They hit my three strikes and you are out restaurant rule. The last couple years at this Dave's location always had reasonably good meals, but the last three meals (starting mid 2023) were very poor quality. Three in a row means they go. I even told them with this last pickup that they were on the line for their completely substandard quality lately, and with their attempt "to make it right", it was just a different awful than the two before. Don't waste your hard earned money here. They have decided you no longer deserve quality. Too bad. I was a Dave's fan at other locations throughout the US for many years. Not here. Hopefully other locations are not following suit.UPDATE: It is now five days since that last awful meal here, where the ribs tasted so weird I stopped eating them halfway through. I have had severe diarrhea since which I cannot get under control. I placed a call to the Health Department today. I believe I have been poisoned.

Went in for lunch. Travis was awesome! Gave us a rundown on Dave's history and did a good job taking care of us. Will be back sooner than later!

Several years ago it was a hit and a miss, but for the last couple of years it's been good every time! Miss the old decor though.

The brewd pudding is the best on the planet though.Clean bathrooms.Lots of napkins and wey wipes on e tables.Good Server.Football games were on and WWE.Parking: The parking is split between 4 other eateries.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu is decent. Moderately priced.

Kirsten was very gracious and kind; she brought the food out specifically the way my husband wanted his order. She checked on us periodically to make sure everything was okay. She was easy to talk with. We always love Famous Dave's! The Cedar Plank Salmon is my favorite. Thank you, Kirsten!
