Yea, I keep going back. And on Wednesday's. The place isn't nearly as crowded, and has the half off games, I love it! I even figured out a few games to win gobs of tickets, so maybe one day, I can get a new video game system. This place is clean, the bartenders are great (at least to me, always quick to keep the drinks filled), and the new games are always fun to check out. This place is one stop shop for adults, check it out! I could write for days about this place, but hopefully my low quality pics will tell the tale(s)...

Another Dave & Buster's, off we go. I have been to this one a few times. My recent experience here on 8/8/2015 was pretty decent. As far as service, this particular D&B was really good! We found ourselves a seat, and a manager actually came to take care of our drinks. That was very nice of him. Now after we got our drinks, a lady came to take care of my food. It was a Saturday and not horribly packed. I went for the "eat & play combo" with a $20 game card and got me some 'goldfingers' (chicken strips). These were pretty plump and juicy, and the honey mustard was very good. Definitely go for the eat & play combo if you are on a budget, especially on Wednesdays if you wanna play games!! Now, let's go on to the Midway--the arcade games. Typical D&B fare per usual. New games come in every season. However, a lot of the old Sega games that have LCD monitors inside them have smudges across the screen. Some shooting games like 'The House of the Dead 2' for instance, had a gun not working as well. What I like about Dave & Buster's arcades now, is that they went green with tickets and game cards. You now push your card into a slot to play a game, and tickets actually go on your card. I have a pizza place & arcade near me that runs their games that way. However, be careful. Spend your money wisely when you play these games. If that's your concern, then I would suggest coming here on Wednesdays for half-price games! So yeah, Dave & Buster's in Duluth is not a bad location at all. It's quite spacious and there's a good amount of games, but if you're shopping at Sugarloaf Mills, you might want to consider that D&B as well.

Well let me start by saying it smells divine! When you first walk in this establishment. I'm a regular here. Great selections of games, food, and drinks! They just recently added alot of new games. Definitely a family friendly establishment, but also cute to go on fun outing with friends on a Friday night, or a cute date night on Saturday. Games - I'm a beast at basketball here (just incase anyone is reading this lol). So if you see me you will already know what time it is. The Beer Pong games is so creative too! Never seen it in arcade form. The Power Card is rechargeable too. So that's a plus. Food- It's a descent price for what it's worth. Plenty of selections to choose from no matter what you might be craving. I most recently ordered the Buster's Cheeseburger and added bacon for .99 with a side a fries and topped it off with a double shot of Tequila. My girlfriend however ordered Fish n' Chips. Substituted the chips for fries. I give the food a thumbs up. Plus our server informed us if we fill out a survey we could receive a free $10 Power Card with 60 tokens available. Which we did and what do you know! Plus we're still eligible for more free games/food.

So I came here last night to play Ms. Pac-man, but ended up staying at the bar and eating and drinking too late. The place is massive, with lots of games and pool tables. I had a Cosmopolitan martini and it was strong. They really do a nice job on their drinks. Also, I had soft pretzel bites, which were warm and soft and yummy! They came with 3 different sauces, spicy mustard, honey mustard, and cheese sauce. For dinner, I had the smoky BBQ chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli. That was also really good! I was surprised their food was as good as it was...was expecting typical mediocre bar food. Oh, and I and the apple and pecan salad with raspberry dressing. Delicious!!!

This building where D&B has resided for a long, long time, used to be of electronics giant Incredible Universe. This was like 15+ years ago. Now it's a PGA Superstore and D&B. This location is worse than the one at Discover (now Sugarloaf) Mills and due to the relatively close proximity of both, I'm not quite sure why this one is still open. However, it serves it's purpose. On Wednesdays, they have 1/2 off games... otherwise, probably not worth it unless you have a lot of money to just put into the machines. On this particular occasion, we went during Power Hour - 1 hour for $10 for unlimited non-ticketed games. There's a 1 minute "rest period" between swipes, but if you have a few friends and a couple of cards, this is a cheap way to have some fun and pass time, especially late night when nothing else is open. I personally enjoyed some Guitar Hero and other random games. D&B is dead on weeknights, obviously, but probably more crowded on weekends, if nothing has changed since the last time I went on a weekend. It's also way, way too dark inside and the lighting is somewhat depressing. I still prefer the cleaner, newer, much more lively Sugarloaf location.

We went here for my cousin Sweet 16 party and I been to the location in Marietta , but probably haven't been to a D&B in ten plus years. This was my first time at this location. The plan was to arrive before 5pm so we could do the Eat and Play Combo but we had to wait til 7 for everyone to arrive so we had to buy the play cards individually from our meal. We were going to go with one of their party rooms, but the price for that was quoted at anywhere from $70-$100 per hour for just the room and did not include food or games, and my original plan was not to spend $70, so we all decided on a time to arrive and and got a table that sat our entire party just away from the bar. I was pleased that we got a table outside the game room cause as I walked around in there, there was too much activity for us to have enjoyed food and family. We had a party of 11, and of that 11, only 4 or 5 planned to play games. At the end of the evening, my tab for my mother, daughter and myself came up to $148 for 4 cocktails and three entrees. Not to mention another bar tab of $40 we created while we were waiting to the other guest to arrive and as a treat to the birthday girl I bought the 4 pack of play cards for $106. 3 of the six cocktails we had were the D&B TNT which is their version of the Long Island Ice Tea which comes in a souvenir glass you get to keep. After seeing our tab, I realized why I haven't been to D&B in years, cause there are many other ways I'd rather spend almost $300 not including the tip. I can't think of anything that was memorable about the food, I had the fish and chips and found them to be soggy and left more than half on the plate. Mom had the ribs and said they were salty and my daughter went with one of the pasta dishes, but had no complaints about it. About a week after being here, I was going over the receipt and called the restaurant and spoke with Nick and explained that the waitress had charged me for a meal that I hadn't order and a $2 game card activation fee for an additional card that I hadn't purchased and within a day, he called back and advised that he was refunding $17 back to my card. Overall, I was pleased with the service we received and our family enjoyed our evening, but the cost adds up fast, so I recommend doing either their power hour, which allows you to play an hour worth of games for $10 or getting there before 5pm so you can take part of the Eat and Play Combos.

"If your reviews are looking like essays, start a blog. I can't read your life story on my phone before ordering from the menu." [Time & Date of visit]: Sunday 3/22/15 around 4pm [Party Size]: 8+ [Location/Ambiance]: The bar area in the front, adjacent to the pool tables isn't as noisy as expected. Though that might differ when there's a big game on the tube. Careful of the table that is centered around the brick wall across from the bar. There's no warning sign that the floor is raised one side. [Service]: Our server was decently attentive. I'm not sure if he was managing the rest of the bar area, but drink refills were pretty good. [Food Highlights]: Most of the foods that my family members ordered were pretty salty, such as the grilled salmon and pasta. Though the fish was cooked very well and still juicy, it's like they got over zealous with the salt mill. Shrimp Alfredo - I'm surprised how this dish tasted. Maybe the kitchen got the clue to hold back on the salt, but this one is actually pretty good. Though the shrimp is grilled a little over, the alfredo sauce isn't salty or overpowering. Accompanied by diced tomatoes and whole white mushrooms. With a generous portion of pasta. Quite filling. {Summary}: Don't expect to get your taste buds hit with a flavor bomb with the entrees served here. Do expect foods similar to Applebee's. It's not bad for what kind of place this is. But if you are craving something with better consistency, dine else where before gaming.

Had a silly good time at Dave & Busters (surprisingly) with the boyfriend late on a Sunday afternoon. We decided to drop in super spur of the moment after a very uninspiring brunch at Hobnob. Paid $12 for 63 chips and then headed to the bar to grab a couple of their enormous beers. The bartender was personable without being overly obnoxious like some bartenders tend to be. Played a bunch of games with our chips and gave the tickets won as a result to a child that decided to play basketball with us. We sort of felt like kids again but, mostly, loved the laid back feel of the place. Really enjoyed that although it full, it wasn't teeming with screaming children like the one in Miami always is (Dolphin Mall location).

Who knew, Dave & Buster was opened on Thanksgiving Day. I believe there are 3 locations in Georgia. Lawrence ville is too far for me. Marietta has happy hour (1/2 off drinks) on certain nights. The Duluth location is my all all time favorite. It is a lot bigger with newer games. I use to go so much that i earned a Rewards Gold card. It took 1/2 off of all games but they got rid of it recently. It's more expensive then what i remembered. I recommend subscribing to D&B for good deals/promotions.

Went here last last Saturday night and had a blast with a date! I felt like a big kid again. The game area was pretty big, but it wasn't super wowing. Even the date confirmed this. But, they do have spacious dining areas with pool tables and other entertainment elsewhere. There was def plenty of bars for drink ordering throughout the place. So it was interesting to learn about how Dave & Buster's gaming world works. So you load your card up, swipe, play, then go. Interesting. I guess I'm used to the coin version of Chuck E Cheese. Lol. Yeah. You can tell I don't go to these places much. You accumulate tickets then take it to the central redemption station to have the tickets weighed. Take the printout they gave you that has the number of tickets you earned and enter the prize area for redemption. :) Parking was plentiful since this area was huge and at a dead end area. There was a police car stationed in the parking as I arrived, and he was still there as I left hours later. That's definitely a plus. But the parking lot was well lit too so that's not a discerning point.

I came here when I was younger many years ago and I loved this place. Years later my hubby wanted to do something different for date night so we decided Dave and Buster's would be interesting. This place looks the same still clean, bright and a good cross between an adult Chuck E. Cheese. The food was good and hot nothing special just bar food. The service was friendly and the servers were patient. The drinks were great and next time I'll skip the meal and just come for the drinks! Very strong. The only reason I'm taking stars off is because the chairs and booths were dirty and I sat on 2 old french fries in the booth....Yucky! Another reason for less stars, it would be nice to get some updated games, some of the games there were very old and have been there since the opening (in the 90s). Other than that I still love this place and encourage others to come or go to a newer location.

The games are a lot of fun, and I highly recommend going on Wednesday during half-price games. The food isn't worth the price, so I wouldn't eat there again. I ordered nachos and they were just really thin chips, with some nasty Hormel-type chili on top. 10.99?! Too much for that. The drinks are usually good, I don't know if they're training now but yikes! Every drink was just pure alcohol. My husband sent a few back to try other drinks but they were all bad. It's hit or miss here.

The game room is the best part of this place. The equipment is maintained well so there aren't many times you run into something broken. They could use more support staff on the floor, though, particularly on weekends. I would really like to see more classic arcade games. There are LOT of first-person shooter games which seems like overkill (pun intended). More of the Carbon driving game stations would be nice, too. The restaurant is consistently lousy. The food is decent but overpriced, and the service is deplorable. Don't expect much of this area because the root of the problem lies at the management level. If your server returns at all after taking your order then you got one of the better ones. The cocktails are weak so beer may be your best bet at the bar. Expect high prices for the drinks, too. Free refills on sodas. Excellent selections. If D&B wants to round out this location then they need to get their act together on the food side of things and hire restaurant professionals rather than people that worked concessions at Six Flags over the summer.

Came in to spend an evening goofing off and playing games. Many of the arcade games and ticketed games were broken, but we had a decent time. Good selection of drinks at the bar in the game room and friendly service. I'd go back to kill a few hours for fun.

Been coming here for 15 years. Always amazed their bartenders lack the most basic customer service. Guaranteed to sit at bar 5-8 minutes before they even acknowledge you or greet you. Definitely will be 10 minutes before you get a menu or asked for drink order. Yes it's a Saturday evening in the game room bar but I've been at loud massively crowded dance clubs where the bartenders atleast know basic etiquette.

Went with a group and several issues occurred. Orders were late and some completely forgotten. Ladies restroom wasn't clean to the point you had to question if you really wanted\needed to use it. I could tell it was a busy night, which was the standard staff excuse for each issue, but I think the chain is large enough where staffing plans could have been better based on past experience. I still enjoyed the evening with my friends regardless of the issues. I guess that's what D&B relies on rather than staffing and customer service. You get what you put in.

We stopped in on our way back from vacation. We were the only people dining in the entire restaurant area. It took forever to get a waitress. When she did arrive she was not the friendliest of people. We then decided to play some games so we ordered the meal deals where u can get gaming cards. The prices of the games are ridiculous! It took 7 credits to play a ten second game! Too overpriced and food was ok.

Drinks are good...probably a little bit too much alcohol added in. Beers are perfect. Since adding in new games, this place has picked up a bit more. Really busy on a Saturday or Friday night with kids, teenagers, and adults. Be prepared to wait on games. Some machines cheat you out on tickets...like skee ball and the other skee fast ball game. Some workers are a little rude...me and my boyfriend were in the ticket shop. Whilst I was looking a cup to observe before turning in tickets, a worker kind of shove and said "excused me" really rude like. If you hate your job, then quit. Simple as that, more people could use your job. But anyways, D & B is on average for the Duluth area. Need more lights for the parking lot though. Not too great, but not too shabby.

Decided to go early to D&B from reading early reviews. Most machines are broke. Employees don't care and don't offer to help customers who may be struggling. Their seem to be a ton of employees here just collecting a paycheck. I was a first time D&B customer today, and definitely didn't have a great taste in my mouth with this being my first experience.

Kofo S.
Great Drinks and bartenders! My faves are the Sno Cone and the Jolly Rancher Shots. D&B gets very busy Fri and Sat nights, so head over to the bar while you wait on games. Tables fill up very quickly for reserved parties so be sure to call ahead. As many Yelpers mentioned there are tons of kids and teens running around but from what I have experienced, they rarely get in the way of my good time.

Lisa S.
AWFUL!! Thought this would be a great family place to spend some time with my kids "playing games". This place is like Vegas for kids. It's not about games- just feeding tons of tokens into machines to win tickets. Money sucker!!! Spent $50 on a card (similar to a credit card so kids have NO IDEA how much they are spending) my kids ended up with about $5 worth of candy and crap that could have been purchased at the local dollar store. ( it lasted about 20 minutes) Amazed at how many people were wasting so much money on NOTHING! . Save your money and spend quality time with your kids. Go play putt-putt or something where you can interact as a family.

We went there Sunday night and were greeted by a friendly informative young man at the counter. He was excellent with Customer Service!! We were quickly seated for dinner an had the Best Server I think in Atlanta! I do not remember the young man's name but I sought out the Manager to express my true appreciation of this man's Customer Service! What a AAA+++ Personality! My Godson and I had a blast playing the various games. HOWEVER.................... They have games with the God Awful Tickets! I spent $50.00 and he traded his tickets in for $1.50 of crap candy!! Nevertheless, we will be back!

Hey no other place better for kids than this place. The biggest arcade in the world as far as I'm concerned. Kids had a great time. I think a little spendy for an arcade but can't beat the huge game room. Plus the parents can hang out and drink some beers and order snacks while the kids play. Very loud and good to go on weekdays as they have specials. I will definitely go back. The food is okay. Good snack food.

My family and I went on Sunday for the first time we got $20 game cards for each of my 4 kids had dinner the food was good. The waiter Kathleen dropped sauce it splattered all over the floor and nobody came to clean it (not a huge deal) the problem was that when we went to play we checked the game cards and the amount was wrong. We went to talk to Kathleen about it and she was RUDE she implied that we where lying I have never been treated so bad. After we called the manager she still kept on going with her comments until the manager told her to shut up. It ruined the whole experience. We spent 170.00 and got treated like crap. Check your cards before you play if you go there!!!

So this review is a little bit two sided, what I mean by that is three stars is how I feel about this place overall, I would actually give it a 2 if I wrote this review couple days ago. If you have never been here before, it's a giant arcade for kids and adults with addition of a lot more. Place has shuffleboard, billards, full bar, resturant and the like. There's a lot to do here so expect to drop some cash. If you think you're gonna just come in here with $30 bucks in your pocket for 2 kids, don't even think about it. What I did like about this place, it's smoke free, and offer a wide variety of things to do here. I like to just stop by after work and grab a drink and play some pool. Not many places offer pool tablets without smoking, so I'll pay the higher price for it. These are pretty nice tables also, not some run down ones, but their cues can have some work on, many warped, tip-less cues sitting around. If you play the arcade, you'll have to put money onto a play card (think of it like a debit card) and use that card to play games. Any tickets racked up can be changed for prizes or but put onto that card to be saved for a later date. Alots of toys attracting attention of kids but man, are they a big rip-off in my opinion. But then again, it's how they get you. At the pool table, I had a waitress that came around often to make sure I was ok. Friend ordered a plate of nahcos, HUGE portions. Can easily feed 2-3 people. But my biggest gripe about this place is the person at the front counter checking in and out. Since they are the last person I have to interact with, it leaves a big impression on how I feel about the place overall. Had a check for $20 and I just wanted to be split between myself and a friend, I've never heard of an instance where you couldn't do that in a retail setting. She stood there and waved my card around and mumbled about how she forgot how to do it. No inclanation on getting someone to help her, just stood there staring at her screen and saying how she forgot. After waiting for 5 minutes of her just fumbling around, i'm fed up and hence why I'll give it a three. I can't fault the entire staff for doing their job but this chick seriously needs to get her shit together. Call the manager to get it done or even another person who could. Don't waste my time with your crap. My rant is over.

Went on Wednesday because it was half off to play which was worth the trip. It was Spring break so it was extremely busy but still pretty orderly. My issue started with a staff person who was walking around when a patron needed help he snapped " I'm not working!". Howvwer h still had on the same dirty work clothes and was walking around the place- just go home or at least change out of your uniform if you don't want ppl to ask questions. Why was he mad?? Second the servers. I did not mind waiting for a table bc I came during Spring break. The issue was after I was finally was seated no one came to help. Several servers walked by without even greeting us. After realizing no one was coming I went to the bar to place my order another server turned to my server (who was just standing around) and told him we were attempting to order from the bar. The first server saw us waiting the whole time but did not care until we went with other options. The food was and the two drinks we ordered we decent. The other complaint is regarding another server that I could not believe management allowed to remain at work. Our visit was during the middle of the day, again during spring break. This ( I will call lady) with blue hair and a club dress on. Literally you could see her behind and when she reached over to hand out food, nothing was left to imagine. I know some do not know proper workplace etiquette but that is what management is for. I do not plan to return to this establishment because clearly management is lacking.

I recently rented the private party area for the superbowl party last Sunday. I wanted to scope out the location on the preceding Friday. That's when I saw it! It was area that had been set up to represent a living room. There are leather couches, college decals on the walls, nice 50 or 60 inch tv, ottoman and hardwood tv trays. It was in a private area near the top level bar. It looks super sweet so I was shocked to hear the manager say I could rent it for 25. I asked, "You mean, $2,500?" The manager Chris replied, "No, we don't hit people over the head, it's $25 an hour." I was in disbelief and quickly reserved it for 4 hours. The Dave and Busters special events coordinator contacted me the following day and asked if I wanted banquet or regular menu items. The catch with the regular menu is that everyone must order at least $16.00 worth food. You must have 10-15 guests attend. My guests list was for 11 people and we had no trouble hitting the min for $16.00 after buying power play card combos. Jeff was our server and he quickly greeted my husband and I. We arrived 30 mins early. He atttended to each guest as they arrived and brought everyone their drinks and food at the speed of light. He was training another server and did not miss a beat. Jeff listened to each order and did not disappoint. My guests loved him. Chris the manager made sure we were all happy and that my special requests were fufilled. There was another manager (tall, drk, bald) who helped one of my friends when she threw her ring over the basketball goal while shooting. He jumped back there with no hestitaion to grab it and hand delievered her dessert. I was so IMPRESSED by the staff that day! It's like bottle service at the club and I was P. Diddy, type of day. The best part was that it didn't cost an arm and a leg like most venues in Atlanta.

My experience here was very weird. Extremely poor customer service. Stopped in here with some friends and my kids. We went to the bar for a few drinks and to watch football, the kids of course went straight to the arcade. The bartender was great. She made us pretty and flavorful drinks. We tipped her well for all of her help. We were the only people sitting on our side of the bar, the place was pretty empty, so we asked to change the channel to another game since four of the TV's around the bar area were playing the same game. The bartender did not have permissions to change the channel so she went and got the manager. He comes out and starts talking about how they have a set schedule and can't change the TVs. By this time, a group of guys were sitting close to us and they also requested that the TV be changed to the game we all wanted to see. The store manager comes back out and starts going on about how it would be utter chaos if they changed the channel. There were literally 5 people at the bar PERIOD, and all five were asking that one of 10 TVs be changed to a certain football game. We were denied. He said there was nothing he could do. We decided to move once we saw the game on a TV on the wall that you could see if you sat in the back corner of the bar area. We received ZERO service after moving. It was like we weren't even there. I ended up going to get the kids and tried to get my money back for the tokens they didn't spend since we don't have a D&B in our area, but again, nothing they can do. We hauled the hell away as fast as we could. We had had enough! Oh yeah the group of guys got up and left too. They had ordered food and commented to me that they wish they hadn't ordered anything from that place.

Emilia L.
Hadn't been to this location of D&B in a while. We wanted a change of pace from the other D&B. The restaurant portion of this location is much, much larger. In turn, I feel like the games area is quite a bit smaller. The selection of games is not quite as great as the L'ville location. Of course, we made a beeline for the arcade basketball game. One immediate thing that I noticed -- the ball tends to get stuck between the hoop and the sides of the cage. That is quite annoying. It will come loose if you manage to hit the stuck ball with a new ball, but still. That could have gone in the basket! Another thing we learned is that the card must be authorized by an employee before using it between locations. Even though they are both D&B, they are still somewhat separate entities so a card that was previously used at one location must be swiped by an employee before it can be used at another location. The BF suffered minor heartbreak because he made it to the last level of the 18-Wheeler video game and for some reason, the game started over even though he thought he had swiped his card to play that level again. Lol.

Good food, waitress do ok job. Food is a little expensive. Games are the biggest draw. It takes so many coupons and spending money to get the prizes, easier to buy them at the Wal-Mart.

Even though D&B's is known for the games, the good is really good. Tonight I'm having spinach dip as the appetizer and BBQ chicken with mashed potatoes & broccoli. Spinach dip was made just right...I prefer more spinach than cheese. BBQ chicken was mass just right. Recommend as a restaurant for a quick, well prepared meal.

I like this D&B over the other one in the Atlanta area. This D&B always seems cleaner and a little less children running around playing tag or something. The food here is always on the spot as well and they have some amazing selections that you would not suspect a entertainment/gaming center to have. I would compare D&B food to a Longhorn's Steakhouse or a better Ruby Tuesday's. One of my favorite things about D&B is the eat and play offers they have that start at $16.99. A delicious meal and a $10 gaming card. $10 doesn't normally last long since the "good" games are expensive in credits. I would recommend coming on Wednesday's since it is half price on all games. I enjoy hanging out at D&B with the family and it is always fun getting competitive in their basketball games and occasionally hitting a jackpot here and there.

D&B change their POS, your dining check will automatic add 18% tips on the total even for a small party of 3. There is a spot you can add or minus the tips. If you didn't pay attention you might end up double to tip there. It seems like the service is getting worst there. The waiter come and get our food order, when the appetizer come out we wait for ten mins by just staring at it and still didn't see the waiter bring us any utensils and plate. I walk to the manager and ask for plate and utensils, all he did is bringing three setting over and walk away. What a service , as manager cant even say sorry for the wait. When we almost 70% done with our lunch I saw the waiter pass by and ask him to go ahead to bring us the check while my kids and I still try to finish up the food on the table. Suddenly I notice the waiter took away the half plate of fries ,Not even ask we need Togo box or anything. I would not pay lunch here for $50 and get a fast food restaurant service.

I love this place but we don't go too often! You will definitely spend about $200 to have a really good time! Thankfully they offer 1/2 price Wednesdays so that helps on the price of the games! Food is good too! Fun place just too expensive like most places these days.

We dined in the main room away from the noise and commotion. I ordered the Balsamic Glazed Chicken Breast and a Cherry Berry Mojito. My husband ordered the Bar Burgers and Wings. My chicken was cooked to perfection, moist, tender, juicy, full of flavor. The grilled veggies, potatoes, and toast that came alongside were perfect. Wonderful grill marks and seasoned perfectly. The bar burgers were juicy and wings were perfectly crisp and juicy as well. My mojito was amazing! Sweet and sour with a kick. Delish! Service was also on point. Much better experience than at the other location. Being at D&B, this meal was one of the best meals we've ever had. Definitely recommend it.

There is no D&B close to where I live, so I had to visit when I went back to Atlanta. It was perfect as we went there on a Saturday night for some college football conference championship actions. There were 6 of us, so seating in the arcade area is limited for such a big group, but the staff was super helpful and secured us a booth quickly after another big party closed out their check. Our waiter was amazing and super friendly and let us get the "Eat and Play" combos even though it was way after 5pm for the special. Our food was great, and the new bistro steak and shrimp with lobster alfredo is a must try! We were able to play a lot of games with our $10 game card that came with our combo specials, so that was great. I miss D&B, always a good time =)

I called previously to see of they had bowling at the location, no one answered. I drove there with my party and they told us that they did not have bowling. The greeter (Asian female) not only answered the phone and continued to have a conversation but she also ignored us (eating). We then went to the game rooms, the tables were FILTHY with no waitress in sight! Everyone was rude and too busy to help us... The Marietta and discover mills has FAR better service!

My first trip to D&B and it was great! Only complaint is there is a lot of children running around. But there's a separate, quiet bar area with TV's if you want to avoid. Otherwise, the food was great, service is excellent and you can play in an arcade while drinking a beer. Doesn't get much better!

Starting to show some age. Was cleaning out some stuff and found a old game card from an office party about 3 years ago and thought what the heck, had to run to Duluth anyway. One can tell the high tech video games with kids nowadays is really hurting places like this. Counting my wife and I there could not have been more than 20 people in the place, even a couple employees were playing games to compensate for the boredom. Found a half dozen games that were out of service. Location was clean but rather dark and stale I wish them luck and hopefully the party business will continue. The days of the arcade seem to be heading to the rock pile.

I usually come here for their pool tables and air hockey. It's pretty crowded on weekends so I avoid that as much as possible. The staff is great here. The customer service is exceptional and I've never had a bad experience here. I appreciate that their restrooms are clean and well maintained. I haven't tried their food here but will have to check out their menu during my next visit.

Plenty of games to choose from, but don't even think about eating here on a Saturday night. Our "45 minutes to an hour" wait ended up being over an hour and a half and when we complained about this, the little rhymes with a witch hostess was rude to my wife and we had to call over the manager. Keep in mind, there were plenty of empty tables. They just didn't have enough staff to handle them or enough interest in satisfying their customers to try to make up for it. Terrible service for food you could get anywhere in town with much less hassle. Do yourself a favor, come here with a full stomach or don't come at all.

Decent spot for a corporate event. We had training here in the morning (opening early just for us). They gave us one of the pool rooms with an insert on the table. We were able to hook up the laptop to the TV so that we could view the presentation. They gave us danishes for breakfast, coffee, and plenty of water. The whole place is a little eerie in the mornings, with no one there, but the fans running and the birds chirping (for ambiance, so I was told). I will say that their soundtrack was great, since they played a ton of my favorite songs from the last 2 years. We ordered from the 8 options that gave us lunch plus a power card for $15.99. Frankly, I was disappointed in the 8 choices, since I was trying to be healthy rather than loading up on burger, chicken tenders, Philly cheese steak, or chicken and shrimp alfredo. I opted for the build your own chicken soft tacos. They turned out to be a good option, except for the tepid tortillas, which I didn't need to eat anyways. After lunch, we did the "corporate challenge" which consists of you breaking in to teams, and then competing at several of the events in the arcade while a "referee" walks you around and keeps score. At the end the team with the most points got a.... free D&B drink bottle (32oz) with crinkle straw....woot? After the challenge, we played with what was left on our power card. I'm not much of gambler, so the only crazy thing I tried was the Big Bass wheel, which reminds me of the wheel in the Price is Right. It got me 80 tickets, but it cost 9.9units on my card...so I went back to Skeeball (some of the lanes were particularly buggy, often not releasing all 9 balls) and basketball (one lane took my money but didn't start). Still had fun even though I barely won any tickets. Better than hanging out in the office all day!

Decent food and numerous televisions to watch sports. I like D&B and there is really not much more you can ask for in an adult oriented arcade. Have some drinks, watch some sports, eat then head to the arcade for some competition. I always have a great time! My only request is that they hire someone to clean the bathrooms. They are super gross. I have been to this location numerous times and it's always the same story. This complaint is valid because in comparison to the Marietta location, Gwinnett has failed major.

Watch your car at the Duluth location. Ours was broken into and a MacBook Pro, iPad, and iPod were stolen while we were inside. The manager said, "That's why I don't drive a nice car or leave anything in it." Better advice - don't park at this location! I know it isn't Dave & Buster's fault, but this seemed to be a normal occurence here - from the manager and police officer.

It feels sorta like Vegas but without the gambling. Upon entry, you'll notice a well appointed and wood paneled bar area with plenty of TV's. The pool table area that is swanky. The gaming section is updated and has at least 4-5 new games since my last visit, maybe 1 month ago. In here, you'll find kids running around, but there are a few booths and another bar with plenty of TV's to keep adults happy. This place just feels like Happy Hour all day long.

Adrianne R.
Had my daughter's Birthday here. It wasn't what I expected....The game floor wasn't that big, seemed pretty boring compared to the other D&B's that I've been to. I would not recommend having a catered Birthday party here, They charge too much for some food you can fix at home. I don't see me going back to this location anytime soon.

Adult Putt Putt is what I like to call D & B. I have actually only been to one other location, in Nashville, so I can't speak as to how this location rates compared to other locations. I will simply be reviewing it based on my experience and my thoughts on the concept in general. First, the food. You enter this odd looking building, and aren't completely sure where to go (at least if you come in the door that leads into the restaurant, not the play area.) There are various private rooms you can rent for parties, some of which appear fairly lavish. The bar in this area is pretty formal, but is relatively small. The food is standard American style Bar food, like an Applebee's or something like that. Nothing spectacular. I tend to usually get something that includes a game card for the frivolity that will be coming later in the evening. Typically, you get good service, and don't have to wait too long. Most people aren't here for the food. Things change drastically when you cross over into the game area. It can be quite chaotic here, and on the weekends they charge a cover to get in. There is a lot of fun to be had, however. If you go in all uppity and snooty, you won't enjoy yourself. Sure, it is various games and things, but it is all good natured fun. Anything you would like to try out, is available. I tend to get stuck in the corner playing Trivia, trying to win tickets off people. The Deal or No Deal game is also extremely addictive and frustrating. You convince yourself you can outsmart the random generator, and you never can. Lots of virtual things, from sports to shooting to driving to flying are all available. The bar here is also pretty spectacular, with some of the best tasting shooters I have ever had. It is quite pricey, however. This is a fun place to go on a date with a fun person, who doesn't mind letting their hair down. It is also a great place to go with a group of friends, because there is a little bit of everything for everyone, and you can stay all night.

My trip here was ridiculous. Overpriced drinks, bad service and a manager who refused to change the channel on one TV so we could watch a game at the bar. Mind you the bar has 12 TVs so it was totally confusing why he couldn't do one. He set they have a strict schedule and it would create " complete chaos" if he didn't follow the schedule of events. The only other people setting at the bar actually wanted to watch the same game as us, so when the manager was summoned back out he thought it was still me bitching, which wasn't the case I think they were just as frustrated as us. When we moved to a high top on the far end of the bar where we could see the game we wanted to not a single server ever came over to check on us, our drinks, or anything else. We were fully intending on ordering food but waited for almost 20 minutes before deciding we were not going to give them another penny. We let the kids play 20 dollars worth of games and then we left. I WILL NEVER GO BACK or suggest this place to someone unless I didn't like them.

I Think Gretchen O. is a secret shopper for Dave & Buster's because She is so formal in her review, but oh so Right On. The folks at D&B's did me a real Solid by helping me host an awesome Birthday Party that was just a lot of fun. I finally got to play some shuffleboard with my Bourbon drink on too, just a couple of old men drinkin' and shuffleboardin'. Thanks for the Best (40th) Birthday Party Ever Dave! Oh Yeah You too Buster, where would Dave be with out you man? Party on Wayne!

I really wanted to have a higher star rating for them after our visit today, but I don't. There is not much variety in their games. Several were out of order. We did like a new game we played that was on a touch screen. The prize room is too small! Staff is friendly. Fix any issues quickly. Good deals on game tickets if you register your card online.

Antonio H.
Ummmm once you been there really isn't anything else to come for except attending a party, which I was. Please help me understand why a parent would let there 14 come out of the house with a fitted mini skirt with ankle high boots to an arcade, dude yes the mom was there, *sigh* and we try to understand why kids are being snatched or molested by teachers. Not that she can't be cute but come on. Anyway games were broken and my trigger finger didn't even get a good workout.

Jamarcus T.
I love the rarely ran Dave and busters commercials where their tag line is don't forget to bring your fun. It's tough to not have a good time here with all the games at your disposal, from pool, ski-ball, arcade racers/shooters and all the bright flashing lights and noises that surround you. Most (I think every) games you plan spit out tickets that you can redeem for prizes, so don't toss them! You also have to activate a "credits" card to use the games. Just put how much money you think you'll use, swipe and you're off. It's a fun place to bring a date, have fun and see who gets bragging rights at whichever game is your flavor (although i'm annoyed they didn't have whack a mole!). I don't recommend going on a Friday, Saturday night, since it gets packed, but they stay open fairly late, well past midnight. They do have a restaurant you can try, but honestly i've never eaten here.

Darren H.
I'm torn on this place, i've been to multiple locations now & they all look like they were built 20 years ago. Even the new ones, but with that aside I've never been a big fan of there food it's ok at best. The reason to come here is mostly for the games. There have the old staples and few new one's thrown in. If you are ever strapped with some kids & have a few dollars to spend take them here & they will love you for it. I've never been a big fan of this location but if I have to go to D&B again will try the one located by Discover Mills.

Food wise, D&B is pretty mediocre. Standard Americanized greasy food that makes you plan your next day's workout before you even start eating. The beer menu is even less impressive, but they offer BlueMoon so I forgive them. However, I don't forgive their terrible prices. Talk about overpriced food. If you are hungry, skip the food, and run to the arcade. The arcade is like a big nostalgia factory. All of their arcade games are waaaaaaaaaaaaay outdated. It feels like its the 90s and arcade games were more powerful than their console counterparts. There are plenty of games to play but within an hour you'll be broke and bored. If you are feeling frugal, go on Wednesday and you get 1/2 off tickets. If you put $20 on a card you can have a great time with your friends or your SO. Or maybe both, at the same time. PS: Anyone remember when this building was Incredible Universe? Now those were some good times.

Tracy D.
The food is always good here, so I will usually go not just for the games, but to have a meal also. I usually go on a weekday afternoon to avoid big crowds, and it's a much better experience. It's clean, employees are friendly, I'm a fan!

Okay, yes I'm a Mother of 2 adults boys and, yes again, we did go to Dave & Buster's for my Mother's Day lunch. It rained profusely all day and we had originally planned to go hiking but that obviously didn't work. I do, or did, like Discover Mills a lot, they have changed so many of the stores and most have nothing but cheap stuff now, but I remembered they had a D&B so I thought, "why not go play like a kid again?", and what adult guy is going to say "no" to that? We all ate something different. I had the Bar Burgers (sliders) and they were really good! My favorite are from another restaurant but these would come in second. I liked how the pickle was on top of the burger stuck with a large toothpick and another thing I really liked is that they added a grape tomato to each one too. The fries came in a cute little fry can which made the whole plate very visually appealing. I won't get into what everyone else had but I will mention my youngest son's plate. He had the Build Your Own Chicken Tacos. There is no going wrong with this choice especially if you are hungry. The plate was huge and filled with all kinds of goodies to make the tacos including a pile of black beans. He wiped out the whole plate and about waddled away from the table. This was a very good lunch and, as the title states, thank you D&B for saving and making for a very enjoyable Mother's Day! Oh! And we did have a really good time with a lot of laughs playing the games especially air hockey! :)

Dave and Buster's is always a good time, no matter where you go in the country. It combines a bar with arcade style video games, two of my favorite things in life. There are 3 locations in the Atlanta area and I went to the one in Duluth. This one is not as big as other D&Bs i've been to, so that sucks, but the layout is still the same and it's still a great time. a $20 card will keep you occupied for a couple hours. It's a nice familiy-friendly, innocent fun night out option.

Brian M.
I sat at the bar and even though there were several bartenders they kept passing me by on what was a slow weekday night. might have been about ten people in the bar and six in the restaurant. It felt as they were too busy with their personal conversations to wait on me or to get me refills on my beverages. I finally gave up on getting my 2nd mixed drink after 20 minutes or so

Usually not a fan of Dave and Busters. Been to the one in San Jose bunch of times and thought this was going to be another ho-hum place. But...this is way better than the one in SJC. The food was better. It is not dingy and had more and newer games. It is a a decent option to head out with the family or plan a work event.

As unusual as this may sound, the food here is actually decent! Their health rating is very high - in the 90s if not 100. The bartenders are all very cool and overall, staff is generally friendly. There is something for everyone here from family types to drinking and playing pool types.

Heather S.
I had not been to this location in at least 2 years. It seems that there are less games than before but they still have a great selection of things. They added a couple of extra classic games. Before they only had Galaga and Ms. PacMan but now they have a game that plays centipede, millipede and missle command as well as one that has donkey kong and mario bros. They have a wide variety of racing games and I always like those. All in all, I had fun. My review is based completely on the arcade and nothing related to food/drink.

Phil J.
I was very happy with this Dave and Busters. My wife and I were traveling through Atlanta and stopped at D & B's in Marietta and was totally disappointed and left before we used half our credits. Since we don't live near a D and B, I decided to try one of the other places in Atlanta when we came back though. We had a much better time. Only one time did a game not work and there was an attendant that was near and helped us right away and gave us the game credits we lost. The game worked find, it just just took credits and didn't start the game. All the games worked great unlike the other D and B. When we took our tickets(1128) to buy our kids some small toy, we came up 2 tickets short. The lady gave us the last two tickets we needed. Thanks D and B's staff !!!!!!! This will be the place we stop from now on, even when it isn't on our travel path!

Near my house and always fun to play games plus it's the only david and busters around or near me. The food sucks so don't think about it but i wished they would put more games to play since it needs some new games and updating.

As far as D&Bs go, this location was pretty good. Their pool table and shuffleboard area was pretty large and well serviced. After 9pm, D&B offers a $10 all you can play for one hour pass. Downside is that you can't use it on ticket giving games. Dope!! Oh well you can still beat time crisis with your friend for cheap =) The drinks and service here was pretty good. I can see this location being excellent for parties.

Adriel H.
First off, i went on a thursday night so it was kinda quiet, and its only fun to come here in a large group. Came with 10 other people, the place was very spacious, can fit plenty of people. The waitress was below par, she seemed sleepy and out of it. The food was decent, the barebeque chicken was a ok amount of meat a tad dry, the potatoes werent bad. There were a wide variety of shooting and racing games, which was nice, however there werent many good prizes. They also had pool tables and shuffleboard Definitely come here for some fun with a large group of friends.

I love Wednesdays at D&B, all games are 1/2 off. Also, if you eat there, they have food and play combo, where you eat and get credits on your D&B card. Best of all, they have pretty good tasty food. My favorite appetizer is the Mountain Nachos. It's a big plate of tortilla chips with beef, olives, jalapenos, cheese, sour cream and beans. It is delicious!!! I love their salad with grilled chicken, sliced apples, honey glazed pecans, bleu cheese chunks with balsamic vinegar dressing. Entree I like their sirolin steak with teriyaki sauce. It's tender and sweet. Most importantly, they have the best service and their manager is awesome. He gave us discounts because our coupon didn't validate for that day. Overall, D&B is the place to have fun and eat with friends and family regardless of your age. However, I would only come on Wednesdays for 1/2 off games since regular days games are expensive.

Amrita J.
Ok so me and one of my friends decided to hit up D & B this Wednesday night, in search of something fun to do mid-week. We grabbed some dinner and then played some games. Boy was I disappointed with the dinner/service. It was a Wednesday night at like 9 pm for goodness sakes, what was the reason for such horrible service?? I mean I'd understand if it was a Friday/Saturday night, but Wednesday and that late......I expected better. We get there, and are seated, and this little boy (whos name I will not mention) comes bopping over (yes literally) to our table and asks us for our drink order, the usual...... So then we begin looking at our menu, as we both are starving at 9 pm in the evening, and are ready to order, well we're looking around, he's not to be found, a couple other people have been seated in our section and are doing the same thing looking around wondering where oh where did their hoppin' waiter go! So finally here he comes asks for our order, and rushes off.....then we're waiting as the dishes come out, and why is everyone in our section getting the wrong dishes??? Did he seriously manage to get the dishes and tables mixed up for every table he's serving?? So then they bring out our dishes FINALLY......we're ready to dig in....WITH OUR HANDS?!?! Yup that's right....no silverware was given to us.....so then we had to spend another 15 minutes just trying to flag someone down to bring us that. Horrible dining experience, the service was bad, the wait was bad, and the food was just "okay"........ The plus 1 star is for the fun we had after that. They have this power hour deal after 9 pm where for $10 you can get a card and play unlimited video games for an hour. It was a cool deal for us that night since we weren't going to be there all night......(otherwise the $15.99 deal might have been better)...... They get you on that card though, you can only use it every 1 minute, so me and my friend couldn't really play games "simultaneously" on one card. Which was still fine, for $10, you can afford more than one!! ;) Not sure if I'd return here for the food, but always have a good time when I come play.....

I played the open mic at Dave & Buster's last Friday night. The host was great. He gave me a CD of my set and then posted a video of me on the web. The other musicians were very supportive. I had a great time playing the games too. I'll be back!

Deanna J.
I've been on a string of going to Dave & Buster's for birthdays for the past few months, so I'm gonna need to rest up my skeeball arm before going back, but it's always a fun time with the right group of friends. A ridiculous amount of video games plus alcohol means that you don't realize how much you're spending per game - and it's probably for the best. There are a few games we obsessed over - the Trivia game is a good place to start if you've taken a group of friends. The game combines accuracy with speed of your answer, and if I could somehow sneak one game out of here and take it home with me, this would be it. Another camera-worthy one is the 'jump rope' game, which is a light that you have to 'jump' over, as it goes faster and faster. Our group of young professional 20-30 year olds stood in line behind two eight year old girls in pigtails - and i think we had more fun then they did. Minus the pulled hamstring. The food is ok - especially if you get something fried - and they have an entertaining cocktails menu with lots of 'made for spring break' looking drinks. Go to D&B for a date, a birthday party, or if you're in the mood to combine your drinking with a little more activity than dodging drunkards in crowded bars.

Rebecca W.
This is a great place to visit if you want to make a night out of dinner and arcade games. No smoking is allowed in the building, which is a huge plus. The food is decent for the bar scene it is, and the arcade games are fun. It's a bit pricey, but they do have coupons in the paper and coupon books, so if you plan ahead and go when you can use a coupon, it's worth it. It's also best to save up your tickets (thru your power card) and get a great prize instead of some of the cheaper prizes. My favorite prize was a miniature air hockey table that actually has a battery operated air pack. The prizes are hit and miss, but they do have some decent things. I will definitely go back and add to my tickets saved up.

We went here for a "thing" for a friend who is deploying, it was also his wife's birthday, and kind of an anniversary party, too. So not really sure about what kind of "thing" it was. Service - Kinda sucked. We had a group of 9 people, so I am even grading this on a curve. Drinks were slow from the bar, pretty weak, too. The server took our orders, and when the food came out, while it was sloooow doing so, the food was decent. My fries were cold, but I wasn't going to complain as I was starving at this point. I had the Buffalo Bar Chicks - which was like a teensy piece of chicken with some wing sauce on a bun with a half slice of tomato and some wilty lettuce. It might have had some mayo on it, but I'm not sure. It was OK. One of the people in our party ordered soup. There aren't spoons in the little silverware rolls, so she asked for one. The server brought back another roll of silverware. She began to just drink her soup out of the bowl as it didn't look good for getting a spoon anytime soon. About halfway through drinking her soup, one of our partygoers got a spoon from the bar. A long tiny teaspoon, but it was better than nothing. So for the service, I give it a D. Atmosphere - There are a lot of kids that come to Dave & Busters. Tons more adults than kids. But it wasn't really a problem. The ambient noise tends to drown them out, so on that, it gets an A. Games - I'll admit I'm NOT a big fan of arcades. I don't generally play video games, but I got into skeeball and some of the other fun little games that they have. Trivia was a big one for me, and I wish I had discovered it sooner. Boyfriend got more out of the arcade experience. So he had fun, and for that I will give it a B. It's on the spendy side, but fun if you're into that sort of thing. Definitely a fun thing to do on a date, I don't know if I would go there again as a group thing though. Yeah, something for everyone, but the event was supposed to be to hang out with our friend before he deploys again. It wasn't really condusive to conversation where we were sitting. But that was really the only place that would accommodate 9 people + a baby.

I actually went to the site in Marietta. This place is an adult playground. Similar to Jillian's but a bit nicer. Dave and Buster's features pool tables, a video game area, a bar and a 'nice' dining area. Its free to get in but people under 21 can't get in without an adult.

Yea, I keep going back. And on Wednesday's. The place isn't nearly as crowded, and has the half off games, I love it! I even figured out a few games to win gobs of tickets, so maybe one day, I can get a new video game system. This place is clean, the bartenders are great (at least to me, always quick to keep the drinks filled), and the new games are always fun to check out. This place is one stop shop for adults, check it out! I could write for days about this place, but hopefully my low quality pics will tell the tale(s)...

Another Dave & Buster's, off we go. I have been to this one a few times. My recent experience here on 8/8/2015 was pretty decent. As far as service, this particular D&B was really good! We found ourselves a seat, and a manager actually came to take care of our drinks. That was very nice of him. Now after we got our drinks, a lady came to take care of my food. It was a Saturday and not horribly packed. I went for the "eat & play combo" with a $20 game card and got me some 'goldfingers' (chicken strips). These were pretty plump and juicy, and the honey mustard was very good. Definitely go for the eat & play combo if you are on a budget, especially on Wednesdays if you wanna play games!! Now, let's go on to the Midway--the arcade games. Typical D&B fare per usual. New games come in every season. However, a lot of the old Sega games that have LCD monitors inside them have smudges across the screen. Some shooting games like 'The House of the Dead 2' for instance, had a gun not working as well. What I like about Dave & Buster's arcades now, is that they went green with tickets and game cards. You now push your card into a slot to play a game, and tickets actually go on your card. I have a pizza place & arcade near me that runs their games that way. However, be careful. Spend your money wisely when you play these games. If that's your concern, then I would suggest coming here on Wednesdays for half-price games! So yeah, Dave & Buster's in Duluth is not a bad location at all. It's quite spacious and there's a good amount of games, but if you're shopping at Sugarloaf Mills, you might want to consider that D&B as well.

Well let me start by saying it smells divine! When you first walk in this establishment. I'm a regular here. Great selections of games, food, and drinks! They just recently added alot of new games. Definitely a family friendly establishment, but also cute to go on fun outing with friends on a Friday night, or a cute date night on Saturday. Games - I'm a beast at basketball here (just incase anyone is reading this lol). So if you see me you will already know what time it is. The Beer Pong games is so creative too! Never seen it in arcade form. The Power Card is rechargeable too. So that's a plus. Food- It's a descent price for what it's worth. Plenty of selections to choose from no matter what you might be craving. I most recently ordered the Buster's Cheeseburger and added bacon for .99 with a side a fries and topped it off with a double shot of Tequila. My girlfriend however ordered Fish n' Chips. Substituted the chips for fries. I give the food a thumbs up. Plus our server informed us if we fill out a survey we could receive a free $10 Power Card with 60 tokens available. Which we did and what do you know! Plus we're still eligible for more free games/food.

So I came here last night to play Ms. Pac-man, but ended up staying at the bar and eating and drinking too late. The place is massive, with lots of games and pool tables. I had a Cosmopolitan martini and it was strong. They really do a nice job on their drinks. Also, I had soft pretzel bites, which were warm and soft and yummy! They came with 3 different sauces, spicy mustard, honey mustard, and cheese sauce. For dinner, I had the smoky BBQ chicken with mashed potatoes and broccoli. That was also really good! I was surprised their food was as good as it was...was expecting typical mediocre bar food. Oh, and I and the apple and pecan salad with raspberry dressing. Delicious!!!

This building where D&B has resided for a long, long time, used to be of electronics giant Incredible Universe. This was like 15+ years ago. Now it's a PGA Superstore and D&B. This location is worse than the one at Discover (now Sugarloaf) Mills and due to the relatively close proximity of both, I'm not quite sure why this one is still open. However, it serves it's purpose. On Wednesdays, they have 1/2 off games... otherwise, probably not worth it unless you have a lot of money to just put into the machines. On this particular occasion, we went during Power Hour - 1 hour for $10 for unlimited non-ticketed games. There's a 1 minute "rest period" between swipes, but if you have a few friends and a couple of cards, this is a cheap way to have some fun and pass time, especially late night when nothing else is open. I personally enjoyed some Guitar Hero and other random games. D&B is dead on weeknights, obviously, but probably more crowded on weekends, if nothing has changed since the last time I went on a weekend. It's also way, way too dark inside and the lighting is somewhat depressing. I still prefer the cleaner, newer, much more lively Sugarloaf location.

We went here for my cousin Sweet 16 party and I been to the location in Marietta , but probably haven't been to a D&B in ten plus years. This was my first time at this location. The plan was to arrive before 5pm so we could do the Eat and Play Combo but we had to wait til 7 for everyone to arrive so we had to buy the play cards individually from our meal. We were going to go with one of their party rooms, but the price for that was quoted at anywhere from $70-$100 per hour for just the room and did not include food or games, and my original plan was not to spend $70, so we all decided on a time to arrive and and got a table that sat our entire party just away from the bar. I was pleased that we got a table outside the game room cause as I walked around in there, there was too much activity for us to have enjoyed food and family. We had a party of 11, and of that 11, only 4 or 5 planned to play games. At the end of the evening, my tab for my mother, daughter and myself came up to $148 for 4 cocktails and three entrees. Not to mention another bar tab of $40 we created while we were waiting to the other guest to arrive and as a treat to the birthday girl I bought the 4 pack of play cards for $106. 3 of the six cocktails we had were the D&B TNT which is their version of the Long Island Ice Tea which comes in a souvenir glass you get to keep. After seeing our tab, I realized why I haven't been to D&B in years, cause there are many other ways I'd rather spend almost $300 not including the tip. I can't think of anything that was memorable about the food, I had the fish and chips and found them to be soggy and left more than half on the plate. Mom had the ribs and said they were salty and my daughter went with one of the pasta dishes, but had no complaints about it. About a week after being here, I was going over the receipt and called the restaurant and spoke with Nick and explained that the waitress had charged me for a meal that I hadn't order and a $2 game card activation fee for an additional card that I hadn't purchased and within a day, he called back and advised that he was refunding $17 back to my card. Overall, I was pleased with the service we received and our family enjoyed our evening, but the cost adds up fast, so I recommend doing either their power hour, which allows you to play an hour worth of games for $10 or getting there before 5pm so you can take part of the Eat and Play Combos.

"If your reviews are looking like essays, start a blog. I can't read your life story on my phone before ordering from the menu." [Time & Date of visit]: Sunday 3/22/15 around 4pm [Party Size]: 8+ [Location/Ambiance]: The bar area in the front, adjacent to the pool tables isn't as noisy as expected. Though that might differ when there's a big game on the tube. Careful of the table that is centered around the brick wall across from the bar. There's no warning sign that the floor is raised one side. [Service]: Our server was decently attentive. I'm not sure if he was managing the rest of the bar area, but drink refills were pretty good. [Food Highlights]: Most of the foods that my family members ordered were pretty salty, such as the grilled salmon and pasta. Though the fish was cooked very well and still juicy, it's like they got over zealous with the salt mill. Shrimp Alfredo - I'm surprised how this dish tasted. Maybe the kitchen got the clue to hold back on the salt, but this one is actually pretty good. Though the shrimp is grilled a little over, the alfredo sauce isn't salty or overpowering. Accompanied by diced tomatoes and whole white mushrooms. With a generous portion of pasta. Quite filling. {Summary}: Don't expect to get your taste buds hit with a flavor bomb with the entrees served here. Do expect foods similar to Applebee's. It's not bad for what kind of place this is. But if you are craving something with better consistency, dine else where before gaming.

Had a silly good time at Dave & Busters (surprisingly) with the boyfriend late on a Sunday afternoon. We decided to drop in super spur of the moment after a very uninspiring brunch at Hobnob. Paid $12 for 63 chips and then headed to the bar to grab a couple of their enormous beers. The bartender was personable without being overly obnoxious like some bartenders tend to be. Played a bunch of games with our chips and gave the tickets won as a result to a child that decided to play basketball with us. We sort of felt like kids again but, mostly, loved the laid back feel of the place. Really enjoyed that although it full, it wasn't teeming with screaming children like the one in Miami always is (Dolphin Mall location).
(4)jamie s.
Dave and busters is good for all ages.you can eat there and play some games.it is good for birthday party and work party .
(4)Kim D.
pretty sweet spot. I like this location because it's clean, spacious, and not busy. I always play the clown toss, pacman, and kungfu panda. go on wednesday and you get half price games!
(4)Kathy H.
Who knew, Dave & Buster was opened on Thanksgiving Day. I believe there are 3 locations in Georgia. Lawrence ville is too far for me. Marietta has happy hour (1/2 off drinks) on certain nights. The Duluth location is my all all time favorite. It is a lot bigger with newer games. I use to go so much that i earned a Rewards Gold card. It took 1/2 off of all games but they got rid of it recently. It's more expensive then what i remembered. I recommend subscribing to D&B for good deals/promotions.
(3)Andrea M.
Went here last last Saturday night and had a blast with a date! I felt like a big kid again. The game area was pretty big, but it wasn't super wowing. Even the date confirmed this. But, they do have spacious dining areas with pool tables and other entertainment elsewhere. There was def plenty of bars for drink ordering throughout the place. So it was interesting to learn about how Dave & Buster's gaming world works. So you load your card up, swipe, play, then go. Interesting. I guess I'm used to the coin version of Chuck E Cheese. Lol. Yeah. You can tell I don't go to these places much. You accumulate tickets then take it to the central redemption station to have the tickets weighed. Take the printout they gave you that has the number of tickets you earned and enter the prize area for redemption. :) Parking was plentiful since this area was huge and at a dead end area. There was a police car stationed in the parking as I arrived, and he was still there as I left hours later. That's definitely a plus. But the parking lot was well lit too so that's not a discerning point.
(4)Matthew M.
This place is WAY better than the one in Sugarloaf Mills. The staff is courteous, the management is friendly and I had a pleasant experience when I last went. My waiter was friendly and the manager was asking customers how we were doing.
(5)Dawn T.
Great value for Bday party upgrade for $5 more for unlimited game! Mr.Terry took great care of us!
(4)Rashida C.
I came here when I was younger many years ago and I loved this place. Years later my hubby wanted to do something different for date night so we decided Dave and Buster's would be interesting. This place looks the same still clean, bright and a good cross between an adult Chuck E. Cheese. The food was good and hot nothing special just bar food. The service was friendly and the servers were patient. The drinks were great and next time I'll skip the meal and just come for the drinks! Very strong. The only reason I'm taking stars off is because the chairs and booths were dirty and I sat on 2 old french fries in the booth....Yucky! Another reason for less stars, it would be nice to get some updated games, some of the games there were very old and have been there since the opening (in the 90s). Other than that I still love this place and encourage others to come or go to a newer location.
(3)Robert S.
The server Robert was so funny. Very good time with him, food was great, he is the best server in that place
(5)Savanah F.
The food is a bit overpriced for what it is... but the games are fun! I'd go back for the games, but would probably eat dinner somewhere else... Overall it's a cool place to go with some friends!
(4)Paige S.
The games are a lot of fun, and I highly recommend going on Wednesday during half-price games. The food isn't worth the price, so I wouldn't eat there again. I ordered nachos and they were just really thin chips, with some nasty Hormel-type chili on top. 10.99?! Too much for that. The drinks are usually good, I don't know if they're training now but yikes! Every drink was just pure alcohol. My husband sent a few back to try other drinks but they were all bad. It's hit or miss here.
(3)Drew H.
The game room is the best part of this place. The equipment is maintained well so there aren't many times you run into something broken. They could use more support staff on the floor, though, particularly on weekends. I would really like to see more classic arcade games. There are LOT of first-person shooter games which seems like overkill (pun intended). More of the Carbon driving game stations would be nice, too. The restaurant is consistently lousy. The food is decent but overpriced, and the service is deplorable. Don't expect much of this area because the root of the problem lies at the management level. If your server returns at all after taking your order then you got one of the better ones. The cocktails are weak so beer may be your best bet at the bar. Expect high prices for the drinks, too. Free refills on sodas. Excellent selections. If D&B wants to round out this location then they need to get their act together on the food side of things and hire restaurant professionals rather than people that worked concessions at Six Flags over the summer.
(3)Heidi S.
Came in to spend an evening goofing off and playing games. Many of the arcade games and ticketed games were broken, but we had a decent time. Good selection of drinks at the bar in the game room and friendly service. I'd go back to kill a few hours for fun.
(3)Brenda J.
Been coming here for 15 years. Always amazed their bartenders lack the most basic customer service. Guaranteed to sit at bar 5-8 minutes before they even acknowledge you or greet you. Definitely will be 10 minutes before you get a menu or asked for drink order. Yes it's a Saturday evening in the game room bar but I've been at loud massively crowded dance clubs where the bartenders atleast know basic etiquette.
(2)Sharon H.
Went with a group and several issues occurred. Orders were late and some completely forgotten. Ladies restroom wasn't clean to the point you had to question if you really wanted\needed to use it. I could tell it was a busy night, which was the standard staff excuse for each issue, but I think the chain is large enough where staffing plans could have been better based on past experience. I still enjoyed the evening with my friends regardless of the issues. I guess that's what D&B relies on rather than staffing and customer service. You get what you put in.
(2)Rocky E.
We stopped in on our way back from vacation. We were the only people dining in the entire restaurant area. It took forever to get a waitress. When she did arrive she was not the friendliest of people. We then decided to play some games so we ordered the meal deals where u can get gaming cards. The prices of the games are ridiculous! It took 7 credits to play a ten second game! Too overpriced and food was ok.
(2)Mindy R.
Drinks are good...probably a little bit too much alcohol added in. Beers are perfect. Since adding in new games, this place has picked up a bit more. Really busy on a Saturday or Friday night with kids, teenagers, and adults. Be prepared to wait on games. Some machines cheat you out on tickets...like skee ball and the other skee fast ball game. Some workers are a little rude...me and my boyfriend were in the ticket shop. Whilst I was looking a cup to observe before turning in tickets, a worker kind of shove and said "excused me" really rude like. If you hate your job, then quit. Simple as that, more people could use your job. But anyways, D & B is on average for the Duluth area. Need more lights for the parking lot though. Not too great, but not too shabby.
(3)Chan M.
Decided to go early to D&B from reading early reviews. Most machines are broke. Employees don't care and don't offer to help customers who may be struggling. Their seem to be a ton of employees here just collecting a paycheck. I was a first time D&B customer today, and definitely didn't have a great taste in my mouth with this being my first experience.
(1)Kofo S.
Great Drinks and bartenders! My faves are the Sno Cone and the Jolly Rancher Shots. D&B gets very busy Fri and Sat nights, so head over to the bar while you wait on games. Tables fill up very quickly for reserved parties so be sure to call ahead. As many Yelpers mentioned there are tons of kids and teens running around but from what I have experienced, they rarely get in the way of my good time.
(4)Lisa S.
AWFUL!! Thought this would be a great family place to spend some time with my kids "playing games". This place is like Vegas for kids. It's not about games- just feeding tons of tokens into machines to win tickets. Money sucker!!! Spent $50 on a card (similar to a credit card so kids have NO IDEA how much they are spending) my kids ended up with about $5 worth of candy and crap that could have been purchased at the local dollar store. ( it lasted about 20 minutes) Amazed at how many people were wasting so much money on NOTHING! . Save your money and spend quality time with your kids. Go play putt-putt or something where you can interact as a family.
(1)Tavis W.
We went there Sunday night and were greeted by a friendly informative young man at the counter. He was excellent with Customer Service!! We were quickly seated for dinner an had the Best Server I think in Atlanta! I do not remember the young man's name but I sought out the Manager to express my true appreciation of this man's Customer Service! What a AAA+++ Personality! My Godson and I had a blast playing the various games. HOWEVER.................... They have games with the God Awful Tickets! I spent $50.00 and he traded his tickets in for $1.50 of crap candy!! Nevertheless, we will be back!
(4)Jordan K.
Hey no other place better for kids than this place. The biggest arcade in the world as far as I'm concerned. Kids had a great time. I think a little spendy for an arcade but can't beat the huge game room. Plus the parents can hang out and drink some beers and order snacks while the kids play. Very loud and good to go on weekdays as they have specials. I will definitely go back. The food is okay. Good snack food.
(4)Rose M.
My family and I went on Sunday for the first time we got $20 game cards for each of my 4 kids had dinner the food was good. The waiter Kathleen dropped sauce it splattered all over the floor and nobody came to clean it (not a huge deal) the problem was that when we went to play we checked the game cards and the amount was wrong. We went to talk to Kathleen about it and she was RUDE she implied that we where lying I have never been treated so bad. After we called the manager she still kept on going with her comments until the manager told her to shut up. It ruined the whole experience. We spent 170.00 and got treated like crap. Check your cards before you play if you go there!!!
(2)Duc L.
So this review is a little bit two sided, what I mean by that is three stars is how I feel about this place overall, I would actually give it a 2 if I wrote this review couple days ago. If you have never been here before, it's a giant arcade for kids and adults with addition of a lot more. Place has shuffleboard, billards, full bar, resturant and the like. There's a lot to do here so expect to drop some cash. If you think you're gonna just come in here with $30 bucks in your pocket for 2 kids, don't even think about it. What I did like about this place, it's smoke free, and offer a wide variety of things to do here. I like to just stop by after work and grab a drink and play some pool. Not many places offer pool tablets without smoking, so I'll pay the higher price for it. These are pretty nice tables also, not some run down ones, but their cues can have some work on, many warped, tip-less cues sitting around. If you play the arcade, you'll have to put money onto a play card (think of it like a debit card) and use that card to play games. Any tickets racked up can be changed for prizes or but put onto that card to be saved for a later date. Alots of toys attracting attention of kids but man, are they a big rip-off in my opinion. But then again, it's how they get you. At the pool table, I had a waitress that came around often to make sure I was ok. Friend ordered a plate of nahcos, HUGE portions. Can easily feed 2-3 people. But my biggest gripe about this place is the person at the front counter checking in and out. Since they are the last person I have to interact with, it leaves a big impression on how I feel about the place overall. Had a check for $20 and I just wanted to be split between myself and a friend, I've never heard of an instance where you couldn't do that in a retail setting. She stood there and waved my card around and mumbled about how she forgot how to do it. No inclanation on getting someone to help her, just stood there staring at her screen and saying how she forgot. After waiting for 5 minutes of her just fumbling around, i'm fed up and hence why I'll give it a three. I can't fault the entire staff for doing their job but this chick seriously needs to get her shit together. Call the manager to get it done or even another person who could. Don't waste my time with your crap. My rant is over.
(3)Latea L.
Went on Wednesday because it was half off to play which was worth the trip. It was Spring break so it was extremely busy but still pretty orderly. My issue started with a staff person who was walking around when a patron needed help he snapped " I'm not working!". Howvwer h still had on the same dirty work clothes and was walking around the place- just go home or at least change out of your uniform if you don't want ppl to ask questions. Why was he mad?? Second the servers. I did not mind waiting for a table bc I came during Spring break. The issue was after I was finally was seated no one came to help. Several servers walked by without even greeting us. After realizing no one was coming I went to the bar to place my order another server turned to my server (who was just standing around) and told him we were attempting to order from the bar. The first server saw us waiting the whole time but did not care until we went with other options. The food was and the two drinks we ordered we decent. The other complaint is regarding another server that I could not believe management allowed to remain at work. Our visit was during the middle of the day, again during spring break. This ( I will call lady) with blue hair and a club dress on. Literally you could see her behind and when she reached over to hand out food, nothing was left to imagine. I know some do not know proper workplace etiquette but that is what management is for. I do not plan to return to this establishment because clearly management is lacking.

A fun place to get your arcade fix. Went with friends and had a good experience.

I recently rented the private party area for the superbowl party last Sunday. I wanted to scope out the location on the preceding Friday. That's when I saw it! It was area that had been set up to represent a living room. There are leather couches, college decals on the walls, nice 50 or 60 inch tv, ottoman and hardwood tv trays. It was in a private area near the top level bar. It looks super sweet so I was shocked to hear the manager say I could rent it for 25. I asked, "You mean, $2,500?" The manager Chris replied, "No, we don't hit people over the head, it's $25 an hour." I was in disbelief and quickly reserved it for 4 hours. The Dave and Busters special events coordinator contacted me the following day and asked if I wanted banquet or regular menu items. The catch with the regular menu is that everyone must order at least $16.00 worth food. You must have 10-15 guests attend. My guests list was for 11 people and we had no trouble hitting the min for $16.00 after buying power play card combos. Jeff was our server and he quickly greeted my husband and I. We arrived 30 mins early. He atttended to each guest as they arrived and brought everyone their drinks and food at the speed of light. He was training another server and did not miss a beat. Jeff listened to each order and did not disappoint. My guests loved him. Chris the manager made sure we were all happy and that my special requests were fufilled. There was another manager (tall, drk, bald) who helped one of my friends when she threw her ring over the basketball goal while shooting. He jumped back there with no hestitaion to grab it and hand delievered her dessert. I was so IMPRESSED by the staff that day! It's like bottle service at the club and I was P. Diddy, type of day. The best part was that it didn't cost an arm and a leg like most venues in Atlanta.
(5)Erica R.
My experience here was very weird. Extremely poor customer service. Stopped in here with some friends and my kids. We went to the bar for a few drinks and to watch football, the kids of course went straight to the arcade. The bartender was great. She made us pretty and flavorful drinks. We tipped her well for all of her help. We were the only people sitting on our side of the bar, the place was pretty empty, so we asked to change the channel to another game since four of the TV's around the bar area were playing the same game. The bartender did not have permissions to change the channel so she went and got the manager. He comes out and starts talking about how they have a set schedule and can't change the TVs. By this time, a group of guys were sitting close to us and they also requested that the TV be changed to the game we all wanted to see. The store manager comes back out and starts going on about how it would be utter chaos if they changed the channel. There were literally 5 people at the bar PERIOD, and all five were asking that one of 10 TVs be changed to a certain football game. We were denied. He said there was nothing he could do. We decided to move once we saw the game on a TV on the wall that you could see if you sat in the back corner of the bar area. We received ZERO service after moving. It was like we weren't even there. I ended up going to get the kids and tried to get my money back for the tokens they didn't spend since we don't have a D&B in our area, but again, nothing they can do. We hauled the hell away as fast as we could. We had had enough! Oh yeah the group of guys got up and left too. They had ordered food and commented to me that they wish they hadn't ordered anything from that place.
(1)Emilia L.
Hadn't been to this location of D&B in a while. We wanted a change of pace from the other D&B. The restaurant portion of this location is much, much larger. In turn, I feel like the games area is quite a bit smaller. The selection of games is not quite as great as the L'ville location. Of course, we made a beeline for the arcade basketball game. One immediate thing that I noticed -- the ball tends to get stuck between the hoop and the sides of the cage. That is quite annoying. It will come loose if you manage to hit the stuck ball with a new ball, but still. That could have gone in the basket! Another thing we learned is that the card must be authorized by an employee before using it between locations. Even though they are both D&B, they are still somewhat separate entities so a card that was previously used at one location must be swiped by an employee before it can be used at another location. The BF suffered minor heartbreak because he made it to the last level of the 18-Wheeler video game and for some reason, the game started over even though he thought he had swiped his card to play that level again. Lol.
(3)Denise D.
Good food, waitress do ok job. Food is a little expensive. Games are the biggest draw. It takes so many coupons and spending money to get the prizes, easier to buy them at the Wal-Mart.
(3)Shalonda C.
Even though D&B's is known for the games, the good is really good. Tonight I'm having spinach dip as the appetizer and BBQ chicken with mashed potatoes & broccoli. Spinach dip was made just right...I prefer more spinach than cheese. BBQ chicken was mass just right. Recommend as a restaurant for a quick, well prepared meal.
(4)Sean H.
I like this D&B over the other one in the Atlanta area. This D&B always seems cleaner and a little less children running around playing tag or something. The food here is always on the spot as well and they have some amazing selections that you would not suspect a entertainment/gaming center to have. I would compare D&B food to a Longhorn's Steakhouse or a better Ruby Tuesday's. One of my favorite things about D&B is the eat and play offers they have that start at $16.99. A delicious meal and a $10 gaming card. $10 doesn't normally last long since the "good" games are expensive in credits. I would recommend coming on Wednesday's since it is half price on all games. I enjoy hanging out at D&B with the family and it is always fun getting competitive in their basketball games and occasionally hitting a jackpot here and there.
(4)Sy Y.
D&B change their POS, your dining check will automatic add 18% tips on the total even for a small party of 3. There is a spot you can add or minus the tips. If you didn't pay attention you might end up double to tip there. It seems like the service is getting worst there. The waiter come and get our food order, when the appetizer come out we wait for ten mins by just staring at it and still didn't see the waiter bring us any utensils and plate. I walk to the manager and ask for plate and utensils, all he did is bringing three setting over and walk away. What a service , as manager cant even say sorry for the wait. When we almost 70% done with our lunch I saw the waiter pass by and ask him to go ahead to bring us the check while my kids and I still try to finish up the food on the table. Suddenly I notice the waiter took away the half plate of fries ,Not even ask we need Togo box or anything. I would not pay lunch here for $50 and get a fast food restaurant service.
(1)Tony G.
Nobody there to seat us. No help from any staff. I left. Not gonna wait around for staff & spend my money with ppl who aren't professional or desirous to seat patrons.
(1)Mel W.
Overall the experience was ok we had fun to a certain degree however the facility had an odd smell upon entering which was a turnoff. The games seemed a bit overpriced. The food was average at best. If I do return I will not order food, it was a big rip off.
(3)Vitelle W.
I love this place but we don't go too often! You will definitely spend about $200 to have a really good time! Thankfully they offer 1/2 price Wednesdays so that helps on the price of the games! Food is good too! Fun place just too expensive like most places these days.
(4)Angel P.
We dined in the main room away from the noise and commotion. I ordered the Balsamic Glazed Chicken Breast and a Cherry Berry Mojito. My husband ordered the Bar Burgers and Wings. My chicken was cooked to perfection, moist, tender, juicy, full of flavor. The grilled veggies, potatoes, and toast that came alongside were perfect. Wonderful grill marks and seasoned perfectly. The bar burgers were juicy and wings were perfectly crisp and juicy as well. My mojito was amazing! Sweet and sour with a kick. Delish! Service was also on point. Much better experience than at the other location. Being at D&B, this meal was one of the best meals we've ever had. Definitely recommend it.
(4)Lisa H.
There is no D&B close to where I live, so I had to visit when I went back to Atlanta. It was perfect as we went there on a Saturday night for some college football conference championship actions. There were 6 of us, so seating in the arcade area is limited for such a big group, but the staff was super helpful and secured us a booth quickly after another big party closed out their check. Our waiter was amazing and super friendly and let us get the "Eat and Play" combos even though it was way after 5pm for the special. Our food was great, and the new bistro steak and shrimp with lobster alfredo is a must try! We were able to play a lot of games with our $10 game card that came with our combo specials, so that was great. I miss D&B, always a good time =)
(4)Linda L.
I called previously to see of they had bowling at the location, no one answered. I drove there with my party and they told us that they did not have bowling. The greeter (Asian female) not only answered the phone and continued to have a conversation but she also ignored us (eating). We then went to the game rooms, the tables were FILTHY with no waitress in sight! Everyone was rude and too busy to help us... The Marietta and discover mills has FAR better service!
(1)Frank U.
My first trip to D&B and it was great! Only complaint is there is a lot of children running around. But there's a separate, quiet bar area with TV's if you want to avoid. Otherwise, the food was great, service is excellent and you can play in an arcade while drinking a beer. Doesn't get much better!

Starting to show some age. Was cleaning out some stuff and found a old game card from an office party about 3 years ago and thought what the heck, had to run to Duluth anyway. One can tell the high tech video games with kids nowadays is really hurting places like this. Counting my wife and I there could not have been more than 20 people in the place, even a couple employees were playing games to compensate for the boredom. Found a half dozen games that were out of service. Location was clean but rather dark and stale I wish them luck and hopefully the party business will continue. The days of the arcade seem to be heading to the rock pile.

I usually come here for their pool tables and air hockey. It's pretty crowded on weekends so I avoid that as much as possible. The staff is great here. The customer service is exceptional and I've never had a bad experience here. I appreciate that their restrooms are clean and well maintained. I haven't tried their food here but will have to check out their menu during my next visit.

Plenty of games to choose from, but don't even think about eating here on a Saturday night. Our "45 minutes to an hour" wait ended up being over an hour and a half and when we complained about this, the little rhymes with a witch hostess was rude to my wife and we had to call over the manager. Keep in mind, there were plenty of empty tables. They just didn't have enough staff to handle them or enough interest in satisfying their customers to try to make up for it. Terrible service for food you could get anywhere in town with much less hassle. Do yourself a favor, come here with a full stomach or don't come at all.

Decent spot for a corporate event. We had training here in the morning (opening early just for us). They gave us one of the pool rooms with an insert on the table. We were able to hook up the laptop to the TV so that we could view the presentation. They gave us danishes for breakfast, coffee, and plenty of water. The whole place is a little eerie in the mornings, with no one there, but the fans running and the birds chirping (for ambiance, so I was told). I will say that their soundtrack was great, since they played a ton of my favorite songs from the last 2 years. We ordered from the 8 options that gave us lunch plus a power card for $15.99. Frankly, I was disappointed in the 8 choices, since I was trying to be healthy rather than loading up on burger, chicken tenders, Philly cheese steak, or chicken and shrimp alfredo. I opted for the build your own chicken soft tacos. They turned out to be a good option, except for the tepid tortillas, which I didn't need to eat anyways. After lunch, we did the "corporate challenge" which consists of you breaking in to teams, and then competing at several of the events in the arcade while a "referee" walks you around and keeps score. At the end the team with the most points got a.... free D&B drink bottle (32oz) with crinkle straw....woot? After the challenge, we played with what was left on our power card. I'm not much of gambler, so the only crazy thing I tried was the Big Bass wheel, which reminds me of the wheel in the Price is Right. It got me 80 tickets, but it cost 9.9units on my card...so I went back to Skeeball (some of the lanes were particularly buggy, often not releasing all 9 balls) and basketball (one lane took my money but didn't start). Still had fun even though I barely won any tickets. Better than hanging out in the office all day!

Decent food and numerous televisions to watch sports. I like D&B and there is really not much more you can ask for in an adult oriented arcade. Have some drinks, watch some sports, eat then head to the arcade for some competition. I always have a great time! My only request is that they hire someone to clean the bathrooms. They are super gross. I have been to this location numerous times and it's always the same story. This complaint is valid because in comparison to the Marietta location, Gwinnett has failed major.
(3)Scott P.
Watch your car at the Duluth location. Ours was broken into and a MacBook Pro, iPad, and iPod were stolen while we were inside. The manager said, "That's why I don't drive a nice car or leave anything in it." Better advice - don't park at this location! I know it isn't Dave & Buster's fault, but this seemed to be a normal occurence here - from the manager and police officer.
(1)Luke T.
It feels sorta like Vegas but without the gambling. Upon entry, you'll notice a well appointed and wood paneled bar area with plenty of TV's. The pool table area that is swanky. The gaming section is updated and has at least 4-5 new games since my last visit, maybe 1 month ago. In here, you'll find kids running around, but there are a few booths and another bar with plenty of TV's to keep adults happy. This place just feels like Happy Hour all day long.
(4)Adrianne R.
Had my daughter's Birthday here. It wasn't what I expected....The game floor wasn't that big, seemed pretty boring compared to the other D&B's that I've been to. I would not recommend having a catered Birthday party here, They charge too much for some food you can fix at home. I don't see me going back to this location anytime soon.
(2)Bryan W.
Adult Putt Putt is what I like to call D & B. I have actually only been to one other location, in Nashville, so I can't speak as to how this location rates compared to other locations. I will simply be reviewing it based on my experience and my thoughts on the concept in general. First, the food. You enter this odd looking building, and aren't completely sure where to go (at least if you come in the door that leads into the restaurant, not the play area.) There are various private rooms you can rent for parties, some of which appear fairly lavish. The bar in this area is pretty formal, but is relatively small. The food is standard American style Bar food, like an Applebee's or something like that. Nothing spectacular. I tend to usually get something that includes a game card for the frivolity that will be coming later in the evening. Typically, you get good service, and don't have to wait too long. Most people aren't here for the food. Things change drastically when you cross over into the game area. It can be quite chaotic here, and on the weekends they charge a cover to get in. There is a lot of fun to be had, however. If you go in all uppity and snooty, you won't enjoy yourself. Sure, it is various games and things, but it is all good natured fun. Anything you would like to try out, is available. I tend to get stuck in the corner playing Trivia, trying to win tickets off people. The Deal or No Deal game is also extremely addictive and frustrating. You convince yourself you can outsmart the random generator, and you never can. Lots of virtual things, from sports to shooting to driving to flying are all available. The bar here is also pretty spectacular, with some of the best tasting shooters I have ever had. It is quite pricey, however. This is a fun place to go on a date with a fun person, who doesn't mind letting their hair down. It is also a great place to go with a group of friends, because there is a little bit of everything for everyone, and you can stay all night.
(4)Keith F.
My trip here was ridiculous. Overpriced drinks, bad service and a manager who refused to change the channel on one TV so we could watch a game at the bar. Mind you the bar has 12 TVs so it was totally confusing why he couldn't do one. He set they have a strict schedule and it would create " complete chaos" if he didn't follow the schedule of events. The only other people setting at the bar actually wanted to watch the same game as us, so when the manager was summoned back out he thought it was still me bitching, which wasn't the case I think they were just as frustrated as us. When we moved to a high top on the far end of the bar where we could see the game we wanted to not a single server ever came over to check on us, our drinks, or anything else. We were fully intending on ordering food but waited for almost 20 minutes before deciding we were not going to give them another penny. We let the kids play 20 dollars worth of games and then we left. I WILL NEVER GO BACK or suggest this place to someone unless I didn't like them.
(1)Patrick S.
I Think Gretchen O. is a secret shopper for Dave & Buster's because She is so formal in her review, but oh so Right On. The folks at D&B's did me a real Solid by helping me host an awesome Birthday Party that was just a lot of fun. I finally got to play some shuffleboard with my Bourbon drink on too, just a couple of old men drinkin' and shuffleboardin'. Thanks for the Best (40th) Birthday Party Ever Dave! Oh Yeah You too Buster, where would Dave be with out you man? Party on Wayne!
(5)Apearl C.
I really wanted to have a higher star rating for them after our visit today, but I don't. There is not much variety in their games. Several were out of order. We did like a new game we played that was on a touch screen. The prize room is too small! Staff is friendly. Fix any issues quickly. Good deals on game tickets if you register your card online.
(3)Antonio H.
Ummmm once you been there really isn't anything else to come for except attending a party, which I was. Please help me understand why a parent would let there 14 come out of the house with a fitted mini skirt with ankle high boots to an arcade, dude yes the mom was there, *sigh* and we try to understand why kids are being snatched or molested by teachers. Not that she can't be cute but come on. Anyway games were broken and my trigger finger didn't even get a good workout.
(2)Jamarcus T.
I love the rarely ran Dave and busters commercials where their tag line is don't forget to bring your fun. It's tough to not have a good time here with all the games at your disposal, from pool, ski-ball, arcade racers/shooters and all the bright flashing lights and noises that surround you. Most (I think every) games you plan spit out tickets that you can redeem for prizes, so don't toss them! You also have to activate a "credits" card to use the games. Just put how much money you think you'll use, swipe and you're off. It's a fun place to bring a date, have fun and see who gets bragging rights at whichever game is your flavor (although i'm annoyed they didn't have whack a mole!). I don't recommend going on a Friday, Saturday night, since it gets packed, but they stay open fairly late, well past midnight. They do have a restaurant you can try, but honestly i've never eaten here.
(4)Elexa B.
Wednesday night half off all games. No happy hour on drinks.
(4)Darren H.
I'm torn on this place, i've been to multiple locations now & they all look like they were built 20 years ago. Even the new ones, but with that aside I've never been a big fan of there food it's ok at best. The reason to come here is mostly for the games. There have the old staples and few new one's thrown in. If you are ever strapped with some kids & have a few dollars to spend take them here & they will love you for it. I've never been a big fan of this location but if I have to go to D&B again will try the one located by Discover Mills.
(3)Lauren B.
a bar, good food, lots of games. had to wait almost 2 hours for a table, which i thought was much too long. still had fun, though.
(4)Zlatko U.
Food wise, D&B is pretty mediocre. Standard Americanized greasy food that makes you plan your next day's workout before you even start eating. The beer menu is even less impressive, but they offer BlueMoon so I forgive them. However, I don't forgive their terrible prices. Talk about overpriced food. If you are hungry, skip the food, and run to the arcade. The arcade is like a big nostalgia factory. All of their arcade games are waaaaaaaaaaaaay outdated. It feels like its the 90s and arcade games were more powerful than their console counterparts. There are plenty of games to play but within an hour you'll be broke and bored. If you are feeling frugal, go on Wednesday and you get 1/2 off tickets. If you put $20 on a card you can have a great time with your friends or your SO. Or maybe both, at the same time. PS: Anyone remember when this building was Incredible Universe? Now those were some good times.
(3)Tracy D.
The food is always good here, so I will usually go not just for the games, but to have a meal also. I usually go on a weekday afternoon to avoid big crowds, and it's a much better experience. It's clean, employees are friendly, I'm a fan!
(4)Kat B.
Okay, yes I'm a Mother of 2 adults boys and, yes again, we did go to Dave & Buster's for my Mother's Day lunch. It rained profusely all day and we had originally planned to go hiking but that obviously didn't work. I do, or did, like Discover Mills a lot, they have changed so many of the stores and most have nothing but cheap stuff now, but I remembered they had a D&B so I thought, "why not go play like a kid again?", and what adult guy is going to say "no" to that? We all ate something different. I had the Bar Burgers (sliders) and they were really good! My favorite are from another restaurant but these would come in second. I liked how the pickle was on top of the burger stuck with a large toothpick and another thing I really liked is that they added a grape tomato to each one too. The fries came in a cute little fry can which made the whole plate very visually appealing. I won't get into what everyone else had but I will mention my youngest son's plate. He had the Build Your Own Chicken Tacos. There is no going wrong with this choice especially if you are hungry. The plate was huge and filled with all kinds of goodies to make the tacos including a pile of black beans. He wiped out the whole plate and about waddled away from the table. This was a very good lunch and, as the title states, thank you D&B for saving and making for a very enjoyable Mother's Day! Oh! And we did have a really good time with a lot of laughs playing the games especially air hockey! :)
(5)Min Y.
Dave and Buster's is always a good time, no matter where you go in the country. It combines a bar with arcade style video games, two of my favorite things in life. There are 3 locations in the Atlanta area and I went to the one in Duluth. This one is not as big as other D&Bs i've been to, so that sucks, but the layout is still the same and it's still a great time. a $20 card will keep you occupied for a couple hours. It's a nice familiy-friendly, innocent fun night out option.
(4)Brian M.
I sat at the bar and even though there were several bartenders they kept passing me by on what was a slow weekday night. might have been about ten people in the bar and six in the restaurant. It felt as they were too busy with their personal conversations to wait on me or to get me refills on my beverages. I finally gave up on getting my 2nd mixed drink after 20 minutes or so
(1)Sunil R.
Usually not a fan of Dave and Busters. Been to the one in San Jose bunch of times and thought this was going to be another ho-hum place. But...this is way better than the one in SJC. The food was better. It is not dingy and had more and newer games. It is a a decent option to head out with the family or plan a work event.
(4)Keith L.
First time visitor and we had a blast. It was so great to be able to play some adult oriented games. Didn't get a chance to try the food on this visit. I will definitely dine in next time. Be ready to play hard.
(5)mo h.
As unusual as this may sound, the food here is actually decent! Their health rating is very high - in the 90s if not 100. The bartenders are all very cool and overall, staff is generally friendly. There is something for everyone here from family types to drinking and playing pool types.
(4)Heather S.
I had not been to this location in at least 2 years. It seems that there are less games than before but they still have a great selection of things. They added a couple of extra classic games. Before they only had Galaga and Ms. PacMan but now they have a game that plays centipede, millipede and missle command as well as one that has donkey kong and mario bros. They have a wide variety of racing games and I always like those. All in all, I had fun. My review is based completely on the arcade and nothing related to food/drink.
(4)Phil J.
I was very happy with this Dave and Busters. My wife and I were traveling through Atlanta and stopped at D & B's in Marietta and was totally disappointed and left before we used half our credits. Since we don't live near a D and B, I decided to try one of the other places in Atlanta when we came back though. We had a much better time. Only one time did a game not work and there was an attendant that was near and helped us right away and gave us the game credits we lost. The game worked find, it just just took credits and didn't start the game. All the games worked great unlike the other D and B. When we took our tickets(1128) to buy our kids some small toy, we came up 2 tickets short. The lady gave us the last two tickets we needed. Thanks D and B's staff !!!!!!! This will be the place we stop from now on, even when it isn't on our travel path!
(5)Charles S.
Near my house and always fun to play games plus it's the only david and busters around or near me. The food sucks so don't think about it but i wished they would put more games to play since it needs some new games and updating.
(4)Chris B.
As far as D&Bs go, this location was pretty good. Their pool table and shuffleboard area was pretty large and well serviced. After 9pm, D&B offers a $10 all you can play for one hour pass. Downside is that you can't use it on ticket giving games. Dope!! Oh well you can still beat time crisis with your friend for cheap =) The drinks and service here was pretty good. I can see this location being excellent for parties.
(4)Adriel H.
First off, i went on a thursday night so it was kinda quiet, and its only fun to come here in a large group. Came with 10 other people, the place was very spacious, can fit plenty of people. The waitress was below par, she seemed sleepy and out of it. The food was decent, the barebeque chicken was a ok amount of meat a tad dry, the potatoes werent bad. There were a wide variety of shooting and racing games, which was nice, however there werent many good prizes. They also had pool tables and shuffleboard Definitely come here for some fun with a large group of friends.
(3)Ching H.
I love Wednesdays at D&B, all games are 1/2 off. Also, if you eat there, they have food and play combo, where you eat and get credits on your D&B card. Best of all, they have pretty good tasty food. My favorite appetizer is the Mountain Nachos. It's a big plate of tortilla chips with beef, olives, jalapenos, cheese, sour cream and beans. It is delicious!!! I love their salad with grilled chicken, sliced apples, honey glazed pecans, bleu cheese chunks with balsamic vinegar dressing. Entree I like their sirolin steak with teriyaki sauce. It's tender and sweet. Most importantly, they have the best service and their manager is awesome. He gave us discounts because our coupon didn't validate for that day. Overall, D&B is the place to have fun and eat with friends and family regardless of your age. However, I would only come on Wednesdays for 1/2 off games since regular days games are expensive.
(4)Amrita J.
Ok so me and one of my friends decided to hit up D & B this Wednesday night, in search of something fun to do mid-week. We grabbed some dinner and then played some games. Boy was I disappointed with the dinner/service. It was a Wednesday night at like 9 pm for goodness sakes, what was the reason for such horrible service?? I mean I'd understand if it was a Friday/Saturday night, but Wednesday and that late......I expected better. We get there, and are seated, and this little boy (whos name I will not mention) comes bopping over (yes literally) to our table and asks us for our drink order, the usual...... So then we begin looking at our menu, as we both are starving at 9 pm in the evening, and are ready to order, well we're looking around, he's not to be found, a couple other people have been seated in our section and are doing the same thing looking around wondering where oh where did their hoppin' waiter go! So finally here he comes asks for our order, and rushes off.....then we're waiting as the dishes come out, and why is everyone in our section getting the wrong dishes??? Did he seriously manage to get the dishes and tables mixed up for every table he's serving?? So then they bring out our dishes FINALLY......we're ready to dig in....WITH OUR HANDS?!?! Yup that's right....no silverware was given to us.....so then we had to spend another 15 minutes just trying to flag someone down to bring us that. Horrible dining experience, the service was bad, the wait was bad, and the food was just "okay"........ The plus 1 star is for the fun we had after that. They have this power hour deal after 9 pm where for $10 you can get a card and play unlimited video games for an hour. It was a cool deal for us that night since we weren't going to be there all night......(otherwise the $15.99 deal might have been better)...... They get you on that card though, you can only use it every 1 minute, so me and my friend couldn't really play games "simultaneously" on one card. Which was still fine, for $10, you can afford more than one!! ;) Not sure if I'd return here for the food, but always have a good time when I come play.....
(3)David C.
I played the open mic at Dave & Buster's last Friday night. The host was great. He gave me a CD of my set and then posted a video of me on the web. The other musicians were very supportive. I had a great time playing the games too. I'll be back!
(5)Deanna J.
I've been on a string of going to Dave & Buster's for birthdays for the past few months, so I'm gonna need to rest up my skeeball arm before going back, but it's always a fun time with the right group of friends. A ridiculous amount of video games plus alcohol means that you don't realize how much you're spending per game - and it's probably for the best. There are a few games we obsessed over - the Trivia game is a good place to start if you've taken a group of friends. The game combines accuracy with speed of your answer, and if I could somehow sneak one game out of here and take it home with me, this would be it. Another camera-worthy one is the 'jump rope' game, which is a light that you have to 'jump' over, as it goes faster and faster. Our group of young professional 20-30 year olds stood in line behind two eight year old girls in pigtails - and i think we had more fun then they did. Minus the pulled hamstring. The food is ok - especially if you get something fried - and they have an entertaining cocktails menu with lots of 'made for spring break' looking drinks. Go to D&B for a date, a birthday party, or if you're in the mood to combine your drinking with a little more activity than dodging drunkards in crowded bars.
(4)Rebecca W.
This is a great place to visit if you want to make a night out of dinner and arcade games. No smoking is allowed in the building, which is a huge plus. The food is decent for the bar scene it is, and the arcade games are fun. It's a bit pricey, but they do have coupons in the paper and coupon books, so if you plan ahead and go when you can use a coupon, it's worth it. It's also best to save up your tickets (thru your power card) and get a great prize instead of some of the cheaper prizes. My favorite prize was a miniature air hockey table that actually has a battery operated air pack. The prizes are hit and miss, but they do have some decent things. I will definitely go back and add to my tickets saved up.
(3)Shawn M.
We went here for a "thing" for a friend who is deploying, it was also his wife's birthday, and kind of an anniversary party, too. So not really sure about what kind of "thing" it was. Service - Kinda sucked. We had a group of 9 people, so I am even grading this on a curve. Drinks were slow from the bar, pretty weak, too. The server took our orders, and when the food came out, while it was sloooow doing so, the food was decent. My fries were cold, but I wasn't going to complain as I was starving at this point. I had the Buffalo Bar Chicks - which was like a teensy piece of chicken with some wing sauce on a bun with a half slice of tomato and some wilty lettuce. It might have had some mayo on it, but I'm not sure. It was OK. One of the people in our party ordered soup. There aren't spoons in the little silverware rolls, so she asked for one. The server brought back another roll of silverware. She began to just drink her soup out of the bowl as it didn't look good for getting a spoon anytime soon. About halfway through drinking her soup, one of our partygoers got a spoon from the bar. A long tiny teaspoon, but it was better than nothing. So for the service, I give it a D. Atmosphere - There are a lot of kids that come to Dave & Busters. Tons more adults than kids. But it wasn't really a problem. The ambient noise tends to drown them out, so on that, it gets an A. Games - I'll admit I'm NOT a big fan of arcades. I don't generally play video games, but I got into skeeball and some of the other fun little games that they have. Trivia was a big one for me, and I wish I had discovered it sooner. Boyfriend got more out of the arcade experience. So he had fun, and for that I will give it a B. It's on the spendy side, but fun if you're into that sort of thing. Definitely a fun thing to do on a date, I don't know if I would go there again as a group thing though. Yeah, something for everyone, but the event was supposed to be to hang out with our friend before he deploys again. It wasn't really condusive to conversation where we were sitting. But that was really the only place that would accommodate 9 people + a baby.
(3)Hen A.
realized something new.....every dave and buster's is identical....from the entrance to the front bar....through the pooltables and shuffleboard....into the main restaurant/bar and main gaming room.....the layout is completely identical no matter what part of the country you are in.....
(3)Nigel B.
I actually went to the site in Marietta. This place is an adult playground. Similar to Jillian's but a bit nicer. Dave and Buster's features pool tables, a video game area, a bar and a 'nice' dining area. Its free to get in but people under 21 can't get in without an adult.
(4)
