Gone are the days of having to drive to Atlanta, Nashville, or Panama City Beach to enjoy this enormous arcade! (Sorry, Huntsville, but we beat you to it!) ![Batman Arcade Game](https://s3.amazonaws.com/happenins-in-the-ham/2018/11/DB-Batman-Game.jpg)

If you've never had the pleasure of experiencing **[Dave & Buster's](https://www.facebook.com/DBBirmingham/)** first hand, think of it as a sports bar meets Chuck E. Cheese, but with MUCH better food!
One of the best things about Dave & Buster's is it can be enjoyed by both kids AND adults. Not only is there a huge selection of games to choose from, the games themselves are huge! ![Basketball Connect 4](https://s3.amazonaws.com/happenins-in-the-ham/2018/11/DB-Connect-4-Bball.jpg)

The game floor features some enormous versions of some arcade classics and some games with a new twist like 4-way air hockey, Basketball Connect Four, and multiplayer Mario Cart! There are over 175 games to choose from! ![Snowboarding Game](https://s3.amazonaws.com/happenins-in-the-ham/2018/11/20181115_135014.jpg)

Gone are the days of tokens and paper tickets. Each customer can charge up a card with game credits and the same card keeps track of your virtual tickets for when you want to claim one of the many impressive prizes that are available!
##The Food, oh the food!
What caught us off guard was how incredibly delicious the food is! Warning: If you are hungry, what's about to come next isn't going to help. ![Platter of some Incredible Eats](https://s3.amazonaws.com/happenins-in-the-ham/2018/11/DB-Platter.jpg)

We were lucky enough to be able to sample a lot of menu items like wings, ribs, burgers, and chicken & waffles. It was all so good! The desserts were also fantastic.
