What Players Say
Dave & Buster’s Indianapolis carries an aggregated rating of 3.9 out of 5 from roughly 5,700 Google reviews, and the editorial consensus paints a picture of a venue with strong atmosphere but uneven operations. Guests frequently describe an energetic, multi-generational space with a wide game selection and an attached dining area, yet many also report that the experience is highly inconsistent, with standout shifts where service shines and other nights where it falls apart.
Negative themes dominate several of the most-mentioned categories. Machine condition and game reliability drew 22 negative mentions, including a reviewer who wrote, “most games were broken and the prizes were insanely priced” — Google review. Service and staff consistency is the most-discussed negative theme with 25 mentions, captured by the blunt remark, “Why are you even open if you don’t have staff?” — Google review. Crowds and seating are also a recurring sore spot: 14 reviewers mentioned long waits at the hostess stand, summarized by one who noted they “Waited at the hostess stand for forever” — Google review. Food and drink wait times drew 18 negative mentions, with one party reporting that “my nephew and I did not receive our meals until 8:40 p.m.” — Google review. Pricing and value is the third-most-mentioned complaint, where one reviewer summarized the issue by stating, “D&B is too expensive for the experience that we had” — Google review. Food quality itself is a mixed theme across 20 mentions, with one summary being, “Absolutely don’t go for the food. The games are definitely cool.” — Google review.
On the positive side, 15 reviewers emphasized the atmosphere and overall fun factor, calling it “energetic, family friendly, and a great way to relax” — Google review. Kid-friendliness earned 10 positive mentions, with one parent observing that “it’s a great spot for kids. Plenty to keep them busy” — Google review. Eighteen reviewers singled out individual servers and managers as the highlight of their visits, including one who praised “Adriouna really stood out with her positive attitude and professionalism” — Google review. Parking and accessibility also drew positive feedback, with two reviewers noting there is “Lots of parking available” — Google review.
The aggregated review caveat focuses on machine condition and game reliability as the most consistent negative signal in the data set. Several reviewers specifically steer prospective guests toward the Greenwood location if a more polished experience is the priority, which is worth weighing when planning a visit.
