    Normally this is my go to place for bbq but today must have been their off day. I walked in and stood waiting for a period of time and did not receive assistance. I finally flagged someone down asking if there is anyone to seat someone. I was told they don't have host and be patient. I told her I'm being patient and was just asking. Also I was taken aback because she had no idea how long I've been waiting and to assume I'm being impatient. Didn't sit right with me. So I left.

    I ended going back to this place several times since my last review since it's very close to where I work and let me tell you, my mind has changed. Their service was still great but their food has improved tremendously. Maybe I just got unlucky the first time but I really have started enjoying going to famous Dave's on my lunch breaks. Their lunch prices are fair and they always give special coupons and deals which keeps me coming back!

    picture for before and picture for after , i think you can understand from the pictures , the only thing good there is the pepsi , waiting for 45 min to get that food and then just 5 min and we left , customer service was -45 , if you have an extra 45 min in your life and you want to waste it best plan is famous davis .

    Great service Teano Love the corn bread if I lived closer this would be a this would be my first choice

    The food and the service was amazing, our waitress was extremely friendly and made our visit very welcoming. I would definitely recommend.

    Amazingly disappointing! Let me start by acknowledging the staff. They were awesome, attentive, and very pleasant. Zero complaints about the service or the people. However the food was exceptionably bad. The brisket was dry like chalk and the wedge fries were entirely forgettable. The salad dressing was runny, almost like the Blue Cheese was watered down. The Roast chicken was good, moist, and had some flavor. The corn bread should be squares cut from a pan and fresh cooked, instead tasted like a store bought corn muffin with a honey glaze spread on top. I was overall disappointed by a large margin. The restaurant sits on far too large a foot print (square space) for the business I saw there. For proof to my point, you need only look at the sad bar space that had less back stock of spirits and liquor than my own home cabinet. I sincerely doubt that the large bar area ever sees a crowd commensurate with its size. Any bar where the bartenders can lock the register and disappear for 10 minutes at a time, does not have the business it needs on a Saturday afternoon during football season. One of the rare 1 star ratings, I've ever dropped.

    The location is easy to get to. Plenty of parking and the inside of the restaurant was neat and tidy. Our server was super nice and made sure our waters were full. I ordered "burnt ends" from the menu. There is an upcharge for this item. I have had burnt ends in the past from other barbeque places and understand why there would be an upcharge. However, what came to the table was not burnt ends. It was diced up meat with a very dark sauce for the "burnt" look. This was disappointing. We were excited for the corn bread having heard how delicious it was. It came to the table and crumbled in our hands when we tried to eat it. Their pickles are great!

I got an iced latte and had to pay $2 extra for milk and syrup - again ridiculous. I added tomatoes and was charged another $2. My bill ended up being $36 with tip for a quick breakfast stop for a coffee and a crepe. I would love to come back as my crepe was delicious but this meal cost me more than going out to a sit down restaurant with a cocktail where we have a waiter.

My wife and I stopped into Steuben's to have a snack (donut holes) and a couple of rounds of cocktails. We used the Dining Out Passbook for BOGO cocktails with purchase of food. Our bartender (who was perfectly friendly and helpful) said he needed his manager to get the free cocktail. To be clear, we had literally no interaction with this woman at any point. So it's not like we did something to piss her off. When she arrived at the POS station - behind the bar about six feet from where we were sitting - she proceeded to complain about the "a-holes" (edited for language) using the Passbook and what a bunch of a-holes those customers were (not knowing we were in earshot). And when the bartender - who knew who we were and that we could hear everything - said in a hushed tone "No, they were nice" she proceeded to tell him that she didn't care and that they're just a-holes. I've never been treated so shoddy in my life in a restaurant for no other reason than using a promotional discount that they voluntarily participated in. It's bad enough to attack your customers for using a discount. But doing it behind the bar where customers can hear you is beyond unacceptable. And doing it when the customers you're talking about are within earshot is the most offensive thing I've ever expereinced at a restaurant. You may go to Steuben's and have a nice meal, but just be aware that behind the bar, they're talking about what an a-hole you are.

The service and ambiance were perfectly fine, but overall, the experience was very average given all the hype. I'm in no rush to return. Update: The owner's response explains the sourcing and pricing, but doesn't really address the substance of my review. These claims don't change the fact that an $18 gluten-free crust before toppings, a very small kids' pizza, and essentially no options that were both gluten-free and vegan made for a disappointing experience. Likewise, I didn't claim the salmon *was* canned, I said my husband thought it tasted canned. It certainly was flaked and looked like it came straight out of a can. I'm glad the restaurant supports local producers, but unfortunately that still doesn't make this particular dining experience any better for us.
