famous dave's

i love it! cheap and really good!

did i say"fat" u like fat-great. four of us were very hungry after visiting mr. jacksons home place. three of us ordered the texas brisket and one the pork plate. for those of you that gave this place great reviews you do not know bbq plain and simple. this is the worst bbq and fattest meat i have ever seen. the brisket was like an accordion. i have ate bbq from texas, colorado, tn and florida and famous dave's is the worst i have seen for taste and fat. i even seen him on pit masters so i talked the family into going here. the cornbread muffins come out in a cupcake paper and are more like cake (flour) than cornmeal. no one ate their meal and asked to see the manager. she was very nice and helpful, she offered to find us more suitable meats etc. for that we thank her. we declined and the bill was taken away. if you are ever in the conroe,tx area go by a place called sticky ribs bbq and order their brisket. they have mouth watering brisket, best i ever had and bennets in co for ribs. i have to admit i will never go back to a famous daves. i strongly urge you to test their food first if you decide to go.

not fancy, but good. this is a chain restaurant, and it shows in the decor and service. that being said, the food is pretty good. i enjoy all the different sauces on the table, and i find the ribs in particular are fantastic.

the cornbread is too sweet for me, as are some of the chicken sauces, but i am kind of fussy about that.

when i first started going to famous dave's, i loved it! however, after a few times, i realized that the food is inconsistent. the last time i went, my macaroni was stone cold. the waitress never came by to correct the mistake.
although there are some negatives, one positive makes up for it: the burnt ends. they're spectacular. the rest of the food is above average. however, if you're looking for an incredible bbq experience, try martin's or mission bbq. they're much better in my opinion. still, i'll probably visit famous dave's again someday. the atmosphere and waiters are usually very good

stopped by for a quick bite. who goes out on the 4th of july? me. when i'm shopping. had the pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw on top and beans as a side. it was good as expected. always like famous daves. needed to slather that sweet que sauce on it to make it even better. service was great. business was slow so service was timely. nice restaurant...better than some daves i've been in.

i ordered the "two meat bbq combo", which comes with your choice of two meats, two sides and a corn bread muffin. for my meats, i ordered the bbq roasted chicken breast and the texas style brisket. the brisket was smoky and tender and amazing. you could see a nice pronounced smoke ring and a little bit of char on the outside crust. i wish i would have ordered something else instead of the chicken. it wasn't bad, but for some reason in my mind i was hoping or thinking it would be pulled chicken off of the smoked breast. the meat was slightly dry, and i hate dealing with chicken bones but i doused it in different kinds of bbq sauces that they have at the table and it was good. for my sides i ordered the mac and cheese, which was gooey and cheesy like it should be, and the garlic red-skin mashed potatoes. i am also really picky when it comes to cornbread because although it's supposed to be slightly "crumby", i still like it to be sticky enough that it holds together when you try and eat it. this corn muffin did just that.

decent for a chain place. s l o w service. ate there at 2pm saturday afternoon, may have had 4 other tables of people. took ten minutes just to get our drink order. brisket is dry and tuff , cooked too fast. pork was decent. ribs were good but cooked till soft. ribs should have to be bitten off the bone. probably won't be back.

horrible customer service. the absolute worst customer service. i called in a pickup order and was hung up on once, placed on hold for more than 5 minutes the second time. once i arrived to get my order, there was no one at the hostess stand. i figured they were probably getting someone to their table. 7 people walked on after me and we were all standing there waiting to be helped. someone behind me said "they must not want our service". needless to say, 6 minutes later, a host finally walked over. i asked to speak with a manager to inform them of the horrible communication disconnect this establishment has and the obvious lack of urgency and professionalism to help its visitors.

great place, delicious bbq. if you like bbq, you must go here! delicious bbq, great service, and the atmosphere was very cute!

awesome chili and service!. stopped in after a dr appt - was really wanting chili and it didn't disappoint at all. reminded me how i make my own in fact so highly recommended. i sat at the bar and the bartender/service person named melissa was outstanding - very courteous/responsive/friendly and made everything that much more enjoyable - tip her well. i also went with the wings (have pics of both will post) which are bbq based (makes sense given the theme of the restaurant) which where decent (still will go to hooters for hot wings personally) but it was wing wed and they were very good if you like the bbq sauces they have which i do. have a script from dr to pick up in hermitage today so may just stop in again - hope the bartender is the same and i get outstanding service like i did yesterday. give it a try if you are in the area or havent been (i'm from tx so this was new to me).

service was poor

great food but very slow service in the bar. one server for all the bar tables made the experience slow thus impacting my visit negatively.

good food, great service. got our money's worth.

get in here!!!. the atmosphere is fun, the prices are fair, the staff is friendly, & the food is omg amazballs!!!!!!!

very good fast waitstaff very impressed
