    I went to d&b sat night, these may be small things ,but ive been in the food industry for tpo many years, it took about 10 minutes for someone to help me, I sat at the bar, I decided to order a steak with rice and cole slaw, ok, now the steak had a weird taste, It must be a gas grill ,but I couldn't eat it all, close slaw was warm and had no flavor whatsoever, it should have been served in a small dish, not on the plate with hot food, I thought the rice was going to be rice pilaf, was bland white rice. Also again small but they had to go back and get a steak knife, if your serving steak,wouldn't you grab a steak nice, ,I asked for salt, never came, the waitress was gone 75% of the time, im not sure if going back and forth to the kitchen ? But had to be the worst experience, I will go back for games, but will never get food again,$26.00 for steak, and I could have paid less and did a better job at home.

    After sitting at the bar and waiting 22 minutes while the bartender ate some food and completely ignored us she finally came over. She asked us what we wanted and walked away. She continued to eat while another bartender came up. They talked for a few and the second bartender started making our drinks. She was interrupted by the first bartender and had to stop making our drinks to go to the back room to get supplies. She came back, cleaned some trash and finally brought us our drinks. In all it took over 45 minutes for us to get our drinks. I cannot wait to see how long it will take for us to get our check. Completely unacceptable and will never return.

    My kids love it here. They play all the different games. My son likes the racing, throwing and shooting games. My daughter loves ticket games and claw machines. While not the cheapest activity if you go on a half price game day it is a pretty good value.

    We then waited a further 40 minutes and then as we were starving asked that if our food wasn't ready that could we have some bread and butter. We arrived at the restaurant and we greeted with a friendly face but that was the last good thing about this place. Please do not eat here!

    As someone who has been in the service industry for more than 20 years! I don’t normally put a bad review but hear goes. Came to D&B the bartender never introduced her self and acted like she couldn’t be bothered. Mind you there are 7 people at a bar that seats about 40-50 people. She goes are all set? I just sat down how about how about hi can I get you something to drink or would you like a menu! Now as I’m typing this it’s been about 5 min she now comes over and says do you want a menu or are you all set? Where in the world is this acceptable?
