    We absolutely LOVE Dave and busters in desert ridge! We are weekly regulars for the last three years and can't get enough of this place! Lexi is our FAVORITE server she is sooooooo nice and has the best memory ever she always remembers our food and drink orders and is just the best server you could ever ask for! We love her! We always get the wings dry with dry lemon pepper rub and a side of all our favorite sauces! We really enjoy the smashed burger, sliders, and we always get the kids chicken tenders! We love our weekly Dave & Buster's, especially on Wednesday nights playing games are half-price!

    My six year old and I came today for a bday party and had a fantastic time - such a great place to have a kids bday party. There was a room reserved where we could escape from the loudness of all of the action, and it was set up super cute for the party w tables, chairs and what turned into a dance floor! The food was pretty good for what it was - bar food (nuggets, pizza, fries, pretzels, etc). The service was great too, attentive staff! But mostly the arcade was top notch with a really great prize store. Definitely recommend - fun for adults too!

    So this review is for D&B Sports and Seahawks game day. What a fun atmosphere for Seahawks game day. They have a DJ, giveaways, and it's packed with Seahawks fans. Drink options are many ranging from beers, seltzers, and cocktails (many custom options). The food is really good as well. Had lemon pepper dry rub wings which were amazing and then later had the brekka smash burger. It's got bacon, a fried egg, and grilled onions on it. Sooo good. The fries cooked to well done is the move as well. Love that this is a Seahawks bar and look forward to going back soon.

    The food was disgusting. The pretzels were soggy and the cheese had FILM on it. And I'm pretty sure that they don't wipe off their tables or clean their menus. The menu pages were STUCK TOGETHER. The bathrooms smelled like doodoo. And the only good thing about it was the arcade games. But the arcade games were sticky and broken! It was also very crowded. One star.

    Sorry about that. I meant to put 4 stars. Family fun, everytime! The prices are average for this type of establishment. The food is good and we have never had a bad plate. Drinks are offered and priced normally. Lots of games! They add regularly to keep with current trends. It is located in a nice, open-air shopping complex which give the going experience the feeling of a more luxurious, metro outing. Suggest it all the way!

    Several visits here and they continue to drop the ball with service. Wait staff seem to be sad and unhappy and you can never find anyone when you need help with games. The food is truly disgusting! Apparently they changed their menu and we were told the kitchen is undergoing some changes, so nothing we wanted to order was available. We settled on the chicken nachos. Worst decision, they were bland and sad with some discolored chicken squares. Ordered the kids pizza for my son and he ended up getting sick and throwing up!

    $7.49 hands down WORST side I've ever had...  Hard and soaked in oil. Basically plain Mayo. STAY AWAY

    First I want to say, the service we got from Jackson was great. The service all staff members gave us was good to very good. This 2 star rating is based purely on the food. Brussels sprouts 1 out of 10. Barely cooked, soaked in oil, cheese caused them to stick together. Mayo was not appealing to dip into. Firm and chunky, basically straight out of a Mayo jar. Steak bowl 2 out of 10. Cauliflower was barely cooked, couldn't hardly cut through it with a butter knife, onions and peppers barely cooked and SOAKED in oil. Steak was over cooked, and the portion was tiny. Portion of rice served with this meal was pathetic. Barbacoa quesadilla - 1 out of 10, tortilla was small, 8 inches, barely bigger than a taco. This was a $12.99 quesadilla app. Hardly any meat, mostly cheese, very very oily and soggy. 0 crisp in the bite it was so soaked in oil and grease. Chicken wings and fries. Wings were average 5 out of 10. Fries were cold and soggy and SOAKED in truffle oil. Had to ask for new ones. New ones were ok because hot, but still way overly soaked in oil. Kids burger - 1 out of 10, couldn't add lettuce, patty was extremely thin, bun was 7-8 times the size of the patty. Side asparagus - 5 out of 10 good pieces of Asperagus but SOAKED in oil. Would not recommend eating here EVER.

    I had the pleasure of getting to attend a Girl Scout event at Dave & Busters last weekend and it was crowded but fun. The girls got to play a lot of different and fun games and the prizes for the ticket games were actually decent. The games I got played were fun too. The food was meh at best probably because it was a buffet and not table service. The best part of the food served was the french fries. The event room was neat albeit crowded but that is to be expected with as many girls and adults as there was. I wouldn't mind going back on our own for some family fun.

    Always yummy fresh bites, bomb drinks and fun games for everyone! I also am bias to this location I love Desert Ridge Marketplace especially when it lights up at night. The new fall menu features all the pumpkin delights you can imagine. The bar is so friendly I love the bartender Zoe(y)!

    Dry chips, dry cheese etc it's a disgrace to call this nachos.
    Maria M.

    The worse chicken nachos I've ever had in my whole life. It's a disgrace to even call it nachos. It's a few DRY chips no sauce dry cheese. Ridiculous.

    Food was just ok. The tenders and wings were soggy. I expected them to be nice and crispy. The service is slow. The food took about 40 mins to arrive. Then waited about 10 mins for someone to show up at front counter to purchase a gaming card. The manager on the floor was not very friendly. Restaurant is pricy. Ordered a salmon for $20 thinking it would be a nice size serving, when it came out, it was about 3oz. So tiny was barely able to taste it.

    Chicken potstickers were also soooooo good!

    I came here on a Saturday night, and the bartender Daniel at the bowling alley was fantastic. Honestly made my friend and I's night. Great conversation and service. Really quick and even had made us some surprise drinks. It was some type of berry margarita. I recommend if you are coming here to grab food and drinks. Ask if Daniel is working. Makes the experience so much better. And Lastly THANK YOU DANIEL!

    5 dollar "chicken" nachos

    I waited 30 minutes for my chicken nachos that had no chicken lol. They refund the nachos since I went back. My burger was fine just cold. I never had an experience like this ever super disappointing.

Jessica, my waitress was really awesome and very friendly and helped me pick out some really great things on the menu. I had the Reuben sandwich with sweet potato fries. The German pretzel bites with beer, cheese and the churros with ice cream and a few beers and I have to say the prices are excellent and the food is incredibly good and I don't say that lightning most dive bars are just good for the ambience and a few cheap drinks. This place is great all around. Also, their patio area is dog friendly, so I was able to bring my little furry friend with me and he hung out and laid down near the table. Another bonus.

You can tell right away this is the kind of place regulars come back to often. Food I didn't try much food, but I did have the cheese crisp and it was solid. Light, flaky, and more like an open-faced tostada than a quesadilla. It came topped with green chili and chicken, and everything worked well together. Based on that, I'd expect the rest of the menu to be consistent, even if it's not trying to reinvent the wheel. Service Service was efficient, especially considering how busy it was. No complaints here... you can tell the staff knows how to handle a full house and keep things moving. Ambience This is where the place stands out. The vibe feels like a food network designed a biker bar, but in a fun, not over-the-top way. It's also apparently a Kansas City Chiefs bar, which adds to the identity. There was a live band playing early 2000s rock hits, which kept the energy up. Crowd was friendly overall, very much a neighborhood crowd. Overall This isn't a destination bar, but it's a really solid go-to if you live nearby. Think of it as an elevated dive/sports bar with a strong local following. Good drinks, good energy, and a place that does what it's supposed to do well.

    I'm giving a 5 star review because I've always had a great time at Foley Ranch! Food, service and…read moremusic are always great. That's the good. The bad is in my opinion, how poorly this incident with sleeveless Steve was handled. I've been dancing over 35 years, I currently have a very large dance group in the Phoenix Metropolitan area called Honky Tonk Dancerz. I bring a lot of people to Foley Ranch to enjoy the food, the great Service and the ambience of the country western music and great dance floor to dance on. Over the past several months I've gotten a chance to get to know Steve and I find him very pleasant, very kind to the lady he dances with and respectful. He is a product of the new style of country swing, that you have your instructors teach this style on Thursday nights. In my opinion, there is a lack of instruction on Dancefloor etiquette and feeling the music, by that I mean, actually dancing to the music, not alongside of it. Steve dances as he was instructed by the instructors that you bring on the dance floor and teach new dancers how to dance. Steve dances exactly like all the other new dancers dance. If you have a problem with Steve and the way he dances, then you have a problem with all the other people that have been instructed by the instructors that you bring to Foley Ranch. And in regard to the comment that was made by Dan B, where Steve grab the arm of a lady and drug her to the dance floor, that's BS and that is never happened. Like other people have said in comment and in Steve's defense women can say no and that's their prerogative. If they don't like the way he's dancing with them on the dance floor then they need to open their mouth and tell him to take it easy I don't like the way you're dancing or I'm not gonna dance with you again. It's very obvious that Dan B and his group are not part of the dance community like Steve and many others that have commented in Steve's defense. Last weekend, I spoke with Garcia the floor manager and introduced myself and the concerns that I had when I heard about Steve being 86. I asked a lot of other dancers in the dance community, what their thoughts were on this. Some have already commented on here. And I feel it's my obligation to the dance community to do so also. I would be more than happy to sit down and speak with management and give my further thought as to how the situation can be resolved. Thank you, Bobby Honky Tonk Dancerz

Hubs got the cherry old fashion which he didn't care for but the normal old fashion he enjoyed, and I got the foley ranch tea which is my go to here! We shared the corn bread hush puppies and those were just amazing! They were not oily and were the perfect taste of cornbread and the honey drizzle was nice but not too sweet. We each got some bbq meats he got brisket and the ribs with Mac. Sadly the Mac was on the verge of being cold but still tasted good. His ribs were so damn good! The bark and smoked flavor were truly impressive. I go brisket and when I asked for lean cuts I was informed there would be no guarantee but I was happy to see lean cuts when it came out! We loved our brisket as well and really appreciated the flavors. I love the homemade chips with mine and while they're just chips they were enjoyable. The bonus to the evening was the dueling guitars which I loved! Plus the swing dance lesson to join in on and the line dance lesson. A simple dinner turned into a fun evening which I appreciate. Definitely need to come enjoy the food more often
