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

by bigboys

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

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

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

No Coke so not highly recommended

by billatkublakhan

All of the food is GREAT and extremely enjoyable Q!! The ONLY negative (and THIS is a HUGE negative) is that they have Pepsi products and NO COKE (if restaurants want to have Pepsi they should also have "the real thing" which is Coke!)! Because of this, instead of being able to dine there and enjoy it, I'm forced to usually get takeout and enjoy my coke with it at home! I've never attempted to take my OWN Coke into Famous Dave's, however, which is a possibility. That's why my rating here is RECOMMENDED instead of HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

• Pros: Great barbecue! Great food selection!
• Cons: No Coke (only Pepsi) so "thumbs down"!!

Amazing BBQ in SLC

by curaloco

Before coming to Utah, I thought that the best BBQ I had tried was the Salt Lick in Austin,TX, but now that I have tried Famous Daves, I don't regret moving to Utah from Texas, as I can still enjoy great BBQ.

We asked for takeout, just to try this restaurant, the ribs, the sausage links that we ordered were amazing, their spicy BBQ sauce is extremely good, but you really don't need it as the Ribs and Sausages have BBQ flavor all over them.

Price was more than fair for the amount of food we received, service was prompt and helpful.

I am already hooked to this BBQ restaurant, greatly recommended

• Pros: Excellent BBQ

Mediocre at Best

by jules1353

I'm from Chicago and love great ribs! The ribs at Famous Dave's were mediocre at best. We're baby back rib fans because they are so tender and moist-Famous Dave's doesn't even offer them! The "charred" flavor of the ribs tasted burned to me. We won't be back.

• Pros: Ambience ok in a rustic way
• Cons: Food

Good sauce adn just average ribs

by stormwa

Plenty of sauces to try, most are good. Do try the Devil's Spit. It's not hot.

Potato salad was ech.

Ribs are smoked and held, then grilled to reheat. Poor method and ruins the flavor.

• Pros: Good sauce, plenty of parking, but full
• Cons: Nothing special about the rest of it. Chain food.

The ribs are excellent. The value is very good as well. You get a lot of food for the money. The atmosphere is also very good.

Variety

by hellibeer

Variety is the spice of life!! I really like the fact that they have many BBQ sauces on the table if one should so desire a different flavor than the "perfect" way FD's it come to your plate. I enjoyed the food as is. I have been to other places that seem to think that to put BBQ sauce on "boiled" meat makes it BBQ. The flavor of FD's meat along with the tenderness indicates they cook their meat on a grill quite a long time for a true BBQ flavor. I had the ribs. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich, both were good. The music was classic rock which is a step up from the "country": music played in other places in the valley.

• Pros: resonably priced, friendly server

MEAT LOVER

by attorres34

YUM YUM YUMMY RIBS AND RIB TIPS. AND THE CORN BREAD IS THE BEST CORN BREAD I HAVE EVER TRIED, BUT I WOULD STAY AWAY FROM THE CHICKEN IT'S NOT THE BEST. THE PORK AND BEANS AND DRUNKIN APPLES ARE VERY FLAVORABLE. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE RESTAURANTS.

• Pros: RIBS, RIB TIPS, CORN BREAD
