Stopped in on a recommendation from a friend. We were not disappointed. From the cute wording on the front door(see photo), to the beautiful interior design, and of course the food and great staff. I had the Georgia chopped pork, hubby had rib tips and catfish. Both came with choose of 2 sides...homemade BBQ chips, corn on the cob, garlic... More

This was my first time at a Famous Dave's and it was just a casual lunch with family. The environment was really fun with crazy decorations everywhere. Our waitress was extremely outgoing and friendly and the food was very flavorful! I will definitely be back soon!

The food here is what you would expect - really good BBQ. The service is always good. If you can sit in Beau's section, you won't be one bit sorry. If I had to be disappointed by anything it would be that they never seem to repeat any of their promotional menus. Some of them have been spectacular over the... More

We have eaten at Famous Dave's many times over the years and they never disappoint. The staff is always friendly and ready to help with special requests. I usually go for their signature items (ribs, hot link, brisket), but this time, I had the grilled salmon fillet with pineapple and steamed broccoli. It was very good!! Had a nice flavor,... More

We had a great server here the other day and great food to boot. I ordered the rib tips and bbq chicken, and she ordeed the spare ribs and roasted chicken. The portions were great! Usually the rib tips are small and drier than I would like, but this time I was full after eating the tips. I certainly hope... More

We love Famous Dave's and always get the Garbage Can feast. It is enough for our family of 5 with leftovers! The boys had their birthday ice cream sundays and loved them!

First time at this franchise and was very impressed. My teenage son and I could have shared a meal but instead ended up stuffing ourselves trying to finish our food. Good for families and has large selection of BBQ type food. Ribs were awesome. Love the theme inside the restaurant as well. Will definitely be back. Only drawback, not one... More

I love their gooey barbequed pork spareribs. They are the very best in town. You get lots and the price is reasonable. The ambience is nothing special but the service is very good. There's plenty of parking. They don't take reservations.
