What Players Say
Based on more than 8,300 reviews, Dave & Buster’s Hollywood draws steady crowds who describe it as a high-energy, large-format arcade with a strong mix of modern and classic machines. The venue is consistently praised for its atmosphere and its appeal to families, while its dining and service operations draw more mixed feedback from guests.
Game selection stands out as the strongest theme among visitors, with reviewers calling out a wide mix of “newer style games along with some oldie but Goldie games for the OG’s” — Google review. The atmosphere is similarly well-received, with guests describing the floor as “loud, sometimes crazy, and full of high energy” — Google review, and noting that it is “a perfect place to unwind with the kiddos and let them run around and play games” — Google review. Food quality is a recurring topic and lands as mixed overall: many guests single out items like the lemon pepper wings, with one reviewer calling them “the best I have eaten in the Miami area” — Google review.
However, the same reviewers who rave about the food frequently complain about the pace of service. Multiple themes point to slow, inattentive staff — particularly at the bar — with one guest noting “everyone is moving in slow motion and not providing any level of service” — Google review, and another reporting that “service was extremely slow, 20 minutes from the time seated to when someone waited on us” — Google review. Crowds and wait times show up as a related negative theme across 14 mentions.
It is also worth flagging a recurring caveat that runs through several reviews: machine condition and reliability. With 10 mentions of out-of-order cabinets and inconsistent uptime on the game floor, players should temper expectations, since as one reviewer put it, “Half of the games here is always out of service” — Google review. Pricing and value show up as a related concern, with guests calling the gaming experience “very pricey” — Google review, and the prize redemption room drawing particular criticism for being “weak and simply RIDICULOUSLY priced” — Google review. On the positive side, parking is generally easy, with one guest noting “there was plenty of parking, which made arriving with a group easy” — Google review. Visitors looking for the best value should pay attention to Wednesday game discounts and the Dave & Buster’s mobile app, both of which come up repeatedly as ways to stretch a card load.
