BEST BARBECUE! – Visited for the first time last Tuesday for lunch. Being a recent Virginia arrival, I've had my share of barbecue and Famous Dave's is WAY UP THERE! Excellent atmosphere, good service, and the food speaks for itself. The roasted chicken was wonderful, with great sides of fries, corn, and corn muffin. Ended with their famous bread pudding! You've got to have it! Big enough to share!

Famous Daves is Da Bomb – Famous Daves is the best BBQ restaurant in SLC hands down. I mean, where else can you go hungry to a restaurant, order your food, have it delivered on a garbage can lid, and leave completely satisfied (and with some leftovers as well)? The answer: only at Famous Daves, the best darn BBQ Salt Lake City has to offer

Jeckyl/Hyde – This place is either really good and quick, or painfully slow. My wife and I went to eat Sunday afternoon. We got right in to sit down within 5 minutes, ordered, and had to wait 33 minutes for a sandwich. The chicken on my sandwich was burned black. The waiter was apologetic, saying how busy they were, but a group that came in about ten minutes after us, was served their food before us. I'll have to be VERY hungry before I go back. We've had much better service there.

Finally someone who know BBQ – These guys know their BBQ. Slow smoked, slow cooked, wood fired flavor, no liquid smoke here. Next time you are in there ask them to show you their smoker. They seem to loved to show it off.There are no substitutes for time and tender loving care. Quality and quantity. A full rack of ribs will feed a family of four for the winter. They call it a St. Louis style rib. All I know is they are meaty, tender and put to shame the pressure cooked/boiled mini ribs most restaurants pass off as BBQ. There... read more

No wonder Dave is famous! – Famous Dave's is SO GOOD!! The service was great -- friendly and incredibly fast! The three of us got the All American BBQ Feast for Two and still had food to take home. The cornbread was perfect, the beef brisket fall-apart tender, and I loved all the sauces they had to offer. Good eats!

Scrumptious – From San Diego, Getting transfered to SLC and have been there a couple of times... Only problem is I always leave there with a stomache ache, because I try to finish everything on my plate. Great BBQ, Great Service, Fast, AND BIG Servings for the dollar. Man I cant wait till my next full stomache. :)

First Rate Famous Dave's! – Everything is good at Famous Dave's. Been there many times and never had a bad anything. The atmosphere is great, the servers are friendly and professional AND the BBQ is the BEST. It's crowded, but all the best food places are.....it's well worth and hour or so wait.

"simply the Best" – looking for the best BBQ in SLC well here it is. I've lived all over and had BBQ from far and wide and who would of thought that right here in SLC you can find the best BBQ. I suggest that you try everything on the menu at least once. nothing on the menu is bad and the choice of sauces well ,simply great. All thats left to say is Tony who? Q4 what! Texas Where? GO, Enjoy, Eat and still have money in your pocket. My kind of place.
