Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que

Went here Jan 31, 2026, 4:55pm, normally a busy time but not that day so good for us! Ate here about 4 times in 2021-2023. Unusually pretty filling with VERY TENDER MEATS & GREAT Sauces! Today was different. Spouse ordered the Chicken & Beef Southside RIB TIPS, but had PORK ONLY, so she settled for that. I got the Georgia Chopped Pork & St Louis-style Spareribs. Since Two diff meats for each, was a SPENDY $21.50 each, & $7 for 2 drinks - WOW. I had a $50 Gift Card but STILL OWED MORE so $55.14 (like a Fancy Restaurant, but obviously it's not). The veggies were pretty good but the MAIN reason to GO THERE is the MEATS. THe Pork was a very small portion on top of bread or toast, apparently to LOOK like getting more but not fooled. The RIBS were almost ROCK HARD, hard to cut with the

Feels nostalgic walking in the doors. Back to the 90s. The interior is fairly the same as I remembered. Walk in, order, grab your drink, and sit down. For those with allergies there is a list you can find if you Google it. Very little is gluten free but they do have good options for dairy free and egg free. I do have to laugh though because they didn't take off the buttered bread, which isn't mentioned on the menu. Lastly, Dave sold out. Nice guy and I don't blame him but hopefully they don't ruin what he started.

We had to go up and order our food at the counter. Just like a fast food restaurant, but other than that, the barbecue was pretty good. Not as good as I remember. But pretty good.

Excellent food. Came out quick and hot. No servers here so it's a but different setup then other famous Dave's I've been to. It worked out well and was efficient, though.

Very busy place and popular. Great varying barbeque sauces with a large variety of meats. I had chicken sandwich with sassi sauce with side of broccoli, extra side Mac and cheese, and banana pudding dessert. Food served very quickly. It tastes great! This place was hopping on the 4th. I like the way you order and pay first and then find. Table. Will definitely go here again...
