Below I will give you some great advice on why and when to come here. This will not be a food or service review. Why? Because it's an arcade. Regardless of their availabality or eatability of their food, I will come here for two things only, give or take: "House of the Dead" and "Aliens". My friends and I have burned through $100 of gametime on the "Aliens" game. I saw that movie when it was released in theaters in the 80s. It was my first sci-fi movie, the scariest movie I had ever seen, and it had the most incredible machine guns...but they were more than my feeble brain could comprehend. it still can't wrap itself around these futuristic man-toys - but now I can hold one and shoot nasty, scary Aliens with them, too. I feel just like Sigourney Weaver with fatigues. But I digress...Come here with the intent of spending hours on the Arcade games. Don't come here for the food, don't come here for the "Eat and Play" combo. Yeah, it's $15.99, and it gets you an entree and a $10 game card, but your choices will be BAR FOOD. burger, sandwhiches, dips, wings, nachos, yada yada. If you come here with the intention of gettin plowed with your friends, then sucking at the Arcade Games because you can't focus...here are the best times for doing so: Happy Hour: Mon-Fri, 1/2 price cocktails, beer and wine specials - 4:30-7p Late Nite Happy Hour: Sun-Thurs, same specials as happy hour however, i personally can do both simultaenously. and quite well. so happy hour here is a no brainer, as it is also "power hour!" If you are like me and can spend 2-3 hours here, easy, on one or two games, the following are for you: POWER HOUR: Mon-Fri 4:30-7:00, 60min. for $10 (cheap date? half off cocktails and $10 game play in one hour?) WEDNESDAY: 1/2 off all games other games i will play on 1/2 off game days: feel like i am on jeopardy by playing the super awesome "Super Trivia" (oh yes, i believe there is room for four other competitors, and you win tickets) jump into the driver's seat of a nascar in "Daytona USA" sweat like a maniac in "dance dance revolution" Finally, if you are a ticket game person and think you will walk out of there with a new stereo because you kick ass at SkiBall, think again. Three of us played for three hours, had thousands of tickets, and walked out of there with a shotglass, some jelly bellies, and a fart machine. Expect to spend hundreds, if not more - in order to get something half way decent. read more

An update to this review. After all this happened, the event organizers complained to the corporate office. Apparently, the follow up to this was that the manager who was leading the charge on doing this was fired. Good riddance. read more

Cool place to bring the kids to play games but not thrilled with the service or the food. The sever did mention that there were only two servers on so I did expect the service to be a bit slow. My son ordered the sliders and wings and I ordered the chicken and shirt alfredo. When we got our food, my sons sliders were dried out but he did enjoy the wings. I got a bowl of mac and cheese instead of my alfredo. I told the server about the mistake and he did apologized for it and said he would have my correct order right away. When my food arrived, it looked and tasted good except for the chicken was a little dry. Definitely a cool place for drinks and entertainment, not so much for the food. read more

So I am currently at D&B's and since I've been sitting here for about 20 minutes and have not yet even received a drink I decided to write a review. Service is TERRIBLE. Oh and we had to wipe out own table down prior to sitting... The staff seems like they don't even want to be here. I get it, you are at work on a Saturday but why not make the best of it and give the customer a good experience. We are celebrating my MIL's birthday and it's kind of put a damper on the night. My husband had to ask for a server and also grab our own menus. Hopefully the food is worth the wait but I won't hold my breathe.. Might be another hour before we receive. :/ Well got our food.. Took forever. Decent but lukewarm. We talked with the manager and he and the server apologized. read more

D&B has Wednesday Havana Nights on their roof top patio! With temps dropping down, it was great to start the free lesson at 7p followed with dancing at 8p. Most of the crowd is probably the ASU salsa class and friends, as its their instructor leading the lesson. That said, it is a very friendly and comfortable atmosphere... I didn't see any of the die hard salseros, so perhaps they left this venue for the newer, fresher crowd. Great place to take beginners to medium level. DJ also played bachata!!! read more

We went there for my nephews last day of school. He was super excited. Our waiter was awesome, forgot to order one of our meals but he fixed it and got the rest of our food. He was super nice about it. But to the lady with the "I like to play xbox" tag, the eye roll you gave me just to scan in my despicable me cards... girl I'm surprised your eyes didn't get stuck in the back of your head. For real, when I asked her, I just saw a white eye, no pupil, nothing. That's how hard you rolled your eyes. I understand dealing with kids all night can be stressful but I'm a grown man and asking for something simple. If it's that inconveniencing for you, asking just to do your job, circle k is always hiring. Overall fun place and was about to spend more money to play more games and get that roomba but I left after that eye roll. read more

Very disappointed with our experience at d&b. Refuse to honor a special with our dinner for kid food and a play card. Keep in mind this special was advertised in there menu that was given to us. Some sorry excuse about the menu that was given to us, was the wrong one used at the wrong time. Not to mention we are celebrating 2 b-days with over 8 people. You would think they can bend the rules a little for such a big party and spending so much money. Long story short, how much would a silly 20$ play card actually cost d&b to play the games at there establishment. ALMOST nothing thanks to the manager Chelsie. Great customer service? I think not! read more

Place is geared for ankle-biters but can be really fun if you had 5 or more mixed drinks. Shooting zombies, racing cars, shooting soldiers, shooting monsters, all that fun arcade stuff. And you also get tickets to win overstuffed animals or just put it back as credit to your Dave and Buster's card. There's a cool bar up on the 2nd floor that overlooks the mall if you get tired of all the arcade mayhem. Probably worth a couple of hours of solid fun or until a member of your group gets booted from the premises for trying to smoke in the bathroom. Whichever comes first... read more

Pleasantly surprised!! Cam here for a friends bday to watch the fights and celebrate on a Saturday night. i feel like this place has changed ALOT and taken a 180 since i was a kid. I mean FUN ON TAP (SEE MY PHOTO), DJ AT 9PM UNTIL CLOSE, GAMES LIKE YOU WOULDNT BELIEVE. This place was super fun and defintely the spot to be at. no cover charge to watch the fights. probably one of the only places not to charge a cover. good food, great prices! read more

Dave & Buster's Tempe - Calamari - Arcades Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

See all

Ordered: Fish and Chips: I'd give it a 2/10, it was that bad. was overpriced considering it was one piece of fish that tasted like it was microwaved. Coronarita drink: Surprisingly good, so 8/10, will most likely come back for drinks at least. Hottie Burger: Slightly better than the Fish/chips, but not by much. Not as low as McDonalds, but should have been much better considering the price. 3/10 Overall, a sticky and overpriced experience, from the menus to the seats and the table. Too scared to try more food, unless I ask others beforehand what for sure tastes good so that I'm not disappointed again. read more

Some economists have been predicting the collapse of the world economy. Currencies will be worth nothing and there will be pandemonium in the streets. I, however, will be able to weather this catastrophe for one reason and one reason only. Because in the end times I will be left holding the one asset and currency that will still be worth something....the Dave and Buster's prize ticket. In case you have been living in the Batcave for years watching John Candy films, which sounds like an incredible life, let me explain how the ticket system works. Anytime you play a game here you have the possibility to win tickets. The more tickets you earn the more stuffed animals, candy dispensers, plastic balls, and crappy toys you can acquire. And who doesn't love crappy toys? Answer? No one. Everyone hates crappy toys. When I was little I used to make fun of this kid because his parents were poor and all he got was knockoff toys. I got Transformers he got Go-Bots. I got Robocop he got Robot Cop. I got a lightsaber and he got a laser sword. I got Pirates of the Carribean. He got Pirates of the High Seas. What's also cool about Dave and Busters are the legendary skee ball tournaments I put together as soon as I get there. Typically I'll corner off the three lanes on the right and start waging war on innocent seven year olds. Tip; if they start beating you grab one of their balls when they aren't looking so you have one more chance to hit that elusive and legendary 100 point cup. Bottom line if you want to drop $100 to acquire enough tickets for a Dora the Explorer glow in the dark pen then this joint is your spot. read more

I'm being a little harsh here, but honestly this is up for grabs as far as stars goes. Here's the break down... Service- 4/5- I say this because it was a busy Saturday night and our waiter was slammed in the bar area, but still made sure we were somewhat taken care of. I came with one other, so our ticket wasn't going to be too high, so I can understand paying attention to bigger tables. Games 4/5- the games were decent, most worked as supposed to. The only bummer was for the DDR game, two guys played it for a hour straight. They were sweating profusely all over the game, and set up a water station with them. They didn't rotate out for others to play, little annoying. Food 2/5- Ok, as a chef I get it, it's a busy Saturday night, tables are packed. That's no excuse though for cold pizza bites, Luke warm chicken tenders. I understand most of the food is microwaved or thrown under a salamander to brown. But for it to come out cold like that is inexcusable. I was really upset to spend 30 bucks for cold food. Overall- avoid high periods of activity. You'll get cold food, sweaty people taking over games. read more

Take a group and go late. There are two key issues that present hurdles to having an all around good time at Dave and Busters. The first issue is the food is terribly overpriced and the quality was not impressive as I have found it to be greasy at times or overcooked. The second issue revolves around the bloody ankle biters, why you would want to drag your kids to a bar is far beyond me (I do however see why having kids can make you want to drink heavily) so the only obvious circumvention is to go later in the evening to avoid the annoyance. The variety of arcade games is not bad. They have several group play racing and trivia games but they are missing some staple crowd pleasing games like air hockey and strangely absent are the fighting style games (Tekken, Street Fighter, Mortal Combat, etc.). In a nutshell go later in the evening with a group for the games and stick to a simple faire of bar food or you might find yourself sorely disappointed. Tempe Market Place is a great place to wonder around in this time of year (spring) with a variety of restaurants, shops, etc. Dave and Busters is worth spending an hour or two in but if you want decent food I would look elsewhere. read more

I was actually really disappointed. I grew up going to D&B in Texas when I'd visit my family there and absolutely loved the place, but the locale at Tempe Marketplace would kind of a let down. I definitely wouldn't grade their food an A, it was decent but I mean it's 'playground' for kids and big kids alike I suppose, so you're not necessarily going for the food. But the cleanliness was horrible. I walked into the womans bathroom and almost every stall was clogged/or cluttered as if it had been TP'd by a bunch of children. Our waiter was a great help and super nice, but when I approached someone on the management staff in regards to the untidy bathroom the mans response was, "Don't worry about it we have someone on it" . I was seriously a bit taken back at his response and it rubbed me the wrong way. Don't think I'll be making another trip back, anytime soon. read more

Believe it or not, this place has salsa dancing - in an upstairs outdoor patio - on Sunday and Wednesday nights. Cost is $5. They card everyone so photo ID is mandatory. There's a beginner lesson from about 7-8:30pm and then general dancing begins around 8:30pm - with a usual repeating set of 6 salsas, 2 bachatas, 1 merengue, and 1 chachachá. read more

We went here today, to celebrate my granddaughter's 16th birthday! Even though her parents were there an hour before the party was to begin, the table wasn't ready until Almost an hour past the time the party was to start! After we were seated, and the obviously inexperienced waitress took our orders, it took forever for the food to come out! Several of the orders were wrong, and one order didn't come out until everyone else was finished with their meals. The price of the food was HIGH! On a positive note, everyone said their food was very good, once it finally came out! The atmosphere would probably be fun for tweens and teens, but for the rest of us, it was SO LOUD, I was actually afraid it would damage our hearing. To be fair, my grandchildren had a great time, and enjoyed all the games! I hope this review is helpful! read more

The NRA is laughing at me right now. Bears and squirrels love me. Thank you D&B for confirming that I should never go hunting or shoot guns. If the hunting video game could have given me a negative score, I probably would have gotten it. We just had to check it out while we waited for a free concert to begin, even if my dexterity and video game skillz aren't quite what they were back in 1989 and even if we had to endure multiple nerd alerts. This place is predictable. Great concept, weak execution. Average food, small weak cocktails and as others have said before tons of video games, skeeball and the like. The Thursday night scene consisted of ASU students, young suburban couples and packs of 20-something dudes, and thankfully no kids in sight. The rechargeable card thing isn't exactly intuitive. I ended up getting charged a few more times than I should have. Doh. I'll probably come back when my 19 year old brother is in town, but for now I'll stick with house get-togethers for video games. read more

Yesterday my group at work had a team building lunch followed by a competitive round of games. We were a group of about 20 with prior reservations and they had a separate room awaiting our arrival. There was one main waitress who was assisted by a couple of others when the food was served. If I didn't look around at my dining companions, I wouldn't have felt like I was in a large group. The drinks were brought out quickly and promptly filled. When the food was brought out, the orders were correct, the temperature was excellent and it didn't take long to serve everyone. I had the blackened chicken pasta and it was a good sized portion, good flavor and an all around descent meal for the price. I would definitely order it again. While we were eating the store manager came out and gave us a background on the company's history, the business model, how it has adjusted to the recession and described the length of time and number of staff it requires to open a new location. The newer models are smaller and require less time and resources to open - 45 days and a new store can be ready to go. This location is approximately 53,000 sq feet, while there are smaller ones around 15,000 sq feet. After lunch, we broke up into teams and played 5 different games in a head to head format. Everyone had a good time and enjoyed not only the dining, but the gaming experience. I have been to the location in Atlanta and this was just as fun. It was an excellent team builder and gave me the opportunity to check out this location. Bravo to the bosses for picking this place. read more

Me and my wife decided to try dave and busters and we had the worst server of all time. I had to ask some to grab our server. And he still did come. So I asked a food runner to grab our server, he came to the wrong table. So my grab a manager and told them what happened and we had our drinks and appetizers for free. And a gift card. So I would like to thank our server for such bad service. read more

Shout out to Sterling for wonderful service, considering it was a UFC night and the place was packed and busy Sterling waited on us with grace, kindness and persistence. There was a little hiccup with my order but Sterling and the manager on duty made sure to make it right. It's very telling when staff are overwhelmed and busy yet still keep composure and niceness in line. Thank you and we will be back again for the next UFC fight night. Thanks again Sterling. read more

As much as I like Gameworks, you can't drink and drive at Gameworks! I like the fact you can drink, drink, drink to your hearts content and then play video games with other stupidly drunk adults at Dave and Buster's! I've been to many D&B's in CA and they were all much larger, had a wider selection of games, and were decorated to a tee. This place doesn't quite live up, however there's always a place in my heart for Dave and Buster's, no matter how small and cheezy because I can drink ALCOHOL while slamming tokens into a game to win lots of tickets. Whee! They've got a pretty decent happy hour too. The food is blech, wouldn't eat it again and it's expensive too. Everything else makes me happy. I was soooooooooo happy to see a Dave and Buster's finally make it to Arizona! read more

This was my first visit to any Dave & Busters since we don't have them in the Reno area. I went with my son, his friend and a friend of mine during a trip out of town to the Tempe area. The place is huge and pretty exciting when you first enter with a bar in front, games in the rear and dining area on both sides of the bar. It appears that the right side of the dining area (which is closed off to games) is more for folks who want to just eat and sit away from the gaming action. The rest of the tables are either bar-side or right next to all of the games. The hostess took a good amount of time being nice and explaining the "pay and play" specials and other options we had. I ended up buying a $12.00 playing card (which I think loaded up 48 "chips") and ordering off the menu. They have a pretty varied menu although it really is just more creative "sports bar" food with a tad higher price. I ended up splitting a burger with my friend - don't remember the name but it was a beef patty with buffalo chicken strips on it and onion straws on top. (Yeah - you read that right). My son got a mushroom burger and asked for no onions. He and I also split the spinach dip. Feelings on food changed during the course of our visit. My friends soup came out cold twice and once she finally got a hot one she didn't care for it - too salty. My son loved his burger (even though he had to pick the onions off since they didn't see the "no onion" request). The spinach dip was very good. The burger my friend and I split was tasty although dry so we got a side of Frank's sauce. My friend later got sick but I was fine so maybe it was her soup? Our waiter was very busy and seemed very new - he was also very nice so I personally didn't much mind the small mistakes because he felt so bad about it. They have a HUGE variety of games. I just glanced around but saw everything under the sun. They evven have a horror game that monitors your heart rate!!! (Say WHAT!?) The ticket redemption center is not like most arcades with a bar of toys an angry teenager behind it. This was huge and more like a store of goodies than anything else. You can walk around and touch/feel and pay with the prizes before you commit to spending your tickets. When all was said and done I had spent $42.00. That total included 2 drinks, 2 entrees (1 split), 1 appetizer and 54 game chips. I didn't think that was bad at all and I would go again for sure! Final thoughts: 1 - I don't love the limited options to re-load the card. My son only needed 6 more chips to play the game he wanted to at the end of the day and since the re-load machine doesnt offer 6 chips I had to use my debit card twice to get 3 more chips twice. That was annoying. 2 - The have a huge beer........it's cool.........it's like a big mini keg and holds about 8 beers. I think it costs around $30.00. I want it. 3 - I seriously wanna get a group of adults to this place and drink and play games. That is all. read more

arrived at 1:08. (That's the time on receipt from purchasing game cards) sat down to eat first. Appetizer came out super fast but then we waited for almost an hour for the rest of our food. The waiter told us the kitchen was behind, but everyone was getting food all around us including people who came after us! We were just about to leave when the waiter finally brought half of us food. Then another 8 minutes passed before he brought the kids their food. Utterly ridiculous. He gave us a power up card, however we had already purchased $80 in game play. It was my nieces birthday and the whole thing was really disappointing. 82 on lunch and 40 in game play, was a hefty price tag for such a horrible experience. (Luckily we had coupons for gameplay) read more

The food: * * The fun: * * * * I went with the average of the two here. The food was nothing special... extremely generic, generally bland, and blatantly overpriced. The only things worse were the drink prices. I would only get something to eat here if you're doing the "Eat and Play" combo deal (or whatever it's called). The games on the other hand are a pretty cool addition to a night of food and drinks. There's pretty much something for everyone, from the traditional skeeball to the more ornate virtual boxing. I have fun skipping around like a three year old from one game to another, collecting tickets along the way like I'm driving through Texas. Georgeann G and I tried the "what your baby would look like" machine and the kid looked like Mike TV from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, that was pretty memorable. Don't forget your fun... read more

I can't count how many Wednesday's I've been here. Why Wednesday well games are 1/2 off so my credits go longer. Kilt Lifter & Lagunitas IPA on Tap. The games are modern as well as a few old school. The 4 way air hockey is a blast. I can't wait for the one at West Gate to open it will save me some driving time. If you didn't collect enough tickets for something good save them for next time. You can accumulate them in your card. read more

Four words: Video Games And Beer! I was broke that night so I was rocking a sucktastic Coor's Light in a mug the size of a small grain silo that cost me less than six bucks before tip. The games are all run on these rechargable cards. They have tons of video games, and of course skee ball and those silly basketball hoops. Bring friends, get silly, and play some games. You're not likely to meet a girl here unless she's working. Do yourself a favor and don't bother the help unless you're just so fabulous that they cannot resist you. In which case, you and I can be the two exceptions. Or you could be daring and lure a girl here. Come on, video games are almost cool now! Ladies, if you're looking for an eligible geeky guy who's possibly socially challenged but likely trainable, this would be a prime spot. When I was there it wasn't all that busy (Monday night) but the staff seemed friendly and eager to please. There was a slight incident with an overly friendly guy who wanted to be our personal trainer on this game that resembles DDR but is too hard for words because of all the hopping skipping and jumping in different directions. Anyways, I'm pretty certain by the lack of uniform that he was not working there, just trying to be friendly. A little too friendly. But back to the game itself. Man it was hard! But hey, if you don't mind looking retarded in public, which I don't, -especially when playing video games - it's great cardio. Play Time Crisis 4 at least once. Tell them I made you. Edit: I hear what Max is saying. There were no kids there when I was there. I suggest you go later and drink more. read more

Absolutely horrible. We arrived at 7pm with our entire volleyball team and parents after a long day of tournament play. 2.5 hrs later they say our kitchen is a hot mess. Never got fed. Its almost 10pm, they have not eaten and we play at 8am in the morning. If I ran this place, I would fire myself. Absolutely horrible. read more

Compared to other D&Bs around the country, this one is pure crap. Where most D&Bs have well planned, permanent eating areas (booths), this one has an empty area with a bunch of tables and chairs thrown in there. There is more comfort and ambiance at Chuck E Cheese! The food and service here is also worse than any other D&Bs I've ever been to. I think they abducted their wait staff from McDonalds. The games are standard, nothing special there. Overpriced as always. I suppose if you're some drunk college kid who doesn't know any better, this place is heaven, but for the rest of us it's a waste of time and money. P.S. I have to laugh at the dumbass who complained about the fact that there are children at an arcade! Oh the nerve!!! How dare parents bring children to an arcade!?!? Get a life snigglenuts! read more

The staff is really awesome, and I grew up by an arcade so it definitley takes me back. However on a busy night this place is clearly a spot for bad parents to go out and drink while their 8 kids run around, one ran into me and I spilled some of my drink. I'd say go to this place on a school night. read more

I'm used to the Dave and Busters in Cleveland Ohio which is the size of a small city This Dave and Busters is much smaller than the Cleveland one, and it didn't have a lot of my favorite games :( Next time I'll just stick in my hood and go to Gameworks Dave and Busters - Gameworks - Jillians = all the same! THEY'RE THE SAME! Just go to the one closest to your house. Boo. read more

I have met friends here on a couple of occasions now. Rarely do I order food as I usually just sit and have a few drinks at the front bar and this last time we hung out at the bar on the other side of the arcade near the party rooms. The bar service is usually slow or overwhelmed. The food is typical of other chains like Applebees or TGIFridays. I have a card with reward credits and a few game credits. I get bored easily with the games and when I go look at the prizes, there's nothing that's screams cool...I want to play more games to win it...except maybe those grillz...ya know the bling bling for your teeth...I've got some tickets town win... Hummmm... read more

I don't understand why this place has gotten such a negative reaction from some people. Beer... and video games. Sign me up! In my opinion, this place knocks the socks off of Gameworks. When I drink beer at Dave and Buster's, I don't have to go upstairs, drink, go downstairs, play, then go upstairs again. The viscious cycle has been removed. I can set my beer right next to the arcade. Gameworks is fun, sure, but I think that little kids are gross. They have boogers on their fingers. There aren't any booger-fingery little bastards running around at D & B. This place can be a little pricey, but it's not overly pricey. These aren't dive bar prices. The way I see it, I'm paying a little extra so as to remove myself from the threat of having a baby scream right next to me, right when I'm about to shoot a zombie. Also, one time, I won enough tickets to get a Star Wars film cell. Dorky? You're damn right, it is. Is that shit hanging up on a shelf at home, right now, as we speak? You're damn right, it is. read more

Saturday afternoon with my 10 year old, today he chose Dave and Busters. $23 sure doesn't go very far in an arcade anymore. Always a fun time with your kids here, had some snack during our visit. Quesadilla's and sliders, nothing to write home about, quick easy bar food. read more

I came in tonight with my family and asked to add credits to my wrist band, a man named Julian rudely told me that my band didn't work and it wasn't his fault it didn't want to scan, I had expressed there was no damage done to my band at all, he said that I dropped it or something and I had to buy a new one, there was nothing he could do, then walked away and assisted another customer! I honestly don't think I'll be coming back read more

How can you go wrong with four games and drinks you can't!! On the menu items are delicious of tried several different ones of me and my family, bring the kids along play a game and food options for them also. Happy our offer some really great drinks at half-price, try the original snowcone it's one of my favorites! Definitely will be back here like visit Phoenix again. read more

I recently came to Dave and Busters with some friends for country Tuesday! We had such a great night! The music and dancing were amazing! We also had dinner and drinks. I had the strawberry watermelon margarita and the fire-grilled salmon! Both were fairly healthy and delicious! I would definitely recommend them both! In fact I'm probably going to be ordering them again! read more

Great place to watch a game. Play some games. Food is amazing. Great drink prices. Def a fun place

I do not recommend coming here to play arcade games. I came on a Tuesday for their "Power Hour" which is advertised on their website as "play an entire hour of UNLIMITED video games for $10". See my photo screenshot - there's no fine print and no caveats. Obviously just like any other arcade, it won't work for ticket/redemption games. So I walk in and have to wait for an employee to (as the hostess described) walk to the farthest part of the place to get a Power Hour Card because they don't keep them up front...really? There is nobody else in line, so I wait while the hostess tries to make small talk. So I finally get my card, pay my $10 and I go to the closest video game, Rampage. Notice that I said "video game", not ticket/redemption game. I slide my card and start a game. It lasts about 2 minutes or so and I die, so I slide my card to continue. Nope - tells me I don't have enough credits. After a few more tries I go back up to the front and the hostess tells me the only video games the Power Hour Card works with are blue lighted. Now, keep in mind that this is nowhere on the advertisement (again, see photo screenshot) and this was not told to me during the whole time I was waiting for the card. The hostess calls up a manager who admittedly very nicely tells me there is a 60-second delay on the cards and I tell him I definitely played for more than 60 seconds. We walk over to the video games and he tells me that Rampage and a few other video games won't work for the Power Hour. First of all, I ask why it even allowed me to play it the first time, for which he has no answer. Then I tell him that's not on their advertisement - to which he tells me in fact it is - again, see screenshot photo from Dave & Buster's Tempe website. Why in the world would I pay to play unlimited video games for an hour if I can't even play video games. I give up on this guy because clearly he just wants to get me out of the place so without another word I get my money back and leave. Seriously, that is false advertising. It was just me, in between meetings, but what if I brought kids in to play and that's what we're greeted with. This place may be great for football games, food and beer - but most definitely not for Power Hour videos games. read more

Dave & Buster's Tempe - Arcades Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I had a positive attitude when i came here for dinner, i really wanted to like the food but it was just a total let down. go figure eh' ? You can't have an establishment that has fun games and good food under one roof. The menu and food can (in my opinion) be looked at like an upgraded Applebee's menu. B/f steak was not cooked the way he ordered it, the Nachos we had to start were the best part of the meal. ( But nachos are good at any sports function so you don't need to be on Iron Chef to whip up a good batch of em').. i got the BLTA sandwich and honestly how can you mess up such a classic sandwich???? i was just overall not impressed at all and even kind of mad that i had to pay for it... read more

Dave & Buster's Tempe - Arcades Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

We've dropped lots of cash on the D&B cards.. we've drank and played... (I usually know where to play for the high ticket jackpots)... earned some tickets.. then, at the end of the night when we have combined all our tickets (apparently not really all that much), we find ourselves looking sadly at the *crap* they have in their little store and deciding we should just give away the tickets to any kiddos nearby and walk out while we still are in an up-beat mood. Food is lame (better options nearby), service is standard, atmosphere is fun and so are the games.. but be prepared to spend a pretty penny for the game entertainment. read more
