As of March 2023 this place was long closed down. News article from Sept 2022 said Famous Daves location was packing up and leaving town.

I adore the setting and BBQ style of service, but I think this particular branch looks closed. It's confusing if I should even bother to visit. I hope they can stay in business.

We were informed that they’re closing for good soon. We purchased a family feast, and was so salty we couldn’t eat the ribs and brisket. I guess they didn’t care what they served customers.

Ordered ribs , mashed potatoes and green beans and cornbread muffin. Ribs were too salty and I somehow forgot I was eating ribs. The side were tiny scoops of dry mashed potatoes and uneventful green beans. I'd rather go to ShopRite and get prepackaged and prepared ribs for $7.99. will NOT be back ?

Ordered dinner/dessert from here tonight. It was not good. I had the Texas Brisket Sandwich, and the meat was dry with burnt ends that were not edible. The collard greens and cornbread muffin were good though. My husband had Dave's Favorite Burger, which was dry. We had the bread pudding for dessert, and the pecan praline sauce just made it too overly sweet to even eat much of it. Will not be ordering here again.

Ribs were awesome ? Now I understand why my mother makes me stop by here when she is in town. The ribs are cooked perfect moist tender smoky and full of flavor. The ribs have that authentic smoke house flavor. Oh and the corn bread???? A must try.... I will definitely make sure you guys will have pictures next time

Worst BBQ I have ever eaten. Meat was mushy. Tasted like it had been left to slow cook 12 hours too long. The sauce was water line terrible and I really mean terrible. I am comparing this to cookouts where people barbecue for the 1st time this literally may be the worst barbecue I've ever had.

T-Mobile recently offered a promo for a free entree and side. Since we were in the middle of a move which left us with little to no cookware and plates, we've been living off takeout for a week.Decided to place a lunch order for Cajun Chicken with Garlic Red-Skin Mashed Potatoes and the Texas Beef Brisket with Famous Fries. Sandwiches are quite large and filling.Both sandwiches were very good and I loved the option for side sauces (highly recommend Devil's Spit BBQ Sauce if you can handle a little heat). The garlic mashed potatoes were a little letdown as it was just a super dry clump. Let's just say you didn't need a fork or spoon to eat it as you could literally just pickup the entire container and let the mash fall into your hand as a ball.

Overall good experience. As of 3/27/22, they do not offer traditional dine in service, and is take out only. However, they do have a section of their dining room open for you to e njoy your take out. The area was very clean and the food was pretty good today.
I was craving some southern cuisine and had been thinking about eating here for a few weeks. On my birthday, I was lured here under the false pretenses of “free dessert” which showed up as a coupon in my email.Boy was this place a nightmare. I arrived and was rudely told I *could* sit down if I really wanted to but that my food would be served to me in disposable dinner baskets. I ordered anyways since I was already here. I had to buy soda from their take out since they would not serve me water in a cup. They wanted tip. I’m not joking.Ribs arrived over cooked and stale. Fries had no salt and there was absolutely no salt at my table and no waiter to assist me in requisitioning some. Worst of all was this abomination of a dessert. The ice cream was frozen to a solid brick and came at the same time as my other food. I left and went to Aldi next door for a $4 gelato to make up for this train wreck of a meal.You tell me that dessert is worth the price of gas to drive here and I have some Ocean front property for you to buy in Missouri at competitive rates.Eat here at your own peril.

Good food, just wish the dining room would reopen soon. Great interior atmosphere. If you're looking for good takeaway BBQ in the Newark area, check this place out!

Take out only now. Pretty sure the brisket was frozen or reheated, St Louis riblets were almost inedible. Cornbread was awesome ?

Had been thinking about Famous Daves all week. Checked the website planed our day around it and drove 35 miles only to find a note on the door that said take out only. What a disappointment that the website can't be updated and honest. Other more honest BBQ establishments will be getting my business in the future. No wonder so many Famous Dave's have closed, with this management philosophy this location won't be far behind.

Pretty annoying that the owner of this restaurant won’t update the website. This place is NOT opened for diners. Signs say not to ask employees why they’re not opened ? No problem! Then stop tricking people to come here!
