Editorial Review for Dave & Buster's – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
This massive entertainment complex lures customers in with its arcade, then keeps them there by way of a spacious eatery serving pizza, pasta, burgers and finger food. Classic games like billiards, skeeball and shuffleboard are balanced by electronic counterpoints such as Ms. Pac-Man, Centipede and virtual-reality simulators that re-create an 18-wheeler ride or a Star Trek voyage. Of the two full bars, one comes with a 20-screen videodome designed for armchair quarterbacks.

User Reviews for Dave & Buster's

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

I will give every establishment at least 2 tries. Sometimes the first time is just a bad day but if something happens again there is a problem that needs fixing. While I will admit the burgers are good tasting if a bit dry, the staff and management could not be more rude. It is a game room and there are few kids . There is an advertisement explaining "this is am adult establishment" they don't even want kids in there. If I am going to be around a lot of noisy arcade games I will take the kids to Chuckie Cheese's. As far as the atmosphere of the restaurant that was a comfortable lunch place. I do not care for the place myself.

Pros: something to do in Rhode Island beside clubs and gambling

Cons: too expensive and noisy, staff not very nice

Eat there often with my family.Great fun for the entire family.My kids win tickets for prizes and my wife plays the crane machines and wins prizes,while I sit at the bar watching one of the many 30 tvs that they have.Great menu:Steaks,Salads,Pasta and Sandwiches and Appitizers.Great looking and tasting desserts.Try the Fondue cheese fries and the Sauteed Talapia and make room for the choclate fondue or Barvarian Berry Cream Cake.

Pros: Great Place, Open late, Shopping

Cons: Mall Parking?

Editor's Review

Super-sized party multiplex for casual diners and serious drinkers who like a joystick with their drumsticks and swizzle sticks.  See the full editorial review.
