So i drove 2 hrs to get some good old Famous Dave's. Although the website says Famous Daves its not an actual Famous Daves restaurant which is what i was looking for. I passed this place twice and actually went back and saw the address outside the Granite city Food & Brewery. I was a bit disappointed because none of the food tasted like any of the signature dishes. The baked beans looked the same but i did not care for them. Im giving a 3 star because the food was good but it definitely did not have the Famous Dave’s taste I'm use to. I would go back but i would make the longer trip to Murfreesboro to get actual famous daves. This Franklin location also has a minimal menu and some of the food I was looking for was not on their menu.

Service was great! The girl who had our food together made sure we had extra sauce and plates. However the food was horrible!! Nothing like the Famous Dave’s that used to be here in Franklin where you could sit down and eat. Corn was not sweet and was watery, bread was dry, beans were too tangy and the recipe tasted different. Had not had Famous Dave’s in awhile so I was excited about eating it again. Such a disappointment and unsatisfying.

Ordered takeout from the Famous Dave's ghost kitchen operating out of Granite City. After arriving at exactly the time it would be ready, I waited an additional 10 minutes at the front of Granite City. No host to greet anyone. I understand these restaurants are short-staffed. I'm not knocking Famous Dave's for that. (Actually, my order was waiting for me behind the counter. Wish I had known it was mine...I would have just picked it up myself!) My issue is with the actual food. Ordered the Georgia chopped pork with coleslaw and corn. Got instead two corn on the cobs (ice cold) and no cornbread biscuits to be found anywhere. There was hardly any bbq sauce on the dry, unseasoned pork (and no extra sauce OR silverware in the bag. Can I get a plastic fork, at least???) The coleslaw was the only item that was half decent. For the price paid, I am very disappointed in Famous Dave's. They usually have great bbq. Not this time. I don't think I'll be back for a while.

I gave this 1 star due to the fact that I couldn't taste anything but BBQ sauce on my ribs. I always thought BBQ sauce was optional and not a seasoning. I couldn't taste anything but SAUCE. I only use BBQ sauce on my ribs if they are NOT seasoned properly. IM VERY DISAPPOINTED ?, I ordered 3 meat combo ALL ribs, mac n cheese, and beans.The cornbread was GOOD, though!

Tonight I ordered the pick 3 meat meal. 2 sides. Ribs chicken brisket bake beans fries. Terrible decision! They literally drowned everything in the bbq sauce. Ribs old, brisket tough chicken wasn't terrible. Would've taken back but they closed Thumbs down

Did not go inside. The restaurant has closed its location in cool springs. This was a hotel.

Beer tasted like a$$ and was way overpriced! Food ok not what I expected...prob won't go bk there...
Barbara Martin
Staff was so sweet, food was so so good! Loved every bit of it. Wish we had one in the Ashland , Ky area! Could you work on that Famous Dave?Parking: Mostly all spots are near the front door. Very convenient, especially for handicapped.
Food is great but they didn't give me any silverware

To clarify this is the carry out only location inside granite city, some of the reviews are from the former Cool Springs location that was an actual Famous Daves Restaurant.I am a huge fan of Famous Daves. They are very big in the Midwest where my family lives. That said I know their food well. I can tell the difference between their food and food from somewhere else.That’s my issue here. The Wilbur Beans did not taste anything like I’m used to. The taste, the texture was off. The Mac n cheese’s jalapeños and corn felt undercooked. Also found a couple bones in the pulled chicken, though it happens with meat from time to time with meat.I didn’t have any issues with the restaurant itself, other than their website not letting me use a gift card to pay, I’m not sure if you can just walk into Granite City and place an order. I just ordered on their website and paid with my credit card, and used the gift card in Smyrna today. Smyrna is a “real” Famous Daves, so I suggest heading there. It’s on point.Food was ready when they said it would be, staff was certainly pleasant enough, though I think I only dealt with them for literally 10 seconds. Convenient parking, easy to get in and out of (has traffic light)I think the main issue here is the food is being cooked/prepared in a kitchen that was not designed for Famous Daves. Imagine if Burger King operated a ghost kitchen out of a McDonald’s restaurant… their food prep methods are completely different. There’s no way that food would be consistent with a regular Burger King.I guess this is an OK BBQ place, but I don’t feel it should be called Famous Daves. The food here just doesn’t measure up.

The food here is delish and the servers were very kind and accommodating for our large group

This to-go only "ghost kitchen" is located inside Granite City. There is nothing outside or on the website that indicates to go inside Granite City. I would suggest they change that to help out pickup customers.Ribs and Chicken were quite tasty. Corn was nothing special. Good to know where to go now if I go back!
Rob McQueary
The burger was huge and delicious. I was surprised to receive a disproportionate amount of fries. Ambience was also stellar. Our server delivered world-class service!
