What DeniseT likes about Famous Dave's BBQ:
Good food and good service by the employees; however, I had made Father's Day reservations on OpenTable, but when we arrived, the restaurant had no record of it and said their reservation system wasn't working. We only had to wait about 15-20 minutes for a table, so it wasn't too bad, but it was a little annoying. View all feedback. What JesseB doesn't like about Famous Dave's BBQ:
Ranch dressing tasted like sour cream mixed with blue cheese, nastiest ranch ever had, chicken was questionable if it was edible, ribs were slimey, not the best experience. View all feedback.

The service also received mixed reviews, with some customers experiencing exceptional service from attentive and friendly staff, while others reported issues with waitstaff bringing utensils and plates, and not being very attentive. There were also comments about uncomfortable seating, noisy environments, and reservations not being honored, although this seemed to be a one-off occurrence due to a reservation system error. Overall, customers seemed to appreciate the value for the food they received, with some acknowledging that certain aspects of their dining experience could be improved. The general consensus is that the food is good, service can be hit or miss, but overall, it's a decent BBQ spot worth checking out.
