Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que

So we haven't been here in over 10 years. For good reason. Last time we went it was so disappointing. The place was laid out as a regular chain restaurant trying to pack as many people as possible in. The food seemed as if it were cooked a few days earlier, completely dry, devoid of any flavor, meat was tough, very dry. Service was below sub-par. We didnt really eat anything and sadly any complaints only got us coupons, so we left with a big chip on our shoulders.

Fast forward 10+ years, this place is totally different. Laid out like a southern ribs joint and bar. 2 seating sections aside from the bar. right in front is table service. to the side, you place your order, pay for your order and you get called to get your food, no table service. kinda like a slow/fast food joint.

We got the roast chicken and st louis ribs combos, a burger, fried pickles, mac and cheese (kraft not homemade), smoked wings. All wings are smoked before fried and sauced. very nice flavor.

Chicken is fresh and juicy. Ribs too, excellent! Not exactly fall off the bones, but you can tell they are fresh.

Nicole was our server. That woman was hustlin and bustlin! I'd definately try to get her again! She knows the food. She recommended the beans as a side, she was right. All meals come with fresh corn bread.

Prices were definately agreeable. Thankfully we now have a local ribs place we were hoping for years ago!

Coming in, I thought it was going to be super packed because of all the reviews, but it wasn't. There's a side with a waiter, and then there's a side where you pay for what you want, and someone comes to you with the food. The food I had was just okay. I had two main choices. It did fill me up for about $21. Afted my food arrived, they had forgotten to give me eating utensils, but we are human, it happens. I'll give it a go another time thoug.

the food here is pretty good however the 2 times i’ve had the food from here, the corn is over boiled and mushy. we paid an extra $3.50 for the beans because i love beans only to receive a hand sized miniature cup. minus one star for that. i would like to see the pickled onions as a side on the bbq feast. the coleslaw is mid. all in all this is a decent bbq spot since the bbq itself speaks for itself

edit: ordered a massive order again and got a hairy gift this time. pretty disappointed.

I must say the juicy ribs were outstanding, cooked to perfection with an exquisite taste that left me wanting more. Their corn bread and corn on the cob were also amazing, a perfect complement to the ribs. However, the Texas Beef Brisket Sandwich was a disappointment as it didn't match the picture and was quite bland. I wouldn't recommend it.

On the bright side, our food was ready when we arrived, and parking was available. The prices were reasonable for the quality of food.

Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for their outstanding ribs and delicious sides.

Great place for a pick up or dine in. Staff is super friendly and on point. Service is fast as well and the food was very tasty. I would come back time and time again if I lived closer. Ample parking 🅿️ and plenty more things in the area.
