    The food was surprisingly good. Service was excellent. We ate in the game room, so ambiance was a bit load. So my only suggestion would be to eat in a quieter room. We had the Game Day Grub and Cruspy Business appetizer platters and we liked them both. For my entree, I had the Stacked Steak protien bowl and enjoyed it. It wasn't a steakhouse steak, but for the money, it was worth it.

    Today I explored the Dave and Buster's located in Utica Michigan. I have to say I was very shocked by the 2.3 star review ratings. When I entered the establishment it was immaculately clean the floors were spotless and all the games were kept well except for a few. Due to some wear and tear. If this is your first time at Dave and Buster's here's a tip I recommend visiting on Wednesday as it is half off games Wednesday meaning the original price is half off. From there I also recommend downloading the Dave and Buster's rewards app where you can score a $20 rewards card just for downloading the app. With that also being said I also recommend arriving when they first open at 10 AM during summer hours that way you can beat crowds. I do see some handicap accessible parking to the right of the main entrance. However if you're parking at one of the spots farther down with a handicap placard there is a ledge that's something to be aware of however when you go to the main entrance is accessibility. There is no push button on the doors as well. I also noticed on the main entrance that there is not visible signage for their hours they did have a placard for their summer hours but not there Monday through Saturday hours. I did get a chance to interact with staff they were very friendly. There are ramps in the building as well.

    The food was amazing. We got boneless wings in bbq honey and loaded fries. It was so good and then we played games. The VR Godzilla Was the best game I have ever played and I can't wait to go back and do it again . Check them out . They have a lot of new games

    It's Dave and Buster's Been coming here for years. Nothing really bad. There is an age limit at night. Good food, tv, drinks, bar, games, private party. Very big location. Menu is always changing. Not to expensive. For video games, this is 2nd place. First places goes to Round1. No one can beat Round1. Their places are always huge and this place is no exception. RIP Buster. Highly recommended

    Lots of parking & it's very big and spacious for lots of people to fit into the building. They have decent menu/drink options. Lots of games to choose from as well. It's clean, has AC, good food and drinks! Definitely recommend. Employees here are nice and engages well with their customers. Would go here over Chuck E. Cheese's anytime now. It's more pricey but definitely worth it. Bring your whole fam and eat here!

    Very clean and well-kept. However the service was definitely not the greatest. Hardly had any attention paid to us, had to literally flag down the staff to get any orders in, they were not friendly at all when bringing us food, and overall just seemed to have a lot of people near the front to greet people but not enough back where it actually counts. Other than that, food was fine and most games were functional as well, which is always a nice plus.

Main issue with this place is it's over priced. I ordered the safest thing you can possibly order when trying a new restaurant. Chicken tenders. 12 dollars, this is what you get 4 tenders that look like this with absolutely no fries or onion rings to come with it. I remover asking the waitress how many comes with the tenders. She said 6. She was guessing because 6 is what should've came with these. At this price range I can go to Culver's and get 4 tenders with fries and a drink basically. We also ordered bang bang shrimp for an appetizer. Absolutely nothing was wrong with it. Was pretty good. Then we ordered these tater kegs. (Our fault for not resting description). These tater tots were huge and stuffed. Which is absolutely not what we were expecting. A tot is small not BIG. We were expecting a Keg of Tater tots. It's like going to Mondo Burger and ordering tator tots & you get these huge too big tater tots. Overall, this place is nice but it relies on gimmicks, sure you can play games and drink pretty drinks out of fishbowls but you're gonna pay the price. One Eyed Jacks is probably a perfect place to go to for happy hour or any day where everything is half off. Mid food. Nice views. But that's all you get.

Competition is fierce, with a lot of good options, which is great for the customer. Joey B's definitely belongs in that company: the alcohol options are many, prices are reasonable, TVs are everywhere you look, and the food is very good. My wife ordered the grilled chicken sandwich, which she does just about everywhere. It definitely met her approval (not bad, coming from a chicken sandwich "expert"). The seasoning is good, the chicken is perfectly cooked, and the fries are great. While my wife stuck with her old standby, I went on a little adventure. Why does a pub have gyros on the menu? I had to find out. Eating establishments sometimes stray out of their comfort zone to try to appeal to more people, and the results are usually not good. So, how was the gyro? IT WAS GREAT! Seriously, this is one of the best gyros I've ever had anywhere. The pita was thick and tasted like it was freshly baked. There was a substantial amount of flavorful meat (you can also get a chicken gyro). And, the tzatziki sauce was good (it needed more dill, but I can say that about many Greek restaurants). I got sweet potato fries on the side, which were earthy and tasty without any real seasoning. Unfortunately, Joey B's isn't in a great spot, at the end of a strip mall, off a busy road (Van Dyke). I only found it because of Yelp...I would have driven right by and never known there was a restaurant there. But, the locals seem to know they have a good thing going here. The mid-afternoon crowd was decent, which is encouraging. But, the bartender had to also wait on all the tables, which led to spotty service. I do plan to return here, at least in part because I want to be able to say that one of the best gyros in the area isn't in Greektown: it's right here, in Sterling Heights.

The waitress was great and really sweet about it. She apologized 100 times and went to get the manager. When the manager finally came out, she apologized but didn't really seem like she knew how to handle that type of situation. Didn't say she'll comp it or anything close to that. She asked if I wanted anything else, to which I declined, and then took the food to the kitchen and never returned. When the bill arrived, thankfully she did comp my portion of the meal.
