I go with my wife to this restaurant quite a bit! This is the best place to dine. I visit this place routinely. The meals are of high quality, the staff is polite and the prices are decent. I like eating in this spot for a good supper.

Terrible meal. Ribs and wing way overcooked and completely dried out. Very disappointing.

They give you false estimated times. They tell you your order is going to be ready in 20 minutes it actually takes 45 to 50 minutes. I was there when the young lady behind the counter told a customer it would take an hour for the order to be ready. The manager told the employee to step aside I said to the customer would take 20 minutes. It's actually 55 minutes pull that custom when you get there older. I waited 45 minutes after they told me 20 minutes. This place used to be a nice place to have dinner but I guess they change managers and it went downhill.

A favorite place for tasty bbq. Got there near six, it wasn't packed at all. This place has a cool atmosphere. They have a lot of great reviews for a reason.

I normally love some Dave's BBQ. Im from Philly yet I travel down south often and there is a BIG difference from when you get Dave's BBQ in the south. 1. The portions are greater for whatever you order. 2. It seems to me you don't have to ask for the BBQ sauce/condiments. 3. 7x out of 10x, you'll get the correct order. COME ON NORTH, YOU GOT TO SO BETTER. I'll be back though. ?

I've been to Famous Dave's many times over the years. We don't have a decent BBQ joint in my neighborhood so I GrubHub-ed a meal from them.I remember going to Famous Dave's and ordering that big BBQ meal that they serve on a trash can lid. Nothing heightens a culinary experience like eating off an aluminum lid. Well they sell a similar dinner to takeout. You have to choose 4 different meats, 2 side orders and a choice of breads. I chose the beef brisket, pulled pork, Memphis rib tips and chopped BBQ chicken. For my sides I got the baked beans and Mac & cheese. I rounded it off with a hunk of cornbread and in addition I purchased a bottle of one of Dave's own BBQ sauce. The meal came laid out in a pizza box like it was on a lid. All the meats were atop a slice of white bread, ready to be slathered in sauce. My favorite was the brisket, nicely charred, tender and juicy. There could have been more meat, but I really enjoyed it. The pulled pork and chopped chicken were good, with a smoky taste. The Memphis style rib tips were plentiful and just the right amount of fat. Everything was off the bone tender. The cornbread was buttery and moist.The delivery was on time, courteous and all the utensils and napkins were present and accounted for. It took me 2 or 3 sittings to finish it off and I still have some of Dave's BBQ sauce shelved and ready for my next BBQ experience.

Ribs fall off the bone, brisket melts in your mouth, burgers cooked just right and multiple barbecue sauce flavors. What's not to like?

The food here is always great. I always usually have a good experience but not this time. I gave them 4 stars because my experience had nothing to do with the restaurant and Morley to do with the waiter that was assigned to us. They woman looked like she was on something. She took our order and forgot to put in to be prepared. She came back to retake our order. When we got our food our order was incorrect. Then she had the audacity to try and blame it on us. By that time I was ready to go. The manager stopped at our table to talk to us. When we explained what happened he tried to compensate for our troubles with free appetizers. At that point I did not want the free food; I just wanted my check so I could leave. The manager persisted that the free food would be ready by the time we packed up our food. They werent! So we sat there for another 5 minutes irritated. At the end they did not make us pay for our entire meal. Overall a great place except for one employee.

The food and service was excellent! I will admit I was skeptical after reading the other reviews but my experience was completely different. Our server Leah was sweet and accommodating. Our food was hot and tasted delicious.
