Reviews For Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que (To Go Only)

I love this restaurant and have eaten here often. The staff is always pleasant and attentive. The food is delicious! I've had a few occasions, over the years, where my order has been over cooked. The few times this has happened, the staff has graciously reduced my bill - or offered the meal free! You can't beat that for service!

Good food with just nice proportion sizing. The sauces definitely brings out the hidden tastes of the barbequed meats along with staple Southern classics like the cornbread and catfish. Definitely can't go wrong here!

It was my first time ever at a famous Dave's. Famous Lori, and Famous Scott were amazing!! Great food, extra large portions, never had to ask for a refill, and price was absolutely fair. Very clean bathroom, and total environment!! Will be coming back soon.

Had a large order for a business on the weekend, the lady at the to-go counter was polite and professional. She went over the whole order without me having to ask. When the food came out, she opened everything in front of me to make sure it was correct. The food was fantastic for great prices. Very easy process. Highly recommend.

First time at famous Dave's the waiter was very welcoming he had us taste test all the bbq sauces and even gave us a free bottle of our favorite kind!! The food oh my Lord the meat was perfect and tender if you haven't been here it's a must!!! Absolutely will be going here next time we want to eat out.

Matt was the best damn server I've ever encountered. He was very personable and seemed to want to be there. It was like meeting the owner of the restaurant and he was making sure the cooks were in top notch performance and that we were satisfied with the price of our food. He suggested a drink food and told a funny storie before we left. He was so good that when the food came and was better then I expected i still was blown buy his service. I'll be coming back for sure.

I almost always get the burger of the month and it never disappoints. The price is always good as well. My fiance gets the rib tips and I don't think I've seen him eat anything with as much love as he eats those.

Went there with my wife on May 14th. We placed our order though it took a little bit longer, it was a negligible amount of time considering it was about 6:00 pm on a Saturday. Our server came out and apologized for the delay in our meals, and stated that she would make an adjustment to our bill. As stated, we really weren't bothered by the service time. Our food came shortly after that and was delicious. Then the manager on duty came to our table to apologize, for this insignificant delay, and then we were given a free dessert on top of everything. EXCELLENT customer service, even though we didn't feel it was necessary.
