Service was amazing the Cajun pasta and pretzel dogs were delicious.... Kitchen manager was making her rounds and made sure everything came out phenomenal. Not only do they have games they have amazing food and drinks will definitely be coming back read more

Horrible service this time our way older server was more worried about talking to the young servers instead of doing his tables seen he was told multiple times. But after waiting 35 minutes I had to go to the bar to order. read more

The whole atmosphere and vibe was dope. The food and drinks were solid and bartenders were very friendly.

Walked in at 11:30 on a Tuesday. One table with five people and one guy at the bar. Sign says wait to be seated so we stood around for several minutes until somebody came out of a side room and told us we could sit anywhere. We walked over by two servers and started to sit down at a booth, only to be told we had to sit at a table. We sat down and waited. I went to the restroom, my wife then went to the restroom and still no service. A server came out of the kitchen and looked at us twice. After ten minutes of nobody coming to help us, we left. The two servers we originally saw when we sat down had vanished. Pathetic service, especially since it was empty. Maybe we now know why it was empty. Edit: What a trashy, pathetic company this is. The manager responded to my first review and gave me a link to go to, to share my issues. So, you as a manager can't take what I say on here? I now have to go make my complaint elsewhere? But, since their customer service was so awful, I went to the link. It asked about selling my personal information and cookie options. I denied them all. Then, the very last screen has a confirmation button after you choose your cookie options. But, it's tricky and good thing I read it. After declining them all; they have their last option set to look like a confirmation to your cookie preferences, but it says "accept all." Why would you have this after people have already chosen to decline all? I'll tell you why, because you are a pathetic, desperate company. I was debating giving you another chance, but I will never go back Second edit: Went on the link and they only allow 500 characters. This company clearly does not care about improving read more

Man this place suuuuccckkss . Where do start?? Just to be seated in a booth on a slow day took forever and they sat 2 people before us after they told us to go sit and wait. The service! Horrible! Messed out order up and all we order was an appetizer and drinks. Forgot about us never came back we ended up canceling the other drinks we ordered n went somewhere els. No organization no service care this place down right sucks! And the food we did get the chicken nachos had no chicken n looked really sad read more

Came in on wed & we ate, our Mac and cheese was cold, like out fridge cold. My pasta was dry no sauce and it was super salty. But i highly recommend the wings and sliders. Ashley at the prize section was super wonderful and so helpful, I am pleased that she was able to help me understand my app and get that bang for my buck , thank you girl!!! read more

A group of our Explorers went there recently. Received fantastic service. Food was great, and they had a blast playing the games. Would definitely take them back again. read more

It was a great family night. the food was great and the games were spot on. Fun time for everyone.

We had a chance to visit this new location to celebrate a nine year olds birthday. It was a fun night and a fun gathering. The staff working that particular evening that we were here we're all fairly nice. The most exciting of the games or attractions that we liked the most was the virtual reality Seating attraction. They have quite a bit of game selections to choose from. The bar area stayed fairly packed but they did have a great amount of staff working the bar for the amount of business that attracted this evening. The drinks are fairly good we end of the evening with being able to watch a UFC fight on the screens. Definitely be sure that your budget fairly well before visiting lol! I'm sure we will be paying a visit to this location again soon. A good spot to catch a bite to eat or drink or to simply get the family out of the house for a few hours. They did well by choosing to have this location inside of the Modesto mall. read more

The food is good (8/10), but extremely over priced!! Wow!! truffle fries 1 salad 1 meal (salmon) 1 ice tea (1 free water). 2 pumpkin cheesecake slices (couldn't taste pumpkin) $85 (not including a tip). The games are fun (expensive of course, but that I expected). It was an experience... just one that won't be repeated! I don't know who can eat out with these prices (not me). read more

We have visited this restaurant multiple times because we loved it. My son and his friend tried to eat at 5:30 in the afternoon and they refused to serve them. They've eaten there and spent a lot of money in the past. They were seated and then as soon as the server came to the table, he said they couldn't order without a parent...at 5:30 in the afternoon. We'll never return read more

Dave and busters in the Central Valley? Yes it is true! I came in on a weekend for a party. The place was pretty spacious, had a big bar, lots of seating available, with tvs, and of course a lot of video games. We ordered Mac and cheese, and pizza for the kids and wings, and a chicken sandwich for the adults. I was impressed with the food for this being a more of a fast food type of restaurant for the most part and also the service was pretty quick so you can't beat that. I didn't notice for the restaurant area the seating was kind of separated from the playing area which is something you wanna make note of if you do decide to eat here. Most of the games were in working order and seemed a lot of fun. I did play with my children a couple of games and it brought back old memories from when I used to visit the Dave & Buster's located in Milpitas. Now this location is definitely smaller than the one located in Milpitas but something is better than nothing right. read more

I took my 6 kiddo limit last Wednesday as it was their last day of summer school, and it was half price games. We were seated immediately and told we "had a great server".... Too bad we didn't see him for about 25 minutes. He seemed to only have 2 or 3 other tables, and spent about 15 at the table next to us with drunk older men. I can only assume that he ignored us, because he knew my table wouldn't be boozing. He passed us at least 5 times and not a word. Not "be right with you", not, "I'm super busy but I haven't forgotten about you", nada. When he arrived, he asks did we want drinks. Umm, bud, it's been 25 minutes since we sat down, I think we would like food, and please hurry with it... In fact I actually asked for him to bring it as it was ready, and shocker, they didn't. Half was cold. Seriously though, Kraft fucking mac and cheese..... So $5.25 for a bowl of $1.39 mac and cheese. Whatever, kids. It was a treat so no biggie. I ordered a bunless, cheeseless burger with extra veggies, I of course received a bun with cheese and no extra veggies. They offered to refire but like it's been close to an hour so no, I will just scrape the friggin cheese off I guess. They didn't really apologize more than that and went away. I asked him about how we get game cards. He said he could get them and if I buy 4 or more there's a bit of a price break. Coolness. Well get this, when the bill comes, the suggested gratuity INCLUDES MY GAME CARDS? Nah fam, I am not fucking tipping 20% on my game cards that I could have purchased out of the machine, if he had pointed me in that direction. WTF is that shit? We ordered literally $80 in food and then I got $240 in game cards. And I should tip over 60 for this? That's ridiculous. Dude then asks if I'm paying cash or card, and I laid a mom joke "What is this cash you speak of", to which he replied that someone paid a $4k tab in cash the other day. That sort of rubbed me the fucking wrong ass way, because again the insinuation that his alcoholic customers are somehow more important was implied here. Then he hovers over me as I'm supposed to figure out a tip on this little machine and oops, sorry bud, but I hit go without tipping you. But that's okay because you did the bare ass minimum for my table, and surely that 4k customer tipped you generously, right? Oh we also weren't told that we could take our drinks in the gaming area, and basically wasted 2 $4 lemonades. So I would go on Wednesday for the games, but helll to the nizzo would we eat there again. It's worse than McDonalds to be honest. read more

Came here with my girl friends to celebrate a birthday. No one really approached our table, so we figured we'd walk to the bar to grab drinks first. Had the strawberry watermelon marg and it was so yummy, had me turnt off one drink lol. Our server Kate was so sweet. She was the best server ever, and took care of us. Our online ordering (through the website) didn't really work. We were able to order the food but had to wait a long time until Kate told us that the online ordering never really worked. She took great care of us, and because we ordered online (separate tabs), we couldn't pay on the website either. So Kate figured each tab out manually on her device for us. She deserves everything and more!! We'd come back just to get her service again! Also food was bomb. Ordered the garlic truffle fries and that big pretzel appetizer - flavor was amazing! read more

It's really good and the customor service was good. I was able to get something for me, my 14 year old brother and my mom. my mom got a toy for my sister The place should get a 5-star review for the place to be cool. read more

Here's the real watered down version because I kept hitting the text limit. 1. Not expecting perfection - new place. We get it. 2. Terribly long wait for table and food. 3. 1 star is for the gracious waitress, the pretty okay food, and the one security guard at the bottom floor who wasn't acting like a douche. 4. All would've been forgiven because it's a new place and the workforce market is suspect, except: Security harassed us and followed us out for absolutely no viable reason. 5. IF YOU VALUE FEELING SAFE in a fun environment, you may need to worry about the security staff more than drunk patrons. 12:58 security guard one approaches. We learn they close at 1, not 2 like posted on all online platforms. We say okay and express intent to leave. Our friend is in the middle of her ddr game that she's paid for. 2nd guard starts to approach and tell her to leave her game. I tell her we'll leave when the game my friend paid for is over. Literally like 2 mins from this point. She cops a severe attitude, arguing that they've been warning us over the intercom - which you can't hear because of music- and that we need to leave.I had to remove myself from speaking to her after she stopped making logical sense because my reciprocal attitude was starting to come through. We were non-violent, not intoxicated, and generally very low key customers who explained we'd leave very soon. It didn't seem reasonable to allow someone to pay for a service and not allow them an extra minute to complete that service ‍ 1:00 hits, friend is in the midst of her last song, and they send their biggest security guard to stand over and intimidate my friend off of her game. Literally, at the edge of the pad repeating how they're closed over and over again. She has social anxiety and came away feeling extremely uncomfortable, and he almost made her trip while she was finishing her game with his close proximity. I honestly don't know what they expected when they did that. They're lucky they didn't touch her, but damn it if it wasn't too close for comfort. We were not doing anything but waiting patiently for a game to come to an end. We weren't into being bullied into submission and treated like garbage for *gasp* finishing a game that she paid for at a gaming place while other customers were still walking around freely! 1:03 walking down the stairs to exit after being made to feel like criminals. Security guards hot on our tails, if I'd bent down to tie shoe suddenly, they would've tripped over me. Very hostile. Unfriendly. Stressful. Intimidating. We won't be going back. We won't be sending family and friends. We will be calling corporate or the franchisee. The GM has their work cut out for them. Goodluck! I don't usually yelp too much bad stuff, I try to focus on the good because I've managed establishments, but the extended version of this story is egregious. How sad to be so excited about a place, and so let down in the same night. read more

Arcade and atmosphere is fun, expect to pay an arm and a leg if you bring your kids but the experience is worth it. The food, well that's another story. So we ordered the Philly dip. The kids all ordered their own plates. Kids food came out and they all finished eating and our food came out almost 30 minutes later. At this time the kids were going crazy as they wanted to play cause they finished with their meals and we hadn't even got ours. What really was annoying was the server brought us out check and said "no rush, when ever you are ready". I laughed and asked him if we could eat first- that we hadn't got our food- he apologized and went back to check on it and said it still wasn't ready. Ended up only having a couple bites when it finally came ( Cold somehow btw) because the kids were restless at this point. Never brought us refills or really checked on us. It was very disappointing- the other thing was the Philly dips we ordered the au jus dip was clear and oily- I've never seen anything like it- tasted just like hot water - I told the server and he said that it always looks like that- I showed him the picture on the website of what it looks like and said he could return it if we wanted but offered no discounts or anything in lieu of the wait and not getting our entire order. All in all it was disappointing and will most likely not be back. This was second attempt here as the first time I came here they didn't have their food labeled during their grand opening event and caused me to have an allergic reaction to shellfish - even though their server said there was none. Hoping that they can get better staff and better management here and turn it around into a hood Dave and busters like all the other ones I keep hearing good things about. Unfortunately the modesto location lacks service, quality, and cooks.... read more

Avoid this place. Terrible service, terrible food and the music is so loud that the servers are losing their voice trying to yell over it. While playing the games after having it wait for them to fix the card kiosk we found an IPhone. Went to the staffs watching the gaming floor to turn it in and he was so rude and even said " what do you want me to do with it". Our food was not cooked properly. My sons meal came 25 minutes before the other meals. My Long Island iced tea had no alcohol, just sweet and sour with some soda. We wanted to complain but our server never came back. After 30 minutes of waiting for him we finally paid by app and left. Very disappointing as we enjoy the Dave and Buster restaurants in San Jose and Vallejo. read more

The service for games is not bad. However the service to order food is horrible. I ordered a lemon drop and was asked what kind of tequila? It's with vodka so I said Tito's vodka. Then I get a shot of Tito's vodka not a lemon drop. So I told the waitress, who was a different one from the one that took our drink order, that if they couldn't make the lemon drop it was fine id just get the blood orange Paloma. Well I waited 10+ minutes and still have not received my drink. Just be prepared to wait a long while for someone to take your food order. Cee was our second server and she was awesome! Her customer service was outstanding for her customer service Id rate it five stars. She was so helpful and was super nice to my family! Did not complain and was so patient. read more

We came here last night and we had SO much FUN!! The service was ahmazingggg the food was even better!

Fun and delicious! It wasn't as expensive as I expected, but you still don't want to go there on a tight budget. My granddaughter and I spent about $130 and had plenty to eat, drink and played lots of games. One feature that I really liked was that there were random little tables to set my stuff upon! The staff was quite responsive to any issues with the games. The games were all in good order and working. The games are not for little kids! Definitely for the middle school and up crowd. The prize selection was also geared to the not youngsters. The food was good, with large portions. The server was good and friendly. The overall service was choppy, receiving our orders in bits and pieces instead of all at once. read more

My husband and I stumbled upon this Dave and Buster's today at the Modesto Mall. We had a great time playing the different games. I will say there were a couple that were out of order, but most worked just fine. We decided to grab lunch there as well. We sat down at a table near the bar. We watched a waitress walk past us about 4 times and didn't even look at us. We were contemplating leaving when a very friendly bartender named Andrea asked if we had been helped. She served us and was amazing. She was very busy at the bar, so I appreciated her jumping in to help us. She was so sweet! We both ordered burgers and they were great! Overall, we had a great time. Our experience at the restaurant portion was going south, but Andrea saved the day!:p read more

Came here the other weekend to check out the food and games! Got seated promptly, food came out fairly quickly, server was very friendly and attentive. Only thing that took some time was our drinks. Food was great, and the giant pretzel is the fluffiest and largest pretzel I have had! Got the pretzel, nachos, chicken tenders. Nachos and pretzel sauce were very spicy, so just a heads up if you're not into that. Lots of games, a few that were not yet working. On another note, I accidentally left my phone at one of the game tables and fortunately was able to get it back from one of the workers! Overall great place, open late, great food! read more

Service for food was extremely slow and not friendly. Food was edible at best. Fries came our cold and pretzel cheese sauce was gross. Server barely checked on us and took 30 mins to get beer which came half through our meal. We also had to wait on our check because the server never check on us after we got our food. There was plenty of staff walking or standing around but apparently didn't want to work. We won't be coming back again. This was a waste of money. read more

came in for some Sunday funday with my family today, July 14, 2024. We enjoyed ourselves, ate, and played games. As I was leaving, my family and I stopped by the prize department to pick up a game card. Ms. Ashley assisted us and told us about the benefits of the app, which not only helped me download it but also my wife and children. Her customer support was outstanding. I appreciate how nicely Ms. Ashley represented her position. read more

This is the 2nd time we've been here. My sister and I ordered the Philly cheesesteak French dip. The first time, there was a lot of meat, cheese, mushrooms and arugula. This time, it was very skimpy except for the cheese. I had 3 wilted pieces of arugula, hardly any mushrooms, the meat was hardly there and very dry. They asked if we wanted something else, but my sister wanted more meat on a plate. They said they don't do that. Then, the manager came out and apologized and offered us free dessert. The server was very nice. Atmosphere was good and they accommodated my sister, who is handicapped, with normal chairs and table. We will most likely come back on the weekend instead of a Monday. read more

Went in at 10:30 pm last night 10/15. There was us and one other table in the entire place and several people at the bar. No idea what the servers name was she never said and we only saw her once or twice during our entire visit. Asked several times for a Dr. PepperShe acted bored and mad we were there.. Bartender got our food and we actually picked up our own drinks sitting at the bar. No napkins or silverware so again got it from the bar. Server wanted to leave so asked us to cash out...we had been waiting a half hour for it anyway. All 4 of us are servers having a drink and an appetizer after work. She took my $20 and didnt bother bringing me my change...rude. (Only $1 but still) No way would I leave a dime! WORST service ever! First and last visit. I will never go there again! read more

We went on a Thursday around 8pm and it was fairly empty, the service for drinks and appetizers was quick and the staff was friendly. It was clean, and the games were fun.

He was so on top of fixing the problem that it was ok. Thank you Stephen I will be doing whatever I can to make sure you get credit for you above and beyond manager skills!
