My boyfriend and I decided to try out Famous Dave's last Friday before heading to a movie. When we arrived we were told there would be a 20-30 minute wait but we ended up waiting around 40 minutes. I'm not sure what the delay was but luckily we are pretty patient and we had plenty of time to make the movie so we didn't say anything. It was pretty crowded that night and the waiting area wasn't adequate in my opinion. It was small and right outside the bar so the noise level was a little high.
When we finally got seated, our server was very nice and attentive. He came over right away to get our drinks and offer up some suggestions for the menu. We ended up ordering the pulled pork and the brisket with some various sides. I ended up liking my boyfriends pulled pork more than my brisket and vice versa. The jalapeno mac and cheese (a recommendation from our waiter) was very good and I like the variety of sauces on the table. It helped that they had a description of each one so we wouldn't end up setting our mouths on fire.
We saved room for dessert and ordered the small version of the banana pudding. It was very good! Probably something I could make at home but I'm glad we ordered it. It was the perfect amount for two if you don't want a lot for dessert. All in all, we will come back again but I hope they work the kinks out with the seating times. It is a new restaurant so I'm sure they are still working on some fine tuning.
