worst service ever!!! ordered food through application and the restaurant is a Johnny Carinos . they do not take any responsibility for service as it is done through the App. Ordered food to be ready at 5:30 on father's day. Was greeted and told food was being assembled and be out shortly. Waited 30 minutes and was given same response. Was disturbed by lack of responsibility taken as my food was not ready and especially after waiting thirty minutes. refund was said to be given...read full review

Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que offers a varied experience with many highlights in its food and service. The food is often described as delicious and phenomenal, with great portions. Specific praised items include the brisket, the ribeye steak combo with ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, and barbecue hamburgers, with many noting the quality and value as a steal. Customers report feeling stuffed but satisfied, becoming return customers.
Service is frequently excellent, with servers noted as amazing, kind, attentive, and making guests feel at home and taken care of. They are commended for personal greetings, helpful recommendations, and keeping drinks refilled. However, experiences can be inconsistent. Some visits note issues like cold food, missing items such as cornbread muffins or forks and napkins in to-go orders, and occasional unprofessional staff interactions. The atmosphere can range from not busy at all to a bit busy. Despite some shortcomings, many customers express a definite intent to come back.
