A restaurant combining food and fun, Dave & Buster's offers plenty of delicious-sounding food. For those watching their calories, though, the question is whether the restaurant's menu choices can fit into their daily caloric limit. Dave and Buster's New York City restaurant lists its calories on the menu to help make healthy choices.
Appetizers
Dave & Busters' "Starters" section includes the caloric monster of the appetizer trio--crispy potato skins, Buffalo wings and tortilla chips with cheese--ringing in at 4,830 for four servings. It also offers a relatively healthy choice of Philly steak rolls for 483 calories and the very healthy edamame for 303 calories.
Soup and salad
Salad should be the healthiest option on any menu, but most restaurant-goers knows that's usually not true. Dave & Buster's has some very healthy choices with its small salads ranging from 40 calories (house salad) to 480 calories (Greek salad), and large salads ranging from 250 calories (Southwestern salad with grilled chicken) to the not-very-healthy 1,121 calories (Parmesan-crusted chicken Caesar).
Entrees
If you're looking for a healthy entree at Dave & Buster's, stay away from the steaks, which all boast more than 1,000 calories per dish. A better choice is the grilled chipotle chicken served with garlic mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley, all of which is only 544 calories.
Burgers and sandwiches
While Dave & Buster's does offer a veggie burger that has 922 calories, the rest of its sandwich and burger menu all comes in at more than 1,000 calories per dish (which includes seasoned French fries). What's the worst offender: Dave's double cheeseburger has 1,643 calories.
Dessert
Those with a sweet tooth hopefully have some daily allotted calories to spare. The least-caloric dessert item is the bananas foster pie for 560 calories. The highest item is the decadent-sounding hot sugared donut holes, served with raspberry and chocolate dipping sauces, contains 1,850 calories.
