Friendly attentive server. Good atmosphere. Can’t get enough of those burnt ends, so tender and juicy! Too go’ed the birthday desert (brownie) as I was stuffed. It even came with ice cream! Love me some Famous Daves in Rochester , MN!
February 2025
Staff is great, seriously disappointing portion sizes. Tiny cup of mashed potatoes. Paid two dollars extra for the burnt tips and literally got six pieces, total. How tf. Been a while since I've eaten here, but not the Famous Dave's I remember.
November 2024
I just wanted to give a shoutout to the excellent service we received from both Emma’s fantastic service. The food was what I can normally expect from being a patron of Famous Dave’s for over 25 years. The indoor atmosphere was, again, what was to be expected but I preferred something more quiet and was happy that there was a patio for dining. The service was excellent and Emma(morning shift) and Emma(evening shift) were friendly, very accommodating, and ultimately why I am...
