Dave & Buster's Irvine

"Games are alright, music can't really hear it haven't tried the food here yet .. but the way the service is honestly I don't expect too much Overpriced drinks just to end up with a huge amount of ice Even if I ask for light ice ... I've had better experiences at other locations Not to mention my first drink had a still smeared and dirty cup ... so hygiene is definitely not a top priority here"

"How to blast at Super bowl! Went with my fiance's company for a Super bowl party and had a great time. Service was awesome we were big crowd and they kept up with us pretty good. I just hate they only have one set of bathrooms all the way through the game play when you're in the bar drinking it's a pain in the butt. Other than that fun time!"

"We're regulars at Irvine and Orange locations, and this was the worst experience I've ever had at any Dave and Busters! We played a few games and decided to order food. As you can see in the pictures, the place was almost empty, so it's amazing that we would have any problems ordering or getting our food, but we did. After waiting at our table for 10 minutes or so, my husband asked the bartender if we could order from him and he said he'd get someone to help us. So we waited. First the server just ignored us while chatting away with one of the bartenders. When she finally came to our table, she didn't really greet us or say anything about us waiting so long when the whole place was a ghost town and she was far from friendly. We ordered the double pepperoni flatbread and when it came, the pepperoni was dried out and crunchy - in a bad way, like it was put in the microwave too long and kind of petrified. To top it off it was soggy and greasy on the bottom. She never came back to check on us at all, so my husband had to ask the bartender for help again. The manager, Pedro, came to our table and said he would have it remade. The second one was even worse! It looked and tasted charred. I tried a little piece and couldn't get the acrid taste out of my mouth. Pedro came back to see if we got our food. I showed him the flatbread and he didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it. I was stunned, and as a personal chef, offended that they were fine with serving that to customers. Frustrated and not feeling like trying to explain the obvious, I just let it go. My appetite was already ruined (along with my mood). They really didn't seem to care and neither Pedro nor our server came back to our table, but they spent quite a bit of time talking behind a machine (so weird). The amazing thing is how absolutely empty the place was and they couldn't manage to make a decent flatbread or provide excellent customer service that they talk about all over the website. Mediocre at best. I think we'll make the extra drive to Orange from now on."

"I recently hosted my son's 11th birthday party at Dave & Buster's in Irvine, and it was a fantastic experience. The arcade offered a wide variety of games, ensuring that everyone had a great time. The American food served was delicious, and the availability of beer added to the overall enjoyment of the event. While the overall customer service was great, I did experience a slight delay in receiving food and drinks at our table. However, this minor inconvenience did not overshadow the positive aspects of our experience. Overall, I highly recommend Dave & Buster's in Irvine for hosting memorable and enjoyable birthday parties. The excellent customer service and the extensive selection of games and food make it a great destination for family celebrations."

"A fun place for family night. Since they changed their menu item to a craft kitchen menu, the food is pretty good! The kid's battered chicken strips were fresh and moist. The French dip was delicious; a little on the rich side for me, but my husband enjoyed it. A safe sandwich to order. I had the veggie bowl with a side of chicken. The veggie bowl was delicious! The chicken on the other hand tasted like cardboard or chicken produced for the masses. A little surprising since everything else was good."
