Food was good, we got rib tips and ribs all came out juicy. Mashed potatoes were a bit dry but ok. Kids meal with chicken strips were very good. The ranch dressing is not good at all though.
We had went to this location about a year prior and the food was disappointing however, it was good this time around.
Our server was great and attentive.
The 4 stars came from the ambience. This once very packed place turned into a ghost town Sticky floors, music was teen pop…. weird ????
Seems like they need a management team to step in and put some care into this place. Looks like they are ok with this location going down hill. The way it’s looking no doubt this location will loose money and end up closing.
Bathrooms need maintenance woman’s facilities are falling apart. Need food consistency at this location.

First time at Famous Dave’s definitely did not disappoint! To start, the staff greeted us quickly and we were seated fast! Our server, Lena, was amazing! She was super friendly and very professional. We started with the brisket eggrolls. They were delightful! The brisket was delicious, but the sauce was unbelievable! We ordered the Feast for 2. Honestly, WAY more food than I expected. The food was served piping hot and it was all delicious! The brisket literally melts in your mouth and those ribs are something else! The corn muffin was sweet and moist. We barely made a dent in the meal and were stuffed. But then Lena recommended the Banana pudding, and I couldn’t resist. I was expecting a small dish, but she brought this massive dish of this incredible goodness. Honestly, it might be better than the barbecue! We left with full tummies and enough for a couple more meals. Cannot wait to return!

Adan was our server, great personality very customer Obsessed. Restaurant was clean like normal like the only thing that was different. Was the brisket wasn’t quite as normal as it used to be, which is why we have the three stars. But overall atmosphere service was amazing. Food is always good. All the sides were amazing. I’ll be back for more.

Ordered take out twice in three weeks. First time they were out of brisket. Food was alright but not great. Second time ordering the website showed that they were not out of brisket, but when pulling into the parking lot I received a phone call stating they were out of brisket. Took 30 minutes long to receive order than stated. On the way out the door they informed another customer that they were out of wings. Its important as a restaurant to have the items people want to order. Food once again wasn’t the greatest and the orders were wrong. Probably will not go back.

The server was awesome but this place has really gone down hill management wise. They were out of pork at 6:00 on a Saturday night! What BBQ place runs out of pork an any day? Ordered salmon and they kept saying it was coming out in a few minutes. Never did. My wife’s sandwich finally came out cold. This place sucks! Don’t go!

Food was really good, better than I expected it to be. The woman working the to-go area could do more to acknowledge the customers and learn that being on a personal phone call instead of working is a terrible look for the entire company, not just her. Blatant lack of professionalism.

We had an informal gathering of former work-mates. We choose off-peak hours, had the back room to ourselves at no charge, great service (and 20+ individual checks!), and tasty food!
These guys are great!
(Only complaint is the bathrooms could have been cleaner!)

It’s been a minute since we’ve been here and we definitely won’t be back. Nothing quite like leaving and immediately getting to pull over when you’re sick.
Honestly one of the worst meals we’ve had in a long long time. It took about 10 minutes to get seated as there was no host. We felt weird about it when we walked in and there were only two other tables sat at dinner hour but decided to stick it out. The food came out incorrect, and on the wrong plates. Catfish was terrible, the pork was slimy and smelled awful. Brisket had pieces so dry and hard we spit them out. Even the Mac and cheese is bad; dry, flavorless and random pieces of corn in it. The banana pudding was 75% whipped cream. We both opted to not eat over half our meals and leave.. Our waitress was pleasant but didn’t seem at all surprised when we said no boxes and that it was not very good. Honesty save your money and go somewhere else. For $75 we could have at least gotten food that wasn’t going to make us sick.

Unfortunately this franchise is going downhill. Used to like to eat here. Not a fan of the Brisket, it’s very thin and dry. The Ribs were over cooked, dry and difficult to chew. I had the two meat combo. Rib tires and burnt ends. The rib tips were good but there were only a few of them. The burnt ends are good flavor but not tender at all, difficult to chew. Definitely pricey for the quality of the food. Service was very good.
