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.

    The restaurant is permanently closed but our reservation was still accepted on open table. Clearly there’s communication issues.

    Overall a good dining experience. Haven’t been to Dave’s for a while and was a little let down. Food and service were adequate but for the price expected better

    Eh, fair place to stop once every couple of years. Prices have increased but amount of food has not. We came here to celebrate birthday with group of 6. We were seated right away as place was almost empty. This apparently results in one waiter working majority or restaurant. We needed to request refills on water and paying bill was a 15+ minute ordeal. Food was overall good (minus the corn on cob - very over cooked, not recommended) but felt like portion was lunch size versus dinner serving.

    The food I was able to choose without any spice was satisfyingly good. The ambiance was complicated for me by a fire blazing on a hearth, but I was able to be seated far enough away that the smoke was not a problem. My thoughts were that I could return there whenever ( was flying out of SEA airport.

    I love famous Dave’s. The barbecue sauce is so tasty and I absolutely love their pickles, fried or otherwise. You can’t be good food and good service.

    La comida no esta igual de deliciosa como siempre. El pollo sin color parecia crudo y los frijoles sin sabor y frios

    Great family restaurant. Was surprised that baby backs were not offered on the menu. This is a franchise, so things are a bit different than I recall from past visits to Dave's.

    There was a lot of choice on the menu. I chose combo 2, beef and chicken with 2 sides. BBQ sauce was very mild and tasty. Price was $22.00. The service was very good.

    I have to say, we were a little disappointed, I thought it was a more upscale restaurant, it was more of a family restaurant. The ribs were a little dry and not very meaty, bones were huge! The rib tips were full of tendons, like bones, the roasted chicken was great and moist as was the fried chicken. The beans were delicious, the broccoli cooked to perfection and the cornbread was delicious! I guess just the ribs were disappointing, althought the flavour was good. But that's why we went there. Our service was good and friendly, didn't have drinks or dessert.
