Editorial Review for Dave & Buster's – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
This massive entertainment complex lures customers in with its arcade, then keeps them there by way of a spacious eatery serving pizza, pasta, burgers and finger food. Classic games like billiards, skeeball and shuffleboard are balanced by electronic counterpoints such as Ms. Pac-Man, Centipede and virtual-reality simulators that re-create an 18-wheeler ride or a Star Trek voyage. Of the two full bars, one comes with a 20-screen videodome designed for armchair quarterbacks.

October 21, 2007 Sunday night we went to Dave and Busters as a family night for my youngest son's 20th Birthday. We walked in and the Bar area was not full but the design was really tight with chairs and the bar, not a lot of walking area. the T.V.'s were all above the bar but at an angle where you had to sit funny in your chair to watch the football game on. The we walked into the game area and the noise they had pumped in there was actually really to loud. It blasts you out till you get adjusted to it. Once you wonder thru all the games and lights you find a machine to buy a card to load with money so you can play in the adult arcade. We played a bunch of different games, but the noice level seemed to be increased even though there were maybe 20 people in the whole room playing games. They made it sound like there were 100's of people in there. I realize they need to make it seem fun but each machine was drowning out the machine next to it. We did the bowling and the horse racing next to me was so loud I couldn't even talk to the person standing next to me. It was fun to go in and see, and the prices weren't bad, but this location needs to figure it out. The people coming there do like to talk, heck this is Minnesota so the need to measure the sound a bit. Winters coming and people do like to do things indoors, so make this place nice to be at. Not sure if will go back...maybe if really bored this winter.
Pros: some place new and different
Cons: need to tone down the sound a bit so people can have fun with the people they came with

I used to live in Denver where they have two Dave & Busters, so when I found out that Minneapolis was finally getting one I was pretty excited! I have visited the Dave & Busters in Maple Grove three times and have been disappointed each time. The first time I went we waited 45 minutes for a table when we were told it would only take 10 minutes. Once we were seated our server gave us the cold shoulder and acted like they didn't want to even wait on us. Assuming we just had bad luck that day, we returned again a few weeks later to find the SAME horrible service. We felt completely ignored by our server and had random charges on our bill of items we DID NOT order. There were other tables around us complaining about the same bad service! The last time I went I brought my younger cousin who was 20 and visiting from out of town. The front door man repremanded me right away and told me that, "I needed to keep an eye on my young guest in case they get in trouble." I'm 35 years old and trying to entertain a member of my family and this guy acted like we just escaped out of juvenile hall!! We ate dinner and when we were finishing our server spilled sauce all over my expensive coat. It was an accident but she didn't offer to pay for dry cleaning or offer anything for that matter!! The manager came to my table and asked if I wanted him to try and wash the sauce off my coat with soda---are you kidding me??!! I have spent money at this establishment in hopes of my visits to become better but I will guarantee I will NOT come back again. Please do NOT waste your time coming here!
Pros: None
Cons: Customer service, careless servers, over-priced food, etc.
