Our third visit to a Famous Dave's and first to this location. Have not had a bad experience yet. Very friendly, wide variety, great food. A little on the expensive side but you get a lot of good food. Also, extremely fast and friendly service.

I have come to expect exceptional food at Dave's and found it at all of their locations with the exception of this one. Have dined here three times hoping each time was just an off visit. Sadly this was not the case.

If you plan on going on a Friday or Saturday night, make sure you are there early! I have never had a bad meal there. Wait staff is friendly and service is usually quick.

Good menu, plenty of optins, and everything tasted amazing. I would recommend the combo -- ribs and rib tips with baked beans and fries. AWESOME STUFF!! Kind staff and our server was also wonderful. Responsive, attentive, and friendly. Great dinner!

I was recently in Memphis Tennessee and stopped to try out what I had seen on Travel Channel as some of the best bbq in the nation. As I sat there eating it I was wishing I was eating Famous Dave's barbeque instead. Famous Dave's is about three times better than any other barbeque I've had all across the nation.... More

This chain never disappoints. These are the kind of ribs, pulled pork and chicken I like. Good beer selection.

Average food, average prices. Nothing special but nothing really wrong with it either.

Atmosphere is fun food abundant the brisket is good and tender but the past 2 out of 3 times it's been overly salty. Tell them it's your 1st time there and you will receive something nice from them!
