Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que

Ordered online to go meal. Best food I've ever had, from the salad to the sides to the sweet cornbread. I would say this place rivals some of the best in Memphis, but that's just not true. Famous Dave's is MUCH BETTER!!! The staff is wonderful, too! 5+ stars

We had one here where we live, but it closed down. Drove from Ky. to Tenn. just for the restaurant. Was my husband's birthday dinner. Only disappointment was they were out of bread pudding. But best ribs ever!

Not sure about this place. In April, we had a fantastic meal with great service and I gave it 5 stars. Returned a few days ago and had one of the worst meals I have ever paid for. We were there at 6:00 on a Fri night and there were very few customers. When our meal finally arrived the brisket was very dry, my Brussels sprouts were so hard I could not chew them and my wife's meal was cold. When the waiter brought a side of fries we didn't order my wife told him her original fries were cold. He told us to keep the extra order and said "Now you can have the best of both worlds". Really? He never once asked how our meal was or checked on our drinks. If we come through Knoxville again we will find another place to eat.

The decor is worth the visit alone. It consists of an amazing collection of fishing gear and the results of its effective use. Fortunately the food and service are a worthy match for the decor. The burnt ends were an excellent starter that we all enjoyed. All 5 in our party enjoyed a variety of delicious food from the extensive menu. And while our server was new to the role, what she lacked in depth she made up for in kindness and energy. Excellent experience.
