What People Are Saying About Famous Dave's

The Scene – Famous Dave's is cozy, with walls with wood accents, old license plates and folksy artwork. Booths feature paper towel rolls, a homey touch that's an indication of the messy feast that awaits. Families dominate the scene, though the restaurant also appeals to urban couples seeking refuge from the big city-dining experience. – – The Food – One taste is enough to forget this is a chain. The All-American BBQ Feast serves two and features a perfect selection of meats, served on a garbage can lid. Ribs are cooked to perfection; beef brisket is…

BEST RIBES EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by bigboys at Citysearch

I'm sorry if I did this badly, but this is my first time.

This please gave me instant gratification. First: I had fast serves, she gave me my drink within 15 Secants, and she gave me my food in under a minute, Second: the food was excellent.

Warning to you BYU fans: when you walk in through the door, there is a giant UTS flag in front of you.

  • Pros: Good food
  • Cons: UTS flag

RIBS!!!

by ssatak at Citysearch

Just a year ago, an old friend took me to his high school's homecoming. We arrive at Famous Dave's to meet 4 or 5 other couples. The dress i wore we much different from the other girls present. They each wore a dark, half length, small, easy to fit in, dress. While I had spent lots of time and energy to look as adorable and grown up as I could. I wore a long dark skirt with a tight corset. I ordered my full raque of ribs dripped with bbq sause. They were so tender, juicy, and messy. I was enjoying my face in my meal. I look, with my mouth full of meat, down my table and noted that all the girls, including some boys, ordered a very large salad, later, which they could not finish.

My date proudly anounced, once again, that I was his girl. I laughed.

Famous Dave's atmosphere is so cozy, the ole western feel, taste, look, and smell, brings a good taste of beer and ribs!

Typical chain lookin restaurant with some goot ribs!!!!

by jasanna_cuch at Citysearch

I'm always up for some good food and willing to travel the distance. I decided to go to this FAMOUS DAVE'S, it's a clean restaurant with the typical chain look. Prompt seating and service was excellent!! Huge selection of food from fish, appettizer's, sausage, chicken, ribs, sandwiches, etc. I received my food quickly which was RIBS! Since I heard so much bout dem ribz I was just tempted on trying them!!! They had a great taste, great sauce! The only major complaint was they were quite costly for the amount provided. The prices are what you would typically see in TGIF, Tony Roma's, etc. For a great example check out Sonny Bryan's, Jim Neely's Interstate BBQ, Arthur Bryant's. A all located in other states and world famous for BBQ.

  • Pros: Prompt seating, parking, service
  • Cons: COST
