Overpriced and never clean. I'm basing my review off their arcade and bathrooms. I have had a birthday party there and have attended for various events but I'd like to make note that their machines are outdated, overpriced, and constantly breaking. We've been to other locations and they have way more to offer. The "prizes" are SHEIN quality. Their employees are helpful but need to clean better. Every table or area we took a break at was dirty and we came during a slow time so it was not busy at all. The bathrooms were so nasty that I had to go out to the mall to take my little to use the restroom. We don't normally eat here during our morning visits so I can't say much on their food or drinks. Overall, if it wasn't for the kids asking to stop by I would never frequent this location. We now tend to go across the street to the small crane arcade afterwords to at least get some bang for our bucks. read more

1. Our event has 22 children but there was only one person assigned to our event. While I think she did her best and was very kind, she was still only one person. 2.We did the stack n play 1030-1230 party and we never received the chocolate syrup, strawberries, or whip cream(I was told it was still frozen and she did bring out a small plate after I asked with what she could gather from the frozen whip cream) we should have had pancakes, syrup, chocolate syrup, whip cream, sprinkles, strawberries, and Oreo crumbles per the website. 3.The drink containers were not filled until after the kids had already eaten and were asking for a beverage. 4. I kept the children at the table because the food was to be served at 1045 but was not served until 1100 which made it more difficult for us to stay on schedule. 5. The "unlimited" green games was very unfortunate as the amount of green games was extremely minimal. I was very shocked at how little games were actually green. It would be very nice if after the $10 is spent that the kids could still play any game but just not receive tickets. That truly limited them and was such a bummer. 6. Multiple cards (to include my birthday boys bracelet) stopped working even for green games. While they worked to fix this it took away even more of their playing time which was very frustrating. The employees also wanted to know which kid and which games specifically thinking it was a game issue so that too took time to work through. 7. The gratuity auto placed on the receipt is not just on food but also on the cost of the game cards which is strange. In addition it is not listed as gratuity but something else which had I not prepared for that ahead of time I would have missed this entirely. 8. I ordered 3 platters (grapes/strawberries/cheese) and bacon (but this was per person pricing of a side) it would be very nice if you offered some sides options in addition to the two pancakes per person for this breakfast party. The other times have so many options and this one I had to piece together to feel complete. Over all the host for our party was very kind and worked her best for us I feel. But there were multiple unfortunate frustrations for us which was a bummer. read more

I understand that it's the holidays and restaurants can get busy but this place honestly wasn't even that crowded. We were seated quickly and everything seemed fine at first but after that the service really went downhill. It took about 15 minutes just to get our drinks. We ordered our food which took around 20 minutes to come out but when it arrived we weren't given any utensils. After waiting another 10 minutes for utensils my food was already cold. I ordered a burger and on top of everything they were extremely stingy with the napkins basically none were provided, so I had to rush to the restroom. Waiting close to 45 minutes total with only a moderate amount of people in the restaurant is pretty crazy. Overall the slow service really ruined the experience. Note everything took forever so I was hungry hungry lol read more

Had a good time at D&B Virginia Beach! Good selection of games, some of the games were a bit wonky and would just not work even after scanning but overall it was a good time! Love going on a Sunday or Wednesday for Half Price Games, always able to spend a good chunk of time here which makes it worth it for a date night! read more

Typical on-brand arcade . They only have one step up mania machine and I heard online they are phasing out regular Konami ddr. Staff is friendly. Well maintained. They stick to their well known brand and it seems to sell well here. read more

Perfect spot for watching football games. Tons of TVs everywhere and plenty of space, so no matter where you sit, you've got a clear view of the action. The sports bar vibe was on point and made game day feel exciting. Food-wise, they were out of a decent amount of items, which was a little disappointing, but what I did get delivered. Ordered the bistro steak and shrimp Alfredo pasta and cleaned the plate--every single bite. Solid portions and very satisfying. After eating, we hit the arcade. It was definitely crowded, but with so many games, it was still easy to jump on the ones I wanted without too much waiting. It is a little on the pricey side, but honestly, it's worth it once in a while--especially for a fun day or night out with friends or family. Great for game days when you want food, sports, and entertainment all in one place. read more

The service is ok. If you get the Eat and Play Combo know it does not come with a drink. Food comes out separately as they make it, I guess. This is definitely not a place for eating. I think it would be more of a playing only. read more

Was in town on Labor Day. One of few places open. Learned that when even a bar establishment doesn't have prices for their drinks on the menu, beware. $30.99 for a 12 oz margarita and $26.99 for an extra shot of tequila?

Went to Dave & Buster's on a Wednesday at noon for a work gathering (holiday luncheon). We had some appetizers and game cards. Food was good, but not great. Games are pretty fun, most aimed at an older audience (not really for super young kids). It kind of reminds me of a casino inside--no windows, kind of darkly lit. They do have a full bar and menu. Game "tickets" do not go very far. I had like 2,600 tickets and there wasn't much in their shop to redeem that anyone would want. Lots of stuff you'd find at Dollar Tree....haha read more

The most horrible food service on the face of the earth!!!!!! Now, this nothing against the servers, but this is the SLOWEST kitchen i have ever seen in my life. read more

Trust the bad reviews. Wouldn't recommend. Extremely expensive, medicore food, poor service, games kept breaking and the outside was covered with trash. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at Dave & Buster's last night. To start, the bartender, "Ash," questioned my identification and immediately assumed it was fake simply because she felt I didn't look old enough. While she later explained that a coworker had been fired over an incorrect ID check, that situation had nothing to do with me and didn't justify the way I was treated. I was then made to wait about 10-15 minutes for a manager to review my ID. The manager also claimed it might be fake because he was unfamiliar with the issuing state. Instead of resolving the situation professionally, he involved on-duty police officers to verify it. After waiting an additional 20 minutes, my ID was finally confirmed as valid. To make matters worse, after all that time, my order was still incorrect. I received boneless wings instead of bone-in, and the overall service was extremely slow. It took far too long to get anyone's attention or receive assistance. This entire situation significantly cut into the time I had already paid for to play games, which made the experience even more frustrating. Overall, the service was inefficient, unprofessional, and disappointing. Unfortunately, I will not be returning. please teach your staff how to Read Identification cards , it's no reason an officer should be needed to authenticate an ID if the establishment is selling alcohol. read more

The food is surprisingly decent if you want a food break after playing few rounds of dance dance revolution with come glasses of cold beer. The games are alright, but a good decent amount of them don't really work anymore, and the prizes are not a great quality and is too pricy (costs more tickets than necessary). read more

Shkelzen was so personable and friendly! I normally don't purchase souvenir items bc I am a local but he was so friendly and the pictures turned out so good, we couldn't help but to get all of them.

We came to this location on September 21st to have a fun night out with the family. Once you walk in the staff behind the counter was friendly and inviting however, it went down hill from there. While my family was playing games I decided to head over to the bar area to order some drinks and food for when they took a break. I went to the 2 hostess which were to busy in their phones to even notice me until I started talking to them. They informed me the whole food area was open seating so I sat down on one of the back tables closest to the games and waited to be helped. After 15minutes no one came to assist me so i moved to a table closer to the bar. While doing this one of the busboys came over and cleaned the table and I informed him of what was going on he assisted me on getting me assistance and bringing me menus (he totally saved the situation and wished I had got his name). Shortly there after a waiter named Sean came by which he apologized as he was assisting a large group sitting front of me and was in the back getting their food. After dropping off their food off he came back over to me and was extremely friendly, offered suggestions on drinks, and brought the food and drinks out in zero flat! He checked on my family and I many times and was an enjoyable person and saved the night compared to whoever my first waiter was supposed to be and the disrespectful hostesses. Overall, the fried pickles, truffle fries, and drinks (waters, and nirvana) I would highly recommend. Also this location offers jelly shots that are to die for and absolutely will knock you out your chair! There were a couple of overly drunk adults that were rude and women who were walking around the space with kids with barely any clothes on however, there were several Virginia Beach Police officers near the bar that seem to monitor fairly well and seemed to be observant. Overall, for adults it is definitely a fine environment but if you have kids I would definitely suggest coming in before 7pm. read more

First time here had always planned on coming & never did. So came here for my 10 yr olds birthday today! Got here around 9:20 ish on a Sunday i love that they're open until midnight! - my 10 yr old is homeschooled so to be out on a Sunday late is doable for us The food was so good! Everything we ordered was fine nothing was wrong i did initially order fish & chips but they were out of fish no biggie will get that next time, so i got half rack of ribs slaw and fries. The prices are ok same they would be at any arcade/bar, nice crowd not packed or anything! We will be coming back. Our server Molly was amazing!! read more

Husband and I were in VA beach for the week. It was a brutal heat wave and we wanted something to do during the day after visiting the Aquarium. This Dave & Buster's is in a mall, it has its own entrance near the Macy's parking lot. The arcade was clean and appeared to be well maintained. All of the games were working. We had a couple of happy hour drinks at the bar. Our bartender was nice and made our drinks quickly. Since it was midday there weren't many people there so we roamed around, played games, and enjoyed our time inside from the sun. This Dave & Buster's looks like it would be a great place to hold birthday parties, or family functions. They have a bar/restaurant and numbered private party rooms. read more

The service was terrible from the start, we waited over 30 minutes with no assistance before having to go find someone ourselves. The food was also unacceptable. Our nachos were clearly sitting out before being served: the guacamole was completely brown, the sour cream was dried out, and the whole dish looked and tasted gross. Things got worse when we tried to redeem our prizes. One of the prizes didn't work, so we asked an employee for help, who then called the floor manager (I believe his name was Chris). He was dismissive and rude the entire time. He even tried to kick us out for being under 18 despite the fact that we had a guardian with us, making assumptions about our age before even addressing the issue. His only solution was to swap the prize for another identical one, but those didn't work either. When we explained that, he basically said there was nothing else he could do and walked away. Overall, the experience felt disrespectful, poorly managed, and not worth the time or money. I would not recommend this location. read more

Here for the Superbowl and they had the nerve to host an event that they are not prepared for. All you can eat wings ordered at 6p and even food I am paying for outside the all you can eat wings and have not gotten anything as of yet at 737p. A waste of money and time. Would not recommend or ever do it again... read more

Funny enough we happened upon Dave and busters after we got married at the courthouse because on that same day 5 years ago we met at a Dave and Busters so it was fate that one was nearby and we had to get a drink to celebrate! Food is your typical bar food, we got the platter which was basically fried everything. Mozzarella sticks had a great cheese pull! lol. The mango honey mustard was very odd - opted to just eat the food with ranch. Both pizzas were good. read more

Service is terrible. We come here strictly for the air hockey and basketball games. Game play is half off one Wednesdays. I like that you can get a digital play card within the app and a free $15 in play the first time you download. Drinks are as to be expected and its hard as heck to track down a bartender although they are just standing at the end of the bar socializing. It's honestly kinda of gross and sticky here. Sucks because I've been to other Dave and Buster's locations and had wonderful service and food. read more

Been here years ago when my kids were in town. Was back the other day after visiting (rhymes with latex) Entertainment in VB town center where in comparison the arcade games were dated. Here at Dave and Buster's there clearly is a larger following for their variety of large interactive arcade games. The entertainment isn't for kids, as there are grown up monitors showing live sports games. I sat at the bar thinking I'd get faster service - and it was! I was quite surprised that the food is good - the grilled chicken was seasoned well, the avocado slices were meaty, fresh and ripe and the fries could rival your McD's fries but less healthy for you salt! read more

We love the few occasions we make it to Dave and busters for some fun. Staff members here have always been wonderful. If ever a game is acting up they are quick to fix it and even give an extra game. There is a lot to do and see, and everything is appropriate for id say ages 5 and up. My son is 4 but definitely had about a handful of games he really understood and could handle unassisted. This place is fun, great food options, and the environment is just fun and colorful! read more

Very disappointed with the customer service at Dave & Buster's in Virginia Beach. I had an 8 o'clock reservation, but the hostess rudely informed me I'd still have to wait 45 minutes without offering any explanation or further instructions. She was brash, avoided eye contact, and even displayed attitude toward the manager when he tried to address the situation. Thankfully, the manager stepped in, apologized sincerely, and seated us right away, but the whole experience left a bad impression. The manager's professionalism saved the evening, but the initial encounter with the hostess was unacceptable. The young ladies at the ticket station were pleasant and helpful, but the hostess really put a bad start on what was supposed to be a fun family night for myself and my children. My children were like, "mom we should've went somewhere else" and they were initially excited about going for the food and games. I don't think I'll be returning to that location and sadly it's the only one in my area. read more

Dave & Busters in Virginia Beach is THE WORST! First, we had to put our table together since they couldn't figure it out. Then, it took them about 45 minutes to put the football game on the screen so we missed the first half hour. Ugh! Then, it took over 45 minutes for our waitress to take our orders. She told us that they are out of all the entrees, salads, and potstickers. Our waitress told us that they were running a Veteran's Day special on Friday and Saturday, but corporate didn't plan for it since they didn't realize that VB is such a military town. how can they not realize this??? I tried to order the buffalo wings but of course, they didn't have any buffalo sauce. I tried the Nashville Hot sauce and it was nasty and not even spicy but sweet. The water is also nasty tasting. Then, it took 38 minutes to get our food. One of us ordered nachos and it was pathetic and nasty since it only had about 5 chunks of chicken and a few pieces of corn and beans on it. We asked them not to put jalapeños on it but that doesn't mean to skimp on the chicken, corn, and beans. I can't believe the server would even bring the nachos when they looked like this. One more thing... there were about 5 staff there, but they were completely useless. No customer service whatsoever. I wouldn't eat here again. Blah! read more

My friend and I purchased tickets for the AYCE wings and Game's. Got there and sat around 5:45 waited 15mins order drinks and wings cool. Played games came back 35mins later still no drinks or wings. 20mins goes by waitresses brings soda but no water that we asked and No food. Been over a hour now with onky getting part of drink order. We ask for water again 15mins goes by she comes back no water and still no Food. After 1 hour and 45mins the Super Bowl is going into the 1nd quater at this point. Over 100 people in the section maybe at best 15 wings in the entire section. We asked speak with manger along with about 5 other upset customers. We got the buck passed around and attitude. The lady with the ask for a Manager haircut. Useless just eye rolls and hit us with the " I didn't take your money " Really?!? Is that the response you train your management whom is a Paid Representative of your company? The short guy with Andrew lunch jersey tried his best but clearly wasn't prepared for this situation and knew nothing about how to deal with anything but maybe what sauce you can get on the wings. Then taller Manager came from behind the bar with a attitude and asked us what did we want him to do give us $25 play car ?? With a attitude?? Really so You take our money and waste our Time during the Biggest Football and Live event in America ruined our time watching the game. Just ask us what do we want ?? How about proper customer service and some action to make a wrong right. By far worst experience ive had at a Dave and Buster. Management needs fuul recourse on how to deal with actions yesterday was atrocious. read more

Before I begin let me start off by saying that this review is based solely upon my personal experiences and my personal experiences alone, so with that being said let's go!. This is my first time here and I would like to say it was a good one, I enjoyed the sports on all the tv screens from the small ones to the large ones!. The bar area had a lot of seating with tv screens surrounding it as well and a great bartender who poured me my drink!. I left off two stars because: 1. Our waitress was not the best, I don't know if she was overwhelmed or was it because she was focused more on the table of guys in our seating area, but whatever the reason her service was not up to par!. It was not until we brought it to the attention of a manager that she started to show some get up about herself! At that point it was too late because we were all ready to leave at that point. I would definitely return because I enjoyed the atmosphere! But I would definitely avoid that particular waitress upon my next return. 2. I ordered boneless chicken wings and they were more horrible than I thought, they were over breaded with next to none white chicken meat!!.. My next visit will probably be just cold beer and top shelf liquor!!.. read more

I don't usually eat here, as the food isn't my favorite and I can get more bang for my buck in the food court in the mall. Usually come once or twice a month, but I've recently noticed they've increased the prices of the games and it seems like a ridiculous amount of money to play some of these. Especially if it's not on one of the half off days. The prize center is typically empty and if there are items stocked, it never changes. I moved here a year ago, went to D&B on the west coast often (for food and games), but this is the worst location I've experienced. Might need to travel to a farther location if I want to spend these tickets. read more

We don't come often, but the last few times we have been here, we see Chyna. She's always super busy, but friendly and efficient. Kept the refills coming. Barbacoa fries, fish and chips, and mozzarella stack were all delicious. There were a lot of games not working when we were there. Connect 4, skeeball and bowling, an elevator shooting game, and a couple others. Luckily there are a lot of other games to play. It's expensive but we had fun with what we had available to us. Good ambiance. read more

This review is for the Dining Divas Drag Brunch (although we do bring our toddler to D&B regularly)! This was my first experience with drag brunches (or shows in general) and have had an absolute blast each time! The queens are funny, the DJ is amazing, and the food has always been good. Both times I've gone to the show with my 70 years old aunts and they have just as much fun (if not more)! read more

VERY DISAPPOINTED! Customer Service was terrible! There was a bug crawling in the dining area. The server totally ignored me & waitress stated she doesn't do bugs.

The food was half ass. The ambiance was very gloomy seems like the staff was just trying to get their shift done. The service was ok but could also be way better. Also there was a weird smell I don't know what it could be but definitely not pleasant.
