Famous Daves

Pros: Home style food; Outdoorsman theme; Good barbecue sauce options.
Cons: Bad beer selection; Ribs aren't the worlds greatest.

Barbecued food is nothing new when it comes to restaurant concepts. Most everyone has a taste for barbecued ribs, chicken, pork, and beef at some point and there are plenty of eating establishments with a barbecue emphasis to satisfy cravings. But as ...

Pros: Good portions, bright and upbeat atmosphere
Cons: Don't offer a VERY spicy sauce.

I have read a lot about Famous Dave's. We have had one within a ten minute ride from my home and I finally had my chance to try it. I'm very happy I did. Walkin' In The outside has a western, all stone and pine wood, look to it. Inside ...

Pros: Brunswick Stew was delicious, prices reasonable.
Cons: Poor service and food at this location.

Here in Atlanta, Barbecue is abundant. Hey, it’s the South after all. That being the case, a barbecue chain is going to have to work overtime to make eating there worth my while. There are a few chains (Williamson Brothers, Smokey Bones) that my ...

Pros: Midlothian location is great
Cons: Broad Street location sucks majorly

One thing I've griped incessantly about since I moved to Richmond is the lack of real barb-b-que joints. Oh, there are plenty of places with that vinegary North Carolina version that everyone insists on putting watery coleslaw on top of.. but very ...

Pros: *Delicious spareribs
*Great service at this location
*Fun decor
Cons: *I wasn't crazy about the chicken

Living in a small town is wonderful, except that the choices of eateries is pretty limited. Last night my oldest daughter asked if my husband and I would like to go to Wisconsin Dell’s, Wisconsin to a restaurant they had previously tried. Of course ...

Pros: Tasty, attractive food, fun casual environment, good staff.
Cons: Sometimes service is slow.

Before Famous Dave's came to Omaha a couple of years ago, it could be a little bit difficult for my family and I to agree on where to eat Saturday evenings. "Outback? Red Lobster? Panera Bread?" Sometimes none of us would be in the mood to go to any of...

Pros: Tasty barbeque pork, chicken, and ribs. Informal, fun atmosphere. Prices OK.
Cons: Service varies place to place. Too easy to eat like a pig.

Whenever I get hungry for a good barbeque dinner I think of Famous Dave's Barbeque. This restaurant has numerous location in the area I live – it's hard to not stumble onto one when I'm out roaming around. Over the last five years ...

Pros: Tasty, moist, meaty, baby backs! Usually great service.
Cons: No Beef Ribs! Beef brisket not that great.

Now don’t get me wrong. I don’t love this place because my name is Dave and the restaurant is Famous Dave’s. No relation, though I wish it was! I feel that I’ve been at this BBQ restaurant enough times to really know what I’m ...

Pros: Good variety, great barbecue, family feast is a good deal, friendly service
Cons: Could use more variety of sides

After reading rave reviews about Famous Dave’s my husband and I decided it was an ideal place to take his parents when they came in to visit us. We like barbecue of all types as well as the fabulous side items that come with it. Famous ...

Pros: It's like having a BBQ in the backyard and having someone else clean up!
Cons: Not vegetarian friendly and a bit messy for children

Shortly before my recent move, I went to Famous Dave's for the first time. Previously, the building had been home to a Red River, which I had sworn off for life. While on my way home, 3 dancing pigs caught my eye. Famous Dave's had moved in and with pigs ...

Pros: Fast food; fresh ingredients; great tasting BBQ chow
Cons: Expensive, but then again quality costs.

I love BBQ!  And I usually use my Weber Silver to grill year-round; at least I had for the last three years because the winters in the Chicago area were decidedly snow-free.  But not this year!  My trusty Weber-and by extension, my patio-- ...

Pros: Delicious BBQ, Reasonable Prices, Good Atmosphere, Good BBQ Sauces
Cons: Service is Up and Down

There are few things that I can think of off the top of my head that are better than a good pit BBQ rib joint. Perhaps the reason I feel that way is there really aren't any of the places within 200 miles of me. The closest Pit BBQ Rib restaurant I can ...

Pros: good food, good service, quaint atmosphere
Cons: no SUPER HOT BBQ sauce

I recently went to Famous Dave’s for lunch with a few people from the office.

I have lived in the South and for a few months in Texas so I'm a bit of a snob when it comes to GOOD BBQ.

I'll try to set the scene and deal with the...

Pros: Great sandwiches, chopped pork, & wild rice soup; good service
Cons: Some barbecue items are not great

I have visited Famous Dave’s many times over the past five years, visiting two different Midwest locations. I find that they are hit-or-miss on their barbecue items, but do serve some really good sandwiches and side dishes. I may be slightly biased ...

Pros: Jabba no bother.
Cons: Trendy, I suppose

I didn’t eat a shred of meat for 2 years. I grew up on pepperoni pizza and bacon cheeseburgers and for some reason, decided to give the whole vegetarian thing a try. Although I loved the fact that it forced me to try exotic new things such as tofu and...
