The staff is very friendly. The food is great.
What I expected – As far as what I want when I go to a BBQ place, Famous Dave's isn't anywhre close. I've never been until last two nights ago. I went with work. I ordered a full slab of ribs. You get a big portion allright. I will say that, but they simply weren't even close to being cooked properly. You can tell that low and slow isn't in their vocabulary. The biggest test to how well ribs are cooked is does it "fall off the bone". Easy to tell they are cooking these things too hot and too quick. There wasn't a lot of smok... read more
Great place to go anytime – I wouldn't say Dave's has the most authentic BBQ or anything, but I still love this restaurant. My friends and I have made this our staple. Whether you get ribs, pork, chicken, catfish, or brisket, you really can't go wrong. I also highly recommend their Chicken Wild Rice Soup as a starter. It is awesome. And their Cornbread Muffins are amazing. This is really an all-around great place to go with friends, family, or whatever. Don't miss it.
Good BBQ, timing is everthing. – Famous Dave's has great food and generally good service but sometimes the rib tips and other barbecue items seem to have been sitting out for a while. My experience has been that when it comes to bbq, timing often determines how good the food is going to be. The same goes for Chinese buffets. There have been a few times when the meat was tough and had a bit of an off taste, the fries just warm and saturated with oil, and the wings were dry and loose in the skin like they had spent some time u... read more
Great family BBQ!! – I LOVE LOVE LOVE Famous Dave's! It is so amazing and I have never had a bad meal there. My particular favorites are the Gerogia chopped pork BBQ sandwich, the rib tips, and their side (drunken apples, fries, corn muffins, and baked beans) are incredible. The staff is really friendly and the portions are HUGE. I ALWAYS have food to take home. The appetzier sampler is also delicious-their hot wings, chicken tenders, and their catfish strips...THEY ARE FABULOUS! You have to try them! Also, if you love a goo... read more
FAMOUS FOR SURE! – My teenage boys kept saying: momma...you gotta try it! But, i'm not usually crazy for BBQ. When they offered to pay...that was for me! And wow...what i have been missing! Our server kept saying: you'll get a hankerin' for this tomorrow. And she was RIGHT! i woke up dreaming about those ribs! So tender, they were falling off the bone! Juicy too - and i think they threw them on the grill too because they had just the right char to make them perfect! Definitely worth getting messy for! One son has the catfish... read more
$13 for 6 ribs – I would certainly pay $13 if the ribs were good, but from the first to the last, they were gristly and tough with less meat than expected. Old cow maybe? I dont know, but I was disappointed and won't try other menu items as I use ribs as my barometer. ( I went through drive-in)
Great Place for BBQ – Great place for BBQ. Worth every penny and your time. Seating was prompt and the service was great. I would definitely go to this place often.
Great Wings! – I love the wings and all the different bar-b-que flavors they have. (Try the "Devil's Spi_" if you like it HOT with great flavor.) I was very disappointed with the ribs. Of course, I am from Memphis and very descriminating about my ribs! (NEVER order ribs in Florida....aaaack). Watch out for the pig, sometimes gets a little to friendly...lol.
