Arcadia, multi-city
Back in the late 1970s, Buster opened a restaurant known for its tasty food and friendly service. A few doors down, Dave opened an outrageous place for entertainment and games where adults were irresistibly drawn for fun. The two young entrepreneurs noticed people rotating between their establishments, and an idea started to form: What if they put both under one roof?

There are no interruptions by servers wanting to take your order, as the menu has already been curated to feature each restaurant’s most special dishes.
