I Always have a fun time when i come here i usually spend my birthdays here, actually i spent my 21st birthday here in 2013 and it was crazy because i was sure that i just could handle so much liquor because i had so much drinks and didn't get sick or hungover the next day or anything, considering ive never drank before hahaha. Well, 2 years later i went here ate, food was okay service was okay but then i got some drinks, and my drinks were so weak it was sad. no wonder i spend my 21st birthday and drank like 10 drinks and didn't get sick. THEY PUT NO LIQUOR IN THEIR DRINKS. So its my 23rd birthday, and my friend asked the bar tender if she could make me a strong long island and she gives us a dirty ass look and says "Yeah no" what a happy birthday to me huh? rude service by the ladies that work there, the men are okay though... i wont return, ill be going to scene75 where everyone is nice. You guys lost a loyal customer because of one women. i spent my 15,16,17,18,20,21,and 23 birthday here.... smh read more

Two stars is being generous. Appetizers were good, but then again they're appetizers. How hard is that for a chain? Our server, Sam, didn't bring our drinks out until our food, had to ask her for the same things multiple times, and she snuck an extra (more expensive) margarita on to our bill. The margarita was also extremely salty, stay away from the patron margarita. read more

Food tasted good but the service was super slow. They need more staff. The place was dirty with uncleared tables. Also, a lot of the games were out of order or took my points and didn't work. read more

Let me preface this review by saying that I have been to this location several times before, but never for dinner, and I have always had a great time in the game room. Last night, myself and three friends decided to grab dinner and drinks at Dave and Buster's restaurant, and then head to the game room. We had no problem loading our play cards and were pretty excited to see that the restaurant was nowhere near busy despite the "half priced games" special on Wednesdays. After waiting a few minutes at the deserted host stand, we got the attention of the host and were seated quickly. There were four or five other diners in our section and two wait staff that I noticed. Our waitress brought out our waters pretty quickly, but had some issues with the drink orders. I specifically asked if they carried Hendricks gin, and was told that they do not. We placed our cocktail orders and after about ten minutes the waitress came back with a drink menu and questioned one of our orders. She had to be shown on the menu where the cocktail was in order to have the drink made by the bartender. Strange. So our drinks came out about another ten to fifteen minutes later, and we then ordered our food. I had the mac and cheese and my friend ordered the Alfredo pasta. When the food came out another half hour later, only three dishes were present. She asked who had the Alfredo Mac and cheese, and when my friend and I clarified that one had ordered the Alfredo and the other Mac and cheese, she clarified that the dish we were still waiting on was the Alfredo. I took the dish she said was Mac and cheese and we waited about fifteen minutes for the final plate to arrive. When it did, we found that the fresh dish was mine and the one that had been sitting at the table for fifteen minutes was my friends. The noodles in the two dishes were the same but that's about it. To top it off, upon leaving the dining room and heading to the bar in the game room, I immediately spotted the Hendricks at the bar. I understand being new or even not having the full drink menu memorized, but if a patron asks for a specific liquor and you're not sure if you carry it, ask the bartender! Two stars for the food being great, though not hot by the time all of the food was placed on the table, and the enjoyable atmosphere. No more because of the subpar service. read more

The food is average but the wait is ridiculous. I have never been here when it was busy (early afternoon) but still have to wait a ridiculous amount of time for our food. Granted, we come here for our daughter to have fun with the games but we are still paying a fair amount for the food. Also, the kids menu could use some work (more choices). read more

This is a fun place to hang out with friends. There are so many games for groups of all sizes. The food is really good too, which was a surprise to me. The night we were there the service was incredibly slow, which was disappointing, but the bar service was better. If you are looking for a fun night out, this is a great option. read more

Wow video arcades have come a long way. This place is actually as fun for adults as it is for kids. They have a full restaurant with an impressive menu and a full bar. Not just nachos and hot dogs, you can actually have 4 star fare. Tons of things to do with the kids of course. I would recommend going here if you want to get the family together for a fun night out! read more

Food was very good. The server had some trouble with a party of 14. But they should have giving us 2 servers. But she was nice and did her best. How ever my wife got her order mixed up and they brought something similar in name but way different in products lol in the end food was good and every one had a good time read more

I have never been more disappointed in service then I was during this visit. My girlfriend and I came in on a Saturday night expecting it to be busy, but were not prepared to be completely ignored for upwards of fifteen minutes. We went to the bar in the restaurant and found two open seats. The table was still covered in dirty dishes from the previous guests so we stood at the seats and waited for the plates to be cleared to make sure we weren't mistaken and there were still guests there. After fifteen minutes we decided to sit down at the two seats. The two bartenders made eye contact with us more times then we could count but never said a single word. We were growing frustrated as every time we tried to get there attention they turned the other way. After far too long of being patient I finally flagged down a bartender where he rushed through our drink order. Keep in mind the dirty food trays from the first guests were still in front of us. He came back with our drinks and left before we could ask for the dirty plates to be removed. Finally, he came back and removed them and our open tap quickly turned to a closed tap. We finished our beers and left as fast as we could. Felt very disrespected as customers and will not be returning. Oh, and the bartenders had their masks around their chins our entire visit... not safe. read more

I can't even remember the last time I was at a Dave and Busters! A friend of mine suggested we meet there for a happy hour and to grab some food. I loved the half price cocktails! Yum! We shared the nachos and they were some of the best nachos I have had in a long time! I had the boneless buffalo wings for my meal and they were spot on, a little spicy but I like 'em that way! Not big into playing the games, but I would go back for the happy hour :o) read more

Definitely one of the larger ones in the area, which is a handful of good along with the bad... The really good, is there are a ton of games!!! The eat and play combos are definitely worth it if you're going hungry. It's like paying $5 for a $13 meal! If you have game cards, make sure you bring them/hold on to them, as they will charge you $2 for the card itself. Also, if you frequent it more than twice a year, or have kids, register your card with your email address online. Every month it seems they send you a new coupon good for either free tickets, free game play or buy-one-get-one offers on food and/or game play. There are so many games to play in this place as well! Which means there's normally a wait just be warned. But the prizes are much better here... well they used to be. Maybe its just the holiday season that they got rid of the actually cute clothes that didn't have their huge logo on them and replaced it with all kinds of appliances?! Yes... 3 different kinds of coffee makes, 2 different George Foreman type grills, a blender, a toaster, you name it. But be warned you will wait for a table in a not so waiting area... People just gather in the hallway and don't move for anything. If you're playing pool, you need to get the supplies at the front counter, which always seems understaffed, and then go pick out a table. Also, just be warned you will wait if you're being served by the cocktail staff. They seem to go all the way to the other end of the restaurant to do anything, like run your bill at the end of the night. But really this isn't a bad place to go with a group of people on a fun different night out. There is plenty to do there to satisfy everyone, no matter the age read more

Massive place and has everything you can imagine. Unbelievable happy hour from 4:30-7. Jack Daniels and coke for $3!!!!

Ordered the nachos with buffalo chicken. It had ground beef in it that tasted like it was soaked in salt and taco seasoning. The food was luke warm and looked like it had sat out for a while. read more

The Thursday all you can eat and unlimited games is an outright scam and they should be reported. There are literally two games you can play. Date night ruined. Food is disgusting. Waste of 40 bucks that could be used elsewhere. read more

D&B is a blast!!!!! Don't forget to tip ur bartender, Brian was the best!

Great place, good inexpensive foods, games and pool. I'm visiting from California, the service is what made it good for me.

Food is average, but the atmosphere and the games are fantastic. Never too crowded because the place is so big. Lots of TV screens and places to catch a game....the "arcade" section is huge. You wont be bored and really the prices arent too bad. Recommended for adults and/or family. read more

When we first came in, the host was less than enthusiastic about us waiting for him at the stand. Lets just say, if looks could kill, he probably would have stabbed us with a knife anyway. The waitress was very sweet but I ordered chicken tacos and got steak tacos instead. The food was as decent as Dave and busters usually is. read more

I went to this Dave and Buster's location for the first time although I've been to one in Houston, TX years ago. I knew to expect the hugeness of it all and the wonderful food. The actual event was much different than my memory of D & B's. The food was excellent and reasonably priced for the size and quality of the food. The noise level was up there but it was Saturday night. It was to be expected. Several birthday parties or family get-togethers for Mother's Day dotted the restaurant portion so the wait staff were very busy. Our waitress, Taryn, was a great one to check on us for whatever we needed or wished for AND handled a large party of approximately 10 people without appearing frazzled. The game portion was very entertaining. One half of the floor has the arcade games or role playing games like car racing or shooting the aliens - those don't generate tickets. The other half had the ones that spit out tickets like crazy with Skee-ball or dancing mat games. We ended up spending more of our playing points on the car racing and shooting games. The Skee-ball game was always full so we didn't play it until almost towards the end. In all, it was a great experience even though kids were still around at 9-10pm and kind of dampened the adult fun of it all with kids running around and yelling. Word of advice - if you want to win a toy for a child or a girlfriend, be prepared to drop some crazy money on the machines to win tickets. Toys average from 250-400 tickets. The good news is you can keep the points in your power play card for the next time you come in. read more

See all

Poor service took 2 hrs for supper, server was a mess who seemed frazzled. Forgot our player cards, bar served a drink knowing they didn't have all the components. It was our first and last time there. What a disappointment. read more

Was there New Years Eve, only one other couple at the bar and the bartender completely forgot to make our drinks! Me move to the game room to have food and drinks, better service even though they were busy in there. read more

Waited 1:15 for mini-burgers and fries! Went there in a group of 9 for lunch and they were so understaffed it wasn't funny. We were the only people in there too! I don't blame our waitress at all. She was completely overwhelmed. We asked to speak to the manager and we did complain about the wait. The manager said he'd take care of us and when we were cashing out and he didn't do anything. All I know is I won't be going there ever again. Why can't Yelp give us the option of giving no stars? That's the only reason they received 1 star. read more

We have had good experiences with Dave and Busters, my son wants to go there every year for his birthday

The gaming experience is great. Me and my family really enjoyed it. It can be quiet expensive to have family fun but it you have extra money to spulge with why not. And sometimes they may have some sort of gaming special. So signing up to be on there mailing list comes in handy. You'll get notified when there's a special.. Now on to the food!! I'm not a picky eater at all I find the best in every meal because I love food. However the food here was the worst I had in my life it seemed like they tried to prepare a gourmet meal in the microwave no flavor or seasoning. I ordered a pasta dish. I wish I would of stuck to something simple like a burger or wings. My daughter ordered a steak pasta dish. It was horrible as well read more

Games are great and fun toys and prizes are great too you can use the card as many time with the power up's lots of new games. but the one thing is we ate in the game room area and we sat at a table and then it forever for a waitress to come and take are orders and then it took for ever for them to give us the food the food was ok For food maybe go somewhere else for food but for game they are great and fun. read more

Was just there last night and it was horrible. Normally I love Dave and busters but it was horrible last night. The food service was actually great and they were super friendly but the games were really bad. You would scan your card for the game and it would take your credits and not let you play the game or you would play the game and wouldn't give you your tickets. It wasn't just like that for one or two but it was like that for a lot of them. Again, the service was great and so was the food but the games were horrible. The service was the only reason I gave it a 2 star. read more

The place is great to spend time with family, but sometimes it's so crowded and i think they should do something about it. On every 2nd game machine I found myself waiting long minutes to play and that is not fun! Overall i like the place and still gonna go there once in a while. read more

Dave and Buster's has it all! Great place to eat, drink, play, win and watch! Awesome happy hour Monday through Friday!

Great facility for corporate events. food is always fresh & hot. staff very helpful & curtious

Wish i could give 0 stars. Worst experience ever. This was the first and last time I will EVER go to Dave and Busters. They refused to let me use a gift card with a current special. Rip off to screw customers over. Don't go here ever. read more

Use to go here and eat n play all the time. About 3 years ago we stopped the eating part as the food/service took a nose dive. It was still a fun place to take the family though after dinner elsewhere. The last couple of times has us rethinking the play part now. Seems like half the games are out of order or take your credit and don't play. They took the games that were easy ticket wins and got rid of those. Now they have a bunch of vr games,(a few of which don't work). If a game messes up and takes your credit good luck finding the 15 year old to "fix" it. Don't know what happened in last 5 years but this location has changed drastically in every aspect of their business. Hopefully they can right the ship and not continue letting it sink as this was a really fun, quality place to take the family for a night of fun. read more

Always go down there with my gf for the pump it up dance game every week, all the staffs are very friendly, the food is awesome, and the bar os really nice. Definitely a good place to hangout with friends or ha e fun with family. Highly recommend change the pad for the dance game, the pad is old and broken!!! Hope to see them improve or update the game a bit. read more

Do I even have to give a star? Worst restaurant I have ever been to. Took an hour and a half to get seated ...After an hour and a half of waiting they then told us it would be another hour and half so we said uh no?! And they said okay then it will be 5 minutes.. after that it took 15-20 minutes to even get a server. I had to go ask for one. Then after we all ordered we got our appetizers 20 minutes later (still no drinks) a few of us went to the bar to get drinks because it was taking so long. So finally after all of this we get our food (an hour later) and the burgers were under cooked. Like where it's not even legal to serve .My friends salad had obviously been sitting there for 30 minutes it was soggy and the chicken was chewy like rubber. My other friend didn't even get her food until we were all finishing...Oh my gosh this place is the worst. We al need to stop giving them our business. read more

Dave & Buster's Springdale - Cincinnati - So undercooked I will probably get sick later. - Arcades Near Me - Springdale, Ohio

Our bartender/waitress was ambre and she was absolutely stunning! We had an unexpected party of ten she was more than accommodating never lost track of us or our tabs made wonderful drinks and was funny! What more could you ask?! The rest of the staff in the game room was very friendly and quick to help if we had a question/issue. I would definitely recommend Dave and busters in tri county even though we were there a Tuesday afternoon from the moment we walked in to the moment we left staff was always on hand and all were happy and friendly... Thank you for the great Birthday experience. read more

I love this place. I'm pretty much a regular at this point and come every week. Food is great, especially for the price. The bar staff is one of the best around. They are extremely personable and they all seem to really know their stuff. read more

I love this place. The food is very tasteful and elegant. The games are very fun to play. The only downside I can see is it costs a lot to eat and play games. read more

We came her with a group of about 40 consisting of both kids and adults so one of the parents organized a private room with a buffet. The room was a great size and the food was average. Mini pizza, sliders, mac n cheese, chicken strips, and fries. This is the largest D&B I have been in and it was pretty well maintained. For about $25 a person we got all the food and soft drinks + $20 of preloaded cards per person. So to eat and spend 2 hrs with a large group it was a success! read more

Love this place but its only really worth it if u go on Wednesdays its half price games!!!

my friends and i frequent at this dave and busters but today we had a very interesting experience. we sat down to get food and waited a pretty long time, but we dont mind we just sat patiently and about 15 minutes in our waiter comes over and says "what do you guys want" immediately, when we told him he huffed and walked away. maybe we caught him on a bad day im not sure but now there is a crazy lady running through the dining area yelling so maybe fridays at 4 pm arent prime hours for dave and busters. im concerned. read more
