Famous Dave's has great food and generally good service but sometimes the rib tips and other barbecue items seem to have been sitting out for a while. My experience has been that when it comes to bbq, timing often determines how good the food is going to be. The same goes for Chinese buffets. There have been a few times when the meat was tough and had a bit of an off taste, the fries just warm and saturated with oil, and the wings were dry and loose in the skin like they had spent some time under a warmer. Kind of sounds like I don't care for the place right? Wrong! When the BBQ is good, it's really good, They simply have the best side salad that I know of in the whole area, and there are a few of their servers that are the personification of professionalism in a restaraunt of this type, and a couple that aren't, although they seem to cycle out pretty often. Overall, this is one of our favorites, and we don't anticipate that changing any time soon. It would be nice if they paid a little more attention to the restrooms, and kept the food a little fresher, but as I said, the salad alone is enough to win me back, and mabye the football sized baked potatoes- it's really that good.
Pros: When it's good it's great. GREAT salad.
Cons: Restrooms and occasionally food that has been sitting out.
