If I could give them a 0 - I would. They didn’t have what we ordered so had to alter order. Got home and they shorted us on a whole meal and 3 sides. Called them and they said come back( all the way across CR). Got there to find out they were completely out of what we ordered. Ruined our whole night and we don’t get very many nights to eat together. So disappointed. Will never go back. It’s a pattern for them to short take out orders hoping people will just forget it.

Posting under our "official" handle TravelingbyCarr GandR...Love BBQ/smoked stuff and had 2 choices...Don't know about the other one, but Famous Dave's was a Famous Mistake...R got rib tips and I went with brisket...The beer was cold and so were my potatoes...The brisket was ok...R's rib tips were very dry...When leaving, interrupted the counter girl's cell phone session to give our opinion..."Um, sorry"...And we were sorry that we wasted time & $ at this place...

It is not a real restaurant. It is a takeout version inside another restaurant. It is good BBQ, but it is not like other famous daves in Illinois. I vote 'meh'. Bandanas down the street is much better.

Famous Dave's used to be pretty fair Q. Not nearly as good as Smokey D's in Des Moines but few are. They apparently were bought out by a Canadian company who in Cedar Rapids is selling Famous Dave's to go out of another restaurant with no FD signage at all. Poor Dave. :-( The food was perhaps the saddest Q I ever had. Tiny portions of sides and meat. The burnt ends did not appear to have been smoked at all. Lots of fat that was not broken down. I would not go here again if they paid me.
