My family and I went to Famous Dave's this weekend. We were seated quickly. Our waiter was very attentive, he replenished our drinks and checked on us regularly. It was busy, but didn't feel like it. It was a perfect evening for a nice dinner. The ambiance was fun and family oriented.

Love this spot for bbq! They have an awesome open house event in the summer where you can meet Dave himself. I like their bbq sauce. It is smoky and sweet and absolutely perfect. The ribs that I had had meat fall off the bone and they were absolutely delicious. My kids loved the pulled pork.

I haven't been to Famous Dave's in almost 15 years and this trip was well over due! This meal was incredible. Our server Jewel was amazing, she was helpful, fast, and very nice. The ribs were extremely tender and the drinks, were fantastic. The corn bread was the star of the show!

The service was great. The server, John, was very polite, hospitable, and extremely accommodating. He gets 5 stars. The place is pretty basic as expected for a bbq spot. The food was pretty mid. The ribs were great, the chicken was ok, and the sausage sucked. The price range is relatively reasonable, and they have specials each day plus a good happy hour.

I had a gift card. Honestly, I did not expect to be impressed because I've been disappointed by Dave in the past. I and my date (my daughter) got the burger with bacon and pulled pork. That was one good burger! I'm looking for a reason to go back just to get that burger again.

7.25.23 I am finally able to eat solid food again after 2.5 weeks following a soft food diet. I remembered Famous Daves has Feast 2-sday's ($10 off on Feast for 2 on Tuesdays) so asked my hubby to take me here for dinner. The feast comes with corn muffins, corn on cob, coleslaw, baked beans, fries, ribs, and the choice of 2 select meats. We chose the roasted chicken and brisket. Our server forgot the corn muffin, but fortunately I remembered and requested them. Everything was good with the exception of the corn, which I thought was to soft and overcooked. My husband says he prefers Mission BBQ even though he thought the food was good. He says from a price point, you get more bang for your buck at Famous Dave's compared to Mission. We brought leftovers home and are to make an additional two meals for lunch with it. That averages out to $10 per meal. Given the cost of dining out at the moment, that's a really good deal.
