    Frustrating service overall food was just okay. Accidentally booked the reservation for Camino del rio location at 5:15 and showed up at 5:10 at the Carlsbad location. Went on wait list. Then booked the correct location at 5:30. Host told me I still had to wait. Did not honor any reservation. Not only that but the person who showed up 15 minutes after me as a wait list was seated first. Did not get seated until 5:40 ish. Server did not take order til 10 minutes after. Service was not up to par. Super Frustrated. Food was ok. I should’ve of just waited for cheese cake factory. Only reason I came were for the games. Very limited food choices and drinks. what happened to the menu? Do not recommend this location!

    Our waitress was the highlight, unfortunately I forgot her name but she was from the Bay Area and was AMAZING! Food was good, drinks were even better.

    D&B was extremely wonderful from the start at the front desk throughout our leaving. The entire staff was very helpful & friendly! We had a Birthday party for 11 (4 kids) & everyone complimented on Dave & Busters was the BEST!

    We sat at the table for 10 minutes before the waitress showed up. We asked for a high chair or booster chair for our child, which never came. Food was brought by a runner and we were never given napkins or silverware. The kids Mac and cheese was worse than Kraft Out of the Box.

    The service was atrocious. Took over 30 mins to get drinks. Food was cold and sitting there for too long.

    Great service, food was delicious, and the half off food was a great deal for me and my family. Please do pop up sales of half off food throughout the year.
