Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que

Famous Dave’s never disappoints. The wait is long at times, and having a reservation system would make it top hog (pun intended).

Went in for dinner with my family and was seated first by a young male hostess. We got our menus and as we are waiting for the server an older grey hair and mustache pointed to the hostess with an attitude that not there(whatever that meant). The hostess comes back and notifies us that the server notified the manager we had to move from the booth because we had our infants carseat. Our booth was located next to the wall not blocking anyones way or any other booth. Even the young male apologize and said it didn’t make sense to move us. The restaurant wasn’t even full but I guess the server doesn’t like children, he already had an attitude since the beginning. We gladly left and went to another restaurant to avoid any more bad service. The service is a joke, the place has gone down in the last couple of years. Take your hard earned money somewhere else where it’s valued.

Excelent food and service! The best ribs, and beans!.

The 4-piece fried chicken meal here was excellent and worth recommending. The chicken was hot, crispy, and seasoned well, with a good balance of crunch and tenderness. The mac and cheese was creamy and rich, with a noticeable buttery flavor that paired well with the meal. The chili was hearty, flavorful, and had a solid mix of beans and meat, making it a strong side option rather than a simple filler. The cornbread was soft and slightly sweet, rounding the plate out nicely.

Portions were generous, the food came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh. Overall, this was a satisfying and well-executed comfort meal. I would return for the chicken alone, but the sides make it an even better value.

What can I say... The brisket and the ribs were dry and over cooked... I think the meat was just sitting under a heat lamp until the servers put in an order. A barbecue establishment that screws up their barbecue... 🤔 When exactly were you, "famous," Dave?

A little overpriced but overall good flavor. 👍

I went there at lunch time. Service was really good. The food is ... Let me explain. 2 of the 3 items were fantastic! 1 item I didn't like at all. The server noticed and asked about it, and I told them that I just didn't like it. Within 2 minutes Jesus Serrano the GM was at my table. We had a conversation and he was genuinely asking questions about why I didn't like that item. He asked me what specifically I didn't like about the item, was it the texture, temperature, the presentation, taste etc. Then we talked for a minute about different types of food we both enjoyed. That is a good GM they have! I will return in the future.

Service was good. But what really sucked was that I went in there for dinner with a party of 6 & turns out they don't serve baked potatoes after 4pm That's some BS. Fire that store manager for that Bullshit. We love baked potatoes for dinner!
