Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que

(A little context on how we got here) We were looking for a steakhouse for dinner, but everything was about to close, and we were having a bit of a rough night due to a meltdown our son with autism was having. But then we found this place, my son calmed down, and he ordered the chicken tenders. He's a very picky eater and doesn't usually try new things, but that day he decided to try the BBQ ribs, and he loved them! So we 100% recommend this restaurant. We were all very happy with the food and the service from the waiters, especially a very friendly young man who spoke Spanish! We hope to return to Wisconsin soon and will definitely visit again.

I don’t usually take the time to write long reviews, but this experience at Famous Dave’s absolutely deserves it. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, welcoming, and full of that classic BBQ comfort you expect — wood-paneled walls, that smoky smell in the air, and an atmosphere that just makes you hungry before you even sit down. But what really made this visit stand out wasn’t just the food — it was Brandon. Brandon was hands down one of the best servers I’ve ever had anywhere. Not just at a BBQ place — anywhere. From the start, he greeted us with genuine energy and a smile that didn’t feel forced or scripted. He was polite, attentive, and just had that natural ability to make everyone at the table feel comfortable. You can tell when someone actually enjoys their job, and Bra

Ordered take out… Son got cheeseburger nothing spectacular but okay. Thought I was ordering the BBQ chicken baked potato with broccoli, bacon, sour cream, cheese, and butter. Got it with a side of cheese, and the chicken had little to no Barbecue sauce that was all. And it was cold, waited 10 minutes longer than supposed to. Which no big deal but should be hot then. Called and he said he personally made my order and I needed to order a loaded baked potato. Asked how much the one I ordered was? He said 8.99 I paid 16.99. Not worth arguing over but won’t be going back. Paid 36.99 for a cheeseburger, fries, and a baked potato with chicken…

We live in the Fox Valley but we don't have a local Famous Dave's so we make the trip to the location in Lake Delton to appease our cravings for ribs. The food was perfect and the service was awesome! Jean Pierre made us feel at home and went out of his way to take care of our needs. We will be back!!

So the food was ok. You really don't get a lot of meat. But the order of French fries was massive!
