    This place has a great crew!! I ordered from a delivery company online and despite the confusion with the order (no fault of the restaurant’s) the staff at Daves were extremely generous and helpful in getting me my dinner in a timely fashion.

    On top of this all, the food was phenomenal! Brisket, ribs, potatoes, corn bread, and banana pudding!!! Yum!

    A little disappointed with my dining experience tonight. But I think with a little more coaching and attention to detail, it would have been great. I sat myself in the bar area and waited for my waitress. She came over and I ordered a scotch and soda with lime. It came back a scotch and 7 :( I didn’t complain because who wants to waste good booze. I just let it slide. I ordered the feast for 1. After about 10 minutes the bartender came to ask if I’d like another drink, which I appreciated. About 15 minutes later my food came. The pulled pork was moist, tender and delicious, the beans were warm and flavorful, the cole slaw was cool and crisp, the chicken was great as well..... the ribs..... although they had good flavor they were tough, chewy, rubbery, and I literally had to cut them away from the bone with a knife. Not a good thing when it comes to BBQ. I had finished my meal and the bartender finished her conversation with her friend and brought me my check. I let her know I wasn’t completely satisfied with my food and she offered to discount it. I just said, it’s alright. I’ll give this place another chance in the future, but I hope things will be better upon my return visit. Keep trying Famous Dave’s!!!

    I've had BBQ all over the world with all different styles and I have never understood some people's claims of Famous Dave's. They are mediocre at best. While the service was decent (but not extraordinary) the food is a far cry from being famous. The ribs are not even in the top 50 that I've had. Their brisket is the best tasting thing in the menu but the 3 thin slices (of the flat - not the point) I was given was pathetic. Apparently the staff wasn't trained to portion by weight instead of count or their weights are just that bad. The chopped pork actually had a much better flavor that many places do but that was immediately ruined by the gobs of sauce that was streamed over it (without my requesting it.) Save yourself some money and just buy a can of Bush's beans rather than trying Dave's. You'll get a ton more flavor and a lot less water. The real disappointment was their mac and cheese. I'm struggling to come up with the words to describe it without being ordinary. That was exactly it. Ordinary. Bland. Tasteless. A waste of a bowl.

    Did the meal fill me up? Yes. Was it bad. No. Would I go again? To be honest, probably. But don't mistake this for a great place to go. Don't be drawn in by the "famous" in the name. Think of Famous Dave's like Burger King. A place to go when you just need to eat something.
