What Players Say
Dave & Buster’s Edina draws largely positive marks for its remodeled atmosphere and the breadth of its game floor, with the recent upgrade earning praise for its sports-bar feel and abundance of TVs — “The remodeled restaurant creates a nice atmosphere, and they have a ton of TVs to watch sports!” — Google review. Families consistently rate it as a strong outing option, with one guest calling it a “Fantastic family get together option. For our six year old, he was beyond happy” — Google review. Parking is also a clear plus, with visitors noting “Plenty of free parking” — Google review.
The picture is more mixed when it comes to the day-to-day experience. Service quality swings noticeably: standout servers like “Jayme provided some of the best service I’ve ever received” — Google review earn raves, but consistency is not guaranteed across visits. Food quality similarly oscillates between “I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food!” — Google review and more ordinary bar-fare reviews. On the game floor, visitors report that “Fun games but many multi-player games had issues including, Luigi’s Mansion 3, Aliens, Pac-Man” — Google review, and pricing is a recurring complaint: “points were very expensive just like any other arcade” — Google review.
A few additional concerns appear in feedback. Noise levels can be intrusive during busy shifts — “The restaurant itself was so loud we couldn’t even hear the server when she’d be next to us” — Google review — and isolated safety incidents have been reported, including one visitor who saw “a mouse suddenly ran across the floor right next to our table in the dining area” — Google review. Private event bookings draw divided opinions as well, with one party host stating “I would not recommend for a party. Just pay the passes itself” — Google review.
Games & Machines
Categorized as a video arcade, Dave & Buster’s Edina centers on a card- or swipe-based game floor featuring a wide mix of cabinets and multiplayer setups typical of large-format entertainment venues. Without a verified current inventory from the venue itself, specifics on individual titles, ticket counts, and pricing are best confirmed by calling ahead or checking the official site.
Visiting
Dave & Buster’s Edina is located on the third floor of Southdale Mall at Edina, MN, with phone reservations and inquiries handled at +1 612-913-5900. The full official website for the location is also available for visitors who want to confirm party packages, menu offerings, or current game promotions before arriving. The venue’s full-service restaurant and sports-bar setup make it as much a dining destination as an arcade, and the format accommodates both walk-in play and private event bookings. Visitors planning ahead should note that game pricing and food costs trend toward the higher end of the market, so budgeting for an extended session is wise, particularly for families.
Standard hours run 10 AM to midnight on Sunday through Tuesday and 10 AM to 1 AM on Wednesday through Saturday, giving late-night flexibility on weekends. Free parking is available at the mall, though guests should factor in the walk up to the third-floor entrance. For visitors weighing this location against alternatives in the Bloomington area, the arcade finder directory and the interactive arcade map are useful comparison tools.
