I've only ever been to a Dave & Buster's once. And it was AEWSOME! I'm a huge gamer and a huge foodie, so combining the two is a no brainer for me. And now it just got even easier to visit as a new location opens for the first time in Iowa.

Unfortunately it will be a bit of a drive for me, but since I have family in the area a trip to Des Moines is definitely worth it come July 31st when a brand new Dave & Buster's 21,000 square foot facility opens at Jordan Creek Parkway near the Residence Inn by Marriott east of Jordan Creek Town Center Lake and just south of Jordan Creek Town Center near the cinemas.

According to reports, the space will include more than 100 arcade games, and what Dave & Buster's calls a massive 40-foot “WOW” Wall; featuring dozens of HDTVs for sports viewing. Games include "Wicked Tuna,"

a "Top Gun: Maverick" VR game,

and dodgeball. You will also be able to enjoy classics like Pac-Man and Skee-Ball, all located on Dave & Buster's Million Dollar Midway.

Not only are the games a blast the food is good too! Their menu offers barbecue flatbread, Philly cheesesteak, boneless wings, and also includes gluten-friendly and vegetarian options.
