From my first time experience today, this place is pretty cool. My boyfriend and I came here when it was very slow, and we were able to play any games we wanted without tons of people crowding around. We are both much more used to Gameworks because we always go to the one in Schaumburg, but honestly, this Dave and Buster's is very new, clean, and convenient, so we will most likely start coming here a lot more.
The only thing I can really base this place on is Gameworks, so some of my review will be based in comparison since I've never been to any other Dave and Buster's location before. The games here are a lot of fun, and although many are the same as Gameworks, this Dave and Buster's location has many shooting games and much more kinesthetic games. They have a cool Jurassic World 4D game which is pretty badass, but it sucks that you have to pay money for it and that there is no way to use credits from your power card. They have the generic high-priced items, such as game systems, but they have some cute stuffed animals and things for cheaper. Another annoying thing about this place is that I wish the games allowed us to tap our power card instead of insert them. Many games said they couldn't read my card which was annoying, and tapping the card is also a lot faster than inserting, too.
As for my experience at the bar, it started off pretty negative because we sat down at a booth, and nobody came by us at all. After 10 minutes, we sat at the bar, and the bartender Matt came by and helped us. He gave us waters and brought us our drinks quickly, mine being a delicious Original Adult Snow Cone ($4.50) and my boyfriend's being a delicious chocolate shake ($3.99). Prices were honestly surprisingly cheap in my opinion.
Foodwise, we only tried the Pretzel Dogs today, but they were perfectly cooked and seasoned. I would definitely come back to try their entrees.
Overall, this place was a lot of fun and I will definitely be back soon.
