The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. Our server was attentive and gave us a great recommendation. The food was pretty good, and the drinks were strong (probably too strong)

Excellent food had the garbage can special and cheese cake for desert. Food was really good. Clean neat staff was really nice. Went on a Tuesday reduced price day

Food was luke warm. Sauces were not as good as we remembered. No Carolina style sauce. Slaw was bland. Service was good. Server was fun.

My family and I came in couple weeks ago as we love us some famous Dave’s! food was amazing and our sever Cloe was great! Only thing we didn’t enjoy was the young couple that decided to argue in the lobby, you can tell the waiter was not trying to argue with the young lady that came from the back but she was not happy with him. Me personally some couples shouldn’t work together ??‍♀️ Only reason I’m posting this is because we came back and ate Monday afternoon and jack was are waiter and did a good job we did not see the young lady that was upset with him! Food was great last night also! Thank you famous Dave’s.

We went online and checked their hours which clearly stated they were open until 9pm on Mondays. We then drove 30 minutes to get there, and arrived at 8:25pm to find the doors locked. We assumed it was a mistake, because there 7 or 8 tables full, so we went in the pick up entrance only to be greeted by a waitress rudely asking how we got in. I quickly responded that the door says they are open until 9pm, to which she said they closed the kitchen at 8:30. The whole thing was frustrating and confusing plus the waitress was just rude about all of it.

Our waiter was super kind and polite. If you had any questions, he explained it perfectly. Food was delicious! The experience and environment was great. No complains here. Loved it and would go to again.

The food was ok could have been a little bit hotter. But the service was great. My daughter went into the ladies room and she said it was terrible I think they need to clear there restroom more and make sure there being check regularly that’s pretty bad.

Famous Dave’s is by far the best bbq this side of the Mississippi! The margaritas on the rocks are delish!! And that cornbread muffin, honey it’s the best!! Always fresh and hot! You will love it and don’t forget the different flavors of bbq sauce to try! Enjoy!

The service was great! We haven't eaten here in quite awhile. I was surprised at the new menu structure. The menu was confusing. For instance No option to get a pulled/chopped pork sandwich and side unless you're good with paying $18 for the one meat and two sides option.. The quality of the food had also gone down. The beef brisket didn't look like beef brisket. It looked more like the beef you get with a Chinese dish beef and broccoli. It was definitely not the famous Dave's my wife and I remember. We will not be going back. There are many other options when it comes to BBQ for your hard earned money!

This place has gone downhill recently. My husband and daughter got the ribs and I got the chicken sandwich. All 3 were really burnt and charred. We also had a random extra beverage charge. Not sure if I was charged $3 for a water or why it was there but it was tacked on at the bottom of the receipt. The service was fine and waitress was nice. My daughter loved this place but asked us to not go back anymore.
