DAVE & BUSTER’S REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2004 EARNINGS

DALLAS (June 7, 2004) Dallas - Dave & Buster’s Inc. (NYSE:DAB), a leading operator of upscale restaurant/entertainment complexes, announced earnings for its first quarter ended May 2, 2004.

Total revenue for the first quarter increased 3.7 percent, or $3.4 million, to $95.0 million from $91.6 million in the prior year’s comparable quarter. Food and beverage revenue increased 2.8 percent and amusement and other revenue increased 4.6 percent. Revenue from comparable stores increased 1.7 percent for the quarter. Special event revenue on a comparable store basis was 12.6 percent of total revenue compared to 12.2 percent of total revenue in the first quarter last year. Operating income for the period increased 4.2 percent to $7.0 million compared to $6.7 million last year. Net income for the quarter was $3.6 million, or $.25 per diluted share, compared to net income in the same period last year of $3.0 million, or $.23 per diluted share. Consensus earnings estimates for the quarter were $.23 per diluted share. The number of diluted shares outstanding increased 22.1 percent to 16.192 million shares in the current quarter compared to 13.264 million shares last year, primarily as a result of the convertible debt issued during last fiscal year.

“We are pleased to see the comparable store revenues turn positive in the first quarter, and the increase in amusement revenues is certainly encouraging,” stated Buster Corley, the Company’s CEO. “The earnings improvement continues to show that our ongoing plan of reducing costs while increasing our comparable store revenues is working. We remain focused on these objectives and believe we will be successful in finding additional efficiencies in our operations.”

“It is important to note that we improved our earnings for the fifth consecutive quarter, even with the more than 22 percent increase in diluted shares outstanding,” commented Dave Corriveau, the Company’s President. Mr. Corriveau continued, “We are pleased to announce that our Mexican licensee opened their second store in Monterrey last month. In addition, we are on target to open our new Santa Anita store in the third quarter. “
