No need to build the suspense.

Dave & Buster’s opens Monday in Huntsville. 11 a.m.

Game on.

Bring your boss or fake a fever. Or, hey, just take the day off or – if you must work – consider a long lunch.

When Eric Drescher, the general manager of the Huntsville location, describes Dave & Buster's as the "ultimate destination for fun," it requires no imagination whatsoever to see what he's talking about.

Walk in the front door of the Dave & Buster's located in the MidCity development on University Drive and you're standing at the start of what Drescher described as the "million dollar midway" – the gateway to seemingly any video game you can imagine in what might kindly be described as an arcade on steroids.

Look to the left and see walls of giant televisions in the eating area – where you can consume food, beverage and, of course, adult beverage.

Drescher said that will also be a destination location for watching whatever sporting event you want to see – from the usual college football on Saturdays and NFL games on Sundays to UFC fights. Some of those TVs are as large as 169 inches and for some games, Dave & Buster's will crank up the volume so you can hear the commentary from the broadcasters.

But the insider’s tip: Walk directly through the glowing lights of that million dollar midway to the back of the facility until you see what’s likely to be a line at the virtual reality game. Then get in that line and await your turn at a choice of, well, alternate realities – Jurassic World (wink, wink), Men In Black, Star Trek and DragonQuest.

Drescher said they expect a crowd from the time the doors open. And if the 26,000-squre feet facility reaches its capacity of 1,300 customers, there is a spacious indoor waiting area.

"We will be busy but it will never feel full," Drescher said.

Dave & Buster's is also available for rental – in case you wanted to bring 1,300 or so of your closest friends to a private party. Drescher said there are already some corporate neighbors signed up for events, which can also accommodate outings for as few as 10 people.

And while Dave & Buster's serves food favorites such as cheeseburgers and chicken fingers, Drescher emphasized there is a healthy food menu and a chef on staff to go beyond what might be expected.

“It speaks to the authenticity and the quality of who Dave & Buster’s are,” he said.
