We just went here for the first time in a couple years. They used to have decent BBQ (not great like a local place or food truck, good enough). Not anymore. My wife got burnt ends and they were definitely not burnt ends! They were cubes of brisket... But the Brisket isn't good. It's basically pre-cooked Walmart brisket you would warm up in the microwave. I had the brisket dinner (same garbage). We will never be back. If you want BBQ, spend your money at one of the amazing BBQ food trucks in town instead.

Ordered on DoorDash. Food tasted good, but both sandwiches were missing a side item they were supposed to come with. It felt overpriced for the portion sizes and missing items.

Delivery took an hour, food ice cold, portions tiny, and it cost $35.... Save your money, go to Dickies in Clifton... That's real Barbeque... This place is a joke. Asked for a refund and was ignored... Buyer beware. Avoid at all cost. Dumpster BBq lame waste of money. Thanks for nothing.

There is a reason this restaurant isn’t busy. Terrible food. Terrible service. We arrived and were told there aren’t any crayons for the kids menus (not a big deal) then family of 5 seated in a booth ( we hardly fit at all AND the table was BROKEN) I went to the hostess and mentioned this to her. She basically argued with me and suggested placing some napkins under then broken side and I said no and we need a larger table. She sat us in the rear of the restaurant at a larger table one with (5) chairs. Remember there were 5 of us. The table had not been wiped down and she never arrived with a wipe to do so either. Anyway, now that we were seated we looked over our menus and waited for our waiter to come. We waited and waited. Sever of the wait staff had put eyes on us but no one came to see us. I finally stood up and asked one of the ladies if we could have a waiter and they began to scramble. The hostess hadn’t told the gentleman assigned to the area that he had a table. Once he arrived he was great. Once our food came out we were once again disappointed. To make it look like I had a nice sized portion of pork in my plate, they place a HUGe piece of Texas toast (not toasted) under the mean and then place a tiny scoop of meat under the bread. Very disappointing. My daughter received the wrong burger and it was beyond well done, a hockey puck if you will. My youngest received the wrong order in which we waited forever for yet another burnt burger. The chicken tenders that both of our boys received, one was from the adult menu, were over fried and burnt. My husbands rib tips were tough and cold when received. Our $80 meal was a joke and very disappointing. This establishment shouldn’t even be allowed to serve people. Where is the manager or the franchise owner?Do they not know how horrible this place is, or why they aren’t busy when every other restaurant in town is packed. Save yourself and your money and just go to another restaurant.

Delicious! 2 for $42 was yummy! Kids had their own bbq ribs plate. They loved it and we loved our food. Famous Dave's is always good.

I ordered lunch for a group of us today. Two of us ordered salads that were $13.00. If you can't tell from the picture I posted, this is a small salad. Not worth $13.00. The other people who ordered lunch said they're lunches were very small for $14.50-16.00 a piece. Very unimpressed with quality and getting what you pay for.

They changed the menu and took everything worth ordering off of it. Then you have to play "build a story" with the menu, flipping it back and forth to connect the dots. Prices are INSANE!I think it might be time for something else to move into that building. Smh.

The food is good. Pretty solid for a chain. Any the bar tender was a rockstar! serving 5 tables that all sat at one time. My only complaint is the past two times I've been here the hostess was pretty much absent. When she finally showed up she was moving slow and not very friendly, which is how the bartender ended up with 5 tables all at once.

Mac and cheese isn't for kids -it has a zip to it, and corn mixed in. Not on my list to get again. The beef brisket was tender and flavorful, so was the Georgia chopped pork. Rib tips were my least favorite of the meal. Great, attentive service, and the restaurant felt clean and fresh.

Very friendly and quick service. They have draft beer and very good BBQ. They also have catfish. Great place to eat and not usually that busy when I have been in.
