Dave and Busters

Dave and Busters

When our daughter Kasey suggested that we come along with them to Dave and Busters at Providence Mall I said yah, right. It was for Christians Birthday so we had to go but I wanted to eat at Fire and Ice and then just join them at the game area at Dave and Busters. One look at the wait at Fire and Ice convinced me that it wasn’t such a good idea.

As it turns out we made a very good decision. They had a special at Dave and Busters that if your ordered before 5pm you got a $10 credit for games so we were able to help the Houligans to have a good time. I was very surprised at how pretty and romantic the dining area is at Dave and Buster’s . It is very Casablanca with Palm Trees and dim lighting and a Moroccan influence.

We got off to a bit of a rough start because we were seated before 5 but didn’t get service for over 5 minutes. We had to get the manager in order to have our $10 but he was good about it and from that point on our waitress was everything we could have asked for.

I knew as soon as I looked at the beer list, and a very fine list it is that I was going to enjoy this restaurant, they serve Stella Artois. Needless to say that is what I ordered. It was a nice big glass too served perfectly chilled.

I had the Black Jack chicken , two chicken breast grilled with a Jack Daniels BBQ sauce and for my sides I passed on the loaded baked potato and had a double green bean. It was really good, the glaze is sweet and the beans still had a nice snap to them. Al had the sirloin steak with the peppercorn sauce and the frizzled onions and I didn’t hear any complaints from him.

We decided to try dessert and we had the bananas foster pie. It is graham cracker crust topped with sponge cake and banana pudding topped with fresh bananas slices and caramel sauce. Yum. All this and we got to play the games too.

Outside of the restaurant it is a wild and crazy place with bright lights and lots of noise. There are kids of all ages everywhere. Bells are ringing , lights are flashing and horns are blowing. We basically just followed the Houligans around making sure none of them got lost. They certainly enjoyed every minute. There are over 200 games to choose from and many of them appeal to adults as well as the younger folk. This is the kind of midway where you earn tickets and when you are done you go and trade them in for stuff. Mostly it looked like plastic crap to me but the kids love it.
