The food was fantastic.
We reserved a table for 4 on Valentine day. It was odd that the restaurant was only half full on that day but soon found out why.
The order took 30 minutes and only after I had to remind them that our waitress vanished long ago after bringing us water.
We never did get silverware so I stole them from another table that hadn't been seated yet.
The waitress had zero information on the special Valentine dinner that we were to get and had to go ask her manager. When she returned we placed our orders.
Maybe 30 minutes later she brought out 1 salad of the 4 we ordered.
About 10 minutes later we got 2 main plates of the 4 we ordered.
10 minutes later we got a 2nd salad. 10 minutes later we got 2 more main plates. One was undercooked.
10 minutes later and only after we asked, we got the 2 later salads and sent the steak back to be finished. We got in back in about 5 minutes.
The deserts were fantastic but again 2 now and 2 about 10 minutes later.
By this time we say 2 other tables just leave the restaurant because of the wait. The restaurant was still half full.
We played some of their games. This is not an exaggeration...fornever 3 games we tried to play only 1 actually worked. Some didn't see the game cards. Some didn't keep score. Some took the points from the cards but didn't let you play. Some worked.
We resorted to throwing darts. There are 4 targets but they only had darts for 2 and they were bent and missing tail ends.
After about 30 minutes we went back to the table. Still no ticket to pay. The girl at the front didn't even say sorry and actually acted like games not working was a normal thing and if I wanted to pay I would have to track down the waitress myself.
I did and after asking for a ticket she brought one ...10 minutes later. Zero apologies or price comps or even a free game play. Just laid it there and said Here is is.
The whole night was ridiculous but none of us are angry.
It game us a fantastic story to tell everyone about the worse restaurant we had ever been to despite it tasting delicious.

We went here because they had a Valentine's day special and thought it would be fun. The service was horrible! We sat for an hour before any food came out. Our server didn't know about the special or anything else about the menu. Two of us received our main course before receiving our salad. We all were served our food at different times. Three of us were served our dessert while the fourth guest waited and didn't get theirs until the rest of the table was finished. All around a terrible experience. Unfortunate, because the food actually taste good. We waited for our ticket to pay for our food, but finally just went and played some games. Went back to our table and still didn't have a ticket to pay for our meal. We had to track the server down. Our reservation was at 5:30 pm, we finally received the last of our meal at 8pm.

This place is like one giant party!

I came here with a large group, and we all enjoyed our time here. Their appetizers are great. I especially recommend the giant pretzel. The pizza was only alright, so I probably won't get that again. Their service was fantastic.

They have plenty of activities ranging from axe throwing to arcade games to corn hole. This is a great place to go if you want a fun night out with friends.

The food was bar food. Yummy but nothing to write home about. They have good games. I think they need several more ski-ball tables. There was a line 10 deep! Lots of large TV’s which everyone loves.

We visited this location for the first time on a bingo night for the family night special and our whole family had a blast playing bingo and enjoying the games. It was a great way to be able to spend some fun times with our young adult kids. The server we had was amazing and she was incredible attentive and accommodating. We have been back several times since and enjoyed each time just as much. The food is so good and reasonably priced as well. We have yet to get anything we didn't enjoy. I have to order extra sidewinders every then also.

The set up of Dogwood and the food are both awesome, especially for the prices. Would love to come back and give it another try in case it was an off night.

Pros:
1. Great food and prices
2. Lots of fun stuff to do!
3. Great location with lots of space!

Cons:
1. The arcade area had issues on about 40% of its machines. To the point that we lost about $20 worth of arcade credits on things that didn’t function.
2. Part of our order was missed. It was a big order so that happens. Not a deal breaker but annoying.
3. This is the weird one and a big one. The bathrooms were absolutely awful. Dirty and without paper products. They need to be checked more frequently.

Been to this location twice and service was okay both times, hard to flag someone to take your order so we ended up waiting for quite some time.

Food was okay, a bit expensive for bar food.

The beer tap option was pretty nice though, good selection. Drinks were also decent.

Games get pretty busy and some machine just ate all our credits and staff wasn't really as helpful so.

Large bar space with many TV screens, self-serve beer taps, darts, pool, corn hole, bowling, beer pong, axe throwing and an arcade. Get a game card and beer card to partake in the festivities. Corn hole bags and darts are kept at the bar. They have fantastic specialty cocktails. I enjoyed a spicy margarita. My husband got Guinness beer from the tap. He said it was a great deal. Perfect for large groups and date nights.
