Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que (To Go Only)

I used to like Famous Dave’s BBQ. The ribs without BBQ sauce was really good. I don’t know what happened but now the are uneatable. I’ve never had ribs so bad.

I used to get famous daves all the time when i lived in Minneapolis and it was awesome! This is not THAT. Not even close. But to be fair the last time i was in MSP like 6 years ago....it was also terrible so i'm guessing this chain has dropped across the board in quality. If you are from the midwest and have fond memories of famous daves, do yourself a favor and keep the memories and go eat at Rudy's or something instead. BBQ of this quality should be illegal in TX

It’s in some restaurant called Johnny’s the address takes you to a completely different parking lot and they don’t answer the phone. Cold food by the time I got there.

I ordered ribs through Uber Eats. I expected a lot due to the fact that the phrase “award winning” was thrown around a lot.

These were the worst ribs I’ve ever had. Rough, hard to chew and UNDERCOOKED! Maybe Dave himself makes some bomb ribs but these were completely inedible.

This may very well be the WORST barbecue in Texas! Brisket was awful, potato salad was inedible, corn muffins were super sweet, coleslaw was watery, and the chicken was super dry. The ribs were passable, but that's about it. After 15 minutes of driving around and around the evil maze that is Southpark Meadows, I realized the map dot was in the middle of a furniture store, and re-searched the map for Johnny Carino's, which finally led me to the dang location. I shared this frustration with the cashier, who casually replied, "That happens to folks a lot, yup" and shrugged. NEVER AGAIN, Famous Dave's!

Im from Wisconsin and was excited to see a Famous Daves so I was very excited to see it here in Austin. Must be new because I know I googled when I first moved here and there wasn't such a place. ANYWAY this was horrible. Mac n Cheese Salty and Runny EW! Traditional wings. barely any sauce and cold. Put back in air fryer.. EW! Brisket tough and salty, EW! The only thing edible was The fries and cornbread muffin. I ordered an extra one and didnt get it! Where is the rib tips? Sorry wont ever order again. I'll wait until I visit home!

The food overall was good. The ribs were delicious, as well as the chicken. The only reason my rating wasn’t higher was because of the brisket. It was overcooked and just was underwhelming. The cornbread is addictive!

The corn bread muffin were great. The BBQ and sides were terrible. They should not be selling BBQ in Texas. Not even close. Maybe go try Canada but you are way out of your league here.

Tastes like frozen food from Walmart. Definitely go to the grocery store and get bbq instead. Awful

Awesome barbeque. I didn't get my baked beans and potato salad that came with my order, but I was still satisfied and will be back. 5 Stars baby

Where are you located in Austin Texas

The people there were very helpful, the brisket sandwich were very very good and tender. I will recommend Famous Dave to my friends.
