Dave & Buster's Urges Shareholders to Vote ``For'' the Dave & Buster's Slate.

Business Editors

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 6, 2003

Dave & Buster's, Inc. (NYSE:DAB) today announced that it has sent the following letter to its shareholders:

DAVE & BUSTER'S SLATE -- COMMITTED TO BUILDING SHAREHOLDER VALUE

-- Tuesday's Annual Meeting Is Critical For The Future Of Your

Investment --

-- Vote "FOR" the Directors on the WHITE Proxy Card --

Dear Dave & Buster's Shareholder:

Over the past days and weeks, we have had the pleasure of speaking with many of you -- hearing your thoughts, responding to your questions, and discussing Dave & Buster's plans and prospects. Since our annual meeting is next Tuesday, June 10, we wanted to remind you to vote FOR the Dave & Buster's slate of directors on the WHITE proxy card. And we wanted to remind you of some of the reasons why we believe our three nominees -- James "Buster" Corley, CEO and COO; Peter Edison, Chairman; and Patricia Priest, a new independent director and Audit Committee Chair -- deserve your vote.

-- Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS), the nation's

foremost proxy advisory service, recommends that shareholders

vote FOR our slate in its entirety, writing in its analysis

that "we believe the current board deserves a chance to

execute its plan and deliver results."

-- Renaissance Capital, one of our largest shareholders, has

publicly endorsed our slate, citing its approval of our

corporate governance changes and our commitment to further

link management compensation to improved financial

performance. In addition, as a further indication of its

support, Renaissance withdrew its shareholder proposal to

explore a potential sale of the Company.

-- Our governance changes have been significant -- among other

things, we added three new highly qualified independent

directors with public board experience, two of whom qualify as

financial experts under the language of the Sarbanes-Oxley

Act; created completely independent audit, compensation, and

nominating and corporate governance committees; dropped the

co-CEO designation; and separated the chairman and CEO roles.

-- We further aligned the compensation of top management directly

to the Company's profitability, with significant reductions in

compensation if goals are not met.

-- We are pursuing a thorough and comprehensive business plan to

control costs, increase revenue and reduce debt -- a plan that

is already showing results despite a difficult economy. As a

result, in early May we reconfirmed our EPS guidance for

fiscal 2003 in a range of $0.77 to $0.85.

We know that our job is to get Dave & Buster's back on track, to demonstrate the enduring strength of a unique restaurant and entertainment concept, and to build and deliver value to shareholders that is significant and sustained. We are committed to achieving those goals.

We also know that a dissident shareholder -- Don Netter of Dolphin Limited Partnership -- has spent a lot of time and money sending you materials criticizing Dave & Buster's on many fronts. We disagree with much of what he has said and object to what we believe are his distortions of past history. However, in an attempt to resolve our disputes and avoid the costs to our shareholders of a proxy contest, we did offer him a board seat. Mr. Netter chose not to accept our offer, and instead has chosen to run three candidates against our slate in next Tuesday's election.

We believe that election of the Dolphin slate would divide, distract and disrupt the Board at exactly the time when our efforts have begun to demonstrate real progress. We do not believe the Dolphin slate has the necessary industry expertise, company knowledge, or long-term view of value creation to serve your interests. Please use the WHITE proxy card to vote FOR the Dave & Buster's slate -- Buster Corley, Peter Edison, and Patricia Priest. This election is critical for the future of your investment, and every vote is important. Please let your vote be counted!

We look forward to continuing our dialogue with you in the future. Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Peter Edison            James "Buster" Corley   David "Dave" Corriveau
Chairman of the Board   CEO and COO             President
