I've eaten here three times.. Dinner was really noisy and crowded, but lunch was pleasant. While nothing to get really excited about, the food was tasty. They have a lot of salads, burgers, chicken dishes. They had a big selection of appetizers-- stuffed mushrooms were really good. The soups were rather bland. They tend to rush you thru the meal, but of course most people are on their way to the movies or to the game room anyway.

linda--
unless you are a food snob (maria?), dave and busters food is totally acceptable (some of it's even quite good--not your typical family restaurant fare). however, people go there for the "adult carnival/arcade" atmosphere: video and fairway games and general silliness. if you have kids with you, and/or are into that kind of entertainment, it's worth a stop, particularly if there is nothing like it in the UK. you'll have the rest of your three weeks in oahu to eat fabulous food.

Dave and Busters seem more suitable for kids to play games.
Food tastes like something prepackaged out of a supermarket freezer.
My advice, if you have kids,,,,eat elsewhere and just go to Dave and Busters for the arcade.
If you don't have kids,,,,why even go there?

nmgrrl: food snob? think not. just won't eat pre-packaged, frozen, chain-style restaurant food that America has sadly become. don't consider myself a snob to want freshly prepared food that isn't the same from the restaurant down the street. and I stand by my original review of dave and busters - it is crap.

I have no kids. I am an unmarried 29 year old guy. I happen to like Dave and Buster's. The food is not gourmet, but acceptable and much better than McDonald's or Burger King. I don't go to D&B's for the food, I go for the experience. The video and fair games are not just fun for kids. Not to mention they have things liek virtual reality golf! It is a great place to go for a first date or with a group. For Linda, fairway games are things like throwing balls to win a stuffed animal or shooting galleries where you win a toy. If you enjoy things like this and don't have it in the UK, I say go for it!

Would someone be so kind as to simply DESCRIBE Dave and Buster's to Linda??!!
Linda, it's a huge family/American food restaurant, attached to a VERY huge video game arcade area. The food is incidental to the "event", and the food is basic but decent, for a chain. The atmosphere is fun and noisy. In the arcade there can be hundreds of games, from virtual reality games you can climb inside, to "movies" that make you feel like you're in a race car, to the typical video games you'd find anywhere. You win tickets and cash them in for cheesy prizes. In the restaurant part, there are also pool tables, and probably lots of parties. It's fun depending on your age and group. For someone from out of the country, I'd say it's worth checking out as a typical over-excess fun American experience!
