REAL BBBQ! – I have been a customer for more than 30 years. I have been a fan of BBQ ribs all of my ligfe. That is BBQ, not boiled. Slow cooked, real smoke, dry rub. If these words mean anything to you, you will love Market Barbeque's ribs (chicken and other meats too). I have tasted ribs from 100's of restaurants acrossed the US, and Market BBQ, along with Rendevous in Memphis, has the best ribs anywhere. The restaurant itself is like a step back in time to the 1940's. Always clean and personable. Don't believe the negative... read more

I've been a customer of MBBQ since they opened in Mtka. The ribs & Chicken are great. After reading some of the reviews that spoke highly of Famous Daves I had to write. I can't understand why anyone would pay the price to receive a rack of ribs soaked in sauce, just the fact that your offered a roll of bounty at the table suggests they're covering up the actual flavor of the food or lack there of.

Not worth the price – I live two blocks away and used to dine in or order takeout every week, until I realized just how bad the food was. It's easy to get suckered into the neighborhood feel of the place, which Market has in spades, but it _is_ a pricey joint, and the food just doesn't cut it. The meat, ordered dry or saucy, is never tender (beef) or properly chewy (pork). The fries, even when dining in, are warm and soggy. The toast is just that: thin slices of cheap white toast with butter. The waitstaff does a great job, ... read more

bear56 – Have been going here for over 12 years. The quality of food has not changed and the service staff is respectful and 'normal'. The ribs are genuine and the smoke flavor is real (as opporsed to others that may use enhancing agents). The drawbacks: Ventalation is poor (even in the non-smoking section); the parking is weird (what happened to the back lot?); need to improve the music selections on juke box.

does the staff care? – Seriously, do any of the employees, from cooks to waiters, care? The food is dry and bland for the prices. Been twice and had the order screwed up each time. When we complained to the manager he was totally unconcerned about our problems and failed to make it right. Maybe after all the years this place has been around it's time to put it out its misery.

Not so great – I saw this barbecue on the list and wanted to try it. I was pretty disappointed with the quality and taste. The sauces were too sweet and the chicken was dry and had no flavor aside from the skin. It was also very fatty. My partner had the chicken and ribs combo. He agreed that it was just ok. We probably won't be back, we like Famous Daves.
