What Dave & Buster's cooks with
Undisclosed - the Spring 2026 nutrition and allergen brochures only reference 'common fryer oil' for cross-contact and never name an oil. Assumed soybean under the higher-PUFA rule, but the guide's own numbers point to a low-saturated fryer oil: Sweet Potato Fries print 10 g fat / 0 g saturated and the garlic-parmesan-truffle fries 80 g / 15 g (19%) - neither palm nor tallow could produce that. Wings are published as a calorie range only.
