Editorial reviews from the web (1)

The “mouthwatering” brisket and other “lightly smoky” specialties are a “joy” at this “above-average” BBQ chain, so “don’t let the fact that some of the food is served on trash-can lids turn you off”; though naysayers call it “nothing special” and knock its “kitschy” looks (“like a movie set of a Texas” joint), the “chipper” service and “fair” prices keep it a “favorite.”

Sad to think that at one point this chain of restaurants had some really good eats. Service was great but the food was old, pre made and really dry(which explains all the sauces). Don't see them being around too much longer.

It was my first visit to Dave's Bar-B-Que but I didn't regret it. The Texas Beef Brisket was excellent.
The staff was very friendly and gave some good advice on the menu.

Wonderful ribs

Famous Dave's is one of our favorite places for ribs. This was a carryout order for 4 adults and it did not disappoint. Even after a 10 min drive back to the apt they were still hot and tasty. We had sides of beans, fries, grilled pineapple and mashed potatoes. There was not an unhappy member of our family. We...
