Dave & Buster's (Braintree, MA)

Before it opened, I recently received an invitation for a media preview of the new Dave & Buster's in Braintree.  I've seen so many commercials for this place and have passed by the one in Providence so many times but I've never actually been inside Dave & Buster's.  Since this is the first Massachusetts location, I definitely wanted to check it out but I unfortunately couldn't make the media preview because of my schedule.

Since I couldn't make the media preview, the kind folks at Schneider Associates asked if I'd like to come down after work one night to check it out.  Since Bret and I are just big kids at heart, we were both excited to have a fun date night that involved food, drinks and, of course, games!

We started the evening by splitting a few appetizers for dinner.  One of the dishes was the Buffalo Bar Chicks, which were four mini buffalo chicken sliders and fries.

Our second appetizer was the Philly Steak Rolls, which were ridiculously addictive.  We both loved the spicy ketchup and queso that came with the rolls.

And we also munched on some tortilla chips with queso and salsa.  There was also an option for a "loaded" queso which came with ground beef, sour cream and guacamole but we were pretty happy with the unloaded version.

The food was pretty standard bar food but we weren't there for the food.  After we finished our meal, we spent over an hour playing a ridiculous amount of arcade games.  Since Wednesday night is half-priced game night, we got to play a lot of different games - from Connect Four to basketball to race cars.  It was a total blast and a really fun dining experience.  I was glad we finally got to check Dave & Buster's out!

Full disclosure: Dave & Buster's provided me with a complimentary $40 gift card but as always, my opinion is honest and completely my own.

Dave & Buster's has over 50 locations nationwide.  We went to the one at 250 Granite Street, Braintree, MA.
