Dinner & service was amazing. I couldn't make up my mind, so I had the sampler (app) and a stuffed potato with brisket. Hubby had baby back ribs & brisket. Corn, potato salad & beans. All of it was so good, we ate too much and still had a lot left over for later. (Looking forward to later, lol). Our waitress was a sweetheart and was on top of everything. We wanted / waited for nothing. As truck drivers, it's hard to find good food, but here it is. A must do.

Server wasn't attentive. Overcharged and not told about pricing. Felt like a McDonald's experience with a timber lodge price tag. Never been to a FD before and won't be going again.

We ordered fried shrimps for appetizers and it’s not in the menu we just saw on the picture in their wall and ordered. It was great. Then we ordered 2 meat combo with south side rib tips and chicken strips. Ribs were over cooked and rubbery and chicken strips were too hard with thick hard batter. Expected better food and was disappointed.

Walk in to the to go area, no greeter or waitress (perfectly fine if busy, but only few tables were full and bar was closed), but hear chime of letting someone know some is there. Wait a few minutes waitress (guessing manager) comes out of the kitchen, delivers food to a table in a seating area, and then goes into the bar to scold two waitresses, not doing their job. Waitress comes out of the closed bar area and helps me with my order. Waitress read my order back, and it's correct, gives me a good time line and is expected perfectly fine. Get food and go home(30 plus minute drive), come to find out 2 of 4 orders were correct. Leads me to believe the kitchen is more distracted with there personal life then there job. Could hear their conversation the whole time waiting, swearing (not big deal) about family. Been there few times over year, been great service normally but this was unusually bad recently. On top of not being able order online is odd. Every where else can order online from. It's call to order or walk in. Food was good, not accurate in the order, staff was nice but not exactly attentive, atmosphere is good and clean, but hasn't been updated like any of the other ones in MN.

Famous Dave's is a mixed bag at best quite a few times I've ordered ribs at various restaurants and hardly get any meat off of them. The ones that actually do turn out good are amazing though so take it as you will.
