Customer ReviewsforDave & Buster's

Its absolutely sad how this restaurant has gone so downhill. We visited this establishment frequently. We knew everyone. Due to my daughters sports practice unfortunately we could not go as much but decided to take a trip for our anniversary. Typically the front desk was amazing!! Would tell us what the best deals for our money was and would always try and help as much as possible. I handed the gentleman 8 bands to see which were able to add tickets to. 4 were active out of the 8 but we decided to just go with the ones we had on our app and switch them over and add credits. We paid close to 70 on one wrist band and close to 60 on the other which gave us close to 800. When we went back to refill there was no one at the desk so I had time to stand there and read all the offers. Come to find out there was a deal for you buy 4 cards you get it at 42 total and would get 1200 credits. Great! Usually a manager would charge me the difference and add the remaining credits some how. I asked the manager **** when he came up he said there was nothing he could do and I would have to call corporate. I ended up spending over 200 dollars in credits that night. Okay. I call corporate the next business day speak with ****** she gives me 2 options 1 the credits or she could call the store and have them issue a refund. I ask for the refund. She advises she would call me back in a short while to make sure they were done. I did not get a call so decided to call the store manager ******* he states he hasn't heard of anything and will do research call me back. I get a call back saying he could not do anything it would be corporate. Here I go calling ****** back and she says "she hates when they advise custs of that and would take care of it" I get a call today from another manager at the store that says he spoke to corporate and they wanted him to call me I ask for what he states he can't issue anything since I didn't do it that day. What!? What is corporate good for?

I met up with family there on Nov 24th . We all had separate bills. My bill was $115.68 . I gave a tip of $20 cash and paid the bill with my debit card. I was charged $140.00 when it went to my bank. I then called **** and busters about it. After 3 days I got my money returned of the difference. I also notified all my family and the same thing happened to them . They should be investigated and the server be fired. I wonder how many more people this has happened and them not know it. It was horrifying and I will never go there again. Honestly they should refund a whole lot more because of what happened to all of us. I love 2 hours away and some family lives 13 hours away. None of us will go back.

On Thursday August 24, 2023 I decided to go to ************** in ****************** Mall in ******* **, ALONE. In order to play a game of pool at this location you must leave your drivers license with an attendant at the service desk and in return they give you a rack of ***** for the table which I did Around 7p.m. After two hours, I returned the rack of ***** to the service desk at 9p.m. Only to be told that MY LICENSE WAS GONE. I was told that it was given to another individual by the attendant. Outraged by this situation, I asked to speak to a manager. I was then introduced to a woman who I was told was an assistant manager. After I explained the situation to her and that I was ALONE she proceeded to tell me and I quote that its nobodys fault and things like this just happen. I then inquired about checking the security cameras to make sure it wasnt a deliberate act and I was told and I quote just get over it because there is nothing we can do I was then told the best they could do was call me if my license was returned. I went back to the same location the next morning 8/25/23 around 11a.m. To speak to a manager about the situation and she approached the conversation with the same dismissive attitude and disregard as I received the previous night. This manager stated to me that when a group of individuals come in its common practice to return the license to whom ever is paying for the time and not to the individual who it belongs to. And again I advised that I was ALONE and I requested she check the security cameras at which she stated there was nothing that could be done. At this time it has been 4 days and no one has contacted me in regards to this situation. It is outrageous to think in this day and time with identity theft being so prevalent, that a situation of this nature would be so easily dismissed by a corporation of ************** size. A corporation that me and my family USED TO hold in such high regard.If I could leave less than one star I would.

Dave & Busters takes pride in providing our Guests with great fun, excellent food, and legendary service.In response to ****************** concerns, I communicated the dispute totheGeneral Manager. Rest assured, we took ****************** concerns seriously andthey have been addressed with the staff and management team appropriately.

Worse service Ive ever received from the kitchen. I ordered three separate shareable items only to receive half of the first shareable item 45 minutes later. I finally gave up after waiting an hour for the rest of my food and asked for the check. Can you believe they bought me a check with everything I ordered although I did not receive 20 % of my order? After asking for a manager only to be told theres a glitch in the system and that he will not charge me for the shareable we ate although it was missing the fries, celery, carrots, and dressing. Ohhhh ok thank you I guess. Lol heres a copy of my receipt and I honestly dont blame the waitress for still wanting a 20% tip.note that I obliged. However, thank you **** and ****** for making me wait an hour for my food only to go home at 12:10am to make some food since I allowed the children to eat what little food we received and it wasnt enough heck I wasnt able to eat anything. Maybe next time Ill eat before coming or go to another Dave & Busters altogether

If you would be so kind as to forward a screenshot of the receipt from your purchase to the following email : **************************************** we will investigate the matter further in the hope of achieving an amicable resolution that meets your satisfaction.

Extremely racist and discriminatory practices. They deliberately mistreat customers of color. I went to the ************ location prior to covid in December 28 of ********************************************************************************************************************************** line. When I complained about it the manager (caucasian male) refused to assist me and then told me I had to leave. when I demanded they serve me, apologize and refund me for the D&B card I loaded with money; the white manager refused and called the emergency services unit police on me. I left the premises on my own and I told the police what happened and the police on the scene actually defended me (I committed no crime and made no physical or verbal threats to be clear). I followed up by complaining to corporate who refused to provide me with a refund and tried to gaslight the whole situation. I want justice. I would leave negative 5 stars if I could as a review.

********* ** location. It was last night when me and my girlfriend were attacked by a group of unattended kids. Not a single person help us out including any staff members or security guards. After we got attacked the staff members themself then threw ** both out after she got pepper sprayed in the face by these young kids. This is supposed to be a family place where anyone should be able to come and just have fun. The officers and the staff members did nothing for **. We will be filling every complaint and charge you can possibly think of. I do not recommend coming here ever especially in the horrible world we live in now someone could have been hurt more then we already did or even got killed. This is not how you handle situations like this the staff there are just as bad as the kids that did this to us.

On October 1st my family and I went to **** and busters after a haunted house tour for my birthday which was the worse experience once again. We had reservations for 12 people we arrived at 10:30 pm and the restaurant did not close til 2 am. We were seating and waited 20 mins and still no server so one of the adults went to the bar to get a drink and brought it back to the table the kids went to play and the rest of the adults stayed at the table to wait for a server. The children came back and still almost a hour went bye and still no server. Mind you the place was about empty. Finally one of the adults asked one of the servers who was going to serve us because no one has. Thats when the server told us the kitchen was closed. So one of the adults asked for the manager and we were told that we were given false information the reason why no one came to our table was because none of the servers wanted to serve our table. Mind you we are a black family we watched several people get served and servers just kept walking past us like we were disgusting to them. Finally the manager name ***** approached and said he did not want no problems that one of the adults sitting at the table looked scary to him which we were confused as to why he said such things. When he only spoke to one adult no one at our table was rude or yelling or aggressive. So the manager said we can order anything we wanted he would pay for it. We paid for the drinks. After we tipped the waitress who served ** by the way was very awesome she kept apologizing for **** and busters behavior. So my family said we will never come back to this racist restaurant again.

They are racist and hire rude servers and seating host. Rude to kids and customers they need to close down or fire all the horrible employees. I don't recommend the Portland Oregon ************ location to anyone. The kicked out our family Asian family and another black guy for no reason after we paid for our drinks. They say tables are only for customers on wait list when the another host told us it was fine to sit at the table. The **** bar area was not even full there was 8-10 table open with no one. The host was a white female and was so rude and a racist to the customers.
