    The cajun chicken pasta was very average. The chicken was lukewarm and did not come with bread. Stick to the burgers here.

    I stopped by with the kiddos, my mom, aunt and cousin. We were able to sit down pretty quickly and our server was attentive. I got a mango lemonade and my mom got a Mexican Candy shot. The lemonade was pretty good! My mom liked her shot as well. We came here mainly for the kids to play so we were not too hungry. We did however get the triple play and mac n cheese and honestly it was good!! I was pretty impressed! We got wings, little burgers, and pretzel dogs. To top it all off we got the brownie cookie dessert with ice-cream and wow this was so freaking GOOD!! Definitely will get this again lol. These all were delicious! Our server was nice as well. The ambiance is always a vibe in here. The kiddos had a blast! They wanted to do the human claw machine but it was closed sadly, that was the only bummer but they had fun doing other games and such! The prize area I will say is pretty steep when it comes to getting prizes with your tickets, lots of the somewhat cool stuff is asking for so many tickets!! We can go to 5 and below and get everything that is here for waaaaay less. But hey, the kids like to play the games!

    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!

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

    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)!

Recently, I was…read moreturned down a table for 7 at the Backyard in Desert Ridge because I did not have a reservation for a night when USA soccer game night. Unbelievable the Backyard refuse to make space for a big walkin customers. Anyway, thank God for Draft Kings. Even though most tables are reserved, they took us to the lounge area and we had a fabulous great time. They were super nice, professional and accomodating. I have gone to Draft Kings many times since it opened and they are awesome. They are wise to NOT turn down business. Draft Kings is a great sports bar. I've gone there many times at all kind of hours without a problem getting seated anywhere inside outside. They will find you a seat to watch games. Draft Kings is the best. Great staff, too. Thank you Draft Kings.

    Absolutely dreadful experience from start to finish…read more We came specifically to watch the England vs Panama World Cup match, yet somehow not a single member of staff seemed to understand that football supporters actually want to hear the commentary. We politely asked if the sound could be turned on, only to be met with blank stares and a shrug. The hostess simply replied, "I don't know about that," without making the slightest effort to find out. For a venue that markets itself as a sports bar, that is utterly embarrassing. The welcome was just as poor. There was no hostess at the entrance, so we asked the hostess in the betting area, who rather dismissively told us, "I can't help you. The hostess will deal with you." Charming. When the hostess eventually appeared, there wasn't even a "hello" or "welcome." She simply walked off expecting us to follow her. Once seated, things somehow became even worse. Despite there being plenty of staff standing around, it took an age before anyone acknowledged our table. After taking our initial drinks order, our waitress vanished for extended periods. We repeatedly wanted to order food and additional drinks but simply couldn't find her. We even asked staff behind the bar and other employees if someone could help us, only to be met with complete indifference. Nobody appeared remotely interested in providing service. The televisions themselves were another disappointment, with several screens glitching and making the match difficult to watch. Again, nobody seemed particularly bothered. As for the food... painfully average. Bland, uninspired and completely forgettable. Certainly nowhere near good enough to justify returning. There are countless places in Scottsdale serving far better food with staff who actually care. The entire operation felt disorganised, poorly managed and completely lacking any sense of hospitality. With service this bad, mediocre food and staff who seem uninterested in customers, it's difficult to see how this place survives in the long term. A sports bar that doesn't understand sport, service or hospitality. One star is generous. We won't be returning, and management should be thoroughly ashamed of the experience they're providing. Don't come here. There are WAY better options in Scottsdale.

We shared the Bang Bang Shrimp, a favorite of ours. The flavor was great as always, although this batch seemed to have a little more batter than usual. Not a big issue, just something we noticed. We ordered the lobster sliders to split and they were great. The order comes with three sliders, and each one was generously filled with chunks of lobster. I also loved the addition of diced tomato and avocado, which added texture. The sliders were a good size. We added a side of truffle fries, which unfortunately fell flat. They looked like regular fries and, while they did have some truffle flavor, they were missing the Parmesan cheese and seasoning that typically make truffle fries stand out. They were okay, but a bit disappointing. We had a nice lunch. The only downside was the price. For one appetizer, one lunch entrée, fries, and one cocktail the total came to over $75, which felt a little steep for lunch. That aside we loved the sliders and would order them again and we always order the Bang Bang Shrimp when we're there.
