Staff was super helpful and friendly. Our food arrived quickly and was delicious. Everything was exactly as we ordered and the perfect temperature. We both had St. Louis style ribs with brisket plus baked beans. I had macaroni and cheese for my other side, whereas my husband had steak fries.
The ribs were tender, well sauced, and a plentiful portion. The brisket was really tender and flavorful as well. The baked beans were especially tasty. I love the corn in the mac and cheese, but could live without the Jalapeño (I just pick it out, haha). The fries must've been good because my husband ate them all.
It's a bit pricey, but well worth the cost. If anything, I've noticed that it's slightly more inexpensive compared to similar BBQ eateries in the area.
It wasn't very busy so there was plenty of seating. It was really clean and any dirty tables were bussed quickly.

I ordered delivery through DoorDash and enjoyed my food for dinner. I had some leftovers which I ate the next day for lunch, and as I was about to take my next bite of my broccoli side, I noticed there was something fuzzy on it. At first, I thought it was possibly mold, but that didn't make sense as it had been reheated. After further inspection, I realized it was sort of a chrysalis, likely a cabbage looper. So disgusting and disappointing, especially since their food had been tasting good. I wouldn't take your chances here, as they seem not to wash their vegetables well. It begs the question, what else don't they wash well...

Up to Dave's usual standards. They are not in my neighborhood so when I see one I stop for good BBQ. Enjoy !

So.. I dont go here often. I chose to try again because I wanted rib tips and I said ok, lets try. I placed my order online and was there in time for it to be ready.
I believe it was made and sat for almost the entire 18 min I was told to wait online to go pick up. The mac was cold ad dry and the tips,old and rubbery. Im not sure if they freeze the meat but it was horrible. I couldn't even eat it. Wasted about 17 bucks and was hungry and had to go somewhere else. I am disappointed and it will be a long time if ever again that I order from this location again.
The restaurant itself was pretty much empty but clean from what u could see. The man helping me was nice and courteous.

For many years Famous Dave's was a go too for our family. Even as far as my wife insisting on eating their before her fasting for her C-Sections for each of our kids. I have gone there twice in the last six months. The experience is gone, instead of what staff they have basically a cattle feed to order your food. The presentation is completely different and the food, at best was mediocre. I get most of the changes I mention were made a long time ago, but the food was still good, time before last my ribs were cold. This last time they were dried out like they were microwaved to long. Not the same, there are better rib places in Madison.
