Good times here... great place to grab a beer and play some goofy games. The menu didn't look too great, so we skipped dinner (typical bar food) and just enjoyed a few beers and games! Much better than a typical bar.... you can play ski ball!
I love the concept of a Discovery Zone/Chuck E. Cheese type of place for adults. However, as is the case with those kids' joints, the food is pretty bad, the games are pricey and it's got an all-around weird vibe.
There are lots of pretty crazy games there, and I'm into that. They have Star Wars and Jurassic Park games, but they're all so expensive. You literally can't go in there with less than $50 and expect to have a good time (for more than half an hour).
Dave & Buster's has Cosmic Bowling, and it's cool to be able to have a few drinks and play video games. Problem is, D & B is at Opry Mills, and if you're like me, massive outlet malls aren't really your scene.
I just had the nastiest meal of my life at Dave & Buster's last night. I ordered the veggie burger (which also happens to be the only vegetarian option on the menu). Let's just say it's the worst one I have ever had. It came out completely dry with 3 pickle chips and 2 tomato slices on the side. But that was not nearly the worst part. The fries that came out with it (and every one else's fries at the table) smelled and tasted like melted plastic. chemically and gross! So the waiter brought out more fries which ended up being just as terrible. And then promised to find us a manager. Which he never did! Nor did he ever refill any of our drinks. And then he happily brought us our check at the end of the meal. The only thing that really bothers me is that had none of us noticed we would probably all be suffering food poisoning right now or something worse. And to our waiter it was just no big deal.
The only reason that I give D&B two stars is the fact that if you do go there and not eat anything (this may actually save your life!) you could by theory have a decent time. The games can be fun if you have some fun people with you. It definitely takes you back to your Chuck E. Cheese days.
This place seemed to me to be a Chuck E Cheeses for adults. There were still lots of kids running around, but it was mostly big people.
The food was SYSCO standard fare, and it took at least 25 minutes from the time we ordered til the time we were actually served. It was the middle of the week, and the place was not crowded, so there was no real explanation for the slow service.
The game room was expansive, and they had everything from Donkey Kong to Skee-Ball.. once you pile up all the tickets you've won, you have a choice of junk or more junk. I guess that is the way it has always been..
This place would be fantastic for a 10 year old's birthday party..
On the flip side - we were in the place about two hours, and we came out to the parking lot to find that my co-worker's rental car window had been smashed in, and things were stolen from the car. Turns out after talking with the security guard - this happens once a week in the Opry Mall parking lot, their camera security system sucks, and it didn't seem like they had any plans to make things better.
I looked around for an emergency call box or something to get security to the scene, and such a thing did not exist. I had to call 411 and get connected to the mall security department, and we finally got a security guard & police to show up and write up a report after half an hour of waiting in the cold..
I'll never find myself at a Dave & Busters again, unless I'm dragged along with the work crowd..
This is a grownup-kid's paradise.. where else can you go and play video games, drink a cocktail, and no kids running around bothering you and getting in the way of your game playing. Gotta love it. This D&B is right inside Opry Mills so thats nice too..
You all know damn right what Dave and Busters is (D&B). This is the single greatest place on earth when it comes to video game horse racing. We were searching for something to do in Nashville, but there was nothing. But then we found out that there was a D&B in the area. We were set on going there and finally we were able to find our way. It's about 15 mins on the north side of Nashville. The games are cheaper and there are less people there than the D&B that I normally go to.
Didn't have the food, but I'm never there for the food. The facilities for relief are not the greatest for the men (it kind of smells funny), but I hear they are great for women.
Anyway, I guarantee you'll fun out of things to do when you get to Nashville, so keep this place in mind.
Maybe I am just a scrooge, but this place is terrible. The games cost a fortune, the food stinks and the beer tastes watered down. I would have loved it when I was 13, but as an adult this place sucks.
I'm going to echo what Andrew said below on this one, but just to note: this is a former Jillian's location, and I don't think D&B has gotten to the restrooms as part of the remodel.
D&B's is a great place for all sorts of fun. They've got a huge sports bar area with countless televisions - you're likely going to find whatever game you're seeking somewhere in there.
The food is pretty good, but I don't think that is their biggest draw. The games are the big deal here: bowling, shuffleboard, billiards, and arcade games galore. Pick up a rechargeable card and start throwing away money.
The staff has always been friendly when I've visited. I do believe there is an age restriction during certain hours of the day (if not all day). If you're under 21, you've got to have a parent / guardian with you.
