I went to the favorite famous Dave's location in Minnetonka and had a real nice lunch. I bought a burger off there lunch menu for $10 and it included a side of corn. I also ordered an extra two Texas beef ribs. The food here does not disappoint, it's very filling and savory. I do think it's got one of the best value propositions of any restaurant in town. Don't forget to sign up for rewards which when utilize takes about 10% off your bill. Also, make sure to come here for happy hour, three dollar beers and cheap ribs, burgers, and wings. read more

Hadn't been here in years. Had a craving for the catfish fingers and shrimp. Much different than I remember, i thought they had waiters but I guess you order and then seat yourself. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. I dont mind grabbing my own refills cause I drink a lot of water. Food was hot and delicious. If you've been inside one of these, theyre all the same, very much a BBQ joint look lol. I might have to go back on friday for the fish fry deal. read more

Food was good... The location felt dirty. Several tables had piles of empty dishes and the sauces were sticky..yuk

Famous Dave's BBQ baby back ribs were very good, Wilber beans flavorful and smoky, and the famous fries, love the fries! Was a very good meal. Bought a slice of the country apple pie, was a complete tasteless, prefabricated conveyer belt and built pie. Surrounded with a horrible warehouse made slab of the most non flaky garbage ingredients of cheap bulk flour and lard, sprinkled with some wannabe machined imitation scant amount sugar. I total disgrace and complete insult to a once very good plump and over filled with apples sugar and cinnamon pie people would preorder then line up car after car to pick up for the holidays with a beautiful flaky crust that was worth the price and the wait of lined up cars to pick up a very close to home made pie that was so good it didn't need whip cream or ice cream to enhance the flavor or beauty of the pie, an apple pie that is now just a memory! Even a hostess apple pie tastes better than bakers square country apple pie slice costing $5, Hostess for $1.67! Famous Dave, drop the bakers square pies, they are embarrassing your quality Q! read more

This location has a happy hour, so you can get some nice deals on food. We took advantage of this and got a variety of food to share. We got: The Pulled Pork Sandwich (one each), Southside Rib Tips, Two Bones St. Louis Style Ribs (two each), and fountain beverages. Everything was delicious and fresh. We appreciate that Famous Dave's has been working hard to regain their status as a great place to get barbecue. We took home some of the food that was left, as our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. Even reheated, the food was tasty. We'll certainly return as we go to see movies in Rosedale a fair amount. read more

We ordered from Uber eats. The food was terrible and we were charged for 2 banana puddings and never received. We called store and they said come by anytime for you puuding which I did the very next day and they had no pudding ready and was told need to wait an hour. I just left Will ever eat there again read more

Order 2 family feast, fried pickles, cheese curds, and rib tips. My personal favorite was the rib tips and the ribs itself preferably the baby back ribs though because they were more juicy. Corn bread is also ALWAYS a must have when you come here Requested to have Wilmar's hot sauce on the side because it is fiery good! Service was quick and everything went well. They cleared the tables quick and food was brought out fast. Interior was neat and plenty of parking as well read more

Ordered takeout for Lunch. Texas Beef Brisket, Southside Rib Tips, Garlic Red-Skin Mashed Potatoes and a corn bread muffin. Current price $13.00. Customer Service did a nice job on presentation. For "Minnesota Barbecue" it's pretty decent, the sauce definitely helps kick it up the flavor chart. I was a big fan of the mashed potatoes as well . A filling meal under $15.00. read more

Pulled pork was tough and dry. Fries were old. Seems their food has gotten worse. It's a shame because I generally Iike their Q.

Good food. Great people! I have seen them give away food to the homeless who come in on numerous occasions. BBQ in Minnesota is pretty so so but these folks deserve the community support read more

Was craving brisket by the pound. $25 per pound. I ordered 1/2 lb. I just assumed it came with no sauce on the brisket but it was sauced. The brisket was much less than 'nothing special'. Ask for extra fatty and there was virtually no fat on it. No flavor. I was disappointed. read more

Inside service has always been good. It's been a year or so since I've used curbside service... so my hope is the staff that worked that area has been replaced. The app has a wonderful little link that you can click when you arrive, to notify staff to bring out your food. I did this on three separate occasions... in about as many months. I will be transparent that I tend not to tip online on such orders. Rather I tip in cash when I get my food based on how long I actually had to wait. I'm not sure if that was the "problem" with my orders or not. All three times I arrived and waited 20 - 25 minutes for my order. The last time I ordered it was the free slice of birthday dessert. I waited roughly a half hour before finally going in. When I walked in a gal was standing at the cash register... my cheesecake slice all packaged up and ready to go in front of her. She wasn't helping anyone and the dining room wasn't busy like she hadn't had a moment to step away. I didn't ask why it wasn't brought out, just took it and left. Writing off this restaurant for the worst to-go service. If also had an issue when I ordered to-go, where you had to come inside to pick it up. I believe at the time the online ordering method told you what time your food would be ready, so I left home about 10 minutes before that so I would arrive when it was ready.. I arrived...waited...waited... waited some more, now I'd went from being the only person there to about four others. My tummy was growling!!! The employee said "Nikki" or what I thought was Nikki and I hopped up as I'd been there the longest, it must be my food!! I took it, drove home... took the food out. Ugh, this isn't what I ordered!!! Oh no!! Boy is that lady going to be as disappointed in her pulled chicken sandwich as I am in this quarter chicken lunch!! Sorry, but I was there first, so why wouldn't I assume they were calling my name? I'm partially to blame... the employee didn't read off the order before handing it over. I'm too hungry to go back and get the right food... and you...maybe Vicki, are probably already gone w your incorrect lunch as well. I would recommend this location for dining in but he other options....not so much. As I stated above, this was a year-ish ago so hopefully if other customers had the same poor service they were louder than me and customer service has been improved? ....here's to hoping! read more

The service at this location is consistently very rude, making it an unpleasant experience for customers. The staff frequently gets the order wrong. Avoid famous dave at this location at all costs. read more

Famous Dave's never lets me down - five stars! After eating BBQ all over the Twin Cities, I have to say that Famous Dave's is worthy of 5 stars. I've never had a bad experience at any location. There's some great BBQ in the Twin Cities. But I think Dave's has them all beat with the large variety on the menu, consistent quality, and fair pricing. I particularly like the "Feast for Two" so I can try a bit of everything. Thumbs up! -Daddy Maxx Retro read more

First off I am from Texas (Houston - best city in Texas) and I know a thing or two about great bbq and let me tell you what, famous Dave's bbq is great! Food: moist brisket is so flavorful and tasty. Do not get the lean brisket. Get the moist. The jalapeño cheese sausage is simply amazing! The put the brisket on a piece of Texas style toast, so good. They also put the sausage on top of some of that Texas toast too. Such an nice extra touch to compliment the amazing meats. The rib ends are pretty good too. All the meat is smoked like real bbq should be! The sides are so dam good too! I got the Mac n cheese and it was very tasty. The dirty rice was really good as well. Amazing sides! The bbq sauce is so good too! Service: Christina is such a professional. She took good care of me! I will definitely stop in next time I'm on the area. From a real lover of great bbq, do yourself a favor and try this place. You will not be disappointed. How could I forget. They give you this little muffin that is so dam good! read more

Burger special Monday and I paid extra for this lettuce and cheese I understand it's a burger special but wow. I ended up paying $10.50 for the $4.50 special.50 for that slice of tomato and another .50 for that one partial lettuce leaf-- the part we usually throw away at home? I am disappointed, all three of our specials came like this. read more

Already posted this to Google but figured I should post it here too. This place is alright but I was really disappointed when I opened up the "peach cobbler" that they gave me and found this milky nastiness inside. I ordered take out and I'm not about to go back so the rest of my food goes cold for them to replace it, so I guess I just wasted my money today. Peach cobbler is my favorite dessert and is the reason I came to this location specifically. Really disappointed. read more

Famous Dave's is a restaurant who specializes in bbq. They are pretty decent but not the best bbq ever. Restaurant: there is a counter when you walk in where you order, they give you a number to set at your table for them to bring your food to. They have plenty of tables and some of them do expand to make them bigger. Service: the manager did come around and ask us how things were but other then that the service was fine nothing wonderful or subpar about it. Food: normally I would give them four stars but I brought my rating down to three because of my meat. My mom and I both got the classic Georgia pork. Hers was fine, mine had the actual end of the meat and a ton of fat. I was really disappointed because it made it not super appetizing anymore then. That being said the parts that weren't fatty were good and my moms was perfectly fine. I got mine with the beans which have some kick to them. I also got the corn on the cob. This particular platter also comes with a corn muffin (these are sooo good I always order extra to-go) Overall I'm sure we will be back, however I really hope today was a fluke and I get better meat next time. read more

There are lots of other BBQ choices in St. Paul, but when I need to just go in and grab some ribs I go to Famous Dave's. Usually I get the four-bone meal, with Wilbur Beans and mashed potatoes. Carry-out is only 5 minutes from my house, but I usually have to microwave the food when I get home. They do a good job of keeping the large dining room clean. Staff is usually super busy, no matter what the crowd, and I don't think I've ever had a stellar customer service experience there, but they get the job done. Never a place I just really look forward to going, but they give me my rib fix. I think it's time to start investigating the smaller rib shacks around St. Paul. read more

We had a fantastic experience at this location; I don't understand the many bad reviews. We came on a Saturday for lunch and received excellent thoughtful quick service, delicious food (including pie) and the location is clean and looks newer or recently redone. read more

Oh how far you've slid down hill. Normally I'm a big fan of Dave's, but wow tonight was just awful. When we entered the restaurant it was only about half full and there was only one person ahead of us placing their order at the counter. When I started placing my order the counter worker kept on talking over me saying "what? huh?" She also had no idea what a Memphis style BBQ sandwich was, so when I explained she said "oh you want a side of slaw." After explaining that the slaw goes on the sandwich she replied "so you don't want any sauce." After telling her no the slaw goes on the sandwich and it also has BBQ sauce, one of her colleagues finally reached over her and punched in my order for her. So if you are familiar with Dave's you know that unless you are ordering a hamburger, nothing is cooked to order, it is just a matter of dishing up the order. It took an hour and fifteen minutes for our food to be brought to our table. We checked after 45 minutes and the first comment rather than "Oh, I'm so sorry" was "Well the kitchen is backed up, we've had lots of orders." Now mind you we had sat there and watched a steady stream of people walk in, order carry out and have their order prepared promptly." Any way we were told it would be 10 more minutes when in reality it took another 30. The coups de Grace though was that not only was their no slaw on my sandwich, but both my dining companion and I received lukewarm food. When my companion took his food back to the counter, the manager had the audacity to tell him it had been a busy night. Look I know that restaurants are struggling coming back up to speed. I'd probably not even have bothered writing a review this evening and let it slide, but when your staff does not even to seem to care, well sorry, not sorry. read more

Worst Brisket I've ever had. It was very discolored and felt like rubber with no smoke taste what soever I have had the brisket for years at Daves and it was something I used to rave about. However this not only did not look right , It did not taste right. Management just shrugged thier shoulders and did not care. I would never step foot in Rosevilles Famous Daves again. I even responded to Customer Service and got NO Reply!! read more

It was a really bad experience yesterday evening . I and my husband with two friends there at 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, the waitress tried to take our plates away during the time we are eating two times. It was second time we were there. The first time the waitress was a white young girl and nice , we left tips. The second time the waitress was a fat black girl, discourteous . I think probably the beginning when I paid without tips, the waitress was mad, so... I like to give tips after the service, so the waitress can not wait... and mad... I called the manager today and tell her about it, she thinks the waitress is right, ok, I WILL NEVER GO TO FAMOUS DAVE'S NO MORE! read more

Customer service was horrible. Lady in the front was blunt and rude. I did not feel one bit of hospitality. I also felt rushed while making my order. Once I received my order, they gave me wrong sides so I had to bring it back to get my correct order and while doing so the same lady in the front rolled her eyes. Only giving 2 stars because the food made up for it. read more

I ask for rib tips And i got uncut rib bones not cut at all. Y The sauce was hot i ask for mild sauce. The meat was hard on my teeth. I had to throw them away. I spent $20 too.

I think 2 weeks ago read more

If I'm ever in the mood of BBQ, I come here since it is so close to home. However, I do not think the quality of the food justifies the price of the food. (AKA not a good value) Service: Neutral about it. You order your food at the front and sit down with a number. They bring your food out. You refill your own drinks so I don't really have a comment about the service here. They will bus your table after you leave. Good: The Rich and sassy is my favorite BBQ sauce here. I like the baby back ribs better than the St. Louis style ribs. I always get the Mac and cheese and fries/mashed potatoes. Bad: Beef brisket is not good. It tastes fatty. I didn't like the dark meat chicken either. I think this is a personal preference since I like white meat chicken better. read more

I ordered online. I've done it before. Caution go to their actual website to order. Do no order through Google or anywhere else. The prices are wrong.

I went to Famous Dave's in Roseville for the all you can eat fish on a Friday recently. Wow were to begin! I ordered the my meal and sat down. I got my fish and chips ,but got it before I received my silverware! Really? Also when I was done with my first plate, I pushed it to the side to indicate I was done . However I was totally ignored. I had to go talk to the manager not once but twice to get some halfway service!! The second time I talked to a manager I started getting my food at a decent time, I will admit. However, I was just getting the fish only, not the chips that's supposed to go along with it!! I was seeing other people's plates served to them and many of them had chips on their plates!! I don't appreciate false advertising!!! Don't get me wrong, I came for the fish versus the chips buit it said all you can eat fish and chips not all you can eat fish!! If they were about to run out of chips, why didn't they just simply offer my another side iti might have em like mac and cheese or cole slaw? Despite all my venting, everything I said is not the reason I am giving them one out of five stars. Here is why: when I was done, I went to the restroom and used the toilet . When I was done handling my business, I looked up and I saw on the wall above me a b&w photo of 2 black-american men and 1 black-american woman. Now don't quote me on this, but it looked as if they were pushing a janitor's cart!!! WTF??!! Their dining room has room on the walls to put up the damn photo. Why is the only picture of black folks they have above the stall of the mens bathroom??!! I might have to call the NAACP on these jokers!!! SMGDH!!! read more

You are going to see a ton of reviews for Famous Dave's I have had several different experiences. There are times when I feel like I'm the most important person that has ever walked in those doors and they're going to do whatever they can to make me happy. That's one end of the spectrum.there are other times when I walk in that door and they have no idea that I'm there nor do they care. Recently I went in and asked for 2 bones naked. I got 4 bones with sauce. I asked my server what was up with that she was like well this is just how it is I was like but I ordered it naked just like oh fine she took it back and then brought me to bones naked. So somehow my original order meant for bones for sauce just was it was just not well done. I'm leaving for Starz just because it's yummy. read more

Great food!! Got the 3 meat pick ribs (2), brisket (3), and the best was the Georgia chopped pork!! 2 Sides of broccoli!! Keto baby!!

The friendliness of the cashiers, the service and the food. That's it .. thank you.. I would recommend to my other family and friends.

OK. It's Famous Dave's...it's not exceptional but it has always been reliable. You know exactly what you're going to get. Until now. They have made some changes-some good-some not so good. First the good, because I like to keep it positive. They have a new bigger assortment of bottled beer-and 2 tap beers! Moar beer-one IPA and one Blonde. I really like IPA and this one was really good. My husband had the blonde and he liked it too. Now for the changes we didn't feel were improvements...first, they removed my husband's reason for stepping into FD's, the Devil's Spit burger. Gone from the menu. They made him a regular burger and put pepper-jack cheese and bacon on it with the Devil's Spit sauce -- but they no longer put brisket on the burger nor do they have jalapeño bacon. He thought his burger was OK, but he declared it was time to find a new favorite burger place when we were finished. Next, they changed their cornbread. It used to be a wonderful little muffin, and now it is a piece of corn cake. Tasted like a cross between cornbread and yellow cake. They also changed their plating-used to come out in a tin lid that kept all your food contained. Now it's on a white platter. I was constantly shoving my food back onto the plate so it wouldn't topple over the sides. They only put Rich & Sassy and Sweet & Zesty sauces on the table. I had to hunt down Devils Spit, and had to ask for Ketchup. I had roasted chicken and it was good. My son had ribs and he said they were great. So not everything has changed. Our food was much slower coming out to the table than usual, but the server was nice and the food was hot-and I had a cold IPA to suck down until our food arrived, so I was content. read more

My wife and I had a free sandwich coupon here from joining the email club and my mom was in town from Rochester helping out my sister in Rochester, so "What the heck?!" Let's hit a Famous Dave's I have never been to on Snelling. It is a counter style joint, where you order and then bring out your food to the table. I got the Texas Brisket sandwich with the voucher and they were super cool and gave my wife a plain grilled chicken breast and 2 corn bread muffins. Her FAVORITE! I also ordered a Summit EPA, I got this puny 12 ounce glass for like $5.75. What!? I was kind of pissed off at this price for like 6 gulps of beer. Anyway, no big whoop, except it was a big whoop. It cost them from 4 to 3 stars. My sandwich came with cubed brisket hunks, I really prefer their pulled meats, so I know to get those in the future. I drenched everything in the super hot Wilber sauce. I was sweating by the end. I may have to roll it back to Devil Spit. I ordered my mashed potatoes as the side. Super awesome with the BBQ sauce! My wife gave me two bites of her grilled chicken and they were 5 star, if I could give 6, I would give it for those. I have heard rumors that they cook all this stuff at a central location and ship it out to their franchises. Dear Lord, I hope not, but as I think of it more, it could be the Applebee's of Twin Cities BBQ. I hope to God I am wrong. I want a huge smoker around, with a guy sweating over it ever 40 minutes. Pray to God, I am wrong. (I am guessing I am correct.) read more

I haven't been here in awhile and I thought I'd check back. We had some nice lunch specials - Rib Tips and Chopped Pork with a side of Beans for me. The tips were very good. They had a nice crispy outside but the meat was tender.The chopped pork comes on Texas toast. It wasn't bad, but next time I'll double up on the tips. The side of beans was tasty as were the signature pickles. The corn meal muffin was a good closer. My wife had catfish and brisket which she rates "thumbs up" / "its ok". Apparently Dave himself was there on some sort of promo - I think they won some recent award. (see the pic with him and the pig). The pig was lively and I even saw him dancing with ladies from a nearby table. Dance a jig with a pig? I'd renege. read more
