on Citysearch May 21, 2008I wouldn't say Dave's has the most authentic BBQ or anything, but I still love this restaurant. My friends and I have made this our staple. Whether you get ribs, pork, chicken, catfish, or brisket, you really can't go... (more)

on Citysearch Jan 28, 2007I would certainly pay $13 if the ribs were good, but from the first to the last, they were gristly and tough with less meat than expected. Old cow maybe? I dont know, but I was disappointed and won't try other menu items as... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 22, 2006I love the wings and all the different bar-b-que flavors they have. (Try the "Devil's Spi_" if you like it HOT with great flavor.) I was very disappointed with the ribs. Of course, I am from Memphis and very... (more)

on Citysearch Nov 21, 2006...the food is still amazing!! The Feast for 2 covers all bases (see picture) and is our family's favorite. It easily feeds 3 and they will bring an extra corn and cornbread for the 3rd person. Join the P.I.G. Club... (more)

on Judys Book Jan 12, 2006Famous Dave's is yummy food. There's a lot of variety in sauces and meats, but little in the side item department. The meats/sauces arent better than any of the other barbecue places, but there's quite a bit of food on... (more)

on Judys Book Nov 28, 2005I like Famous Daves for the atmosphere and the food. The service isn't bad either and the prices are average for the food you get. It's a good place to take people from out of town or for a birthday. The portions are quite... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 20, 2005Okay, so it's not Tennessee BBQ, and yes, it's a chain, but man it's good. The food is delicious, the service is fabulous, the portion sizes are huge, and the ambience is cool. I have only had a problem with my food there... (more)

on Citysearch Sep 05, 2005While I'm not from the south, I have frequented my share of BBQ joints and Famous Daves lives up to the hype. For those who say it's a sellout chain, that couldn't be farther from the truth! There are 5 family-owned... (more)

on Citysearch Feb 05, 2004Of all the reviews of this restaurant, I only see 2 negatives, and I can honestly say that these people truly don't know real BBQ. They are probably used to the oven baked vinegary based bbq known for this area, which is... (more)
