FanBolt Hits Up Dave & Busters For Comic Con Planning Dinner!

The FanBolt dream team met up at Dave & Busters in Marietta, Georgia last week to go over our plans for this week’s Comic Con coverage, and we also wanted to check out the offerings of the newly renovated location! From a brand new modernized interior to new state-of-the-art arcade games that you used to only be able to play on your smart phones, Dave & Busters kept us entertained with our bellies full for the whole night!

It’s estimated that the Marietta location spent around $2.7 million on updating the interior and adding new games – these aren’t the only changes however. D&B also has more delicious menu offerings and more adult friendly prizes that you can swap those game play tickets for!

So what did we try out? Here’s what we recommend!

FanBolt Fave Entrees

Legendary Goldfingers (Editor’s Pick)
Not only is this legend for real, it’s one of D&B’s all-time original
favorites. Hand-breaded, crispy fried chicken tenders served with seasoned French fries and chipotle honey sauce, it won’t take long to figure out why.

Black Jack BBQ Ribs
Slow-cooked, tender and juicy “St. Louis-style” pork ribs glazed with sweet BBQ sauce, made with Jack Daniel’s.® Served with loaded garlic mashed potatoes.

The Lawnmower
Life is random and wild and a bit crazy at times and, really, isn’t that what makes it exciting? Our Lawnmower salad is layered using fresh romaine and green leaf lettuces, grilled chicken, diced garden vegetables, boiled eggs, bacon bits and bleu cheese crumbles. Served with your choice of dressing.

FanBolt Fave Dessert

Bananas Foster Pie
Chilled banana pudding and vanilla sponge cake layered in a cinnamon-graham pastry with rum sauce and warm caramel.

Triple Layer Chocolate Cake (Editor’s Pick)
A generous slice of our scrumptious, triple layer chocolate cake. Alternating layers of creamy, rich frosting and moist, decadent cake, a drizzling of liquid fudge and a dusting of fine cocoa create a chocolate fantasy sure to satisfy even the most discerning sweet tooth.

New York Cheesecake
Our classic NYC cheesecake guaranteed to be rich, creamy and delicious. Served with warm caramel and pecans or with raspberry sauce.
