The ambience is casual with tables and a small bar area. I ordered the rib tips with a side of collard greens and mashed potatoes. The meal comes with corn muffin. The rib tips were juicy, tender, and very delicious! Highly recommend. The mashed potatoes were good, they could have been a little bit more creamy. The collard greens, I personally didn't like it. The Corn muffin was moist, tasty and delicious! Best corn muffins I have had. I wanted some to order muffins to go! That's how good they were. The waitress was very nice and attentive. read more

Celebrated a birthday here with a larger group. We dined in for dinner and from start to finish it was great. This casual BBQ spot has been around for ages. They offer larger platters making it easier for everyone to share. They also have individual entrees as well. I'm not the biggest BBQ fan so I ended up ordering the hickory chicken sandwich. It was pretty good! I liked that they have multiple side options and went with broccoli. My order specifically was brought over maybe 15 mins after everyone else got their food. Our server did explain that the kitchen missed my item hence why it took longer. I appreciated the transparency, no problem. Everyone else enjoyed their shared BBQ platter + an order of their brisket. The platter they ordered says it serves 4-5 people and between 5 of them this was the perfect amount. They also had some left overs too. read more

We came here on a Sunday and every table was full! We posted a video so you can see for yourself! My husband ordered the Ultimate Burger which is his favorite and we have several photos posted because he orders it every time we are here. I ordered the chicken strips with ranch sauce, red mashed potatoes, corn muffin, and broccoli. This is the first time I have ordered this meal and it was delicious. I think I had the chicken strips as part of a platter in the past! I highly recommend them! We signed up to receive text messages and saved $3 too. read more

Horrible service, save your money and time and go somewhere else. My parent were in town and they got treated like trash. We're never going back there again. read more

Another amazing ribs experience at Famous Dave's! Their Rib and Rib combo (half St.Louis and half babyback) was terrific. The ribs were perfect smoked. Excellent service by our lovely server Kimberly. I love Dave's Famous Spiked Backyard Lemonade and chose the Strawberry option. Their Devil's Spit BBQ sauce is my favorite! read more

The pescatarian options are miserable as far as portion size. On my first visit, I ordered the shrimp combo. The combo included 10 shrimp which were over cooked/fried and 2 sides. I chose steamed broccoli and mashed potatoes, which were delicious. Not wanting to form an opinion from one visit, I visited again and ordered the cedar plank salmon. This meal is also $18.99 so I would expect a decent piece of salmon. What I received was a very small. I went back inside to ask if this was the normal portion size for this meal and received an indirect and uncertain response including: "that's what they cooked". There was no attempt to maybe speak with someone and ask or offer options, as it had to have appeared that I was dissatisfied with the salmon portion. The dismissive response is unacceptable customer service, in my opinion. However, the salmon was very well cooked and seasoned! I did enjoy what little I had but don't think I will be back. read more

Overall was a great experience! The service, food, and ambiance of the place was great! The portions and price aren't bad either! I liked the Mac and cheese the best! I definitely recommend the 2 meat combo platter that comes with 2 sides! read more

Food is always fresh great costumer service highly recommended dining in very nice people serving people constantly checking if we need anything. Love it here read more

we were promised food in between 1242-12:57p. I am off shift at 1:30 and they just messaged stating it is delayed and now my coworkers and I cannot get food until 1:05-1:20, right before I leave. So very disappointed and be asking for a partial refund. IDk how a restaurant can promise food and not deliver. We def would have ordered from somewhere else if they would have just told us they cannot provide. read more

Food is great for the price. Lunch platter is small but the meat is impactful. The sausage was actually too much. The slow roasted chicken was tasteful and not too strong. The beans was too sweet. I had the grilled salmon also which was really good. The corn wasn't sweet enough. The fries was a bit salty too. All in all it's a good affordable grub. The salmon was $18 and the lunch platter around $14. read more

We ordered a 2 meat combo lunch meal- Fried Chicken and Ribs. The server- Kimberly- was great. It came with a delicious salad and cornbread- she brought an extra cornbread since we were splitting the meal. We also upgraded to a salad and ordered the Mac & Cheese as a side. My wife also neglected to ask for white meat when ordering and when dark meat was served, asked if we could switch to white- no problem. At the end of the meal we ended up taking some salad and chicken home- dark meat was just going to get tossed so server suggested I take it. Food was well cooked. The rib portion was good- 2 ribs with plenty of meat. The meat came right off the ribs- so good. The fried chicken was not over-cooked and had a nice crispy skin taste. The Mac & Cheese had a great barbeque flavor- delicious. It was a great experience and we will be back. read more

I stopped in after work to place an to go order. The young lady at the register was full of attitude. Not sure who or what pissed her off that day. But I didn't care I just wanted to place my order. I ordered the catfish strips which I love to get when I do come to Famous Dave's with a side of greens and mac and cheese. I was disappointed with the service and my food except for the greens. The greens were so delicious and well-seasoned. The catfish strips tasted just like they came straight out of the sea. Too fishy and unpleasant to eat. The mac and cheese were also nasty. Skip this location. Wasted my time and money. read more

Eh, Never been so I thought I would give it a try. Place clean. Not many servers. Food just okay. 3 BBQ sauces to choose from. They were just okay. I was shocked that plain ice tea $.50 more than pop. So I got water only. Server coughed in her hand and kept working. You decide... read more

THIEFS!! Be careful of leaving something on the table. They will steal it. My husband left his AirPods on the table. We came back 10 mins later and they told him they were "gone" and would call if they found them. I went back in and said I wasn't leaving till someone produced it. And what do you know...magically they appeared! The same manager who told my husband 2 mins before they didn't have it and said to me she didn't check the lost drawer the first time which is where she found it. Which was a lie cause she told my husband she did check the lost drawer when he came in 2 mins before and it wasn't there. Clearly one of the staff was trying to steal it and knew I was on to their game. Disgusting! read more

Stopped in for dinner before heading to a movie at the nearby Marcus Theater. The place was clean, well lit, and the sweet aroma of smoked meats filled the air. Our server was helpful, polite and attentive. The food came quickly and without much delay. Ordered the 4 bone St. Louis rib dinner with two sides: collard green and baked beans. The plate also came with cornbread. It's been a long time since I've been to Famous Dave's, and I've got to say...it was excellent. The ribs were perfectly smoked, tender, and delicious. The baked beans had just the right amount of sweetness and the collards were full of flavor and tasty! The cornbread was on the sweet side, which was to my liking. I will need to get back again soon. This was solid, delicious, barbecue. read more

Eddie, the manager, is a super friendly guy. He gave us some great tips on making the best fried chicken. The service was great, and the team was super friendly! Cool atmosphere and great food. 10/10 recommend. read more

I saw your response to my review. Will you say first come first service standard in the industry. No it is not! Go in by your lab check a party of 10 comes in and then a part of your two comes in. The party of two orders orders and they have to wait till the party of 10 gets everything they ordered cuz they were there first? No you are wrong! I used to be a cook I know how it goes you could cook multiple orders. If you have an order of five and an order of one comes in you can still cut the order of five and get the order for the one out in a good amount of time. I will not recommend you to anybody I will recommend Sweet baby Ray's read more

My husband and I used to love Famous Dave's. What happened? I don't know but the food is sub_par at best. The mash potatoes is so gummy and garlicky I couldn't stand it. The ribs were so overcooked there wasn't any meat left on the bone. We ordered the family feast, I ended up throwing it in the trash (total waste of my hard earned $) and gave the chicken to my dogs. TERRIBLE!! read more

(NOTE: Review is for the Baker's Square Pies that they 'supposedly' carry now). Went here on Memorial Day - May 29, 2023 to buy a Baker's Square Pie, which they are said to carry now that most of the Baker's Square locations have shut down. Long story short, something is different about the pies - we have bought Baker's Square pies for literally decades, and despite the same box and optics, something was off. - The pies were about $2-$3 more than what they normally were at an actual Baker's Square, with a very minimal selection. Minor issue, though. Yah yah inflation, we get it. - The pie had a "different taste" - as if it was either already 5-6 days old in the fridge, or, maybe generic ingredients are now being used. Perhaps because of the holiday it may not have been made fresh (that day), but even the traditional Baker's Square pies that are a day or two old in your fridge did NOT taste like this. Even the texture of the crust seemed different, the apples and sauce seemed different or not as moist. Be weary. Something is different. Unless we just happened to get a bad pie, you may not be getting the old traditional Baker's Square Pies here as advertised. read more

I order a famous feast for my family. They forgot the macaroni and our feast was cold. The ribs tasted like they were old, they were dry and hard. I usually never complain about my food there but this time it was downright not good at all. My family was so disappointed. read more

Came on Memorial Day for a BBQ Craving Upon walking in there was a long line of people waiting to pick up their to-go area. Too much crowding for my comfort. I can tell they are going through a remodeling phase, as half the restaurant looked like it was stripped and they had a big tent outside. Luckily after speaking to the hostess we were able to get seated within 5 minutes. Ordered the BBQ chicken and Beef Brisket Food came out hot and quick. Everything was tasty and definitely filled my void of my bbq craving One complaint I had was asking for the check and waiting 30 minutes to pay. Other than that definitely changed my expectation upon walking in. Cant wait to see how the restaurant will look when its finished. read more

Came on a Sunday night after the movies not to crowded. We got the St. Louis ribs it came with 2 sides with Mac and cheese and sweet corn 1. Ribs: it was okay not as flavorful as we were expecting 2. Mac and cheese: they add jalapeños to it which I think made it better the combo with traditional bbq wings, bbq chicken, broccoli, coleslaw 1. Wings: were good 2. Bbq chicken was pretty bland didn't taste any bbq flavor Overall food was okay, server was pretty good but nothing too special with the food we probably will not come back again unless it was for a quick bite. read more

We haven't been to Famous Dave's in years. Probably before Yelp existed! Based on the food and service at our meal today, we'll be returning much more often. We arrived at approximately 4:15pm on a Saturday afternoon. We were happy to learn that their lunch menu is available until 5:00pm, even on Saturdays. We ordered the Chopped Chicken salad, Famous Dave's Cheeseburger and Famous Dave's Cheeseburger with Bacon. Everything tasted really good. Our server checked back in with us about 3 times. A five star rating from me for good food and good service. read more

The Famous Dave's (in Addison,IL) - I walked in with my party of 8 and no one was there to attend to us. We waited patiently for a good five minutes. Because I could not find anyone coming to the front I figured I need to find someone. I went to the bar, no one was there. I walked around the entire restaurant and found no one to attend to us. I realized when waiting in the lobby how greasy and grimy the foyer/entryway was. My group consisted of my kids and hubbs. We decided to walk right back out. While walking out a waitress came up and asked us how she can help us. I let her know we were waiting for some time and could not find anyone around. I want to formally say my message across was not rude it was just so she could know in case another encounters the same thing. Well, we didn't receive an apology but she was taken back because no one knew we were there. As she went to set a table we politely left. My littles even told me, "Mom, the place had my stomach turning". I'm writing this not as someone who never been to a Famous Dave's. We are fans and love the one in Wisconsin Dells. We were thoroughly disappointed going into this specific location in Addison, IL. read more

Bad, Fatty and Tough BBQ Baby Back Ribs. Had a couple of bites and had to through out, waste of money.

They sent me an email stating that their system canceled my Memorial Day order 15 minutes before pickup time. I had family over waiting to eat. I called the store and spoke to a young lady that refused to give me her name. I asked to speak to the manager and i was told that the manager was too busy to talk to me! Very unhappy with service and would love to get a call back from the corporate office!!! read more

Wow! Random Uber Eats night turned out to be one of the very best BBQ spots I've tried in quite a long time. The texas brisket was tender and full of flavor as was the baked chicken thigh. The side slaw was also tasty. Even the broccoli was on point. The food also arrived intact, as in it was apparent the to-go boxes were prepared with care. Not always the case in my vast delivery experience. I'll def be ordering from this Famous Dave's location (Addison) again soon! read more
