Davenport

Dave & Buster’s opens in Davenport

By Joel Kellar,

2026-01-19

Despite the frigid temperatures, people started their Monday off waiting in line, hoping to be one of the first 100 people into the brand-new Dave & Buster’s in Davenport.

John McAndrew and his two sons, Tyson and Maximus, were some of the last arrivals to the line, just a few minutes after the doors opened for the first time.

“We thought they’d have school today. Well, they had it off because of Martin Luther King Jr. Day,” said McAndrew. “Then right at the last minute, (Tyson and Maximus) were, like, let’s get up there and try it. I’m, like, I don’t know if it’ll work, but we’ll try it.”

As they walked through the doors, hoping to still be within the first 100 people in the building, McAndrew and his sons saw the play cards dwindle down to the last few. When they got to the Dave & Buster’s greeter with the cards, there were still enough left. They heard her say 97, 98, and 99. The McAndrew’s received the free card by just a hair.

The inside of the newest entertainment center in the Quad Cities was a scene of pure chaos and fun. The Davenport Central High School marching band played music to add energy to the ‘wow factor’ people experienced while they first entered.

“To see this whole building come to life and, yeah, to see the faces as people walk through the door, it’s a wonderful feeling,” said Joshua Kindig, the general manager of the Davenport Dave & Buster’s.

The new entertainment center also fills an empty building on Elmore Avenue. One of the things that Davenport mayor Jason Gordon says is important about bringing Dave & Buster’s to the Quad Cities.

“It’s kind of associated with bigger communities. You know, you think of a Chicago or Kansas City or St Louis, so it’s kind of nice to have this feather in our cap,” said Gordon. “To have a brand like Dave & Buster’s here in the Quad Cities.”

Within the first 90 minutes of opening, there were already well over 100 visitors. With all of them exploring what Dave & Buster’s has to offer.

Dave & Buster’s is located at 5248 Elmore Ave., Davenport.

I wanted to find out where Walmart's beef comes from, so I visited a Walmart store in Oregon to see what information I could find in the beef department and the packaging. Earlier this week, I published an article on NewsBreak sharing about where Kroger has been sourcing its beef from - Where Kroger Is Getting Its Beef From Right Now - Here's What to Know. I have been wondering where other grocery stores are sourcing their meat from as well. So I went into a Walmart store in Oregon this morning to see what I could find.

7 Dishes That Filled Graduation Party Tables in the 1970s and 1980s

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. The open house ran from noon until the food was gone, which was usually the better measure. Someone put up a banner over the garage door, someone else hauled in folding tables, and by one o'clock there were thirty people in the backyard, holding paper plates. The graduate circulated with an envelope in each hand. The adults stood over the tables and ate.

This Stops Heartburn Almost Instantly—No Tums Needed

Heartburn always seems to hit after the exact meal I was enjoying the most, and I got tired of reaching for Tums every time. Marshmallow root and slippery elm have been used for generations to soothe the digestive tract, they form a gentle, coating layer that calms that burning feeling fast. This has become my first move now instead of chewing on chalky tablets. 😊

Slow Cooker Beef and Mushroom Stew Makes the House Smell Incredible

Tender beef, earthy mushrooms, potatoes, carrots, onions, and herbs slowly simmer together in a savory broth that tastes as though someone watched it all afternoon. Browning the flour-coated beef first creates deeper flavor, while briefly cooking the mushrooms and aromatics helps them develop before they enter the slow cooker. Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste add richness to the broth, and thyme, rosemary, and a bay leaf give it the unmistakable aroma of old-fashioned stew. After several hours, the beef becomes fork-tender and the vegetables soak up every bit of flavor.

7 Home Ec Recipes That 60s and 70s Teenagers Never Stopped Making

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. Home economics class sat in the back corner of most American high schools through the 1960s and 1970s, and for a lot of teenagers it was the first time they cooked something from start to finish without anyone finishing it for them. The curriculum covered yeast bread, rolled cookies, simple casseroles, and basic pastry. Recipes came from a classroom cookbook or a mimeographed sheet from the teacher herself, who had often been running the same course for years.

This is the first cake gone at every Southern potluck table

There's a reason this cake never makes it home from a potluck. Someone always asks for the recipe before the plate is even empty. This isn't a dressed-up cake mix. It's a true from-scratch Southern pound cake, dense and buttery, with chopped pecans folded right into the batter so every slice gets that nutty crunch instead of just a sprinkle on top.

Old-Fashioned Tea Cakes Bring Back a Beloved Southern Tradition

Soft, buttery, and gently sweet, these old-fashioned tea cakes fall somewhere between a tender sugar cookie and a pillowy biscuit. Butter and sugar are creamed until light, then enriched with eggs and vanilla before flour, baking powder, and salt form the uncomplicated dough. They bake quickly, developing lightly golden edges while remaining pale and soft through the center. The flavor is simple in the best possible way, carrying the sort of homemade warmth that makes an heirloom recipe feel instantly familiar even when you are trying it for the first time.

Tiffany Trump: The Apple That Didn't Fall Far From The Tree

I think we all know that there is something very off about the Trump dynasty, that sprawling American tragedy dressed up in Brioni suits and spray tans, where each act reveals fresh horrors that somehow manage to surpass the last. Donald Trump himself is a menacing wonder to behold on so many levels, a figure so cartoonishly malevolent that fiction writers would reject him as too implausible. Normally, one would argue that dragging politicians' children into the spotlight crosses an ethical line, after all, most didn't choose the glare of public scrutiny. But the Trump offspring? They don't just seek the spotlight; they sprint toward it with the desperation of moths to a flame.

Peach Cobbler Donut Hand Pies Bring Bakery Flavor Anywhere

Peach Cobbler Donut Hand Pies wrap cinnamon-scented fruit inside flaky pastry, then add a vanilla glaze for true bakery-counter appeal. The peach filling is soft, sweet, and warmly spiced, delivering the nostalgic flavor of cobbler without needing a bowl or spoon. Sealed inside individual crusts, the fruit stays juicy while the exterior bakes or fries into golden layers. The glaze settles across the cooled pies and forms a thin, sweet shell reminiscent of a freshly finished doughnut. Every bite combines buttery pastry, tender peaches, vanilla, and cinnamon in a portable package.

Louisiana Seafood Gumbo Builds Big Flavor One Layer at a Time

Louisiana Seafood Gumbo begins with a dark roux, the slow-cooked combination of flour and oil that gives the finished pot its nutty flavor and deep color. Onion, celery, garlic, herbs, and spices build the aromatic base before sliced andouille sausage adds smoky heat. Shrimp and sweet crab meat enter later so they remain tender, creating a hearty mixture of seafood, sausage, and richly seasoned broth. Every spoonful delivers warmth and complexity, with the roux connecting the many bold ingredients rather than allowing any single flavor to dominate.

7 Christmas Eve Dishes Different American Families Swore By

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. On December 24th, the question was never what to cook for Christmas Eve supper. It was already decided, usually before anyone in the house was born. In Texas, that meant tamales. In Minnesota, lutefisk. In New Mexico, a pot of posole that had gone on the stove that morning. Each family treated the meal as settled law, and each was absolutely certain their version was the correct one.

Nacho Cheese Beef Wraps Make Weeknight Dinner Feel Like Fast Food

Nacho Cheese Beef Wraps fill soft tortillas with seasoned ground beef and warm, creamy cheese sauce. The savory beef provides the hearty center, while nacho cheese spreads through every fold and keeps the filling rich and cohesive. Add crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, jalapeños, sour cream, or crushed chips and the wrap gains the contrasting textures of a loaded taco. It delivers the indulgence of a drive-through order but can be assembled at home in less time than many takeout trips require.
