This was a fantastic place to have dinner! There were five of us - my parents, my wife and I and our daughter. We ordered the "All-American Feast" which feeds 4 to 6 people. It was excellent! Beef brisket, a whole chicken, 1/2 rack of ribs, fries, beans, coleslaw and corn bread. It was more than enough for all of... More

We found this restaurant because of reviews found on Tripadvisor and since then we have eaten at this restaurant once a week. To be honest we always go on Tuesday because of their Tuesday special, feast for 2 for $22,22. This special combined with a Shockbock beer (2 for 1) is the best. Staff is always nice, food is good...

Great selection of Southern BBQ items. Service and food is very good and prices for what they call the garbage lid special for two is very reasonable on Tuesdays.

We have been coming to Famous Dave's in Ft. Myers ever since we discovered the fantastic charcoal broiled turkey burger. I don't eat meat other than chicken and turkey and don't eat fish. We went last evening and learned that they now have a new menu which no longer includes the turkey burger, even though, according to our Famous wait... More

The wait staff was friendly and noticeably well trained. The food was very good, better than I expected. Portions were large and fairly priced. The room was noisy and could use some fixing up, but it was clean. I would return again.

We were here several times in March. On every visit - Service was fantastic. The ribs, rib tips, chili, burger, smoked sausage and pork bbq were all excellent. The beans were very good. I wasn't a big fan of the green beans - so it isn't perfect. BUT - it has been consistently excellent and very family friendly. We will... More
