Excellent! I usually have the Devil's Spit burger, but for change-up tonight I had rib tips and wings. Both were even better than expected. The rib tips were so meaty I at first thought they'd brought something else, until I found a small bit of the bone/gristle tip. The wings were meaty with a nice crunch and lightly sauced. Very pleased.

Came for my free entree and was not disappointed! Ordered the Texas brisket sandwich work Jalapeno Macaroni and it came out so fast! Service was exceptionally attentive!

I'm usually not a fan of chain BBQ joints but my son and I went here a few days ago and I was thoroughly impressed. I will say, if you go then you MUST get the bread pudding. It's one of my all time favorite desserts and figured we'd give it a day in court at Famous Dave's and their bread pudding was literally the best I have ever had.

Famous Dave's has very good food, but portion size could be better for the price. Lack of business during Covid probably had an influence on this.2 for Tuesdays meal is a good one to try your first time.

I got catering from here and good. The food was consistent and they had great communication. They did forget one of our sides but it wasn’t a big deal. Overall pretty good!

Just came in and left. Waited to see if any employee would come out. The only employee we heard was on the takeout side. Plenty of employee cars. Probably ought to ensure hosts and waitstaff are present to customers. Maybe even a bartender?

Famous Dave’s is often a pretty decent place to get barbecue. If you dine-in or carryout from this location, however, be prepared to wait a long, LONG time for your food. I’ve ordered two All-American feasts here in the past three months using first their app and then their website. Both times the pickup time was estimated to be over an hour after ordering but neither were ready until 15-20 minutes after that time.Today’s order was estimated to be ready in 20 minutes, but that estimate changed to an hour and fifteen minutes after I submitted my payment. I arrived to pick up my meal five minutes early but when I gave my name and order number to the server, they way they checked the register, paper receipts and a tablet before ducking into the kitchen made me think they hadn’t even started it yet. He then came back out and asked me to spell my name. After some nervous taps on the register, I was told, “It’ll just be a few minutes.” Twenty minutes later, I hear a manager-type tell someone to give me some other person’s feast. On the way out to the car, the manager-type hurries out with the coleslaw which didn’t make it in with the rest of the food.I’ve eaten here before COVID struck and after. Dining in had always been slow too. Also, the “rewards” program is terrible. The only discounts I’ve received in the past year have been for dining in. During a pandemic. We’ve decided to start going to other nearby barbecue restaurants instead.

Service was slow, appeared under staffed. Our waitress was very kind and helpful though. Management made everything right when the bill came. Food was worth the wait and was delicious. Wish it hadn't taken so long, but overall was a great night out.

Me and my family always get the 2 feasts for 2.Mostly during holidays.Famous Dave's is some of the best tasting food I have ever had. Absolutely Healthy? Who freaking cares?!You go to Famous Dave's to order great BBQ, and NOT great avocado toast.Besides, it contains my favorite food group: MEAT...

Not terrible but wouldn't return. Burnt ends were miniature cubes of sticky beef, potato salad appeared to be left over mashed potato with carrots, sweet tea was barely sweetened, and corn muffin was just cake in disguise.If it were the only game in town, sure, but there must be something else unfortunately this was the place colleagues chose on a business trip.

The server made the night. He was awesome and I forgot his name. My meal was not great. The potatoes were ice cold. The server went above and beyond to make the experience better.
