"I’m not an arcade person at all. I’m not into screaming kids 🤣 But, my son wanted to come so we obliged. He enjoyed himself. As expected, it’s very expensive. The below was $200 worth of “tickets”🤦🏻♀️. I’m not in the market for throwing away money so I doubt we will come back. The drinks were good and the Bartender with the locs from Galveston was super nice! I can’t say the same for the other employees as the only one in sight was the person in the entrance. Yall have fun!"

"No, I didn’t eat off this plate, I just moved the strips off the cold fries. This is what I received as a chicken strip basket. The mangers told me this is the new portion. I didn’t ask for nuggets or a kids meal. I asked for a strip basket D&B should be shut down for this. They should have offered to remake it, but he didn’t. Poor customer service D&B! They should also post on the site that their remodeling and only 1/4 of the games are working………."
