Disappointed. What happened to this place. Wife orders ribs, naked, asks for sample of new sauce on side. Can’t do that, have to charge for a side. So, a BBQ rib place wants to charge for the new sauce on the side. Ridiculous.

Ribs were not done. Fighting like crazy to get the meat off the bone. I’m sorry, but the food quality has gone down hill.

Although we enjoy Famous Dave's, we were there when all of the wait staff had called in sick. Only one waitress for the entire restaurant! She did a great job but, one had to be patient!

Although it's not quite the season for bbq, we had a wonderful time and delicious meal at Famous Dave's in Centennial. The wait for a table was minimal, food was hot and delicious, server was polite and engaging, the surroundings were comfortable.

Would never return again, our waitress rushed the entire meal and made it hard to enjoy it. I asked the waitress about something missing from my sandwich. She stated very quickly “it doesn’t come with that unless asked for on the side” I told her I’d like it then and she came back and said “you were correct, the kitchen just didn’t know that’s how it was made”. Why does the kitchen not know how to make their own food?? That meal was comped which I appreciated but overall would never return here again. Service was not good, food was subpar at best and atmosphere was not it.

I would have given more stars but was told open table overbooked their reservations by 40 people so we scooted to the bar to eat so otherwise we would have had an hour wait.

We arrived on Father’s Day after making a reservation only to be told they were not honoring reservations because some large parties had arrived. Never going back.

It was Father's day so a bit of a delay expected, but we had reservations for lunch at 3:30, when we arrived they said "lots of people had reservations and we are short staffed" so they just put everyone on a walk in list after saying 15 mins. 45 minutes later we were seated, missing the lunch window. Then, when the food did come out it was small and was not good : the Sausage was excellent, Mac good, brisket okay, pulled pork nasty [ parts at bottom of heap that should have been thrown away, not served for consumption ]. I am sorry about the short staff, but treating customers this way with poor service and worse, poor food, isn't the answer...next time say sorry, offer a free appetizer as a small token, honor lunch, make sure food you do serve is worthy of your name.
