Nicely decorated restaurant. Full of vibe. We got a 3 meat platter for around $30+. The taste is okay. The meat is a bit too salty and dry for me. Overall still a good experience.

Visiting from out of town for appointments at the Mayo. We had the ribs, salad, fried onions & bread pudding. Everything was excellent & served quickly. Our waiter, Tim, was the best . . . very friendly and responsive! Highly recommend!

We’ve worked with a lot of catering teams over the years, and Famous Dave’s delivered a really solid experience at the wedding we photographed. The food was a hit with guests, service moved quickly and the catering staff stayed organized and professional even during the busiest parts of the reception. From a photographer’s point of view, that kind of consistency matters because it keeps the timeline on track and the energy in the room high. If you’re looking for reliable catering that guests genuinely enjoy, they did a great job.

I had the rib tips and they were good. The muffin and beans were tasty and the mashed potatoes weren’t bad but not great. The server could have been a little more attentive but she was friendly. My wife had a burger that she liked but she said the mac and cheese she ordered was not great. She also had slaw which she liked. All in all it was a good experience.

The food itself is a FIVE. The sauces, I don’t care for at all, much prefer SBR’s. Really wish that they’d give an option on just plain old dill pickles, there’s just Aren’t for everyone!
Hostess was very good. Food was quick and good.

We stopped for something different, tired of the same dishes when eating out. We have been in the past, but it was a few years ago.
The menu has many chicken options and ribs. They have three different bbq sauce options at the table, to create the spice level you desire.
Sides are mostly commercial. Even the Mac n cheese seemed yo be pre-made vs homemade. Corn, baked beans, broccoli, French fries, coleslaw, loaded baked potato. They were okay, but nothing exceptional.
We ordered the cheese burger which was good. The bun wasn’t our favorite and the lettuce wasn’t romaine. It was a leaf of ice burg and had a piece of the core still attached. And it was served that way .
We had ketchup at the table, but no mustard. Waited for waitress to come back by and check on us to request it. She never came. Finally got up and went to the kitchen area where other staff were standing around talking to get mustard.
Our waitress was setting down and did apologize as I took the mustard back to the table.
I ordered the chicken strips, fries and Mac-n-cheese. Wasn’t a fan of the corn inside the Mac-n-cheese. Didn’t eat it.
I did enjoy the corn bread muffin, but it wasn’t served with butter or honey. I did ask for sone when waitress came by. She brought us each one tiny container of butter. My hubby used it, as not enough for both of us. Still no honey….maybe they don’t have it? Not for sure.
The place was quiet for a Saturday night at 6pm. No waiting to be seated. Maybe 6 other tables occupied. Parking in front and ample. Bar area and they have desserts – pie, from Baker Square. We haven’t had their pie since they left town before the pandemic. Might be nice to grab pies there for holiday get together.
They have a nice seating area outside for warmer weather. Not too loud inside, could have conversation together. We were offered to go box for leftover, but not dessert. Will grab that next time, a pie to go.

I was surprised that the food was so good. I have visited Rochester restaurants before under recommendation, only to hate feeling like I wasted money. The roasted chicken was delicious and my husband enjoyed his pulled shoulder sandwich. The macaroni was the best I have tasted in a while.
