Dave & Buster's Entertainment, Inc., headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a prominent American restaurant and entertainment company that seamlessly blends dining, gaming, and sports viewing into a unique experience. Established on August 31, 1982, by David O. Corriveau and James W. "Buster" Corley, the company has grown to operate 158 locations across the United States, including two in Puerto Rico and two in Canada.

Each Dave & Buster's venue features a full-service restaurant, a comprehensive bar, and an expansive video arcade known as the "Million Dollar Midway." The dining menu offers a diverse selection, including pastas, burgers, steaks, seafood, and desserts, catering to a wide range of tastes.

The arcade boasts a variety of interactive games and simulators, providing entertainment for guests of all ages.

The company is also known for its innovative approach to customer engagement, including the introduction of the Power Card system in 1997.
