Finding a family friendly restaurant with games can make planning dinner easier for everyone. Parents can settle in with a full menu and a proper drink, while kids and teenagers have room to play, compete, and explore. Dave & Buster's brings dining, arcade entertainment, and sports viewing together under one roof, turning a family meal into an outing everyone can enjoy
Dining Room, Arcade Floor, and Sports Bar in One Building
- Full Dining Room: Enjoy sit-down service, a full menu, handcrafted cocktails, craft beer, and non-alcoholic options. It is a comfortable choice for parents who want more than fast food.
- Arcade Floor: Choose from 100+ games, including racing simulators, virtual reality, classic redemption games, and multiplayer sports challenges. There are options for toddlers, teenagers, and adults.
- Sports Bar Section: Multiple screens show every major sport, including college and international games. Parents can follow the action while the kids play nearby.
- Prize Redemption Center: Bring everyone back together at the end of the visit. Families can combine their tickets and choose prizes as a group.
A Menu Built for Real Family Dining
- Chef-Crafted Adult Menu: Choose from smashed burgers, hand-tossed flatbreads, wings, shareable appetizers, and full entrees. The menu gives adults plenty of satisfying choices.
- Dedicated Kids Menu: Kids can choose chicken tenders, mini pizzas, mac & cheese, or lighter options such as grilled chicken and fruit sides. Portions are sized with families in mind.
- Full Bar Program: Order craft cocktails, local and national craft beer, seasonal wine selections, or mocktails while the kids enjoy the games.
- Reservations Available: Book ahead for weekends and holidays to skip the wait. Reservations make Dave & Buster's a convenient choice for families and groups.
How the Digital Game Card Changes Family Play
- One Card Per Player: Each family member gets an individual card loaded with credits. There are no tokens to lose and no paper tickets to manage.
- Combine Tickets Later: At the end of the visit, families can pool ticket winnings onto a single account and choose prizes together.
- Track Play Time: Parents can add credits from their phones, monitor spending, and set limits for each player. That makes it easier to keep the visit on budget.
- Real Prize Selection: The prize center features electronics, board games, plush toys, and collectibles that everyone will be excited to take home.
For a birthday, a weeknight outing, or a rainy Saturday, Dave & Buster's brings food and fun together in one easy-to-plan destination. Reserve a table, load the Power Cards, and let each family member choose how they want to play.
