Some say that Dave & Buster’s is the grownups’ version of Chuck E. Cheese, that is, you come
to D&B to play video games and pig out on pizza, burgers, hot dogs, or other fast foods.
But Dave & Buster’s offers so much more: an unlimited variety of drinks (for adults,
of course), sportscasts, video games, and sometimes, a pool table, blackjack tables
or a bowling alley depending on which location you're at. So here are the top 10 untold truths
about Dave & Buster’s.
Dave & Buster’s Adds the Impossible Burger
Dave & Buster’s not only update their games to keep up with the times but they also update
their menu selections. Now that more and more restaurants are offering vegetarian and vegan
options to their customer’s, D&B did not want to be left behind so they recently added
the “impossible burger” to their lineup. This plant-based burger can replace the beef
patty in any of the burger items on the menu and be topped the way you like. While adding
cheese may eliminate it from the vegan category, it does help fill the void for a meat-free
option. According to Dave & Buster’s this burger is all flavor, all protein, and zero
cholesterol. So it definitely beats out your typical meat burger if your doctor has you
watching your cholesterol. As for the flavor? We’ll let you be the judge. And why the
impossible burger name? Well, it could be that it is impossible to tell the difference
between this and a regular burger or maybe it’s because it tastes so impossibly good
that you just can’t pass one up.

type. Which means that old Pac-Man consoles are out, but Wii-like games, car races,
and flight simulators are definitely in. Dave & Buster’s also has a ginormous cache of
exclusive games. Just some of these are Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots and Jurassic Park
virtual reality. If by any chance, you have any arcade game ideas to suggest, just let

A Dave & Buster’s Dress Code To Tune Out the Gang Mentality
To avoid unpleasant surprises, I’m telling you now, when in Dave & Buster’s be sure
to wear clothes and shoes—that is, no flip-flops. That’s the general rule in these parts.
So you’re probably asking, what about distressed jeans? The answer is that it’s better to
err on the side of caution. Dave & Buster’s management reserves the right to send you
home if you show way too much skin; you might as well avoid wearing jeans riddled with holes,
no matter how sexy they look on your person. To avoid the trouble of being separated from
your peers, dress sensibly. My informant says that soiled or dirty clothes may be a big
no-no for some Dave & Buster’s establishments. So if you work in the construction industry
and you plan to head to Dave & Buster’s straight from work, think again. You can be
turned back at the gates. Gang-related insignia and discriminatory advertising on your person
or clothing are likewise not allowed. And the biggest no-no of all: sunglasses; you
can’t wear these inside and expect to earn the hosts’ and servers’ good graces. Knowing
this, you’ll realize why you’re being frowned upon if you insist on going against
the grain. Feel free to explain that you’re trying to hide your lizard eyes, but Dave
& Buster’s reserves the right to turn you down when it comes to this matter.
Some Dave & Buster’s Have an 11:00 PM Curfew
Just saying; I don’t want you to get to the nearest Dave & Buster’s only to get
disappointed. So here’s the scoop. Please bear in mind that on Fridays and Saturdays,
some Dave & Buster’s have an 11:00 PM curfew. Even for those Dave & Buster’s that don’t
have such restriction in place, you may still be required to be accompanied by someone
who’s at least 25 years old to get inside the premises. It’s nothing personal. Just
the restaurant’s way of helping you grow responsibly after you’re twenty. So for
the time being, don’t forget to bring a valid photo ID when you’re planning to spend
the night at Dave & Buster’s. Do check your wallet again just to make sure you don’t
become a hindrance to the rest of the friends in the car.
Dave & Buster’s: An Idea 10 Years in the Making With a 34-Year Homecoming
Dave & Buster’s was founded in 1982 in Dallas, Texas by David O. Corriveau and James "Buster"
Corley, entrepreneurs extraordinaire who that fateful year stopped looking out their respective
office windows. It finally dawned on the two that joining forces would be one giant leap
for mankind. You see, Dave owned Cash McCool's, a burgeoning game parlor in Little Rock, Arkansas.
On the other hand, Buster owned as you might have guessed, Buster’s, a slick bar and
restaurant. Now the staring out the window scenario would go on for an odd ten-year period
before the two finally realized that their adjacent establishments had something in common.
After all, guests seemed to float by between the two locations on most nights. Had Dave
& Buster’s hired a private detective, the sleuth would have discovered the naked truth
at a much faster rate than the dynamic duo. An idea in cowboy country was brewing and
it was only a matter of time before the concept would achieve full fruition. Thus, was how
the idea of a play complex, bar, and full-service restaurant all rolled into one was born. And
when you come to think of it, how time flies! After the first one opened in 1982 in Dallas,
Texas it wasn’t until 2016 when they opened the first Dave & Buster’s in Little Rock,
where the idea first originated, 34 years in the making, but it didn’t feel that way,
now, or did it? Oh and about the name, Dave and Buster had to perform a proverbial coin
toss to ensure that the order of their names was respected.
An Arcade for Grownups and Half-Price Wednesdays
at Dave & Buster’s
If you’re in Canada, where many Dave & Buster’s also thrive, Half-Price Wednesdays is definitely
something you can add to your personal thrift files. This goes hand-in-hand with KFC’s
Tooney Tuesday. Congrats, you now have two days to save some serious bucks while you
splurge on the rest of the weekdays. Sounds like a plan! After Applebee’s Two Can Dine
for $20 offer, Dave & Buster’s Half-Price Wednesdays are the next best thing to restaurant
discount heaven. To make this work for you, just be sure to put a big X mark on your calendar
for every week that it happens. That way, you can save enough money if you and your
friends still plan to head out to Las Vegas in the near future. Hit two birds with one
stone by ordering Lotsa Loaded Tots. For the un-Dave-&-Buster’s-initiated, this meal
consists mostly of potato tots—doesn’t ring a bell? Think Tater Tots from the H.
J. Heinz Company. They are deep-fried, grated potatoes with a cylindrical shape and with
that crispy-on-the-outside look. But Dave & Buster’s takes the French fries or 7-Eleven
wedges alternative to the next level by adding spicy cheese, crispy bacon, green onions and
last but the least, a generous dash of Sriracha ketchup. Definitely one serious break away
from the Chuck E. Cheese Mold. If you love potato tots the Dave & Buster’s way, you’re
all set for Wednesdays.
At 117 Outlets Thus Far, Dave & Buster’s Is the Bromance Capital of North America
Tired of going to a paintball complex or there simply isn’t one in your area? Try Dave
& Buster’s instead. You can’t be paintballing around there, but for sure, with the sheer
complexity of the Dave & Buster’s gaming environment, you can still find something
that suits you and your friend. Just don’t forget, sporting a play gun on your visit
isn’t only in bad taste, it’s outright dangerous. And why think about all these social
taboos when you can join forces with robots in a game at Dave & Buster’s or a pack of
dinosaurs in a stampede for that matter. If running up and down the stairs is too much
for your age, you can try more traditional arcade games at the restaurant. But if your
youth and stamina are ready for some mountain climbing or ice dancing, your Dave & Buster’s
Power Card can help you with that. For all the Justin Bieber or Selena Gomez fans out
there, you just never know when one or the other will show up at a Dave & Buster’s
bar near you in the land of the Big Apple. After all, the former on-again-off-again couple
did have a D&B date there back in 2012. Of course, now that the Biebs is engaged to Haley
Baldwin and maybe married, and Jelena is busted, just don’t expect them both. Beliebers and
Selenators are now mutually exclusive fan clubs, and Dave & Buster’s is yet to think
about a virtual reality game that the two camps can fight about just for old times’
sakes. But then again, there are many other celebrities who might end up partying at a
Dave & Buster’s near you. You just never know when Taylor Swift or Pink will drop by,
so you just have to keep coming.
Hey...Dave & Buster’s Charging Stations Aren’t for Charging Your Smartphone
On the contrary, these so-called stations are meant for recharging your Dave & Buster’s
Power Card before you swagger through or otherwise catwalk your way through the so-called Million
Dollar Midway. A long time ago, coins or tokens used to be the means to pay for games that
you want to play; not anymore. These days, you can recharge your Power Card and update
your scores just by walking around. Dave & Buster’s uses radio frequency to keep track of your
game record as well as for topping up. It makes perfect sense. After all, coin payment
systems are so hard to maintain let alone operate. You must have an idea of how often
the modern vending machine goes down. And did I mention that it’s rather tacky too
when you find yourself in a high-end gaming establishment like Dave & Buster’s? Nowadays,
Dave & Buster’s uses an app called Tunity to not only top up your gaming account; it
also works like a Bluetooth device that enables you to listen in to your favorite sport from
one of the gigantic TVs that are all over the place. So you wonder how people can manage
to hear each other despite a traditionally noisy environment? Tunity is it. With all
these high-tech conveniences at Dave & Buster's, the video arcade, sports bar, and restaurant
all rolled into one handily competes with other restaurants and even the Las Vegas establishment.
