What parents say
"Left a sports bar in the area to come here and sit at their bar. As expected on a Saturday night, they had a big crowd. Able to snag two seats and were immediately greeted by our bartender. She was super friendly, efficient, and straight to the point. She even took the time to see if they had any sparkling wine in the back of the restaurant, which they did. I appreciated the effort. Ordered a couple of drinks and some apps and had a great time. I'm definitely coming back here just for drinks as it beats going to a super busy sparts bar with no seating. Located in Concord Mills mall with plenty"

"I wanted to take a moment to share our incredible experience hosting our company meeting at Dave & Buster's for the third year in a row. A special thank you to Denise, the event coordinator, who did an amazing job behind the scenes helping me plan everything to perfection. She was so organized and made sure every detail was accounted for, ensuring our event went off without a hitch. Once again, Dave & Buster's absolutely knocked it out of the park! The event space was perfect, providing the ideal environment for our meeting. The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. A special "

"My family and I love a good Wednesday night at Dave and Busters because of the specials! I had no idea they also did karaoke, it was definitely a good time. Our server Alicia was covering the bar and our decent sized party, and she was amazing! Definitely recommend hanging out here on a Wednesday night."
