What's on the Dave & Buster's Kids Menu

The menu focuses on familiar favorites, sensible portions, and enough variety to give every child a comfortable choice.

• Chicken Tenders: Hand-breaded (not frozen) and served with fries. They are a dependable choice for picky eaters, with ketchup, honey mustard, or ranch available on the side.
• Kids Cheese Pizza: A personal-sized pizza with mozzarella and marinara. It is simple, familiar, and portioned for kids.
• Mac & Cheese: Classic comfort food for even the pickiest eaters. It comes as a main dish with a side.
• Kids Burger (with cheese optional): A junior-sized version of the smashed burger, served with fries. It is a good choice for kids ready to move beyond tenders.
• Grilled Chicken: A lighter option for parents who want to move beyond fried food. Grilled chicken breast comes with a choice of side.
• Kids Pasta: Simple pasta with butter and parmesan, or marinara. It suits kids who prefer soft, mild flavors.
