★★★★★ 5.0 Gloria Lastra · Feb 2026

Hey y’all! This is our new best place in Colorado Springs. Best BBQ and Stakes in this area. The service is outstanding. Seriously, I am not joking. You have to come and try it out! We had the best cheese curds, burnt end and Brisket just like home

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Mary Dawson · Feb 2026

I was really disappointed with this meal. The food was cold when I received it, which immediately affected the overall experience. The quality did not match what I would expect for the price the meats were dry and lacked freshness, and the sides felt like an afterthought. On top of that, the portion sizes didn’t justify the cost. For what I paid, I expected better quality, better temperature control, and a more generous serving. Unfortunately, I won’t be returning unless there are improvements in both food quality and value improve.

Picked up a salad and feast for 2 to-go. No one helped us when we got there, even though we made eye contact with 3 employees, including a manager. Get home and the salad is INEDIBLE! Pretty sure they did it on purpose with a to-go order so that the complaint wouldn’t come in until we were home. I removed the toppings to see what kitchen staff saw before they covered it with toppings to hide the rotten salad.

I was chuckling to myself reading these bad reviews of famous Dave’s. I have had nothing but good experiences here. Even this trip being back in the springs the manager Mark made a point to come welcome us personally. Also have had the owners themselves welcome us on other visits. They also offer a great first responders discount on Monday. Food is always fantastic and well put together. Can not recommend this place enough. Don’t let the whiners steer you away. This place rocks.

My dad and I went to Texas T-bone/Famous Dave's to celebrate my birthday. It turned out that my daughter and her family drove from Chicago to surprise me for my birthday! The owners and the staff were in on the big surprise, and it was a huge, very happy shock to see them at the restaurant with balloons and flowers! The adults got excellent steaks and ribs, and the kids got delicious looking hamburgers. With the big surprise, I didn't think to take pictures of the food like I usually do at a restaurant. I'd highly recommend Texas T-bone and Famous Dave's BBQ... Especially for a birthday!
