This is my first time here and the service has been terrible. We had to wait almost an hour because they gave our table to another group. Waited almost 40 minutes for food and the waitress is taking AGES to bring back change. I'm absolutely never coming back. The games are fun. Food is mediocre. It's just not worth the trouble.

This is such a weird mix to me. I'd had it described to me as being "Chuck-E-Cheese for adults." I went, but found myself thinking... "No... Hooters is Chuck-E-Cheese for adults." This is essentially an Applebee's with an arcade attached. I'm going to keep this one short: bottom line- the food isn't really amazing at all. It reminds me of the appetizers TGI Fridays or Chili's put out into grocery stores so people can bring the magic of a dining experience home... only it turns out being not quite as good (if you cook like I do). The burgers are uninspired and they've even managed to have french fries that I don't find particularly appetizing. If I were to rate this on food alone, Dave and Busters would garner themselves only two stars. Luckily, the service ROCKS. I can actually put this up there among some of the better service I've ever had, with dining suggestions and drinks constantly flowing. And that's something not to be overlooked: the drinks. In truth, were I to go back here, I wouldn't order food at all. But drinks? Yes, yes, yes. The arcade itself is about what you expect and even though I love games, I can't really get inspired to analyze how many tickets it takes to get that goodie I might want. There's a few attractions I think are neat, but I can't see myself spending more than 15 minutes or so playing the games. Overall... an interesting experience to try every few years.

Came here for Keith & I's birthday and had a blast! A bit pricey and the ticket turn In area doesn't have much for us adults but nonetheless amazingly fun and can't wait to come back! Don't forget to stop by the bar and give a holla at Travis, the awesome n friendly bartender there. Side note: Travis makes a badass strawberry mojito!

If you have never been to D&B, don't let your first experience in the Tulsa venue be your last in any of them. Wait until you get to the one in Marietta, GA. The only redeeming quality to the d&b in Tulsa was the food. It was good. A bit over-priced for what you get but hot and fresh. The wait staff was pleasant but get offended easy if you don't say their name which, admittedly, is on their name tag somewhere but for some who forgot their glasses, can be hard to read what with everything else that's on their name tags. You will get corrected in a heartbeat if you use "miss" or "excuse me, uh, xxx........" ("My name is XXXXX!") The game area was like going into the back of a convenience store - everything packed in together and cramped. Just an awful example of the d&b I've come to love. The games were tired and looked like they had gotten them off a folded-up carnival. No virtual reality games, no theater gaming, no billiards or snooker, no golf pro games - no games really that made you want to play or stay. No one at the door to welcome you in. Large groups crammed together in the dining room. Not many little kids in there - as a matter of fact, I only saw one. The rest were older adults or teenagers. I dare say this is not a place that corporations take their employees for team-building or have meetings. The joint was incredibly loud !

We had reservations and didnt get seated for 45 minutes. The food is mediocre, and considering that, the prices are outrageous. We had a buy $10 get $10 coupon, and it ended up costing $14, so it was more like, buy $14 get $6 free. Service was good after we sat down, and the drinks are good. The games are fun. Definitely not somewhere I would eat very often.

Great atmosphere for fun and games. The food was also surprisingly better than my expectations. We had a corporate event there and it was a success. Recommended for events, families, friends, etc. Give it a shot, you will have a blast!

Just left DnB's for what I hope (vainly) will be the last time. Wife and I took our daughter (9) there to play some games while out shopping. Started off on a bad note the minute we walked in the door. Stood in line behind a party of 6 or 7 while they were getting their cards, etc. That took a good 10 minutes. I figured there must be a rule against helping more than one party at a time, seeing as there were three young ladies at the hostess station.... but what do I know? While waiting, I looked around and saw probably half a dozen tables sitting empty but unbussed. Hostess told us there'd be a 10 minute wait to get seated.... with me staring at at least two empty booths and one empty 4 top right in the middle of the floor. At this point, the downward spiral was firmly in second gear and revving up. So we get our daughter a game card and go the the gaming area. No problems there, but seriously... they're games... the expectation isn't great. Approximately 15 minutes later, the buzzer informed us our table was ready. Once seated, we perused the menu and ordered. Daughter had kids spaghetti and marinara, wife had the bar burger sliders, and I ordered the buffalo wings. None of us were really hungry to begin with. Turns out this was a good thing. Daughter's pasta arrived... what there was of it. Noodle portion was probably generous enough for a kid's plate, but the amount of sauce could have been measured in the spoonfuls. As in 1 or 2 spoonfuls. She ran out of sauce way before she ran out of noodles. Seriously guys? It's freakin tomato sauce... NOT a high margin item. o_O . Oh, and they used linguine noodles, NOT spaghetti.... stuff like that really gets me mad, for some reason. I think it shows a general lack of attention to detail. On to my wife's sliders... Shame they didn't slide off the plate and onto the floor on the way to the table where they arrived barely warm. Meat was dry and overcooked, buns were meh... To be fair, I don't think the frozen, preprocessed slider patties could have NOT been overcooked, since they're paper thin, I think they're overcooked before one side is done. Hard to cook meat like that... Somewhere in the world, there's a place that makes great sliders with fresh ground beef hand made into little patties of beefy love.... but this place ain't it. The best part of the slider was the pickle slice artfully speared to the top of the slider. She made me eat two of them.... she'll pay for that sometime in the future if I have anything to say about it.... who am I kidding...probably not. And saving the best for last (like that irony there?)... we come to my buffalo wings... I purposely didn't use capital letters there, because that's about the level of excitement they elicited from me. I've had MUCH better wings at Little Caesar's or Domino's. Seriously. And $10 for 8 wings? Somehow I doubt those came from a chicken... at least not a full grown one. I'll gladly pay $10 for 8 chicken wings provided they're some eye-popping, sumptuous, ecstacy-inducing wings.... these... not so much. The flavor was bland, the blue cheese was something.... not sure what, but it wasn't blue cheese. Even the celery sticks were embarrassed to be on that plate. Poor guys... I feel for em. So, to recap... we waited approximately 30 minutes to get seated in a half empty dining area ... the food was astoundingly sub-par, even by the standard you'd expect from a place like this, and the staff were not surprisingly nonchalant about it all. The entire visit had an overwhelming feeling of boredom and weariness. I'm sure I'll get dragged back into D&Bs in the future, entirely against my wishes... and once again, I will be as sad as my wallet. And for the record.... I've been to several DnB's, notably Dallas and Chicago, and they're not even on the same scale as this sub-par, watered down, overblown, disenfranchised facade that we have to suffer with.

Great fun in the arcade. Great service. Food so-so. We had a good time at my son's birthday party. The grandkids loved the games and collecting tickets to cash in on the "prizes". We had a private room and had a very attentive waiter. Same concept as ChuckECheese, but 1000 times better. Full Bar, decent food, games are more adult oriented. Go for the fun.

Great service fantastic food half price Wednesday for fun half price games! Excellent eat and play deals 2 of us spent $78.00 for 2 dinners 4 drinks at the bar and $50 play credits but it was fun and worth it! Good times! Had such a great time yesterday's had to come again before leaving town. Good drinks great fun! Can get expensive but like I said it is worth it.

Finally! Welcome to Oklahoma D&B! And more importantly welcome to Tulsa! I have been hearing rumors of Dave and Busters coming to town for a while now and was happy to have an opportunity at a sneak preview before it opened to the public. Sweet! Dave and Busters is like a giant arcade for adults. They have fun games that anyone can play and enjoy. Wether it is racing games, trivia games, dancing games, sports games they have something for everyone. They also have a full bar and great food! You can go in and get the eat and play combo which includes a meal and credits towards games for a reasonable price. One of my favorite games they have here is Derby Owners Club, a horse racing game where you breed and train horses. Sound ridiculous but highly addictive. The food is pretty good here. I started with some Grilled Chicken Nachos, The Chicken Cheesesteak, and shared the Bananas Fosters Pie with a friend. Grilled Chicken Nachos- Individual chips covered with jalapenos, grilled chicken, black beans, tomatoes, and melted cheese. Delicious. I was surprised how good these were. Chicken Cheesesteak- I usually get this anytime I have gone to a Dave and Busters. The cheese is freaking outstanding on this. Chunks of white chicken and served on a soft hoagie with some onions, peppers and mushrooms if you like. This is to die for. Not literally though. Bananas Fosters Pie- Here is the description off the menu, chilled banana pudding and vanilla sponge cake layered in a cinnamon-graham pastry with rum sauce and warm caramel. Good God this was unbelievable. This was probably the best thing I have had here. Their burgers are terrific as well as any of the alfredo pastas. Go welcome Dave and Busters and have some fun. If you can't have fun here, just stop going out in public. The biggest downfall of this particular Dave and Busters is that it isn't as big as other cities. They don't have the pool tables or shuffle boards here.

Stopped here for dessert prior to a later dinner reservation somewher else : ) It was a big group and Travis was very patient and accommodating, he took really good care of us. We had soft drinks, ice cream and dessert.

Unimpressed. Scaffolding covering the entrance without any signs assuring the restaurant was still open or that it was safe to weave your way under the spans. The hostesses were who sat us were friendly and fun. Unfortunately that was the highlight of our visit. Service was slow, no that would be an insult to slow and it was early on a Thursday with nary a soul in the place. We liked the spinach artichoke dip, but having a serving spoon to help share would have made sense to be standard. The makers mark burger beckoned with promise, but missed its...mark. overly sweet sauce did nothing to mask what tasted freezer burned. People who play video games are obviously the only reason this place stays afloat. I'm not a game player and only visited because I could easily walk from my hotel. I guess I shouldn't have expected anything but arcade rated food at an arcade.

I took my son to Dave & Buster's for lunch and play time. We ordered the Lawn Mower Salad and chicken tortilla soup. The salad was Huge and all the veggies were fresh and delicious. The soup was great, so was the Long Island Tea. The staff was friendly, we had a good time. Only 4 stars because some games were broken.

I'm not a big fan of chunky cheese for adults but my friends wanted to go there and we thought it would be fun. They underwhelmed me more than I thought. My friend ordered a salad, with a simple change (she wanted tomatoes minus the tortilla strips and dressing to the side... She got her salad missing several things... it was supposed to come with (avocado, pico, cheese, honey chipotle chicken but did not only came with plain grilled chicken, onion, lettuce). My other friend asked FOUR times for oranges for his beer. And I sat there for twenty minutes with an empty glass waiting for the server to notice my drink was done.... Perhaps I my expectations were self fulfilled (I don't expect much from adult chucky cheese) but I'm still not willing be okay with it. I payed 20 tip on an eighty tab (I was paying for three) and then asked to speak to the manager. A super nice guy (Morgan?) came and asked what was up, I explained how things went and that I was extremely disappointed. I heard the waitress tell him she was super busy (which to me was bogus (her and another guy had 12 customers counting us three). He gave us 125 credits each to make up for the bad service and apologized. Then after talking a bit more he gave us each 10 dollar gift cards. We thanked him and left. I've heard that its not always like that so ill give it another shot.

They need a set time in the evenings were children under 21 aren't aloud. It is way to small compared with other D&B's that I've been to. The food is not good either. Don't order appetizers, they are sooo small and expensive.
(2)
Olivia A.
I LOVE D&B...in MO that is. The one here is small...the food is "meh" nothing special- neither are the drinks- which I believe are too pricey. The trivia game is so much fun! So I guess if you're bored and wanting to try it...go for it...but unless you are really into playing crappy games then you most likely wont be satisfied.

Stephanie J.
So, I'm looking through the drink menu...and YES I find the perfect SHOT! (Blue curacao, Barcardi rum, triple sec, and a fruit juice medley,,or something like that.) The bartender comes over and I point to the drink on the menu. "I want this...please!" ~Mouth salivating~ Do you know what she tells me? " Oops, this is the old menu." She opens the binder and removes the page with my drink on it! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ooops? Wtf?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MaNaGeR! Please don't play with my alcohol. There must be some recipe you can follow! ....and she does (follow the recipe) eat,**DRINK**, and play!

The foods not great and unless you like your bar scene looking like an upscale Chucky E Cheese then don't bother. They really need to set a "adults only" time.

Our two visits there have met with the same result: Bland-tasting food and spotty service. It perfectly fits a two-star, "Meh ..I've experienced better" rating. We're not game-players, but they look like the only real attraction here.

I like to go to D & B to play but I don't like to eat at this place. We usually go somewhere else to eat before we go over to play games. We decided to take a few family members there and had a not so good time. It all started with the waitress. It took 20 minutes to get drinks. Another 10 to order. My strip steak was not worth the $20 I paid for it. It was very bland and the only flavor was the BBQ sauce on it. My Uncle ordered some chicken sandwiches but the bread was hard (not toasted). They were informed that it "just happens" which is ridiculous. (In a previous visit, I had ordered the philly cheesesteak sandwhich and also experienced this hard bread.) We were automatically charged gratuity even though there were only 6 paying adults after having to wait 20 minutes to settle our bill. The service was not great. We'll still go play games especially on Wednesdays (when the price of games is half off) in the afternoon (when domestic drafts are also half off). but I would definitely not recommend this place for eating. I can understand the combo meals being low quality for the price, but having ordered off the regular menu I expected more and was delivered less.

Went here since my boyfriend hasn't been to a D&B. It had been a while for me too. I haven't been to one since the 90's in Texas. Not sure why it ended up in Tulsa instead of OKC. But it made for a nice day trip. The food was great and the games were fun. I wish they had a bigger game room but it was still fun. I had "The Boss Chicken Sandwich" and Eric and the double parm chicken sandwich. He said it was the best parm sandwich he has ever had! So that's gotta be good. I wish I had room for dessert. After we ordered the waiter let us play in the game room and then came and found us when the food was ready. Nice place - very clean and cool deco. Back in the day D&B was more adult but this one is very family friendly. We will be back!

Bad food! Horrible service! Do not go here even if you're really hungry! We have been to many D&B restaurants and never had any bad experience, but Tulsa D&B left us a bad taste. We went for dinner on a Sunday night at 9pm because most of the restaurants in town are closed. We entered the new, big and empty restaurant which only had 3 guests sitting at the bar. We were seated at the booth and ordered our food quickly due to the waitress rushing us. We ordered BLT turkey burger and fire grilled salmon. For the turkey burger, the bun was hard, the turkey was dry and bacon is burnt. The salmon was chewy and fishy. Service was horrible. Our waitress gave us the menu and did not give us 30 seconds to look thru it before she asks us if we're ready to order. Then she rushed us out the door and this is at 9pm with an empty restaurant. Very disappointed and won't come back. Also, the restaurant's address listed on here is wrong, they had moved to a new location behind Bestbuy on 71st street.

Ok, so saw D&Bs on the way to another store in the area and we wanted a drink. I thought we could stop in and grab a couple of to-go drinks and my fiancee could use the bathroom. Stopped in and asked if we could buy to-go drinks, and they said no, they don't have to go containers for drinks. Ok, no problem, so I asked if my fiancee could use the restroom and the hostess replied, "Well.. I guess I can't really say no." I was very annoyed by her attitude. Sure I'm wasn't going to eat there that moment, but I was a potential future customer - my fiancee and I love to eat out and Id always wanted to try D&Bs. So I said, "Well, you CAN say no, its your establishment." -- She then asked if we were going to eat there, and I said no our plan was to buy a couple of drinks, hit up the restroom, and go on our way. I really felt like she was on a power trip and I was like a transient begging for access. I asked her again if my fiancee could use the restroom or not.. and was met with another smart ass reply, "Well, I would sure hope that I would say yes.." My reply, "I would sure hope you would say yes too, but it seems to be a hard decision for you." They laughed, I asked where the restroom was and that was that, but it left a horrible taste in my mouth. I wasn't expecting fine dining level service, but the implied "Bathroom is for paying customer use only," mentality was more a fit for a gas station in a bad part of town. I won't be back, b/c although it was just one experience, it was such a condescending one that it left a horrible impression. I'd love to give a one for this, but in all honesty all I experienced was the hostess stand, maybe the service improves beyond that b/c it couldn't possible go downhill.

Let me start by saying it takes a lot for me to post a negative review. With that said... Went here to watch a football game on a Saturday. We sat in the bar area and waited 15 min with no service, so we went to the bar to order drinks ourselves. Never once saw anyone again. About an hour later I approached the manager and explained the experience. He brought me the bill, which while I wasn't trying to get it taken care of, I must admit I was surprised he didn't do anything!! He assured me when I was ready he would take care of me. NEVER SAW HIM AGAIN! Without question, I would never come back here. Needless to say I do not recommend this place.

I have been here a few times since I have moved to Tulsa. This location in particular is OK, but the ones I have been to previously in other cities are SO much better. Than again, you can't expect much from Tulsa. I first went here with my boyfriend on a Wednesday evening, we decided to have a fun date night and when we got there was pleased to see that Wednesday is also half price game night. This just means that all the games you would normally play you only have to use half the amount of credits, which means you get to do more with less! Who doesn't love that?! We also got food while we were there as well. I got the bar sliders and my boyfriend got a standard burger that had every topping in the world on it. It was a fair price, but when we ordered we said we wanted a side of fries which it did come with already, so all the waiter had to do was confirm. Nope, that is not what happened. We ended up getting double the fries and than charged for it! Aside from that small incident, I had a good time. It wasn't the best Dave and Busters in Tulsa, but since there isn't much to do in this town anyways we will probabaly be back. The most recent time I went was on a Saturday with some friends. It was not as crowded as you thought it would be, but overall it was an OK time. I have also been here before when my company rents out the whole place and has food catered. If you ever get a chance to do that, it is the best time.
I like Dave and Buster's. Seeing as how there aren't many options for "entertainment" around Tulsa, it is one of our favorite places to go and have some fun. I wouldn't recommend eating dinner there. The food is decent, but nothing remarkable. Eat somewhere else and then come to play the games. I have seen a lot of complaints about the games offered and the amount of space in the game room. I will agree that the area can be cramped at times, and there aren't as many games as I'd like there to be, but they keep a pretty good rotation of games, adding in new ones every so often.

I used to visit the one in Dallas, TX, when family in Tulsa took family in Dallas to their D&B. I was expecting a completely different environment and multi-level gambling..I mean arcade experience. But this felt like a smaller, more expensive, 'Fun House' (the old arcade and mini-golf place that I have no idea if it s still open). It completely lacked the tone and had half the selection of activities of the D&B in Dallas. I literally only go to this one when I am invited for a birthday party.

I hate to write this review. Don't take this as hate. Or hipster agnst. I love DnB. Always Have. It because I love DnB. I have to say that Tulsa DnB is the worst one I have every spent money at. Dave and Buster is the adult version of Chuckie E Chesse. It bascially offers the same thing as it kiddie counterpart. Games. Comfort Food. Beer. The thing that makes Tulsa DnB suck is ...well Tulsa. Tulsa has a air of making everything family friendly and that's what kills this DnB. When I want to relax at 10 with a drink on Friday I don't want to see kids running around. Last call should never be at 1AM and why are there not adult games like Pool or Darts. Until Tulsa can have a mature nightlife that doesn't revole around OU or OSU football Tulsa DnB will always be meh

I'll gladly pay $10 for 8 chicken wings provided they're some eye-popping, sumptuous, ecstacy-inducing wings.... these... not so much. The flavor was bland, the blue cheese was something.... not sure what, but it wasn't blue cheese. Even the celery sticks were embarrassed to be on that plate. Poor guys... I feel for em. So, to recap... we waited approximately 30 minutes to get seated in a half empty dining area ... the food was astoundingly sub-par, even by the standard you'd expect from a place like this, and the staff were not surprisingly nonchalant about it all. The entire visit had an overwhelming feeling of boredom and weariness. I'm sure I'll get dragged back into D&Bs in the future, entirely against my wishes... and once again, I will be as sad as my wallet. And for the record.... I've been to several DnB's, notably Dallas and Chicago, and they're not even on the same scale as this sub-par, watered down, overblown, disenfranchised facade that we have to suffer with.

Great fun in the arcade. Great service. Food so-so. We had a good time at my son's birthday party. The grandkids loved the games and collecting tickets to cash in on the "prizes". We had a private room and had a very attentive waiter. Same concept as ChuckECheese, but 1000 times better. Full Bar, decent food, games are more adult oriented. Go for the fun.

Great service fantastic food half price Wednesday for fun half price games! Excellent eat and play deals 2 of us spent $78.00 for 2 dinners 4 drinks at the bar and $50 play credits but it was fun and worth it! Good times! Had such a great time yesterday's had to come again before leaving town. Good drinks great fun! Can get expensive but like I said it is worth it.

Finally! Welcome to Oklahoma D&B! And more importantly welcome to Tulsa! I have been hearing rumors of Dave and Busters coming to town for a while now and was happy to have an opportunity at a sneak preview before it opened to the public. Sweet! Dave and Busters is like a giant arcade for adults. They have fun games that anyone can play and enjoy. Wether it is racing games, trivia games, dancing games, sports games they have something for everyone. They also have a full bar and great food! You can go in and get the eat and play combo which includes a meal and credits towards games for a reasonable price. One of my favorite games they have here is Derby Owners Club, a horse racing game where you breed and train horses. Sound ridiculous but highly addictive. The food is pretty good here. I started with some Grilled Chicken Nachos, The Chicken Cheesesteak, and shared the Bananas Fosters Pie with a friend. Grilled Chicken Nachos- Individual chips covered with jalapenos, grilled chicken, black beans, tomatoes, and melted cheese. Delicious. I was surprised how good these were. Chicken Cheesesteak- I usually get this anytime I have gone to a Dave and Busters. The cheese is freaking outstanding on this. Chunks of white chicken and served on a soft hoagie with some onions, peppers and mushrooms if you like. This is to die for. Not literally though. Bananas Fosters Pie- Here is the description off the menu, chilled banana pudding and vanilla sponge cake layered in a cinnamon-graham pastry with rum sauce and warm caramel. Good God this was unbelievable. This was probably the best thing I have had here. Their burgers are terrific as well as any of the alfredo pastas. Go welcome Dave and Busters and have some fun. If you can't have fun here, just stop going out in public. The biggest downfall of this particular Dave and Busters is that it isn't as big as other cities. They don't have the pool tables or shuffle boards here.

Stopped here for dessert prior to a later dinner reservation somewher else : ) It was a big group and Travis was very patient and accommodating, he took really good care of us. We had soft drinks, ice cream and dessert.

Unimpressed. Scaffolding covering the entrance without any signs assuring the restaurant was still open or that it was safe to weave your way under the spans. The hostesses were who sat us were friendly and fun. Unfortunately that was the highlight of our visit. Service was slow, no that would be an insult to slow and it was early on a Thursday with nary a soul in the place. We liked the spinach artichoke dip, but having a serving spoon to help share would have made sense to be standard. The makers mark burger beckoned with promise, but missed its...mark. overly sweet sauce did nothing to mask what tasted freezer burned. People who play video games are obviously the only reason this place stays afloat. I'm not a game player and only visited because I could easily walk from my hotel. I guess I shouldn't have expected anything but arcade rated food at an arcade.

I took my son to Dave & Buster's for lunch and play time. We ordered the Lawn Mower Salad and chicken tortilla soup. The salad was Huge and all the veggies were fresh and delicious. The soup was great, so was the Long Island Tea. The staff was friendly, we had a good time. Only 4 stars because some games were broken.

I'm not a big fan of chunky cheese for adults but my friends wanted to go there and we thought it would be fun. They underwhelmed me more than I thought. My friend ordered a salad, with a simple change (she wanted tomatoes minus the tortilla strips and dressing to the side... She got her salad missing several things... it was supposed to come with (avocado, pico, cheese, honey chipotle chicken but did not only came with plain grilled chicken, onion, lettuce). My other friend asked FOUR times for oranges for his beer. And I sat there for twenty minutes with an empty glass waiting for the server to notice my drink was done.... Perhaps I my expectations were self fulfilled (I don't expect much from adult chucky cheese) but I'm still not willing be okay with it. I payed 20 tip on an eighty tab (I was paying for three) and then asked to speak to the manager. A super nice guy (Morgan?) came and asked what was up, I explained how things went and that I was extremely disappointed. I heard the waitress tell him she was super busy (which to me was bogus (her and another guy had 12 customers counting us three). He gave us 125 credits each to make up for the bad service and apologized. Then after talking a bit more he gave us each 10 dollar gift cards. We thanked him and left. I've heard that its not always like that so ill give it another shot.

They need a set time in the evenings were children under 21 aren't aloud. It is way to small compared with other D&B's that I've been to. The food is not good either. Don't order appetizers, they are sooo small and expensive.
(2)Olivia A.
I LOVE D&B...in MO that is. The one here is small...the food is "meh" nothing special- neither are the drinks- which I believe are too pricey. The trivia game is so much fun! So I guess if you're bored and wanting to try it...go for it...but unless you are really into playing crappy games then you most likely wont be satisfied.
(2)Stephanie J.
So, I'm looking through the drink menu...and YES I find the perfect SHOT! (Blue curacao, Barcardi rum, triple sec, and a fruit juice medley,,or something like that.) The bartender comes over and I point to the drink on the menu. "I want this...please!" ~Mouth salivating~ Do you know what she tells me? " Oops, this is the old menu." She opens the binder and removes the page with my drink on it! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ooops? Wtf?~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MaNaGeR! Please don't play with my alcohol. There must be some recipe you can follow! ....and she does (follow the recipe) eat,**DRINK**, and play!

The foods not great and unless you like your bar scene looking like an upscale Chucky E Cheese then don't bother. They really need to set a "adults only" time.
(2)Ken H.
Our two visits there have met with the same result: Bland-tasting food and spotty service. It perfectly fits a two-star, "Meh ..I've experienced better" rating. We're not game-players, but they look like the only real attraction here.

I like to go to D & B to play but I don't like to eat at this place. We usually go somewhere else to eat before we go over to play games. We decided to take a few family members there and had a not so good time. It all started with the waitress. It took 20 minutes to get drinks. Another 10 to order. My strip steak was not worth the $20 I paid for it. It was very bland and the only flavor was the BBQ sauce on it. My Uncle ordered some chicken sandwiches but the bread was hard (not toasted). They were informed that it "just happens" which is ridiculous. (In a previous visit, I had ordered the philly cheesesteak sandwhich and also experienced this hard bread.) We were automatically charged gratuity even though there were only 6 paying adults after having to wait 20 minutes to settle our bill. The service was not great. We'll still go play games especially on Wednesdays (when the price of games is half off) in the afternoon (when domestic drafts are also half off). but I would definitely not recommend this place for eating. I can understand the combo meals being low quality for the price, but having ordered off the regular menu I expected more and was delivered less.

Went here since my boyfriend hasn't been to a D&B. It had been a while for me too. I haven't been to one since the 90's in Texas. Not sure why it ended up in Tulsa instead of OKC. But it made for a nice day trip. The food was great and the games were fun. I wish they had a bigger game room but it was still fun. I had "The Boss Chicken Sandwich" and Eric and the double parm chicken sandwich. He said it was the best parm sandwich he has ever had! So that's gotta be good. I wish I had room for dessert. After we ordered the waiter let us play in the game room and then came and found us when the food was ready. Nice place - very clean and cool deco. Back in the day D&B was more adult but this one is very family friendly. We will be back!

More on the expensive side, smaller than most Dave and Busters, food was below average, people were annoying, "drinks" were average, and it takes forever to get food BUT my wife and I left happy even though my wallet was sad :,(

Good place for friend and family and really easy to play games and get tables during the weekday

Bad food! Horrible service! Do not go here even if you're really hungry! We have been to many D&B restaurants and never had any bad experience, but Tulsa D&B left us a bad taste. We went for dinner on a Sunday night at 9pm because most of the restaurants in town are closed. We entered the new, big and empty restaurant which only had 3 guests sitting at the bar. We were seated at the booth and ordered our food quickly due to the waitress rushing us. We ordered BLT turkey burger and fire grilled salmon. For the turkey burger, the bun was hard, the turkey was dry and bacon is burnt. The salmon was chewy and fishy. Service was horrible. Our waitress gave us the menu and did not give us 30 seconds to look thru it before she asks us if we're ready to order. Then she rushed us out the door and this is at 9pm with an empty restaurant. Very disappointed and won't come back. Also, the restaurant's address listed on here is wrong, they had moved to a new location behind Bestbuy on 71st street.

Ok, so saw D&Bs on the way to another store in the area and we wanted a drink. I thought we could stop in and grab a couple of to-go drinks and my fiancee could use the bathroom. Stopped in and asked if we could buy to-go drinks, and they said no, they don't have to go containers for drinks. Ok, no problem, so I asked if my fiancee could use the restroom and the hostess replied, "Well.. I guess I can't really say no." I was very annoyed by her attitude. Sure I'm wasn't going to eat there that moment, but I was a potential future customer - my fiancee and I love to eat out and Id always wanted to try D&Bs. So I said, "Well, you CAN say no, its your establishment." -- She then asked if we were going to eat there, and I said no our plan was to buy a couple of drinks, hit up the restroom, and go on our way. I really felt like she was on a power trip and I was like a transient begging for access. I asked her again if my fiancee could use the restroom or not.. and was met with another smart ass reply, "Well, I would sure hope that I would say yes.." My reply, "I would sure hope you would say yes too, but it seems to be a hard decision for you." They laughed, I asked where the restroom was and that was that, but it left a horrible taste in my mouth. I wasn't expecting fine dining level service, but the implied "Bathroom is for paying customer use only," mentality was more a fit for a gas station in a bad part of town. I won't be back, b/c although it was just one experience, it was such a condescending one that it left a horrible impression. I'd love to give a one for this, but in all honesty all I experienced was the hostess stand, maybe the service improves beyond that b/c it couldn't possible go downhill.

Let me start by saying it takes a lot for me to post a negative review. With that said... Went here to watch a football game on a Saturday. We sat in the bar area and waited 15 min with no service, so we went to the bar to order drinks ourselves. Never once saw anyone again. About an hour later I approached the manager and explained the experience. He brought me the bill, which while I wasn't trying to get it taken care of, I must admit I was surprised he didn't do anything!! He assured me when I was ready he would take care of me. NEVER SAW HIM AGAIN! Without question, I would never come back here. Needless to say I do not recommend this place.

I have been here a few times since I have moved to Tulsa. This location in particular is OK, but the ones I have been to previously in other cities are SO much better. Than again, you can't expect much from Tulsa. I first went here with my boyfriend on a Wednesday evening, we decided to have a fun date night and when we got there was pleased to see that Wednesday is also half price game night. This just means that all the games you would normally play you only have to use half the amount of credits, which means you get to do more with less! Who doesn't love that?! We also got food while we were there as well. I got the bar sliders and my boyfriend got a standard burger that had every topping in the world on it. It was a fair price, but when we ordered we said we wanted a side of fries which it did come with already, so all the waiter had to do was confirm. Nope, that is not what happened. We ended up getting double the fries and than charged for it! Aside from that small incident, I had a good time. It wasn't the best Dave and Busters in Tulsa, but since there isn't much to do in this town anyways we will probabaly be back. The most recent time I went was on a Saturday with some friends. It was not as crowded as you thought it would be, but overall it was an OK time. I have also been here before when my company rents out the whole place and has food catered. If you ever get a chance to do that, it is the best time.

The review i left previously was for the one in Dallas. My fiancé and i came to the one here in Tulsa for our birthday and as per par it's amazing. We were greeted by Travis,he explained everything but didnt make us feel stupid for not knowing whats going on here. He got a great personality and the atmosphere here is so awesome. We are definitely coming back soon to enjoy more fun and play.
(5)Lisa E.
I like Dave and Buster's. Seeing as how there aren't many options for "entertainment" around Tulsa, it is one of our favorite places to go and have some fun. I wouldn't recommend eating dinner there. The food is decent, but nothing remarkable. Eat somewhere else and then come to play the games. I have seen a lot of complaints about the games offered and the amount of space in the game room. I will agree that the area can be cramped at times, and there aren't as many games as I'd like there to be, but they keep a pretty good rotation of games, adding in new ones every so often.

I used to visit the one in Dallas, TX, when family in Tulsa took family in Dallas to their D&B. I was expecting a completely different environment and multi-level gambling..I mean arcade experience. But this felt like a smaller, more expensive, 'Fun House' (the old arcade and mini-golf place that I have no idea if it s still open). It completely lacked the tone and had half the selection of activities of the D&B in Dallas. I literally only go to this one when I am invited for a birthday party.

I hate to write this review. Don't take this as hate. Or hipster agnst. I love DnB. Always Have. It because I love DnB. I have to say that Tulsa DnB is the worst one I have every spent money at. Dave and Buster is the adult version of Chuckie E Chesse. It bascially offers the same thing as it kiddie counterpart. Games. Comfort Food. Beer. The thing that makes Tulsa DnB suck is ...well Tulsa. Tulsa has a air of making everything family friendly and that's what kills this DnB. When I want to relax at 10 with a drink on Friday I don't want to see kids running around. Last call should never be at 1AM and why are there not adult games like Pool or Darts. Until Tulsa can have a mature nightlife that doesn't revole around OU or OSU football Tulsa DnB will always be meh

Food is good a little price high but good. Like a high end TGIF's very corporate.
