Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que

Food is still amazing! I would suggest that if you go hot, at least do Devil's spit or higher. Anything less is mild, pretty much. The cornbread, corn on the cob, and baked beans bring me back 😋

Haven’t been here in a few yrs and came for my mother in laws bday. We were a party of 18. We were sat in the back by the bathrooms. They seemed to have a plumbing issue and I guess thought we wouldn’t notice. We asked to move but they said we’d have to all sit at separate tables in the front. They didn’t attempt to to try to do nothing about the smell until we asked for spray or a candle, anything to help with the smell. We were then left with a can of Lysol and the server disappeared for about 20 minutes before taking our orders. It wasn’t busy so I have no idea where she went all that time.
She did say the manager would comp x2 appetizers but at no time did the manager attempt to come out and apologize or offer more of a discount.
This will be our last time there.

Updated Visit – July 19, 2025
I want to start by saying the service was outstanding. Our waiter was attentive, professional, and created a great experience from start to finish. The food was flavorful and well-prepared—definitely a strong point of this visit.

As someone who rarely drinks, I’ve come to appreciate this place’s sangria because it’s consistently delicious. However, today’s batch was surprisingly off—it tasted watered down, almost like juice diluted with water. I shared my experience with the bartender, noting that I’ve visited multiple times in the past and usually enjoy the drinks, sometimes made by the same staff.

To her credit, she remade the drink, and while it had a little more flavor, it still didn’t quite hit the mark. I was surprised to hear there was an option for an upcharge if I wanted "more alcohol," considering the drink barely tasted like there was any to begin with. I’m not looking to nitpick—just hoping to see the recipe reviewed or portioning rebalanced so future drinks deliver that signature flavor customers expect.

Everyone on staff clearly works hard, and that’s truly appreciated. One suggestion: perhaps taste-test the drink in a small sample before serving. If it’s not something the team would enjoy themselves, it might need a quick tweak before it reaches the customer.

I share this feedback not to criticize, but to support the great standard this restaurant is known for. I’ll definitely be back—just hoping my sangria returns to its usual ✨ sparkle.

A well-known barbecue restaurant with a unique architectural style that reminds me of German buildings. The restaurant is spacious and ideal for gatherings. We went on a Monday when it wasn’t crowded, and the atmosphere was quiet and comfortable. We ordered a half rack of Baby Back ribs and a half rack of St. Louis ribs. The meat was incredibly tender, practically falling off the bone, and the seasoning was spot on, leaving a lasting impression. In addition to the ribs, the burger was also very good, with juicy meat and a rich flavor.

Another highlight is their fries, which are more like thick-cut chips—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, highly addictive. Overall, the quality of the food is excellent, especially for barbecue lovers. Both the ribs and burgers are flavorful and satisfying.

What makes Famous Dave's BBQ stand out even more is the reasonable pricing. It's very affordable, making it a great option for gatherings with friends or family. You get to enjoy delicious barbecue without worrying about the cost.

Came here for a birthday dinner for my wife. The food was great I highly recommend getting the platter for 2. Or the pick 2 combo. It comes with everything you need and can feed plenty. The ribs were so tender and the sauces were all delicious. We also loved the fries and how they are cut. Would definitely come back especially if you want to feed alot of people..
