Above-Average BBQ – The BBQ is Above-Average which is really good for Colorado. This place is usually packed with people for good reason but I usually get the food to go. You can even call ahead to pick it up.

Dissapointing – I've tried many BBQ restraunts around the Twin Cities and for some reason I keep finding myself coming back here. Not because its good but because I keep telling myself that the next time it'll finally satisfy me. But every time I do I come out dissapointed. I don't get where all the positive reviews come from! The ribs are tougher than it needs to be, its not slow smoked and the rub they used isn't too good. The saving grace for the ribs is their sauce which I totally love. I've tried their beef brisket as w... read more

good service, mashed potatoes great. Ribs good, sauces good for a commercial joint.

A Legend in Their Own Mind? – Having lived in the South for 9 years, we're always on the lookout for good BBQ in the Vancouver/Portland area. My in-laws recommended Famous Dave's after visiting their Everett, WA location. I still cannot believe we drove to Tualatin from Vancouver specifically for less than mediocre BBQ. Perhaps 13+ years in restaurant management has made me hyper-critical but the food here was unforgivable. I have to agree with another reviewer - the ribs were terrible. The meat was tough, poorly seasoned, a... read more

The tastiest in portland so far... – We've been here on 4 occasions now, and will be coming back often. I have found the menu to be hit or miss as far as the ribs (not falling off the bone). That said, I have found my perfect meal of to die for BBQ pulled pork and Buffalo wings (some of the best I've had) the sides are all quite good as well. Then if you still have room, they have a killer bread pudding to finish you off!

The food is okay but do not work here! – For being a chain this food is pretty good all the way around. However if you are thinking about working here DONT DO IT. There is more bull crap here than the ranch the beef was raised on. Breaks????? What is a break? I know alot of the employees here and they will work a double or a good 12 hours straight through and managment will not give them a single break. You will find alot of politics here. If you do something the managment doesnt like or put them out any way (like taking a v... read more

Was okay for a chain BBQ place – I've been around a number of places and had BBQ at some darn good restaurants and have a good idea of what I like (keep this in mind). I does not touch Brooks BBQ in Oneonta NY, but is pretty good for the meal deal I got to trial. Corn Cake (not Cornbread) muffins (too sweet, but you may like that); brisket was good and tender, but the sauce lied (Hell Sauce was NOT HOT!); ribs were okay, but try out Calhouns On-The-River (Knoxville/Lenoir City); the chicken was okay too. Good enough for my b... read more

Good BBQ for a chain – Great food for a chain and exceptional service. Just don't order the iced tea unless... you like iced tea flavored water.
