Famous Daves Bar B Que

Why, Dave, why?!

I got their BBQ chicken sandwich before heading back to the airport. Let's just say I arrived at the airport starving.

Three bites into the sandwich I bit into the largest and most disgusting piece of fat I ever had the misfortune to taste.

OK, my gag reflexes are kicking in so I must wrap this review up.

To sum it all up.... No thanks!

We have gone to this Famous Dave's many times over the years.  In the past, I would have given this restaurant 4 stars.  Their food used to be really good. The chicken and brisket were out of this world and the ribs were really good.  For the past year or so, the food has been mixed and the service gone down hill.  The last several times that we have been there, something was wrong:  either one of the dishes was cold, too dry or just tasted bad.  We have gone back here several times hoping that things returned to the way that they were but they have not.  I don't think I'll go back here for a while.  Too bad. It is a good value but not worth it with these issues.

I have been to Famous Dave's a few times and have always had a good experience. I never had to wait for a table, the staff are friendly, and the food has been consistently tasty.

Most recently I ordered chopped pork, baked beans, and broccoli. You always get a side of cornbread and homemade BBQ chips. It's fun trying all the different BBQ sauces. They vary based on level of sweetness and spice. The lemonade is delicious as well.

Yesterday, we had an AMAZING waiter. His name is "Justin E.". If you go to the Mountainside location, ask to sit at his table. I always have a ton of questions before I place an order. Justin was very patient, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. He checked on my friend and I, very frequently, to see if we needed anything. He smiled and was happy to be working. I worked all day so having dinner with Justin as a waiter, made for a pleasant way to end my evening.

If you want good BBQ and a full course meal for a reasonable price, Famous Dave's is the place. I can't comment on dessert because I am always full!
