Gluten-Free at Dave & Buster's

Called in advance, and was led to believe there were a lot of gluten-free options. There really aren’t that many, particularly if you have other allergies. The menu is marked with an NG for non gluten containing items. There was baked salmon, nachos and burgers.

The fries are gluten-free and we were told that they are prepared in a separate area.

The wait staff was knowledgeable and helpful.

Despite the lack of options, It was still nice to have something to eat while watching football and playing the games.

I saw a positive review here and decided to try it for my celiac son. You can find the allergen menu online so I looked through that prior and saw a couple things I knew he would like. Their protocol is that you order directly through the manager and it is printed in large letters on the allergen menu which I appreciated so my server was happy to immediately get the manager. while the manager explained they are not a gluten-free kitchen, she said that she is required to say that. She was very comfortable with glove changing and how to prepare his meal.My son ordered the Cantina nachos and although it was an appetizer, it was a huge serving and he only ate about half. He had a great time playing the arcade games and had no celiac symptoms!!! I would consider this a win. It is definitely more of a fast food type menu but we honestly were there so he could play the arcade and it was such a gift he could also find a meal to eat.

We had a great experience here!! They had GF marked items on the menu. I had a chimichurri bowl with salmon and a watermelon margarita. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Our server Lia was super knowledgeable and attentive. The managers were very caring and nice also! Fun family or date spot. Really appreciate that they had gluten-free items on their menu. Looking forward to coming back.

No Gluten is labeled on the menu as NG. They can’t guarantee gluten free. We haven’t had any reactions after several visits. They offer burgers with gf buns, mashed potatoes, salads, nachos

Because they just opened recently I knew not to expect much, but I told our waitress I had Celiac and in addition to the menu having indicators of GF items, she brought me the allergen menu which also helped. They brought my food out on a separate plate with a cover so it didn’t touch other food! Lots of great GF options the truffle fries and bone in wings were my favorite!

The waitress was fairly new but still worked extra hard to accommodate. The manager brought mine out separate with a cover on it to the table, and while they do have a dedicated frier, the chef recommended against it that day if I was celiac due to some concerns bread items had gotten too close, which I appreciated. It was just a burger and salad, but I was able to eat with my family and not get sick.

The manager’s wife has celiac disease and came out to discuss options. It was refreshing to have someone as knowledgeable and to know my daughter would be safe with her selections. Fryer isn’t dedicated so there aren’t a lot of options to choose from but my daughter had a burger on an udi’s bun with asparagus on the side. She said it was delicious and did not get sick.

While they have a gluten free menu it is misleading. Several items on the menu are fried and there is not a separate fryer. Luckily we asked questions. My daughter did get the salmon & it was very good. She has celiac & did not have any reactions. She did take gluten clutter pills before eating just as a precautionary since I was nervous going in after reading other reviews. She is on a school trip so didn't have the option to choose another restaurant or would have.

Went there for a Valentines Date, had checked the menu beforehand and allergen chart. Intially I was going to get the chicken wings because it had an "NG" next to it meaning "no gluten". I had checked with the server who was very friendly and double checked with her manager who had said yes no gluten. But then later the manager came over and explained to me that there could be cross contamination because of oil. When I asked what else they use the oil for it was for everything which includes their fish and chips which obviously to a celia c is contamination so I changed my order. I got the chimichurri bowl with salmon and it was delicious, no reaction. They have a couple other items also marked as NG but if my waitress hadnt pushed her manager it would have been an awful night for me. Proceed with caution.

I have celiacs and always afraid of going to restaurants. The service here was AMAZING!! The Manager came out and verified the food choices we picked and made sure we where understanding of the possibility of cross contamination which is a possibility EVERYWHERE you go. They brought my food out with protective covers and a separate server to carry just my meal. They really went above and beyond! Thank you for your understanding of my illness.

My party of 5 notified the waitress as soon as we were seated about my Celiac, she immediately called the manager, whom notifed the chef. They cleaned a spot on the grill, my food was made last to prevent cross contamination ass much as possible, I was given plastic silverware still wrapped, the food came out on it's own tray with a clear glass dome over it to prevent cross contamination. They had 5 or 6 gf options in a wide variety. It did not make me sick. 11/10 would reccomend.

It’s a lot of fun with the games. The menu has gf items marked. The nachos and other fried items are not safe as they share the same fryer. I asked if they were gf and was assured it was safe. They weren’t :(

Both the server and the manager indicated they had no faith in the kitchen staff to make a safe food modification. The menu says they have GF buns, but they pretty much shook their heads. If they were any less confident, they probably would have told me to eat elsewhere. This is especially sad because I ate here two years ago twice. During the pandemic, the menu has shrunk a lot. Both items I used to eat are gone. Since they had little confidence in the kitchen to even leave a bun off a sandwich, I ended up ordering the Cantina Nachos, one of the few GF items. I wish I’d known the calories on that before eating — blew my entire day’s worth on that (2400 cal for the whole thing). The nachos tasted fine, salty and the spice builds up. I’m grateful to the waiter and manager for being honest. It was a slow weekday at 4:30pm, so if it’s a busy weekend, forget it! Maybe they’ll soon hire new cooks? Use caution here!

I went here and I told them that I have celiac disease. The staff was knowledgeable about the disease and prevention of cross contamination. I did unfortunately get exposed to gluten but I think someone that is less sensitive would’ve probably been fine. They are very knowledgeable about allergies and even have an allergy menu

I've been here to play many times, but ate in restaurant once, the gf menu was very boring, came in a large group, everyone's food looked amazing , while I had one boring salad. Did not get sick, but not a great menu, so prob wont eat here again.

They provide a gluten free menu with three options, lettuce wrap cheeseburger (no sides), grilled salmon, or grilled chicken. Above the choices it clearly states if you have a gluten allergy you should not eat any items off of the grill or fryer as there is a high risk for cross contamination. My server said she would ask a manager what my options were. She never found out and I had no dinner.

I have celiac and I went to this restaurant knowing they only had a couple of GF options. Actually, many things on the menu don’t have gluten in them, but the risk of cross-contamination is high. For example, no dedicated fryer but the fries are gluten-free according to the allergen menu.I opted for a burger without a bun and chips and guacamole. The chips were not in a dedicated fryer. But I did not get sick.The reason for two stars is because of horrible service.. Took 10 minutes to take our drink order, another 10 minutes to take our food order, and then I waited for 25 minutes for the food to come out. I had to wait a while to get refills.The server took my order without writing it down, and got it wrong.Of course, it took a while for them to correct it. Then they run up my bill incorrectly, and the person I was eating with’s bill.Not safe for celiac‘s, but I did just fine. Probably won’t return on account of the service.

Celiac friendly?

No

Some what limited menu but good a good job.

I’m not 100% sure what rating to give them so this is tricky for me. My celiac daughter didn’t get sick from her plain grilled chicken and rice and she said it tasted good. However, the waitress wrote down the wrong food allergy even after we had a full discussion about it. The manager brought out a special allergy plate but it was French Fries and breaded chicken which both contain gluten at this restaurant. He was very kind & took the plate away, had the kitchen staff change gloves, and remake her food. He then also brought it out on a special allergy plate, was extreme apologetic & gave us $20 free in game chips. I’m not sure what rating to give because if someone had trusted the 1st meal served they definitely would have been very ill. The manager made everything right but a less aware patron or newly diagnosed celiac might not have realized the error since some restaurants are able to serve that exact meal gf. I guess my advice is to be aware & order thru a manager rather than the waitress here. I’m hesitant to put celiac friendly (even though she didn’t get sick) because of the error.

Wish I could post the picture I took of my meal. It was so good! Dairy free and gluten free! I do not have celiac so can’t attest to it being 100% safe but for my sensitive tummy it was great! I had the salmon with cherry tomatoes and spiraled veggie noodles. Highly recommend!

Only 4 gf items available. Very plain options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Cabo chicken is good - but that and only like 2 other choices. Where I like the separate list, I’m disappointed at D&B since they have a huge menu and lots of opportunity to accommodate, but don’t.

There are 4 items on the menu. FOUR ITEMS. REALLY GUYS.

It’s honestly embarrassing that they don’t even try to remotely offer a gluten free menu. Get with the times, people.

Celiac friendly?

No

Only 3 things on the gf menu. Soup, chicken and kids chicken. They don't seem to care about allergies.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They only have three items in their gluten free menu and none too appealing: tomato feta soup, chicken breast or kids chicken and rice.

They have an online gluten free menu with a few options. My server wasn’t knowledgeable so she got the manager who talked to the kitchen staff. My food came out just before the rest of my table complete with a covered tray served by the manager. The food was good and I was happy I could join in the fun and food with my family at D and B. Best of all, I didn’t get sick :)

Staff were great but one of the least gluten free-friendly restaurants I've been to. Their GF menu is limited to 4 items. Very disappointing that they haven't improved their choices by now... If not for my niece (who likes the games), I wouldn't be back.

Asked for special care due to celiac (told them severe gluten allergy) and chose from one of four items on their gluten-free list. Definitely got glutened from here. Will not go back.

Celiac friendly?

No

4 options very poor very unaware staff very disappointed

Celiac friendly?

No

I had a really good experience. The have a separate allergen menu that lays out what is available for the top allergies. I had the fire grilled salmon and it was delicious. The green beans left something to be desired. The salmon was marked as a milk allergen but when I asked they said the only dairy in it is the butter so it wasn't a problem for me. I feel like I had a safe meal and the manager was very knowledgeable with any question I had.

Be careful though. The French fries were marked as GF as long as they arent seasoned. However the manager said they are NOT cooked in a dedicated fryer.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Would give ZERO stars if I could... 4 items were listed on the "wheat / gluten allergy" menu, one from the kids menu. They were able to modify an existing menu salad & serve with a "clean" chicken breast, but there was about a tablespoon of chicken on top of a pound of the rawest, hardest salad I'd ever had the displeasure of eating: raw, sliced brussel sprouts, raw red cabbage, raw carrots sheedded... there was not enough dressing in the world to make this edible. But, the games were super fun!

Staff was not knowledgeable and upon asking the 3rd person, was given a gluten free menu. One soup, 2 entrees, 1 kids option available. I am gluten intolerant and do not feel well after eating here. Celiac’s stay away!!!!

Celiac friendly?

No

Absolutely no selection. Don’t bother coming. No knowledge on gf either.

Celiac friendly?

No

Zero knowledge. They told me food was safe but I got very sick. Manager refused to verify which item made me sick so I could avoid it in the future. They repeatedly told me everything I ate was gluten free. Finally after multiple emails back and forth they admitted the items that I specifically listed had gluten in it. Never even received an apology for their total lack of knowledge. Won't ever be returning for food.

Celiac friendly?

No

I had an AMAZING experience here. When I told the server I needed a gluten free menu, she immediately went and brought the manager over and had him explain my options. The gluten free menu is small: only about 4-5 options. However, he explained the process in the kitchen when I order: they flag my order and everyone changes their gloves. If it's something grilled, they scrub down the grill before they start cooking. When my food came, it was covered with a plastic lid to make sure nothing fell on top of it.

I then asked what sort of drinks I could have, since I had just turned 21 and didn't know much yet. The server explained that Tito's is their gluten free vodka brand, but many other vodkas are not. They created a special version of a mojito for me without the flavored liquors, which was delicious. Then the manager talked with me about ordering drinks in the future (at anywhere) and which ones to be careful of. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, understanding, and respectful. I will absolutely eat there again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

You make standard restaurant adjustments here, no bread, etc. We order the chicken breast with bbq sauce and fries or fruit for kids. manager came over to let us know fries were in same fryer as gluten items. I told him we were ok with that but I really appreciated him coming over to check. he also checked on us after food was delivered. We ate in the bowling alley.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Gluten free menu has nearly no choices on it and the staff does not seem invested or careful at all. Wouldn't recommend.

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly?

Yes
