We had an awsome time at the restaurant! Our server Akasha was wonderful! She made sure our order was correct and that it arrives to our table in a timely manner! She also kept on top of our drinks and brought an ice cream Sunday for dessert! Very polite and courteous! One of the best servers you all have!

My husband and I came to Fame Dave’s (Northriverside!Mall location) for dinner and the service upon entry was awesome. Our waitress Nikole was amazing. She was everything that people look for in customer service. I’ll give you guys a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I came here yesterday with the family and was overall pleased. They sat us down right away, and they brought out the food pretty quickly. My only complaint was that my brisket was a bit on the cold side. But all the side dishes were very good. Especially the cornbread !! 😋 I would definitely come back to give it another try!
