Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que

Well what can I say? The St Louis ribs were fantastic. The brisket wasn’t great, but wasn’t bad either. The burnt ends were tasty but the texture was a little “spongey”. The cornbread was moist and the coleslaw fresh and crunchy. I debated giving 3 stars, but getting decent BBQ and fantastic ribs this far north pushed it up to 4.

Good atmosphere but reservations were useless as they were not prepared although given weeks advance notice. We were held for 25 minutes after our reserved time for a group of 20. When we were seated, the waitstaff was excellent and attentive. The food came promptly and was enjoyable!

Smells BBQ from the outside and really smoky BBQ upon walking inside. You will NOT be disappointed. The lunch servings are perfect size and price. When we didn't eat the cornbread muffins we were given a special sized container for each one and a paper bag to take them home without having to ask. Service is top notch with frequent checkups on us. The guys had the two meat combos and pronounced the St. Louis ribs, Georgia pulled pork, the beef brisket and the chicken excellent. They enjoyed their sides of meaty smokey baked beans. Being the vegetarian I had the broccoli and cheddar baked potato without bacon and liberally doused that russet potato with their sauces. Yummy. Lowered the rating as it is very loud inside and hard to talk. Lots of families and couples eating there. God value.

Our family really likes this place. We usually go here on special occasions since the kids really like the food. Monday is kids eat free. They also have happy hour with live music from 4 to 7. They have a pretty good size bar that is always busy every time I go to have dinner. You can order anything on their menu for takeout and they have a whole separate place just for takeout. They also will cater events. We usually order The Sassy salad and large family sampler which will feed our family of five and we still have tons of food to bring home. Their cornbread is fantastic and we will usually grab an additional dozen and bring them home also. Famous Dave's is a very casual location with lots of busy memorabilia garnering the walls. I've had better BBQ but this is a franchise and the look and feel and taste is consistent wherever you go from place to place. At least you know what you're going to get. We usually eat at Famous Dave's about once a year and will continue to go back and recommend that others do also.

Dave's has met all my expectations and blew them out of the water! The atmosphere makes you feel like you're in a whole other world. The food was amazingly delicious and the fact that you can take home their sauces was phenomenal. Our waitstaff was incredibly on point at every turn and the live music was icing on the cake. Will return again and again with a smile. They have truly earned every star!

Sauces, real smoky bbq unlike our backyard standard grills, flavor, great service, family friendly. Had a baked potato option for a vegetarian and vegan. A bit too loud inside for me as it was hard to talk across the table.

Look at the food. Does it look bad? No? That's right, it wasn't. Delicious. I had the devils pit burger with the Wilbur hot sauce the hottest and it was great! and hot. Love it!

Delicious food... The burnt brisket ends appetizer is really good! Great selection of beer on tap too. Comfortable atmosphere and friendly staff.

Quality BBQ that you don't typically get in New England. Wide variety of sauces, and meats. The Rib Tips and "Burnt Butts" were unique, and very good. The ribs were very meaty, barely any fat. The chicken was pretty dry, I'd avoid it. Any of the pork options are highly recommended! Definitely going back again.

Came here for the 1st time tonight 10/13/19. I must say this place is my new favorite spot! We were seated quickly. Our server Sarah L. was FANTASTIC! She was on top of refills for our drink she was super sweet! All around great experience!
