Best place to reserve for large parties! my family does large parties here about twice a year and they always remember us when we come in separately. I loooooove the cajun chicken sandwhich and the strawberry lemonade. Such a friendly

SOOOOOOOO many TVs for the game. They have really good Happy Hour deals also. Usually seems to be a lot of take out but that just makes the food service so much better because there are not a ton of other people sitting down. Love the rib tips and Nikko makes the best

The worst BBQ I’ve had to date. Will not be going back there‼️ Next time I’ll patiently wait until Smoking Woods or Roderick’s is open.

Where is the beef? Well... Famous Dave's got the meat. Perfectly cooked, tender, various barbecue sauce available at the table to go with the meat. I was surprised by how yummy their corn bread was. I even ordered an extra for the road ?

Some great bbq, with great presentation. The burnt ends didn't really feel like burnt ends, more just like regular rib meat, but it was still really good and everything besides that was fantastic.Vegetarian options: It's bbq. I don't recommend coming here if you aren't looking to eat a lot of meat.

Is it so difficult to find good food and service in this post-COVID world? Seriously. I prefer to write good comments and reviews, but someone throw me a friggin' bone! Our first clue that this was going to be a bad experience was the place was empty at this time on a sunday night. We go to the counter to order, because they dont take your order from the tables, so you order, pay, then go find a seat. Paying like this makes you leave a tip when you order if you only have a card, and honestly who carries tip cash nowadays? So we wait for probably 10 minutes until someone finally comes to the counter, does she offer to take our order? No, she logs on the computer / register and starts tapping her way to long for food service fingernails on the screen and ignores us. I finally say, "is there someone who can take our order?". Oh, suddenly she is able to do that. The TV's were turned to nickelodeon and is so loud that you cant even hear yourself speak, and I am practically half deaf (seriously, medically tested, I can't hear crap) and the sound was so loud it was giving ME a headache. We order, pay, pre tip on the credit card I ask that the sound be turned down and to something more age appropriate for a bbq joint, and we go find a table. We sit, a male worker comes out with a remote control to change the channel. Low and behold, he changed the channel allright, but to soccer that HE could see from where he was standing near the kitchen door. Luckily they at least turned the sound down, so we got to continue watching nickelodeon... Our food finally arrives... Cold. There are literally 2 other tables in the restaurant and our food comes out cold. I go to put some bbq sauce on my brisket and the lid falls off and a big glob of sauce falls on my tray, luckily missing most of the cold food. This tells me the bottles are not being checked or cleaned between guests. Gross. My partner has ordered an ice tea ($5 for an ice tea... yes $5). He usually takes a few packs of sweetener... it takes another five minutes to flag someone down to bring some out, and they bring 3 packs for quart size jar of tea. We are both crazy hungry and reluctantly eat the cold bbq, since no one came to check on us, ask if everything was ok, it we had any concerns... nothing. My water and his tea are empty, sitting on the edge of the table in hopes someone might realize we would like refills... nothing... We literally had to get up, go to another table to get bbq sauces and ketchup because no one had any intention of providing any type of service. Our rule of thumb now is, we will NEVER pre-tip again, anywhere. If you don't have the option to tip after service is provided, you will not be getting a tip of any kind. I am not sure how this place has so many 5 star reviews, unless the staff is writing them, because I am only giving a 1 star review because that is the lowest I can rate this place. If you are looking for good food, service and BBQ, look elsewhere because this is not the place.

Alright so what can I say about Famous Dave's!1. Good was pretty good honestly I had some wings and ribs.2. The service was amazing! I Geselle (hope I'm spelling that right) as my server and she was phenomenal she was talkative made us feel like we were at home. She was on top of our orders, I have been here before and never had service like hers by far their best server in the house. She brought our food out hot, was constantly checking up on us and making sure we didn't need anything. Geselle did an amazing job serving us coming back mainly for her as a server my wife loved her personality'.Thank you Geselle for the great service!

20 minutes in after ordering and the server never brought or remembered the water, but alas, finally checked in after almost half an hour. Whoever was working the bar shift on 11/6 at around 6pm needs to find another form of employment. I've been a server for over 6 years and this was atrocious. Then to wait almost 30 minutes for the food to come out when there were only 3 tables sat in the restaurant is a sure way to lose business along with the piss poor service. You're working for a tip, act like it. Your food/ticket times need much improvement as well as staffing, I get you probably have your lesser staff working a Monday night but I'd definitely have a serious talk with the gentleman working behind the bar tonight. He will lose you business and keep getting you negative reviews.
