""Famous"" because of advertising budget, not because of food 3/25/2008

Lets be honest with ourselves... Famous Daves is famous in cities without good BBQ. I doubt they will survive in Kansas City where BBQ is the only thing that puts us on the map. Daves brisket tastes like beef jerky... the ribs taste like pork chops...and the beans are straight up Van Camps with sausage chunks. If it was cheaper...maybe it would be acceptable...but for two of us it was 40 bucks and it was not even as good as applebees all you can eat riblets night. also...BBQ is BBQ. Cajun chicken sandwich is not. The decor was nice, but I care more about the taste than the wall nic-nacs. Pros: The meat was cooked to temp Cons: price, taste, misuse of the term BBQ more

Love this place! Sauces are the best! 3/14/2007

We've dined at Famous Dave's more than a dozen times. (We'd go more often if it was closer to our home.) Their food and their service are excellent. They're almost always crowded, which attests to how much people love it. The choice of sauces are great, and they're delicious; my favorite sauces out of all the BBQ restaurants in the KC metro. Pros: Great sauces, food and service Cons: Always crowded, but what can you do? more

Worth the wait 7/10/2005

It may take some time to get a seat but it is worth the wait. Great flavor, generous portions, great service staff. very reasonable prices. We often use the carry-out since we live within 20 minutes. Pros: portions, taste, price Cons: parking, too popular more

Great BBQ 5/19/2005

Famous Daves is located directly across the street from the Great Wolf Lodge and I would guess that at least half the people staying there walk across the street to eat. Add in the fact it is also across the street from Cabalas and Nebraska Furniture Mart it is in a very high traffic area which can equal a wait. The food has always been excellent and the service top notch. I drive from Topeka to Kansas City just to eat there. more
