The food here is excellent, and the portions sizes are great! I like the different selection of BBQ sauces for different tastes. The restaurant was clean and lively. The only problem we ran into was that their tap-to-pay didn't want to accept our card and put us in quite the bind. Luckily we found a close-by bank and an atm.

Came with my sister, her husband, and my partner. The food was great. We left full and very satisfied. We had a big dish that was called something like an all American plate or something like that but it had ribs, corn on the cob, corn bread, fries, beans, coleslaw, and couple of other meats. The environment was very laid back and quiet.

Love going to Famous Dave’s. The food is consistently tasty, and you know what to expect. Most recently, I got the “Meal for Two” plate, so I sampled a bunch of the menu items. The chicken was flavorful, the cornbread sweet and moist, and choice of sauces satisfactory 👌🏻 Each bbq sauce has a different twist. Finally, the mason jars they serve for drinks are massive! Thanks Famous Dave’s.
