Horrible service, Awful food, and broken games!

by jj1983

From my experience the service was awful. It took 5 mins just to be greeted by someone. Even worse I had about 5 different servers pass me. Anyways when I finally did get greeted and got my drink I found a fruit fly in it. They took forever to bring me a replacement drink. I didn't even have a manager come by to smooth things over. The food was way below my expectations and trust me my expectations were quite low considering the kind of food they have. Now I consider this place a rip off version of boomers only here all the games are broken and it is way more overpriced! They have the worst system of getting a game attendant you flip on this light switch and just hope one of them notices and comes over to help you. Well if anyone has ever been in a Dave and busters they could imagine how hard it must be for these poor attendants to notice something like this. The game room is way too big to have someone notice a game is broken by a little red light bulb. Plus they have a tricky way of getting you to spend a lot more money on the games without noticing. See most places you put quarters or change in but, at Dave and Busters they charge you 5 dollars just for an empty card then you must put money on the card. Now here is where they really trick you since you are playing with a card and not inserting money each time you play a game you don't realize how much you are really spending. The average game there is about 2 dollars some are more and only the really crappy games are less. If I had to sum this restaurant up I would say that Dave and Busters in Irvine is overpriced, unsanitary, has awful service, and is definitely not worth your time or money.

• Pros: The atmosphere is nice the place is beautifully decorated but looks is about all it has.
• Cons: Crowded, bad service, terrible food and drinks, overpriced, and broken games.

happy hour and arcades

by juju13es

Dave and Buster's is the adult version of Chuck E. Cheese... WE can embrace our inner child by playing Resident Evil or shooting hoops to score tickets for a grand prize! My grand prize, last time I went, was this adorable mini water filter thingy- it took me many rounds of games to get there. Adults and kids can play together until 10pm, when people have to start showing their ID's. Though I never really ate a meal there, I take full advantage of their $5 cocktails during happy hour.
