Famous Dave’s

We went to Famous Daves for lunch. Spoke to the hostesses and inquired about a gluten free menu. She looked at us like we are crazy and said they don’t have any gluten-​free items. Seems kinda is that a restaurant in today’s society doesn’t offer any gluten free items. Smelled incredibly good in there though.

Enjoyed a great 4 rib dinner complete with corn on the cob and coleslaw. Great kids menu, and variety of sides. Free refills on certain beverages… service was great at this location, there was a large variety of ribs to choose from. Will definitely return.

Great meal. Pork BBQ w pineapple and coleslaw. Guess I was hungry because I burnt my tongue I ate so fast. But it tasted great. Service was prompt and accurate. Price was fair. I ate enough so I probably won’t need anymore than coffee tonight. I’ve been to a FD in Boise and this was comparable. Thinking about my «burned tongue» now I think it was the pineapple. Tart! But it was yummy.

Love this place my first was at galleria circle near sunset station at the Henderson satisfied with all the meal i ordered. and this place was alright because of the brocolli was really salty -.- the first two was alright until i bite the third and it taste straight up salt smh. the ribs doesn’t have the flavor i ate from the last time. but always the cornbread is to die for im still giving this 4 star anyways.

This location has bad customer service and unprofessional employees taking the take out and pick up orders. They’ll put you on hold, answer, then will hang up on you. This happened twice, not only once. The manager isn’t very understanding either. Instead of taking my order due to the inconvenience, she put me back on hold! Unbelievable. Anyway, we decided on Lucille’s instead. Waaaaay better service… and food! =P

I don’t really care for Famous Dave’s but I found myself here a couple of weeks ago for a quick dinner.
I ordered a bowl of baked potato soup and shared a few bites off of my fella’s brisket plate. The food was nothing special but the service is the reason for the lackluster review. Refills were hard to come by and our server disappeared for minutes at a time.
I don’t see myself returning to this location, in particular.

Good:
1: Immediate seating.
2: Ample parking.
3: Excellent food.
4: Nice staff.
5: Big discount after multiple mistakes.
Bad:
1: Disorganized.
2: Mistakes.

For my first time at Famous Dave’s, I can say that I was pretty impressed! The potato salad and mac ‘n cheese were okay, but the red skinned mashed potatoes and the cornbread muffins were really good. The chili was great; a real nice spice. The beef brisket: excellent! And, to top it all off, the banana wafer pudding was a must-​have sweet ending to our meal. Thanks for the southern flavor Dave! We’ll be back!

Up 1 star for pulled chicken sandwich.
Down 10 stars for horrible brisket.
I know it’s brisket but, this was way too fatty and the parts that weren’t fatty were tough as tires. Adding insult injury, an employee tried to convince me that’s how it’s supposed to be. The location in Hayward, California, can teach her how it’s done!
Haven’t tried the other Vegas locations. Stay away from the location on Blue Diamond Rd!

I have eaten at many Famous Dave’s restaurants in both Las Vegas and Los Angeles. This one is fairly typical. And that was meant as a compliment. Very informal. No tablecloths. A roll of paper towels and wet wipes on the table. Our server was prompt, efficient, and very friendly. When I go with my wife, we always share a full slab of St Louis ribs. Tonight was no exception. And Famous Daves did not disappoint us. The ribs were fall off the bone delicious. We had the dirty rice and corn as our sides. Those were disappointing. But when the ribs are that good, you really don’t care about the sides.

Many would be jealous on me back at home if they knew I had a stop on Famous Dave’s. First up, the Sweet mamma punch, oh that smell, specially that taste. You won’t regret every last drop of this punch.
Ribs here are not just any ribs, you can also have a full slab of it which makes it perfect for two or even three.
Definitely the best place for ribs.

I like it here, but more so my fiancé likes it here. There isn’t enough of a variety on the menu for me, otherwise we’d come more often (I only order seafood and vegetarian and only one of the 3 seafood dishes isn’t deep fried… so we basically only go when I’m in the mood for salmon.

Here for the Big Slab Tuesday’s deal. Wow what a huge amount of food. I had the fries and potato salad as side items. Sat in the bar area for dinner tonight. Service was friendly service an quick. Server was Jenny K… they should hire more like her. I will be back again… soon as I eat those left overs…

Wow. Unbelievable.
We were so pumped up to check this place out. I have heard so many great things about Famous Daves from friends and coworkers in the past. Usually we would go do the BBQ at Ellis Island, but we were in the mood to try something different today.
We walked in and were seated at a booth pretty quickly. We checked out the menus and decided on a couple of dishes and an appetizer. I was also going to take advantage of those happy hour prices for a nice cold adult beverage or three.
We were just waiting for the server to come and take our drink order to kick things off.
The thing is we waited…
…and waited…
…and waited…
…and waited…
To add insult to injury, people who came in after us were seated and served their drinks. AND on top of that, two different employees looked right at us, turned around, and walked away. At the 34 minute mark we decided to throw in the towel. It wasn’t even that busy as there were plenty of empty tables and booths everywhere! I went to tell the hostess, in a very calm manner, on the way out the door that we had been waiting 34 minutes and no one had even taken our drink order. There was no apology, no explanation… no…anything. I just got the deer in the headlights look. Nice.
Cross this place off my list. I’ll just go back to Rolling Smoke or Ellis Island… or anywhere else for that matter when I’m in the mood for BBQ.
Welcome to the Hall of Shame.
Disgraceful.
1 star.

4.18.15 Chicken along a feast for two was spoiled, waiter changed for ribs; but, the restaurant should have taken the whole plate back and bring a new one, that did not happen.
I don’t want to go overboard, a lot of good people work there; so, to Famous Dave’s: get better at QC.

BEST CORN MUFFINS!
This is a late review but after my blahh experience with POT LIQOUR I really had to get my fix fixed.
So the next day I headed right over to Famous Dave’s to make sure I wasn’t trippin on how food should taste like.
I ordered a DOZEN CORN MUFFINS — no need any sauce on it but some butter always makes any bread taste even better than it does.
APPETIZER BURNT ENDS — little chopped pieces smothered in bbq sauce and it comes with some fried onions and some spiced pickles which are AWSOME!
I would have to say I was not tripping about the other place because the burnt ends here were much more edible than the other place. Although it was a little more on the dry side this time but not to the point of jerky — Ness. The cashier that took my order was quick and prompt and went over what was in each box for me. Food was ready and togo within 10 min!

Came here with my bf because we were craving bbq.
We had a late lunch and sat at the bar. The bartender was nice and fast. The food was good too. We have the brisket sandwich, chili, and Cesar salad.

Always a favorite of mine! I usually get a half thing of ribs with their spicy mac & cheese. Of course you can’t forget the delicious cornbread! Mouth is salivating just thinking about it.
Staff has always been friendly and usually quick about getting my order. There have been rare occasions that i had to signal someone to fill a drink.

***My 100^th review***
I LOVE bbq, so when my bf suggested we go to Famous Dave’s for dinner Halloween night, I was game! Because it was Halloween, there was no wait and we were seated right away. We decided on the feast for 2, priced at $ 39.99 and comes with a LOT of food. Half a rack of spare ribs, half a chicken, and your choice of either pulled pork or brisket, we chose pork, corn on the cob, cornbread muffins, potato wedges and 2 sides, we chose beans and mac and cheese. The food came out within 15 minutes and I was surprised at how much food there was! We happily dug in.
My favorite item I had was the ribs. They were perfectly smoked and tender and the meat was almost falling off the bone. The chicken and pulled pork were tasty as well. The beans had pieces of bacon in them and were delicious. The mac and cheese had corn and jalapenos mixed in, which was different but good. I really like the different bbq sauces they have sitting at the table for you to use with your meal. They have 5 of them from sweet to inferno spicy. My favorite is the Georgia Mustard, its a vinegary sauce and its tangy and delicious on the different meats. We didn’t even come close to finishing everything and had plenty to take home for the next day. Our server was awesome, I forgot his name but he was attentive and friendly. I would most definitely recommend this place, and will be back in the future, especially for the feast for 2.

Am I a BBQ fan? Umm not so much but i came having an open mind and empty stomach.
I really didn’t find it anything special. We chopped on the sampler app and the meat just seemed mediocre. It didn’t seem to have any special spicy love in it. Maybe I’m not the BBQ type… maybe I’m spoiled from my grandfather bbq cooking. or maybe it just wasn’t that good.
The only thing I enjoyed was the happy hour special that begins at 9pm which was the wings and fries. Can’t beat that price. Even then I’ve had better wings. Which my favorite are from outback.
Customer service was good. restaurant was clean. Prices are reasonable. Décor is adorable. Food,. meh. I want some finger licking spicy tangy goodness and this just did not do it for me.
