“We brought our friends and family here yesterday (5/17) after our daughters Graduation from UT. group of 13. It was an hour and some change to be seated, which was fine. The location isn't really set up for big groups to sit together so we had two booths. The main point of the review is to highlight Jacob, our server. he was absolutely fantastic. We knew the wait for food would be a while, but he was so friendly and engaging with us we didn't really notice the time. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy. food was hot and fresh, drinks stayed full and he did all of it with a smile.“

“We went to the mall to walk and have dinner last night. We had never seen this place but decided to try it out! I had the pulled pork sandwich with cornbread and chips, and my husband had the pulled pork sandwich with cornbread, baked beans and coleslaw. It was very good southern BBQ. I loved the sweet cornbread because it was just the right amount of sweet and not dry. It was a very good change from your typical mall food court options. They are locally owned and not a chain and a great place to take a break from the busyness of the mall. They are located just across from Great American Cookie Company next to the Cinnebare entrance. The customer service was amazing! I highly recommend this restaurant, and we will be back!“

“This is the best BBQ in Knoxville. I’ve had the pulled pork, pulled chicken, brisket and all the sides. The cakes are made from scratch. Most important this is a family owned small business and the people are so very nice and accommodating.“

“Great environment. Always have a blast. You have to park across the street so that you can enjoy the bus ride back to your car after the show! always memorable 😊😊😊“

“I ate at the Lenoir City location earlier today for lunch. I had the pork dinner and everything was good except the French fries. They were severely under cooked. They should encourage the staff to use a timer for the fryer and even test them before serving them. Today was disappointing.“

“Our waiter, Jai, at the Pigeon Forge location was the best. He was polite, attentive and extremely efficient. When we arrived on a very cold, TN afternoon, he noticed us linger by the fireplace and immediately served a cup of hot coffee. Please know that he is an asset to your business.“

“I love buddy’s bbq but they seriously need to step up their sides portions.. why did I get 5 small bites of mac and cheese as my side when I even had to pay an upcharge for it?? Feels like it’s not worth getting any side other than fries tbh.“

“Love this place would def recommend!!!“

“Always a great experience! The food tastes delicious and the staff is always friendly! It is my favorite restaurant to eat breakfast! Maryville, TN location on Morganton Road.“

“On Tuesday, July 29th I decided to take my wife, kids and grandchild out for a good dinner (7 total). Famous Dave's did not disappoint! We were greeted warmly at the door and seated very quickly. With us having so many people, we ordered the All American barbecue feast, order of wings, fried pickles and egg rolls. Oh, and an extra order of those stupindoesly delicious muffins! Our food didn't take long to hit the table and man, was it good! Everything from the corn on the cob to the brisket was fresh and hot. Everyone raved about the new egg rolls but, my favorite was the beans, ribs and muffins. Our server made sure we had everything we needed and was super nice and helpful. There isn't a single thing I could even remotely complain about when it comes to our wonderful dinner at Dave's. We had a good time, good food and made some good memories!“

“Party of 5, wait wasn't too long, enjoyed a sangria at the bar which was amazing! The oinon appetizer was great! Chopsteak, so yummy gravy with caramelized onion and mushrooms. Ribeye was perfect as well as lobster tail! Would recommend! Service was awesome and atmosphere wasn't bad at all.“

“I have wanted a steak from here for a month. Husband ordered me the 8oz Medium well. I immediately went to cut it and it was rare. I mean blood pouring out. I can't eat rare or even Medium cooked steaks. There was one little piece that was medium well on the end. Thought I would eat it. NOPE, hard as a rock. What is wrong with people and the way they cook. I have the ticket that says Medium Well. let's just say it wouldn't have been pretty if I was in the restaurant eating. Thanks for nothing. At least I ate the salad and two rolls. FYI, Husband's Prime rib was good to him.“

“Damn shame u can’t open dining room“
