Our authentic BBQ starts in a live-wood smoker stoked with genuine hickory logs. Our pitmasters hand-rub the meats with a custom blend of spices and cook for hours to extract the natural flavors. We source the highest quality meats and trim them up like we’re in a competition and hand-rub them with the freshest seasonings available to create mouthwatering experiences! In addition to our BBQ and grilled meats, our menu features a selection of salads, sandwiches, side items, and made-from-scratch desserts.

    Boy came into town to go out for my birthday, so Famous Dave's was perfect for our taste buds. Our server greeted us after waiting 10 minutes. I don't recall him giving his name. Asked for 2 beers and 2 sodas, he served me an Utlra and didn't offer a glass since it was a bottle beer. I had to ask twice for a glass. Food came out fast. However, we had to ask for spoons for 2 of the 3 chili's that were delivered. We had to hunt the server twice for refills and the check. Disappointed in the service, however, the food was good.

    The food was great. There were 11 of us so we had a variety. The hamburger was great, the chili was great, the brisket and burnt ends were moist & tender. The mac& cheese had jalapeno peppers in it & was too spicy for the kids. The catfish and chicken wings were great, too. I thought the cornbread was excellent. Our server was friendly and very patient with 5 kids ordering. Overall, we had a wonderful family night out.

    Good and service was terrific. It was surprising to see how empty it was on a Friday night during snowbird season.

    We had a group of 12 and our server was Liz. She was great and made sure the entire table was taken care of. The food was great and portions were larger than expected.
