About this restaurant

  • Kid-friendly
  • Good for groups
  • Neighborhood gem
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.

    They did not uphold my reservation. I was there 5 minutes late to my reservation and the place was almost empty. They did not have our table ready and said we had to wait.

    The actual food was good but the server did not tell us the soda machine was not working and we were served warm soda which was diet which no one in the party ordered. All in all everything was fine but ithe experience was mediocre

    Famous Dave’s didn’t have a record of our reservation even though I had booked, confirmed and then showed them the email when we arrived. We waited 40 minutes and they still couldn’t give us a table inside or an estimate of how much longer we would be waiting. We finally decided to eat outside because the kids were hungry. I didn’t even see inside the restaurant beyond the front desk. Very disappointing with a booking on Mother’s Day and no discounts, free drinks or anything were offered.
