We have had amazing service every time and the food is, of course, delicious! Just tried one of low calorie cocktails for the first time and loved it! We will continue to come back! No wonder this place is “Famous!

Last time I was there I found out you guys had a bar rescue. As to why, I’ll never know. It did the opposite of a rescue in my opinion. I was highly disappointed to find out that Dave’s Famous margarita is no longer on the menu. That drink was half the reason I went there. Now it’s just a bunch of wannabe high class drinks that don’t belong in a bbq joint. Smaller portions on the drinks too. The food tasted different altogether too. It was all off. Was a sad dining experience that night. 

Business response:

Hi Matthew - sorry you missed our margaritas! We still have them and on Friday’s they’re only $6! Hope you’ll come again - we’d love to have you back!

This place seems to be such a hit or miss. The last two times I went here it took FOREVER to get our food and when we finally did, it was all cold. Plus the last two times our meals have been wrong or missing portions. I will not be wasting my time with famous daves of rockford anymore.

My family has always loved Famous Dave’s but after this weekend we will never pay to eat there again. Ordered drinks and the Pepsi was flat. Waitress had an attitude when I asked for a different t beverage. Ordered my rib tips without the side of fire pickles so they picked the pickles out but still put all of the pickled onions that are in the fire pickles all under my food on the tear which ruined the meat on the bottom. All of our food was Luke warm and my rib tips that are supposed to be so juicy and meaty, were so dry I... read more
