Dave and Busters

I know there is a thread under Development but now that is officially open, thought it would be nice to start its own thread.

Officially opened up on Mon, Jan 12th.  They had a friends and family night last Fri which consisted of a 10 dollar game card, free appetizer, entree, desserts and drink (alcohol not included).  

The appetizer (mozzarella sticks) were IMO very good.  Hot and fresh with plenty of sauce.  The entree (half rack of ribs with loaded mashed potatoes) was great.  Once again, it came out hot, and the serving was more then accomodating.  For dessert, (since it was free) we ordered a mug that was full of vanilla ice cream, with chocolate sauce and part of a chocolate chip cookie in it.  

EDIT:  The menu is quite large ranging from salads to burgers and everything in between.  They have chicken, steak and seafood entrees.  I can see it as a nice place to take a date, have a couple of drinks, play some games, and have a nice meal.

As for prices...they are in line with other restaurants around town.  Appetizers ranged from 5.79-10 dollars.  The half rack of ribs was 12.50 with a full rack with 2 sides for 18.89.  The dessert was 5.59 with prices ranging from 5.59-10.50.

They have happy hour M-F from 4-7pm and Sun 9pm-11pm.  half price domestic draws.  (22oz for 3 dollars).

Wed nights are half price game nights.  They also have Eat and Play combos which consist of certin entrees and a 10 dollar game card for 15.99 or a 20 dollar game card for 26.99.  

They have a huge bar area that is in the shape of a rectangle with seating on both sides and roughly 10 or so plasma or LCD TV's.  Look to be in the 42"-46" range.  

The games were fun.  A good way to pass time if you are waiting to eat.  They have lots of games to choose from however they do not have any pool tables.  The reason for this is.....the location isn't big enough.  Speaking to the GM there, he said the reason for it was this is one of the smallest locations they have ever built and the smallest city they have ever built in.  He said it was more or less a trial for them to see if they can compete in a market of this size.


If I had to rate it on a scale from 1-10 with 10 being the highest, I would give them a 8.5.  Service was good, food was great and the atmosphere was unique.

Good to hear! We have a small group planning to meet for dinner there next week.

I signed up for their rewards club or whatever they called it and they emailed me a $10 game card voucher. It's on their website.

Thanks for the review!!

they have a banquest or party room, whichever you want to call it.  They refer to it as the board room and I believe you have your own dedicated server and waitstaff.  hope it goes well!!

My wife and I drove by there this last weekend. They say it is their smallest building, but it does not look all that small to us. Nice design.

Compared to the D&Bs in Dallas, Denver and Boulder (Louisville), this thing is really tiny. Thanks for the info that they were using this to test in smaller markets. Makes sense to me, but I'll miss the huge rooms full of pool tables and large VR-game installations. The original D&Bs are closer in size to Incredible Pizza. Regardless, I'm pleased a more "adult" entertainment restaurant has been opened. I'll have to check it out this weekend.

I'm excited to try it out. Thanks for the review.

you are exactly right.  I remember going to one (I believe in Denver) where they had a floor dedicated to nothing but pool tables.  It is not in line with other D&B's but once you get inside, it is quite large if you have never been to one.

I'll have to agree... it's small but loads of fun.  Most of the food is good... the chips & queso are merely average, go for the fried ravioli or edamame instead for appetizers.  My group traded bites and I can vouch for the pesto chicken pasta and philly cheesesteak being fantastic.  The key lime pie and banana foster pie are aces too.  

Oh, the GM mentioned to me that Tulsa's D&B will be one of the first in the country to get a Guitar Hero arcade game in a few weeks, if you're into that.

Now, I wonder how long it'll take me to earn enough tickets to get that PS3 in the redemption center.  It's only 98,000 tickets...

I played the trivia game which consists of upto 6 players who answer 5 questions.  The person who gets the most questions right in the shortest amount of time wins.  Maximum amount to win is 60 tickets, and for each addtl player, there is a 10 ticket bonus.  I won 810 tickets on this machine alone on 8 dollars! And if you can consistently win on half price wednesday, who knows, it might only cost you 700 dollars to win that 400 dollar PS3!

The beer was over priced.

My opinion was it didn't fit the adult gaming theme I was told to expect.

When I was ready to do something else I stepped outside...I looked around...since I didn't feel like shopping for furniture I went to my car and left.

The staff was very friendly.

Not my thing so I'll never go back.

and I suppose you don't shop for electronics, books, or clothing either.....save that bull**** for your smug clique back home.  if you really wanted to do something else it was all within walking distance.

What book store is near d&b? (and that area isn't exactly very pedestrian oriented, not that it's impossible to walk around there, though)

I guess he's thinking of Lifeway Christian Bookstore, though I wouldn't classify it as such.

I removed the first line from my previous post that said "Not that I want to sound like Inteller:"

It was after 9PM Southie.  Like many places in town there was nothing to do but get in my car and leave.  

I ended up going farther South to try more of your area.  

Louie's was great...always is.  Played shuffleboard and had some drinks.

After that I went to Roosters.  I'll pass on that one in the future.
