Seems like it would be decent food if they trained there staff but I got the feeling nobody quiet knew what they were doing and our server had a difficult time understanding English! Burger was a little burnt and dry served with no mayo or anything! Dry! My mans pulled pork sandwich had no BBQ sauce lol. But the fries were delicious! It's difficult to get any wait staff to check on you or to even find them! But when you could find them, they are very nice! I will not be back to thus location! It was my first time at famous Dave's! Seems like it could be a decent place under good management 😊

Stopped in 5/28 around 8:30pm. We were seated right near the entry door. Our server was great! Sadly I don't remember her name but she was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. It was pretty empty so we got seated right away. I got a 3 meat combo, my fiance got a pulled chicken sandwich. He was raving about how good his meal was all night. I enjoyed the brisket a lot, it was really good and super tender. I was not a fan of the burnt ends and just didn't eat them. They were pretty tough and a waste of money in my opinion. And the chopped pork was really good as well. Those cornbread muffins were amazing though! We got a half dozen to take home. All in all, it was a good first time at famous Dave's and we'll definitely be returning!

I used to love Famous Dave's. The waitress was great and very attentive but even her fantastic attitude could not make up for the mediocre food. My wife ordered the lunch special with Brisket and collard greens. She reported that the collards were good but the brisket was bland and cut the wrong way (she was a classically trained chef before she went to medical school) and she only wound up eating about half of her lunch. I had BBQ chicken, Rub tips with french fries and Mac and cheese. The French fries were good, the Mac and cheese was rich and creamy with just the right touch of jalapeno. The chicken was not very flavorful but the BBQ sauce helped bring it along and the rib ends were massively overcooked they were so dry that they were hard to cut with a knife. I expected more considering that lunch for 2 ran about $65 with ice tea, tax and a tip. I am very sad about the quality of the food.

Great service. Super attentive. The restaurant was about 50% full. We got our drinks quick and stayed full during the whole meal. Our meals came out about 15-20 min after placing our order. Which for our family was great. Allowing for us to visit without our mouths full of the good BBQ. My only real complaint was there was no butter for the corn or cornbread, but both were pretty good without it.

Not sure but they serve pickles with food so possibly that if ask them for full large order of one they give you one. Cause we asked for certain things on our food and got it.
