Yes, I do love brisket. Tender, juicy, pile it high on a bun, drench it in sauce -- I AM a happy camper. The first time I walked into the Duluth - Canal Park location, there was a crowd of Coast Guard personnel going in. I couldn't have asked for a better recommendation! My companion and I were seated at a table that had no less than six different, very tasty sauces. My favorites were a mixture of Devil's Split (delete the ""L"" in ""Split"" because this website won't allow the actual word) and the Sweet and Tangy, along with my usual splashes of Tabasco. Provided at tableside was a huge roll of paper towels. Sweet! I knew we were in for a good slop-fest! We both ordered the Brisket Sandwich. It was huge and fantastic! The side of potato salad was just enough to compliment and cool me down from my beloved Tabasco. The side of slaw is also tasty. Everything seems to be made fresh, not sitting around from the previous day's service. To top off our meal we ordered the fudge brownie ala mode. Gawd, it was rich! We ordered one to share, but should have gotten two and just stuffed ourselves stupid. I am quite happy to announce that a Famous Dave's will be opening in my hometown. Can't wait!
Pros: Good food; close to the boat action in Canal Park
Cons: Music's a bit loud
