| - We visited here with family that lives in the area. Coming from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, home of the original D & B's, I have to ask: W. T. F. ?! Any establishment with arcade games is going to be a little on the noisy side, but this was truly sensory overload from the time you walked in. Right inside the front doors is an appealing, but overpowering perfume-like scent. I wasn't sure if it was a classy air freshener or a hostess bathed in perfume before her shift, but whatever it was, it was too much. There were lights flashing everywhere, music blaring. It was like being at a rave, but the only mushrooms were of the portabella variety. Basically, it's as if D & B's is realizing their target demographic has shifted and now consists of adults who were raised having parties with talking rats and crappy pizza and stinky ball pits. They need more sensory stimulation. I get it.
The food was overpriced but decent. I had the roasted veggie sandwich and it was a little greasy, but good.
The kids enjoyed the play area and I enjoyed schooling them at skee ball, so all was not lost. They were a little disappointed that their game room "earnings" netted exactly one sticky hand and a small package of gummy bears. Life is hard, kids.
