Food + Games

Alpharetta is home to some epic experiences that combine amazing eats with exciting feats. Drop into Dave & Busters for action-packed arcade games paired with a magnificent menu. The kids’ menu features classics like cheeseburgers, chicken tenders, pretzel dogs and macaroni & cheese, while the main menu has everything from Asian Chicken Wonton Nachos to an insanely good Fire-Grilled Steak with Bacon Wrapped Shrimp & Lobster Sauce. After everyone enjoys their food, send them into the arcade to play hundreds of games. The whole family will be fueled AND happy!

Check out Main Event Entertainment for bowling while you bite into delish offerings like the Main Event Burger for the big kids (and adults) or the Super Sliders from the kid’s menu. Take turns on the bowling alley while enjoying food and drinks, then venture to the laser tag course or the pool tables. Main Event also offers a Food and Fun Combo where you can pair an entrée and game play for a discounted rate, making an arcade foray entertaining and affordable.

Swing into Topgolf Alpharetta where a high-tech driving range meets yummy eats. Enjoy bites in your bay, with Chicken Bites or a JR Cheeseburger for the children. Younger golfers can play games like Angry Birds, where your golf skills don’t have to be pro level just to win. Ask about the Topgolf Kidzone for seasonal academies, leagues and golf lessons to help your improve their skills before your next Topgolf outing!
