What Players Say
Dave & Buster’s Marietta offers a large, recently renovated venue with an impressive variety of arcade games, bowling, pool, and new attractions like The Arena, making it a strong choice for family outings and group events. Food quality is inconsistent — standout appetizers and some solid entrees are undercut by greasy dishes and portion complaints — while service ranges from genuinely exceptional staff members to frustrating waits caused by apparent understaffing. Visitors looking for the best experience should consider weeknights or off-peak hours to avoid crowds and service slowdowns, and may want to prioritize games over dining.
The strongest praise, drawn from 18 review snippets gathered across Google, is for the depth of the game lineup. As one visitor put it, “They have many games that other locations don’t offer” — Google review.

Families likewise give the venue high marks, with 14 reviewers describing it as great for kids, parents, and date nights alike, and parking gets a positive nod for accessible spaces and plenty of capacity.
On the mixed side, machine condition is the most cited concern outside of service. A reviewer noted that “Some machines were worn down, scratched up, or not working” — Google review, a caveat that recurs in roughly 10 mentions and is worth weighing before a long visit. Service and staffing draw the heaviest criticism, with 28 reviewers flagging inconsistencies and 12 specifically calling out long waits — one guest reported, “Waited 50 minutes for our drinks. Waited an hour and half for our food” — Google review. Food quality is the most-debated topic, with 22 mentions split between praise and disappointment, and the summary line “the arcade is a 5* and the food is a 3*” — Google review capturing the divide.
