In terms of music and machines, it's a good place to hang out, but I was hungry and they forgot my food, and when I reminded them, it was already cold. That's the only thing I didn't like, really!
We had a reservation for 20 people at 530pm. We didn't have our whole party present so they didn't seat us until 6. Not really a problem and it was our fault for being late. Ok. Jameson greeted the 10 of us who were present and then went to get waters, Dawn came to us about 10 mins later saying Jameson was leaving so she was our "real" server. Ok. We asked for waters and at that point she told us we'd only be able to get 4 checks for the whole table, a little annoying but ok. She put in waters and some Of our party were ready to order, she took their orders. I ordered nachos. We had water come out and the few starters our party had ordered, not my nachos but ok. 5 more of our group showed up and she took more orders. Then she never came back. Jameson came back maybe 30 minutes after we had seen Dawn. He explained she'd had an accident and was leaving so he was going to take care of us. We all explained what had been ordered and what was still missing., like my nachos. He too notes and left. Maybe another 20 minutes went by and two plates came out, no nachos. We asked the person who brought those plates for more water and just said he wasn't a server and left. Kinda rude but if it's not his job ok fine where is Jameson? Another server came to our table and explained she'd was actually going to take care of us. Never got her name but Ok. The last two people of our group joined our party she took their orders and then I told her I still hadn't gotten my nachos. She took notes and left. Maybe 10 mins later a manager in a blue shirt came by and again we explained all the missing drinks and refills and my nachos. One person even put in New order of sliders with him. The last plates came out, and then the sliders. And my nachos never came. I asked for a manager and he came out and we spoke for almost 10 mins. At that point it had been over two hours that I had waited for nachos, and not a single person in our party had gotten a refill in drinks. He listened, he promised my nachos would be out soon and came and took a refill order. My nachos finally came and I was the last person to eat. I ate alone while everyone just watched. 4 hours after our original reservation we all finally got checks and were able to pay, half our party was tired and honestly not willing to spend anymore money at this place and left. My husband wanted to play so l ask the restaurant if they'd be able to hold the cake I had bought, and we had cut up, in their fridge. They agreed and we played for maybe 90 minutes. We got our cake back and when we got home, I NOTICED SOMEONE HAD CUT THEMSELVES A PEICE OF OUR CAKE! I am embarrassed that I invited my family and friends to this disaster of a place. I don't think it was any one persons fault but over two hours for nachos is crazy. That manager was nice when I finally asked for him but to not have any initiative to check on our table and plates is unacceptable. Why did I have to ask for him to come check on his table of 20? When I had him one on one he was responsive but lacked the initiative to proactively take care of his guests. And to have someone help themselves to our custom cake was just a slap in the face! I wasn't going to leave a review, it was a tough night all around and a bad review is just unnecessary but to have them mess with my cake was just too much. If they'd had left my cake alone I wouldn't be contacting corporate but now I'm going to spend the energy to tell them about my disappointment in their orange location. Thanks for absolute bare minimum of service.
My family and I usually go to the Dave & Busters in Long Beach so my experience there was similar to what I experienced in Orange. Half of the employees are friendly and willing to help. The other half seems to not give a care in the world about their job or their responsibilities, but then again that’s what you can expect from most establishments nowadays. Our server was great, the food came quick. She checked on us multiple times, it was great. My only issue was with a “gamer” who I stood in front of waiting to check the points on our game card. Kayla or Karla or something of that nature clocked in on a computer and immediately jumped on her phone. I waited for about 5 minutes. Took a little video. Then waited another 5 minutes and finally had to walk away, but not before snapping another pic of this employee of the month! 👍🏽
I ordered a steak salad that took an hour to show up. We had to track down our server twice, and when he finally came back, he said it’d be “just 3 more minutes” because of the steak — even though I asked for it medium-well. Another 30 minutes passed before the salad finally arrived. It was comped (thankfully), but it was just okay — with massive chunks of blue cheese that were overwhelming. We later moved to another area for drinks. A different server took our order; 4 of us asked for waters along with a couple alcoholic drinks. He only brought the alcohol, no water at all. At that point, we were just done and decided to leave. Really disappointed with both the service and the food. Won’t be back anytime soon.
The orange location is the one we usually go to for half price on game on Wednesday. Food and drinks were discount after 10pm when we went so it was nice cheap eat. Place is well maintained, clean. Staff was friendly and very helpful. The bartender who serves us in the gaming area made excellent drinks and great service ( also for $5.50 thats a steal!). They had a lot of new updates and games in the last couple weeks now so it’s more fun goin in as we can try out new games. This is my fav classic one in the photo thats part of the new games. The winning zone have plenty of prizes but not rotating very quick we see the same stuff almost everytime we went for a while lol. The ticketing system is also very generous so u could earned a lot of tickets if u know wat and which one to play to earn. Overall 10/10. Been there multiple times and will continue to come back! 💕💕
