How Dave & Buster’s Compares
Dave & Buster’s food menu is priced similarly to other casual dining chains like Chili’s or TGI Fridays, but the arcade and entertainment side is what actually sets its overall value apart, since the food is really one part of a bigger night out rather than the main draw. Compared to other “eatertainment” chains like Main Event, which it now owns, pricing and menu style are fairly close, reflecting the shared parent company.
About Dave & Buster’s
Dave & Buster’s started in December 1982 in Dallas, Texas, when David “Dave” Corriveau, who ran a game room, and James “Buster” Corley, who owned a restaurant in Little Rock, Arkansas, decided to combine their two businesses after noticing how often their customers moved between game rooms and restaurants on the same night out. A coin toss decided that Dave’s name would come first in the combined brand.
The concept caught on quickly, and Dave & Buster’s grew through the 1980s and 90s before going public in 1995, which funded expansion into more major US and Canadian cities. In 2022, the company acquired its largest competitor, Main Event Entertainment, in an all-cash deal valued at $835 million, combining the two “eatertainment” brands under one roof. Heading into 2026, Dave & Buster’s continues investing in contactless Power Cards, augmented reality gaming, and large-format sports viewing areas across its locations.
Why Dave & Buster’s Is Famous
The Million Dollar Midway. A massive arcade floor combining modern video games, virtual reality, and classic redemption games where players earn tickets toward prizes.
The Winner’s Circle. A retail counter where guests trade in tickets earned from games for prizes, ranging from small trinkets to bigger-ticket items.
Sports viewing. Large, high-resolution screens throughout most locations make it a common spot for watching major sporting events in a group setting.
