Why families love it

  • Generous, shareable food portions and tasty desserts like the strawberry shortcake

Insider tips

  • Do not buy the food and game combo deal with the 30-minute card, as it restricts you to one play per game, enforces a delay between plays, and awards no tickets
  • Try the strawberry shortcake but expect a slightly tart sauce
  • A $20 budget can stretch to 8-10 games, including two rounds of VR

Good to know before you go

  • The 30-minute game card/meal deal package
  • Certain promotional deals have restrictive rules
  • Some games are perceived as a ripoff
Crowds
Can get busy, but staff manages the crowd well with fast service
Value
Good value for general play, where $20 covers 8-10 games including VR. However, the 30-minute promotional card is a poor value due to play restrictions and no ticket rewards.
Food
Offers shareable portions and full entrees

"This place is just SO fun! And honestly not that expensive, all things considered. I played about 8-10 games with $20, including a Dance Dance Revolution knock off, and two rounds of the VR shooter game. The food is fine and very shareable portion sizes. Staff there are super nice. Definitely great for a fun date night, family night, birthday, etc! Rapi was our amazing server and the female manager working was also fabulous!"

"Food was good. Drinks were good. Everything was good!! Haha. Service was fairly fast despite them being busy! Place was clean. A good experience overall. I recommend the strawberry shortcake. Warning tho! The sauce is a little tart but the overall sweetness balances it out :)"

"The mall may be empty but D&B is still awesome. Lots of games and great food Some of the games are a ripoff. Don't get one of the card/meal deals that get's you a 30 min card with an entree. You can only use it once per game, can't play the games too quickly, and you don't get any tickets."
