    We finally decided to check out the Dave and Buster's Reno last night as a family. We had a 5:30 hreservation and were seated with Bianca. I was anticipating this location was bigger from it's outter appearance. Service as a whole started off very slow to start with just waters. I found it strange and unsanitary that there were share plates just left on each table. Bianca greeted us and took the time to explain the eat and play combo deals. We took advantage of a few of them to use the credits after dining. We ordered a spinach dip for the table to start. I ordered fish and chips, kids ordered a chicken quesadilla, chili lime wings dinner, a kids cheese pizza and my old man ordered the steak. They have an extensive menu and we were impressed with the quality and taste of our food. We played for a few hours and still have plenty of credits to spare for our next visit. We enjoyed our food and drinks. Kudos to your kitchen! We had a great family night and thank you Bianca. We can't wait to come back to use the remainder of our credits and spend our tickets.

    My first impression of Dave and Buster's Reno was simple. Fun. I came with my mom and my son, and all three of us had a great time. The atmosphere was lively, the food and drinks were solid, and it was a place everyone could enjoy. It is a bit on the pricier side, but the experience made it worth it. Our waiter Robert really made the visit memorable. He was funny, easy going, and great to talk to. The conversation flowed naturally, and he made us feel relaxed and welcomed the whole time. You can tell he is truly a people person. Shout out to Robert for the great service. We will definitely be back.

    Wednesday birthday vibes done right. Drinks, food, and games--such a fun way to start the day on a high note. Perfect mix of playful and celebratory. Came in around 11:30am and basically had the place to ourselves--big win. We kicked things off at the bar with $3 Jell-O shots, served in syringe-style shooters (genius, by the way). Fun, easy, and on-theme. They've got plenty of beers on tap too. Tried the green tea shot--hard pass. Way too sweet, didn't look anything like the menu photo, and the portion was small for the price. Wouldn't recommend. We did the Eat & Play deal and it was worth it. Solid entrée selections. The double burger was the clear winner. The Goldfinger chicken strips? Not so much. The pieces were tiny and snack-sized, and the coleslaw was bland and honestly not good. Both came with fries. Pro tip: If you plan to play then eat, order at the kiosk first so you get your play card. You'll receive a receipt you can give to the bartender/server to order food after playing. If you order directly, your food goes straight to the kitchen. Service was friendly, and the place was immaculate--super clean and spotless. Plenty of seating and TV's to watch. Ample parking. Located at Summit Mall. All the D&B vibes you remember growing up. The game selection was fun, with some options you don't usually see at other spots in town. The mirrors make the space feel larger than it actually is. They also have good options for groups and parties. This place is loaded with deals: * Wednesdays: Half off play * Sunday, Monday, Thursday: 10 wings for $10 + $5 drinks * Happy Hour: M-F 4-7pm | Sun-Thurs 10pm-close Definitely check their website for daily deals. Overall: good times, fun vibes, solid value--especially on deal days.

    We headed to Dave & Busters for lunch at their new Summit location. The building is very unassuming judging from the outside but once you step foot inside; it's a total sensory overload: jumbo-screen t.v.s are turned up full blast and all the sounds from the arcade on the other side of the room drowning any conversation you'll ever hope to have with your table-mates or your server. The day we dined (last Sunday), the server informed us they were sold out of salmon and the steaks; interesting because we made a reservation for 1:15pm and they were already sold out. We started off with a round of drinks: soda, iced teas and a mangorita mocktail plus a complimentary glass of water our server graciously brought over. For starters we ordered the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls and the pretzel dog. For our entrees we ordered the Philly Cheesesteaks, Bone-in Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Wings, Crispy Chicken Sandwich and a Double Cheeseburger (because they were out of the Bacon Cheeseburger). The drinks and appetizers arrived in a timely manner; I liked Philly Cheesesteak egg rolls and everyone seemed to enjoy the pretzel dogs (the dogs just kept slipping out of the pretzel wraps though). Our entrees were delivered to our table a few minutes after we finished with the appetizers and they were just alright: the cheeseburger fell apart at first bite which forced my sister to eat it with a knife and fork, the Philly Cheesesteak sandwich was equally as messy and splatter my brother's shirt with grease-stains (which probably permanently ruined his shirt), my niece's "Crispy" Chicken sandwich wasn't crispy; she said it was soggy and tasted of sadness. Lastly, my bone-in Garlic-Parmesan Chicken Wings were good but I've had better. The best part of our meal was the dessert; we ordered the funnel cake "fries" and it was a tasty treat but not overly sweet or decadent. The service was good but ambiance made it difficult to communicate. The arcade side was a fun first visit but many of the games warranted repeat play except maybe the "Stranger Things" game-- that was a challenge and a blast to play. Overall, we had an interesting first impression of Dave & Buster's but overall, it was too loud and not being able to carry a decent conversation with anyone was a turn off plus the food was mediocre. This won't be my first, second or even third choice to go for lunch or dinner.

    A fun outing with my grandson. Good menu options. I had the Philly Steak and cheese sandwich and fries and ur was very good. Went on a Monday afternoon which was prefect not crowded and kept us busy for a couple of hours. Great place to watch a sports while the kiddo run around having fun. Lots of great interactive games that kids and adults enjoy.

    The arcade is decent but smallish and more expensive compared to others available in Reno. The ticket exchange rate for prizes didn't seem great, but the app works well and I like the personalization. There is a good variety of games that are new and we'll maintained for now. The bar seems like a good place to get a drink and watch a game but I haven't tried the food yet. The location is perfect to spend some time before seeing a movie next door.

    Emily A.

    You guys have to ensure you are serving a gluten free item to gluten free people. Completely unacceptable. When my burger was brought out I actually said, is this gluten free? Considering I'd been here a week ago and got the same thing... and this bun was the same as my husbands burger which was not gluten free. The guy said yes it is gluten free you can tell by the lavender stick in it.... I'm lucky that my burger was actually wrong and came with sauce on it that I had asked to be removed, so I sent it back. My new burger came out with the correct bun, and a lavender stick in that bun as well.... Luckily I'm not celiac but I do get sick from gluten. I never want to give one stars, I especially don't want to give one star to a business I'm trying to make a regular place to go.... I'll update next Thursday on how it went... still gonna try for a 5 star experience because I think it could happen. I reallllly like the smash burger!!! Please don't try to make me sick :( Double check your burger buns people... I have attached photos on what is what!! It is very obvious which is which by sight.

    Came in on Labor Day and the place was kinda busy. We did not try the food, we just came to check out the games. The place has a lot of games, nothing that typically sticks out. All the games we tried were working properly, no issues. Place was also clean. We did walk by the restaurant and it was pretty busy. We will try the food next time.

    8/9/25 FYI. Cool.

    Quality/Quantity - Congrats on your new location. And welcome to Reno, NV. Plenty of arcade games. I like the different spaces. Private, semi private, and open spaces. Huge selection of prizes for the arcade games. See pictures. I look forward to bringing my nephews and nieces here. Atmosphere - Decent size location, but we expected it to actually be larger. And from the outside, it looks HUGE, but the inside does not look as big. Plenty of mall parking. Open 7 days a week. 10am or 11am to midnight or 1am. See my picture or their website. Yelp's hours differ slightly from their website... Service - Excellent. Greeted us when we walked in. They also gave us a short tour of the private rooms, and shared some other information about this location. Price - See pictures or website. Many promotions, happy hours, etc. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1982 and at this location since July of 2025! Lastly, congrats with your 156+ global franchise locations.

    We wanted to do something with the kids to celebrate the end of summer, so a trip to Dave and Busters was ultimately decided on. We checked in with the host and were told it would be about a 30 minute wait. We hung around and received a text when our table was ready. Food menu is pretty extensive, but I thought it was strange that there didn't seem to be prices listed on the adult beverages. Anyways, we decided to do the eat and play combos. We opted for the $39 eat and play combo, which seemed like a really good value. Food- I would give the food a 3 star rating, but ultimately, I wasn't expecting much for a less than $5.00 entree, and all things considered, I think was a pretty good value. Games- I think the game play is where the combo really is a great value for the price. We got to play a ton of games for over an hour, which compared to some of the casino game rooms was a really great value, especially if you're comparing it to fast food prices. Anyways, I think if you go into it knowing that the food is not going to be the reason why you choose to dine here, you will be able to manage your expectations accordingly and can still have a decent meal and some great entertainment!

    Went there for lunch. Did a quick walk around. Not a huge amount of games but the games they did have looked cool. This is a food and service review. I has the chicken Ceaser added steak to it. Was super good fresh and cooked correctly. Server was nice and food was served quickly. There are a lot of tvs for the games. We were the only guests in at the time for lunch. Am looking forward to going with a group and having some fun. Food was in the pricey side for what you get but every where is pricey.

    Look at the size of this screen! Pac-Man at Dave and Busters.
    Elizabeth S.

    I came to visit the much anticipated Dave and Busters and although I'm not much into the games, I did want to check it out for when family comes to visit. I walked around and both kids and adults seemed to be having a good time and noticed that many of the games have huge screens. I did see two Security Personnel and there were various employees or as they are called, "Game Crew", wiping down machines and providing assistance to customers. All in all, the gaming area is very nice, although smaller than I envisioned. The Bar was another story. I found the Bartenders inexperienced and disconnected. We hadn't had dinner, so we figured we'd give it a try. I was expecting grill food, but there were actually some dinner entrées on the menu, so I ordered the Chicken Parm and my husband had the Cajun Shrimp Pasta. Both were underwhelming. In fact, I didn't like my Chicken Parm at all. There was no sauce on the pasta, just shredded Parmesan and the Chicken was served with sauce and cheese, but it just wasn't that great. To top it off, my husband ordered Wine and almost fell out of his seat when he saw it being pored from a can. Our fault for ordering wrong, but probably not motivated to come back any time soon. To be fair, the 2 stars are only for our Bar experience.

    Great service, open late, fun games and some very cool prizes. We always have fun here. I love the Batmobile RC car.

    My wife and I had heard about this restaurant from friends and we decided to try it on a Saturday…read morefor lunch. We were greeted by Nick and we had a choice of a table or a booth. We took a booth and were immediately approached by our server Lud. The menu is extensive and there is a special menu for breakfast. There were a lot of salad choices but we elected to get their Club sandwich and a Smashburger. We received our food choices from Lud pretty promptly and we both enjoyed our choices a great deal. My Smashburger was two 1/2-pound patties, so it was substantial and it was cooked perfectly for me. I enjoyed the South 40 fries that were coated with a batter of some sort and crisp. Lud came back regularly to see how our meals were. There were TVs on the walls showing college hoops. The building in which this restaurant is located has, in addition to a large dining area, a large bar, and some entertainment attractions, like an extensive arcade for young children and an Extreme Virtual Reality play zone. In summary, we enjoyed the food, the service was excellent and there were diversions for kids for after meals. The only two points for potential improvement were, 1) with a menu with a number of burger options, they didn't have relish available, and 2) my wife ordered the Mac-and-cheese and found it somewhat lacking. It looked like they were using Velveeta cheese rather than a thicker type, like a cheddar. We'll be back soon!

The bartender never acknowledged us, and the server spent time in the kitchen looking at her phone and playing with her hair instead of checking on guests. We waited for more than 10 minutes without being greeted, offered menus, or even told someone would be with us shortly. What made the experience even more frustrating was watching another couple sit down at the bar after we arrived and receive immediate service while we continued to be completely overlooked. After waiting with no acknowledgment whatsoever, we got up and walked out. Even as we left, not a single employee noticed or acknowledged us. This wasn't a busy restaurant, so there is simply no excuse for this level of inattentive service. Being ignored from start to finish is unacceptable. A simple greeting or "We'll be right with you" would have taken seconds and completely changed our experience. Instead, we left feeling invisible and extremely disappointed.
