I was very disappointed with my experience. I called ahead to place a to-go order so it would be ready when I arrived. However, when I got to the restaurant, I was told that my order had never been entered into the system. As a result, I had to wait an additional 30 minutes for my food to be prepared.

This was especially frustrating because my guests were already waiting at my house for dinner. The purpose of calling ahead was to avoid this exact situation. While the staff apologized, the mistake caused a significant delay and inconvenience. I hope the restaurant improves its order-taking process so this doesn’t happen to other customers.

We arrived just before 3 so they allowed us to order off of the lunch menu. I ordered the roasted chicken and brisket combo. The brisket was very salty, the chicken was so tough and dry, I couldn't eat it. I ordered the side of garlic mashed potatoes. They had zero flavor and were cold. I went expecting to order the fried chicken dinner, but you cannot order the fried chicken until 4 PM. That is what I really wanted, so with the constraints I was so disappointed! We probably will never return. Sorry Dave. The waitress was sweet and on point.

We went in with good expectations. Service was great friendly, eager to help, and welcoming. Food was ok, nothing to rave about. We got a fest for two with two mixed drinks.
Good servings. In order of taste wise, to me, on this occasion. I would rate it in this order.
1. Fries
2. Chicken
3. Corn bread
4. Beans
5. Brisket
6. Coleslaw
7. Ribs
8. Corn
Fries were on point, crispy, warm, fresh.
Chicken was roasted nicely not dry.
Corn bread sweet salty not bad.
Beans seemed from the can of baked beans and they just added meat chunks
Brisket was dry . Almost reheated
Coleslaw tasted like KFC
Ribs dry, definitely sitting out all day.
Corn on the cob rubbery.
Drinks were ok . Lots of ice killed the experience. Rate 3 out of 5.
First and maybe my last time trying them out. I might go back and see maybe the could have had on off day. So we shall see . I will update, if I go back.

Nice place for date night or a dinner out with the family. The ribeye was excellent, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The ribs were good but the steak definitely was the star of the dish. The collard greens are fantastic and a great side choice. My wife got the three meat platter with rib, tips, brisket and wings. The brisket and rib tips are fantastic and the wings are not bad. If you want to avoid a large crowd go mid week. The service was great and the server was very friendly and attentive.

I am here for an evening and I'm so excited to come to Famous Dave's because we don't have one in the Tri-Cities anymore. I ordered Ribs and they were so tough to chew through. Like it was terrible. Everything else was so good! I sat in the bar. The ladies were so good!
Don't buy the ribs!
