What parents say
"Dave&Busters is still an amazing place for family and friends to go hang out in large amounts of people. A party of sixteen was easy for this gaming restaurant to accommodate. Great service even during a busy evening for a Saturday. They still have the great old school games like air hockey. Three different versions of the free throw basket ball game is still available. The lowest game card they offer is for 29 dollars. This includes the sales tax. I think it's still a excellent place to hang out in groups."

"Our server was super nice, the place was clean and everything was perfect. We all enjoyed our food and apps and played for a little bit before it closed. Only complaint was the fish was a little chewy, but honestly whatever it’s likely just frozen mass distributed fish. Was still 10/10 service and I’d go back again and eat the same things."

"This location is at Tempe Marketplace. Surrounded by shopping and dining. Target. Best Buy. And so much more. Near ASU and Tempe Town Lake. Always visit when in town. Bring all my business partners and associates and they definitely enjoy D&B as well."
