar salad, wings, pizza, and the avocado club. Sometimes we play the games and its not too bad. We've gone on a Friday night and it was not packed at all. We've gone on the weekends and its not as busy as you think it is. Overall, its good spot to eat! read more

First time to this location. I was expecting the worst considering the other reviews. The reviews are wrong. Yes they were busy, yes we did have to wait for things, but it wasn't unreasonable. We just put our name on the list for a table. Went and played games. We were told the wait was 1.5 hours. We only waited about 45 minutes. Which flew by considering we were having fun playing. Our server was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and kind. She did the best she could, shout out to Sierra! All in all, yeah it's pricey, yeah its busy, but what do you expect when it comes to a chain arcade with a full bar? 5 stars from me, we will be back. read more

I can't imagine watching football at any place besides Dave and Bussin, ONG, fr, fr. Cheap beer, best screens in the county, good food, games. 5/5 stars- HeroNurse7155 read more

Went there on Saturday didn't have a great service took for ever to get our drinks we order out of the draft brought me bottle drinks didn't ask if that's what we wanted our food took for ever to get there and meat was cooked wrong way we order I will not go again for food maybe games but that's it I didn't have good experience for first time there read more

Service is terribly slow... I would have drank another beer or 2, at least. Been to many DnB's and this definitely the SLOWEST. Music very loud too, but I can deal with that. Food was fine, as expected. Gotta improve the service though. Messed up our check too...! read more

Came with friends to eat for the first time and ordered the Hawaiian chicken sandwich it came with a pineapple slaw on the side when I got it the slaw was hot and no pineapple. I asked for a new slaw with pineapple and not hot, when it came out it was cold but still no pineapple. Asked the waiter again I keep getting slaw with no pineapple that's what the menu says pineapple slaw he went to the kitchen and said that they told him that that's the slaw that it comes with. Well then don't advertise pineapple slaw with no pineapple. I was looking forward to the sweet cool pineapple with the spicy sandwich. I'm disappointed. read more

Good service and such a fun place. I had the pleasure of having Tina, one of the managers help me and she was exceptional!

What a great place! Went with a bunch of family and friends it was a blast but the staff made it even better, shout out to Tina West she was amazing!!!! Great place to go and have fun. read more

So we visited back in September 2022, but here is my late review: Worst experience ever! My wife and I went after work and tried to have a nice meal with drinks, but we had the exact opposite. To start, we ordered an appetizer & food-- My wife's food arrived the same time as the appetizer. Since my food had not arrived, my wife started to eat. 40 minutes go by and still no sign of my food, also nobody has tried to offer us any more alcoholic beverages (weird). Finally a server comes by to tell me that they are out of the ribs I ordered (how did that take an hour to figure out?!?!?). I ordered something else, nothing special was offered to us. By now my wife is done eating and I still wasn't offered another drink, so I walk to the bar to get one. 20 more minutes go by and I finally decide to cancel the order because my appetite is ruined & my wife is extremely upset over this entire situation. Not once did a manager care to get involved or even acknowledge me, since he was too busy acting like a boss and looking cool (HA!). I even walked up to where the manager was and started to speak with a host there in front of him and he didn't care to get involved. I had to request the other host to close out my tab since I still had not seen my "server" return. There is nothing cool about running a business that cannot deliver and ultimately upsets your customers. Shame on you D&B Modesto. I did call the corporate line to inform them of the horrible service & I refused the discounts and coupons they offered. I paid 100% of my tab and did not ask for any special treatment. Nothing will fix the night they ruined for my wife and I and nothing will ever get me to return or recommend this location to anyone while it is managed the way it is. Be warned people. This place is run by "kids" who don't care. ZERO STARS! You can't fix problems with coupons or discounts. Shame on you D&B! read more

Slow service, unorganized! Slow machines! Needs more costumer service employees! Long waiting time and people at bar cutting off Short staffed! read more

Went there Sunday 8/28/22 for a family visit/dinner. Sat in the bar area waiting for a table; hostess said 45 minute wait; it was over an hour. Ordered drinks and it took FOREVER to get them. SERVICE WAS HORRIBLE!!! NEVER GOING BACK!!! read more

They took 1 hour to bring two waters to our table of 8. Then 1 more hour to bring our parties drinks. They brought our entrees out half an hour later. The waitress had an attitude setting down food and drink and spilled some of it on the table. She never offered to bring another drink to make up for spilling 1/3 of it. When we would try to talk to the person originally taking our order they nodded off our concerns and did nothing. Their tables were not even at full capacity. Drinks were terrible. Even getting our check proved to take the server 35 more minutes. By then nobody was in the mood to even play the games and we all left. read more

The space is decent and the games are fun but, it's the customer service that gives this place the two stars it deserves. The bartenders are sloppy with making drinks , communication and to be honest, they are lost to the point where I wanted to hop over the bar counter and help them with their bad memory of bringing drinks to those who ordered 20 minutes ago on a Tuesday. I wouldn't even consider them bartenders. The overall staff needs better management. It seems that they are in search for a leader like In The book Lord Of The Flies because the staff also seem to be stuck on a island with no direction. read more

So our food was late ,however ,the manager Tina was completely excellent in customer service,she was so nice and fixed the situation.my family left happy.in a time where most costumer service is very bad ,Tina was amazing,more managers should be like her ,so thank you Tina . read more

Manager Q is gem. That is the only reason I put 3 stars. The service at the restaurant is the worst I've experienced in a long time. I was patient and understanding that we dined in on a busy Friday night, but what we experienced was absolutely unacceptable. The wait staff were so rude. We were immediately met with huff and puffs and eye rolls. If they don't want to be there, then find people who do want to work. People who can put on a fake smile and actually do their jobs. We never got our napkins and silverware, I had to grab one from a table that had one unused and left over. Our appetizers were brought out, with no plates and again no utensils. We found a hair in the kids' fries. When we brought it to their attention and also asked for more napkins, we literally got napkins with hair on it. What was that about. They messed up a kids cheeseburger three times, brought out our food at different times, and completely forgot to put in two orders. We saw other people come in, get in their orders, get their food, and leave before us. We had three adults, two teens, and 3 kids. There weren't any special orders or unique requests. We just had basic orders and bad service. We asked to speak to the manager about the service, and he was kind and understanding. We wanted to bring the experience we had to his attention and bring up proper etiquette at their staff meetings because this wasn't ok. Plenty of people want to work and will take pride in their work. Not even faking it to make it, don't they want tips. Maybe a wake-up call is in order for some staff. Having a family night at a family restaurant shouldn't be met with stank face from the getgo from employees. There was no communication, not a "well be right with you" when walking by our table. Or "Is there anything I can get for you?" but when we try to get their attention, they act like we're in the wrong. We weren't being Karen's, and we weren't looking for a free meal from the terrible service. We just needed to address this to the manager. Being in food service for 10 plus years, this kind of thing is just unacceptable. Thank you to manager Q, who listened and made things right. They did take off the kids' order, and the chicken strips off the bill because the order was never put in. He was kind and gave the kids cards to play with. I was hoping this was a fluke, that maybe we caught everyone on their worst day. I get it. That's why we were patient and didn't say anything right away, but after looking at the reviews... it seems that it is not a fluke. read more

It's so loud I don't think our server could hear our order. A lot of our order was wrong. Food was not very good either, definitely overpriced .A lot of the menu items seemed to be out of stock also which was disappointing.Video games are cool but also expensive. I would suggest eating somewhere else in or around the mall that aren't as expensive and probably better food overall, then go there for the video games. read more

GAB WAS THE BEST SERVER! came in after school one night and she literally made our night soooo much better! Thank you gab!

Games are fun, Wednesday are half priced games so that's the only time it's worth it. We finally stayed for food and had horrible experience, we sat where we were told and waited 20 minutes, and nothing. Asked the bartender if we were in the wrong spot and he assured us we were good and he'd send someone over. Low and behold there's 4, yes FOUR servers "cleaning" a table over from us that had no one seated in it and looked like it was clean already... So I called over nicely and asked again if we were in a dead spot?!? She looked confused and said hold on let me get someone... Another 10 minutes and NOTHING.... So we packed up, went to the bar and ordered to go with the kindest bartender ever, and tipped him well! There were at least 10 servers and 5 whole tables with patrons, none of which had someone come by in the time we waited, they just lingered and pretended to be busy. Meanwhile the bartender busted his butt with both sides almost full AND customers like myself who approached the bar to order!!!! Micah, thank you for your service!!!! read more

just was at Dave and busters. never again. service was terrible food was not that good. now at Buffalo Wild Wings. they got me a beer right after I sat down. not 20 minutes later. read more

Gave us free soda and we're also their anytime we needed a water they were also speeded and surprisingly empty for such a good restaurant! Though the room was a bit noisy what did you expect it's an arcade and in my opinion growing up here with their amazing wings and food it's 5 stars for me plus I thought their food might be piled with grease but the fries were actually crispy and not overly soggy like in fast food restaurants. read more

Dave and Busters is a great place for family fun, the kids and grandkids love it. The giant pretzel and wings were great. Drinks were perfect. Half off Wednesdays are awesome. I hope they expand and make this D&B even larger like the Milpitas location. read more

Ordered a Philly cheesesteaks with no mushrooms. I got a Philly cheese mushroom and no steak. My fries were cold. Ordered at the same time as my kid and she got her food out 15 mins before I got mine out. Gaming is ok. Other then that I would rather eat somewhere else and then go play . read more

Dave & Buster's Modesto - Philly cheesesteaks sandwich - Arcades Near Me - Modesto, California

Visited for the first time and the food was horrible. I ordered a well done burger that was pink inside, had to send that back. The Voodoo Pasta was horrible my daughter took one bite and had to send that back. The creole shrimp dip had too much bread crumbs on it even the server was shocked. I would add photos, but they took the plates. I think the only decent thing that came out right was the fish and chips and the salad. I will only be back to have my kids play games, but not to dine. read more
