    My family and I had a great time, it was my first time there we had a birthday party so you know it can be kind of hectic with bigger parties, the waitress was very friendly and he did an absolutely great job and he had several parties to cater to. The food came out promptly they have their team from the back that brings the food out. The salmon was absolutely amazing. And we also had this sticky ribs which was very tasty as well. Afterwards we played video games and had great cocktails, I would definitely visit again. If your are wanting to have great food and a great time this is your place to go with family.

    Due to so many parties going on, the food was cold and service was not great. I asked to have my son’s fries replaced and they still were cold. They dropped them off and left like they didn’t just drop off cold fries. We only saw our server one time. The blood Mary in the photo was okay. I think they need to do better even when they are busy. I liked Dave and buster’s in Philly, but here was not that great. If you go do not go when they are busy. Go as soon as they open or right before they close.

    The Brandon Dave and Buster's is great! The staff was friendly and helpful. It was busy but not too crowded on a Friday night. The food here is surprisingly good. We had the pretzel (which is huge), the shrimp dip, ribs appetizer, and churros. All were delicious. I also had a ceasar salad that was excellent. A very fun night!

    The mashed potatoes We're good. The French fries, we're all right. The medium Well, steak was overcoat. .The Hawaiian chicken crunch was a bit of a disappointment. The kids love there cheese pizza. My daughter enjoyed her hamburger. The kids really enjoyed the games. Very loud environment.

    An important note for life: always keep in touch with your inner child! It doesn’t matter how old you get, you can always keep that inner child fed! And if you need a little boost yourself, going to a Dave & Busters will surely unlock that special part of you once again and completely refresh your perspective! This was an unbelievable amount of fun. Dave & Buster’s is the new and improved, modern, adult (ish) version of Chuck-E-Cheese, and it’s a blast. I was so impressed with all of the sleek, electronic arcade games they have here. There are still a lot of classics like MarioKart, skeeball, basketball and others along with newer games like Temple Run, Candy Crush, Angry Birds, even an ace throwing game, and endless more. You can also grab a bite to eat while you’re here, and the food is decent! I got a fun drink from the bar and the bartender was so cool. The whole atmosphere is mood lifting and enjoyable. This location was clean and one I’ll certainly come back to!

    The food was good, I ordered the salmon over jasmine rice with green beans and extra Cajun butter. Do not order the Cauliflower as it was super hard & zero seasoning for taste. The games were fun too but you'll need at least 400 tickets to get a few games. We did 200 for our little one and ran out quickly as the games are pretty high. Lowest one I saw was 6.5 but it was a good game. Also they have wipes and sanitizer bottles around so it made it easier to wipe down games before you used them.

    When in with my family and we had a blast. I stated at the Star Wars Game, then did mostly ticket games. Idk how but I walked out with 1020 tickets. Just by playing while having fun 😊 , great way to spend a evening indoors . When the Florida weather was not cooperating it says 90% chance of rain . So this was a excellent 💡 idea!!!

We ordered Burgers, pizza, drinks, wings, fried cauliflower omg they were so delicious I didn’t enjoy my pasta it was awful lol but everything else was on point!!!! I’ll definitely be visiting again. Thank you to the Management as well

    Second year in a row that we have had our company holiday party here. This year was better than last with the private room, food service, and great staff!!! Everyone had a great time, the unlimited card play, and token option was perfect!

    Relaxed, fun, family atmosphere. Lots of options for sports viewing while dining. They have several huge TVs in the dining area. Large bar area near there too. There's so many games for kids and adults, even a standing photo booth near the restrooms. We bought out play card and loaded it in the front reception area.

  • 5/5 Shayna S. 8 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Great Service! From being greeted at the front door to getting a decent table in the game room and being waited on. Jesse gave exceptional customer service and always checked on us just to see if we needed anything plenty of times. The drinks, especially the lemonades, were awesome. All I got were appetizers and the boneless wings and Korean ribs were excellent. Very filling portions took most home. Of course my kid loved the games. music and prizes (she left with quite a few). Even though it was a busy Saturday night, drinks and food came out a lot quicker than I expected and Jesse didn't rush us to flip the table so definitely s great place to lounge and enjoy the ambience. Definitely will recommend this one to my family and friends that come into town to visit ! I am definitely going back, no question.

    First time visiting since pandemic. My experience was actually pretty good, I was little skeptical first but it was very spacious and large enough to handle good amount of people. Menu was still good and open table with barrier where I don’t need to worry about next table. We had fun.

    This place is awesome. Great food some amazing drinks. You can have cocktails eat yummy food and be a kid again by playing some video games. If you’re not in the video games, I still wouldn’t count them out because we didn’t go have a seat at the bar and have some drinks. If you need a place to take the kids let them run around and play games while you enjoy some adult beverages.

    I came here with my teenage daughter on a Wednesday for half-priced games. We probably spent about an hour and a half in there. It was a bit crowded and kids were running around all over the place. The gift shop mainly had smaller items and nothing too exciting for us to redeem.

    Delicious, fresh food. Fun atmosphere. Great location right off the 75 in Brandon, FL. Attentive wait staff. So many games to enjoy from ski ball to Mario kart to connect 4. Every game we tried was working properly. Adults and kids had a great time. Will be coming back.

  • 2/5 Boost And R. 2 years ago on Google
    We would’ve had a great time with our family of it wasn’t because we made a reservation to dine in and after waiting 35 minutes we’re were told our reservation had expired because they only hold it for 5 minutes and we got there in 7 minutes. Needless to say most games take a couple minutes and walking back to the restaurant place also takes a few minutes working your way through the crowds. In conclusion 5 minutes reservation hold is just ridiculous. We ended up walking out disappointed and going to Chick-fil-A instead. On that note, Chips cost per game is much higher than its ever been so we blew through 200 chips in just a few games.

    Really fun place to go!! You can sit down and eat, their food was delicious! They had a bar also. Then go play games. They have a fun of games to choose from. It was a great time, everybody had fun. We had ages 4-48 and everyone enjoyed it.

  • 4/5 Waldo Carbo J. 2 years ago on Google
    The place was great but the wait staff was severely understaffed in the dining room. The bar and the games were great. It was raining heavily that day so it was a great place to be, unfortunately, everyone else thought so too so the lines for everything were long. The food itself was also very good. I love the giant pretzel (cinnamon sugar should be an option though).

    We went to Dave and Buster’s in Tampa Florida not to play games, but to eat an early dinner. The food was great as well as the atmosphere. Great place to watch sporting events as they had all the NFL games on live.(we watched the Buccaneers) Definitely recommend not only coming here to play fun games, but to also try out their tasty food options.

  • 5/5 Emilee B. 4 months ago on Google • 29 reviews
    it was very nice! nobody was paying attention to the arcade though...there were some spills near wires and they stayed there until we left (1hr 30mins) which is a little bit of a hazard. I remember waiting 20mins for that halo game but the kids there kept buying it so we couldn't use it. I enjoyed the food and didn't notice the size! It was a nice experience and very fun nonetheless.

  • 3/5 Mags J. 2 months ago on Google • 10 reviews New
    Came here for the first time with my partner for my birthday. I had never been to a D&B’s and I’ve been wanting to go to an arcade. We ordered food - the chicken potstickers (not pictured since we ate them so fast) were new on the menu and were actually really good. Then on to the nachos that really couldn’t be called nachos if you can tell my the picture. There was a sprinkle of toppings on there. We settled on the salmon to have “something healthy” with the drinks (which were decently good by the way) and the “nachos” we had. Although we both ordered the exact same dish - you can see how different the proportions are. Mine had the seasoning butter conveniently left off and I almost didn’t want to mention it but thankfully my partner did and the waitress brought out my own little small container - which come to find out as the source of seasoning for the entire dish or else it would have been incredibly bland. On the the games - some were non working which is to be expected for machinery. But you had kids running around without regard, grabbing balls and playing games that they had not paid for but were just playing with. We patiently waited when faced with these issues but it’s something to be aware of should you wish to visit. The lady at the prize area was not the nicest when we brought up the issue with our remaining points that we didn’t realize we had a large number of until they told us after we had processed the prize transactions because the number when we checked in the screen was different that what the other clerk saw. Noted for the future but we had to leave because it was entirely too hot with everyone just standing in that prize space with all the lights. Upon arriving and departing, there was heavy police activity right in the parking lot - lights flashing and lots of young adults and kids involved. Seems like the norm there and the teens are just crawling all over this place. Overall a heavy “okay” experience. We’re only going back because of the remaining gift points - may be a better trip during a non-peak time like during the school year and in the dead middle of the week or early as soon as they open. But I wouldn’t be surprised if I just counted it as a loss and never come back to this location. Our visit was on Feb 3rd at 7:30-10:30 approx. we had a reservation.

    We loved being able to eat some yummy food and then enjoy some fun games with our kiddos. Our waitress, Nubianna, was super attentive and helped us with our game card purchase.

    Best family place I experienced so far. All staff were very polite and attentive, drinks were served without even asking. Julian gave us outstanding service, food was excellent and he always made sure we got served. The lady in the front guided us about the games area. Thank you so much, Doll! Whole place even bathrooms clean and neat. Overall, best restaurant service ever. Excellent prices. Everything very affordable. We had so much fun. We'll go again for sure. Outstanding! Thank you so much, Sweethearts!

  • 5/5 Princess L. 2 years ago on Google
    The drinks were good, the food was good, we overall had a really good night! 750 chips lasted each of us 2/3 hours! Definitely not cheap but is a good night out ever cheap?

  • 5/5 StephanUrkel 7 months ago on Google
    I hadn't gone to this location in a couple of years. Not because of Covid, but the service was horrible and the food was cold. I'm not sure what changed, but I'm a fan now. The service was on-point and I had the Korean BBQ ribs and Fish and Chips - both were perfection. Big win... and I've found a new, fun place to bring the kids

  • 5/5 Keri A. 1 year ago on Google
    They've got really good food, we loved the truffle fries appetizer. They have SO many more games than they used to, including a really cool VR game (costs like $5 extra I believe). The prices on games have gone up though. Overall we had a blast.

  • 3/5 Gina L. 1 year ago on Google
    Food was decent about the same price as most chain restaurants. The only gripe we have is that it felt like romper room instead of a sports bar/adult arcade. Kids running wild hitting into you, parents letting them run wild and employees not saying a word about it. I understand it’s a family establishment but I expect the employees to say something to the parents who let their children run through there hitting into people knocking drinks over or out of your hand. In the ticket exchange area a boy was slinging a slinky into the air and almost hit my adult son in the eye with it and not one person said anything and no parent around.

  • 5/5 Diana D. 1 year ago on Google
    We made lunch reservations and needed accommodations for a member of our party. The hostess was exceptional. Wait staff had no issue serving us out-of-the-way. We were checked on and served as timely as anyone else. The table we were seated at was perfect and helped ensure that all of us had a great time. The food was delicious; hot when it arrived and cooked perfectly. We stayed and played, and found the amount of people in the arcade area on a weekend at lunchtime was uncrowded and less. overwhelming than busier times. We will definitely be back soon.

  • 4/5 Der_Akademiker G. 9 months ago on Google
    great location, great Service, VR-ride by far to expensive (u have to pay separately) and too short, prices for meals by far to high, slices of Pizza 🍕 very small, and: ordered fries, first serve was cold, second not even better and/but took over 15 minutes... the Team said the Kirchen is in trouble at the Moment.....

  • 3/5 T R. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the games/prizes.. but the staff is where they need some help. Staff have attitude and aren’t welcoming. The food was great. The wings were a little greasy. Bathroom was clean. I suggest going to Orlando Dave and Busters! Staff there is always kind

  • 4/5 Jaymee J. 10 months ago on Google
    Server Jeanna was kind and just attentive enough during such a busy hour. TVs all on great channels. Clean environment. Cleaning constantly in dining area, billiards and around arcade

  • 4/5 Stephanie W. 10 months ago on Google
    Great place to bring kids. There are lots of games to be played. There is a place to eat and drink while the kids play. They have a pretty good selection of food on their menu and a full bar.

  • 3/5 Mr. R. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here for dinner and we had a dirty table, balloons from a party they recently had all over, and our server checked on the tables around us many times while we got checked on once. Getting their attention to get the bill was impossible. The tables around us arrived after us, got the food before us, and left before us. After 15 minute! I finally agreed with my more than angry girlfriend that we should just get up and find someone. We won’t be eating here again. The food…was pretty good though. So if you don’t mind a dirty table, loud noise (as would be expected), and the possibility of a terrible server, definitely come here. If you have kids? Totally come here. HOWEVER, for a quick bite to eat and some games? Definitely probably worth it.

  • 5/5 Peggy O. 10 months ago on Google
    This is a great place to go, especially if you like arcade games! Our dinner was delicious and service was great. Even though we were in the far back corner it was still a bit noisy for conversation, so that's the only reason I didn't give a 5 ⭐. I guess I forgot to take photos of the food, but here is the arcade.

  • 5/5 Buster B. 11 months ago on Google
    With a name like that, it has to be great, but then I'm probably biased--Ha! Seriously, this was my first visit and the food and atmosphere are great. Multiple giant TV's make it easy to watch sports, and whether you have kids in your group, or are a kid at heart yourself, there are a lot of arcade games to play and keep you entertained. As you might expect, weekday afternoons are not very busy, which is when I went, and you may want to consider that if you want to play the games with essentially no waiting. I will definitely be back in the future and recommend this place.

  • 3/5 Karren A. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is fun.lots of games. The bar service is slow. Bartenders do not look very happy or friendly. Food and drinks are ok

  • 3/5 VPGJR 10 months ago on Google
    My sons and I enjoyed the many large screen TVs that inhabit the walls of the Dave and Busters restaurant. The prices at the restaurant were ok, but very good when compared to Dave and Buster’s game room prices. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger which was better than I thought it would be. It was a drier than I like, but overall a good burger. My sons enjoyed the kids meals they ordered (pepperoni pizza and cheeseburger). The fries were decent as well. It was a nice experience for my sons and I to eat among all the lights, flashes, bells and whistles that come with Dave and Busters, but I probably wouldn’t do it more than once. The restaurant was understaffed, but the staff their did their best. However, the service was one of the biggest issues. We only saw our waiter once or twice and had track him down a couple times.
