What parents say
"Very large space with lots of hosts but just one server for a large area. Food is good value for the price however greasy. The happy hour drinks are nice and hit the spot. Arcade games are very expensive not sure why. I didn’t see many people paying 3 to 4 dollars to play a game. The sport bar area is where all the action is surrounded by tvs. Nice to hang out but not f you have time go to the one in Milpitas. It has a nicer layout and inside entrance."

Wings and nachos are okay, nothing spectacular. Large parking lot with plenty of spots. Staff was efficient and friendly."

"I never thought I'd come back after spending over $100 with the Wife and kids. Just let me tell you , doing the math time and money I made out breaking more than even on both time and money. The FAMILY had a great time and the food was perfect. During this summer took my lil one here 3 to 5 times and my points added up to lots of free games and 50% off my bill 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Latest free item was a 4 level reward, 1 $16.49 burger or sandwich ❤️ More things good to say about D&B but you can do the reading yourself on other ppl who left reviews. Thank you and don't forget to spread the news ,it's a fam"
