Famous Dave's realy has changed a lot since Covid19. You come in, order at the counter, then go find a table yourself. The staff doesn't wait on you. After ordering I tipped 20%, and honestly wish I hadn't. It isn't necessary, I got my own drinks and to-go containers. The only thing the staff did was bring our food out. The food was great, just like always. No complaints there.

Family came in from hospital visit Jesse greeted us warmly. Answered all our questions nicely. Food came out reasonably quick Brisket was tender and moist! In fact probably the best I have had in a long time at Famous Dave’s.

As always, great food, Great service, Great atmosphere. Was looking forward to catfish fingers, but those don’t come back until March 5th. So maybe next time. Jesse was very knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks for the service Jesse!!
