Our authentic BBQ starts in a live-wood smoker stoked with genuine hickory logs. Our pitmasters hand-rub the meats with a custom blend of spices and cook for hours to extract the natural flavors. We source the highest quality meats and trim them up like we’re in a competition and hand-rub them with the freshest seasonings available to create mouthwatering experiences! In addition to our BBQ and grilled meats, our menu features a selection of salads, sandwiches, side items, and made-from-scratch desserts.

    Food was great. We had a group of 15 and the food came out in a timely manner. Our server was on top of it. He refilled drinks and he was observant.

    We had a large group but it did take a long time to get our food. It was not very hot when we got it. Could have been a little better.

    Great waitress. She checked on us several times. The food was wonderful! We had a party of 10. Ordered two of the $78 platters. Plenty of food for all. A good time was had by all. Thanks!

    We made a reservation for 5:00pm and didn’t get a table until 6:00pm. Multiple food orders were incorrect. We also got an order of ribs that were burnt to the point that there was no actual meat on them, just 100% black.

    We were there 15 minutes early to check in. 3 times different people told us they were putting tables together for us. Finally the 3rd person actually did go put tables together in the empty upstairs. We were the only people up there. Several empty tables We were seated at 4:35... rsvp was 4:00. The server forgot to bring 1 of our 13 people his food. When it was asked about there was no apology and the plate brought was cold. Another person had to walk into the kitchen area and get her own soda because it was never brought.

    I'll start by saying our server was amazing. She was extremely accomodating and just happy to be there in a genuine way. I requested a 16 person table for a 60th birthday party. I put in this request 2 weeks before the planned date. They split us up into three tables near each other - not happy. My brisket was extremely fatty. Our server was the best thing about the place.

    Everything was great with the dining experience. The server was friendly and efficient. And the food was great. The only issue was making a reservation. I had a party of 9 which Open Table said couldn't be accomodated until 8pm when I wanted the reservation for 6. I was able to make two seperate reservations for two tables and asked in the special request section that the tables be next to each other which Famous Dave's easily accomodated. Seemed like an uneccessary step to create two accounts and two reservations. Luckily it all worked out.

    Food was delicious but portions for price was pretty small. We had a reservation for 1230 and when we got there they had seated somebody else in our section and said they were just waiting for them to leave. We were 10 minutes from our reservation and they had even ordered yet. Luckily we had less than our party than expected and they sat us in a different spot. Not the spot promised and arranged previous because of my mom's health issues. Our waitress kept forgetting our order screwed up our food brought the wrong wine and forgot one of the beers for our table. But yet they included the full percentage of the tip in the final price of the food. We had a good time with family and the food tasted good so we didn't complain but will probably make our reservations elsewhere next year for our family gathering.

    Reading the menu my wife and I decided to split the pick 3 . We picked the ribs, roasted chicken and catfish fingers. . Upon arrival of our food we received 2 ribs for $1 upcharge 2!! and a 1/4 of a chicken… NOWHERE on the menu does it say your portions are smaller if you buy more. .. seems like a scam to me! It says 1/2 a chicken on the menu .. and 2 ribs!!!! WTH I paid more for products and got less!!?? Makes a lot of sense. We won’t be back

    I made reservations. It asked me if there was an occasion which I answered yes, a birthday. No mention of by staff & no free dessert. Not sure why even asked then. HBD to me.
