★★★★★ 5.0 Brian Cho · Oct 2025

The food was fantastic. I would have to say the ribs were my favorite. Food came out hot and juicy. Not dry like most bbq places. I will definitely coming back when I am around in Reno.

Our company of nine stopped by Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que in Reno and was immediately impressed by how fast the food came out - lightning quick! The atmosphere was very cool with an authentic BBQ vibe. Personally - loved the wall decor and the spacious layout with a variety of diff seating styles that made the place feel comfortable and welcoming. Service was another highlight - staff were attentive, friendly, and made the visit pleasant overall. As for the BBQ itself, it was fine but didn’t quite stand out, especially given how fast it arrived. It felt like there’s still room for improvement in terms of flavor and overall impact. Although the variety and price range should covers it all. That said, the whole group enjoyed the experience enough to come back the next time we all in Reno. Sol

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Tom A · Jul 2025

Service & Atmosphere were good. Food was middling, nothing to write home about. Honestly I make much better at home. Pork was very dry and the BBQ that came with it triggered a gag reflex. Think they put apple in their BBQ, which is a definite no for me. Brisket was also very dry. Sweetwater Catfish Fingers seemed a little bland. Collard greens definitely were amazing though. I wanted seconds on those. All in all it's not bad for the price but I wont be going out of my way for it again. Just tried it to say I tried it.

Local BBQ chain. Has excellent food and good values. Some items are pricey but for the most part very reasonable. Especially lunch and happy hour specials. Daniel did a great job getting my take out order setup and ready to go within 10 to 15 minutes of me ordering it.

Great Food, great drinks, great place for Date Night or Take out Date Night. My server at the bar was a beautiful girl named Elizabeth who provided the best service. She changed the empty Coors Light Keg for us and made sure we were happy throughout our stay. I highly recommend Famous Dave’s.
