Was once a great steak place. Before it became Daves. Now the staff try really hard but the food sucks and so do the prices. Will not return.

Not Gluten friendly at all BBQ sauce and sauce for Brisket has wheat in it. Had a salad. Husband loves the beans, ribs, and chicken wings. (Wings are deep fried in the same oil as the breaded chicken) The salad was large and very good. Brought my son home the Peach cobbler he said it was very good. If they offered sauces that were Gluten friendly, I would give them 5 stars. Waitress very friendly, good service.

Food not bad , but they are so OVERPRICED it is ridiculous, must be nice to pay $30.00 + plus a TIP . I guess they must think there serving ribeyes instead of basically the cheapest cuts of the cow . You can basically buy a whole brisket marinade it throw it on the grill and slow cook 275 to 325 , 50 minutes per pound and you get moist brisket for about $3.00 per plate . They charge $17.50 for a friggen sandwich !!!Disgusting and Gouging .Not Recommended and not that good with small portions.

Great food, nice friendly atmosphere, but i was kind of ignored while standing at the front hostess stand while several employees walked by, and then waited at the togo counter for another 4 or 5 minutes. Not the end of the world but that aspect of the restaurant could definitely be improved.

We ordered 2 steak dinners through Grubhub and at delivery one steak dinner was missing. I contacted the restaurant and they told me they packed both dinners and the driver must have kept the one dinner. I spoke with the driver and he denied having the dinner and reported what he delivered is what was in the order given him. I spoke to a worker at the restaurant who spoke to a manager and reported they have on camera that they packed 2 orders and that we need to call Grubhub. I find it hard to believe the driver stole the steak dinner and the restaurant would not even consider the possibility they made a mistake, as mistakes do happen. The one steak was bright red, almost raw, and the order was for medium. I have ordered from this places 2 to 3 times a month for the last year and will no longer order from them. There was no concern, empathy, or considering on their part. Essentially, its not out fault, the driver took the meal, and call Grubhub.

This place is my favorite go-to spot for BBQ in CO Springs. I’ve tried others but none have been as good as Famous Dave’s. I hosted an event at work and had Famous Dave’s cater…… It was a hit! I was thanked over and over again for such a great choice.

I was so disappointed. I remember they used to have good BBQ. The fries were hotter than our entrees, and the ribs weren't very tender. Considering the cost, I expected a lot more. We should have gone to Dickeys. Won't be coming back. Should've known by the nearly empty parking lot on a Friday night.
