    Jalapeño sausage with Mac and cheese and cornbread
    Steve H.

    On our way to Raleigh we decided to try this place. Typical bbq set up inside and I decided on a one meat plate and one side which was jalapeño sausage with Mac and cheese and cornbread. The sausage was quite spiced and the mace and cheese was creamy and a bit spicy as well. The cornbread was sweet which I like

    Located is perfectly tucked in the high way. Loved that we stopped an hour before closed and were able to be seated quickly. Service was prompt, food was plenty and left overs were even better the next day. Corn bread and banana pudding a must. My daughter loved the decor and asked if we're having a picnic at a barn. I would love to come back and have a ho-down or just good old karaoke it felt that inviting!

    Banana Pudding
    Chmere M.

    I use to love famous daves!! I went recently went with family and while it was good it def was not the same and im not sure why. The brisket was just ok and the catfish was good. I didnt like the Mac and cheese and my husband wasnt crazy about the burned tips. My son loves his ribs. The banana pudding was rich and portion was huge!! The service was good, we had a sweet waitress who was very helpful. The restaurant looks the same, definitely give a southern bbq vibe. Spacious restaurant with to sides.

    Pick 3 Combo
    Cynthia A.

    Ordered the 3 meat combo for delivery on Uber eats. This was my first time having Famous Dave's and it was delicious! Very well seasoned. Uber eats was also having a 40% promotion which made the cost of the meal so affordable! I would order 2 platters if you're looking to share with someone else.

    Texas Beef Brisket Sandwich, Corn Bread Muffins, garlic red skin mashed potatoes
    Mike H.

    Food was surprisingly decent for a chain restaurant. The full rack of baby back ribs ($30) was tender, meaty, and a generous portion. They came off the bone clean and were not very fatty. The fries were crinkle cut potato wedges. Healthier and good, but not my style. The corn muffin was very good. The Texas brisket sandwich ($15 normally) was ok but tasted a little fake and low quality. The garlic red-skinned mashed potatoes were just ok. Beer was reasonably priced ($4.50 Bud Light and $6.25 Dos Equis). Service was incredibly kind and accommodating. They sang my dad a birthday song and gave us a vanilla ice cream sundae on the house. While the food is good, not great, the service is really impressive.

    Brisket, jalapeño cheddar sausage, sweet corn and red mashed potatoes.
    Luis R.

    Everything on my plate was great. The brisket was melt in your mouth tender, the sausage had a little kick but not too spicy. The corn and mashed was great as well. I can't wait to try everything on the menu. My food was ready right on time. I came back because I love it so much the other day. The guy behind the counter let me know that there is a spicy bbq sauce that is not on the menu. For those that love heat, ask for the wilburs revenge sauce.

    Feast For 2
    Kristen A.

    Great spot if you're craving meat. The Feast for 2 is a perfect choice because it comes with 3 meat options and 2 sides, and the catfish is underrated! The brisket and pork on the bread are also pretty good.

    LaTisha P.

    I love famous Dave's. Meat is usually great. Sides are on point. I rarely have issues. Once in a blue moon they miss an item but it's not on every occasion. Today though, my sides came in the smallest containers . This is a first. Not going to stop me from coming back but I hope it's just a one time thing.

    I ordered the south side rib tips combo and an order of south side rib tips on 9/19/2024. When I received my ordered that was delivered to me it was horrible. I wouldn't have served this to a dog. Stop selling old dried out food

My old phone was taking blurry pics from far away so I wasn't able to capture it, but think very cozy, fireplace with candles glowing from within, and little alcoves in the wall for candle clusters. It was perfectly elevated while still being casual and approachable. When we came there was a Mac and cheese special with pulled bbq pork on top. I knew we had to get that because it is right up my husbands alley. It did not disappoint, my husband was tempted to order some to take home! The pasta was super creamy and cheesy, mixed with the roasted pulled smoky bbq pork on top, it was the ultimate comfort food for the cold rainy day we were having. For my meal I got the Grilled Cheese which is more of an elevated "grown up" grilled cheese. It had cheese, thin apple slices, fig jam and bacon. The flavors were great, I only wish there was a little more cheese or a little less jam to balance the sweet and savory a little more, because for me it was a touch too sweet. The sourdough it was made with was delicious and fresh, I also appreciate that they don't seem to soak their grilled cheese in oil like a lot of places do (butter or nothing, please!!) My husband ordered the burger which he really enjoyed but nothing was going to top the pulled pork Mac and cheese for him. They should consider adding it to the regular menu! He originally wanted the duck sandwich but it was unavailable on this day. All in all it was a cozy afternoon together. Our waitress was very friendly and made sure to check on us without ever being too overbearing.

The menu features lots of comfort foods. The king and duchess cuts are popular orders with my carnivorous family members, while I tend toward their simpler burgers. Either way, the food is dependably good and gets to the table faster than we'd expect. The main crowning glory of all Charlie Brown's, though, is the unlimited salad bar. It can be tacked onto any entree for a hefty charge, but we always get it because it's a fantastic way to start the meal. Since COVID, it seems that all open salad bars have moved behind sneeze guards, and instead of getting everything yourself, you now have to direct a server to retrieve your salad choices for you. On occasion, this might mean your salad might not turn out precisely the way you would've wanted (like the most recent time, when a server drowned my salad in a deluge of Thousand Island dressing) , but the variety of this salad bar can't be understated. Not only do they have all your usual spread of greens and toppings, but there are chopped proteins, egg/tuna/pasta salads, breads, and spreads. This particular Charlie Brown's has become one of my family's go-to spots for celebrations. The large dining space regularly accommodates our sizable party without any wait, and the service is always spot-on. For those with little ones, know that the kids in our family also love coming here. The drawable placemats and free crayons keep them busy until their choice from the crowd-pleasing kids' menu (which includes a free bowl of ice cream) arrives.

Their…read morecuisine is predominantly made up of a combination of Spanish, indigenous Taíno, and African influences, the first and last occurring over the last five centuries. While Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba share similar colonial pasts, different historical trajectories have resulted in the distinctions in national cuisine. Common gastronomies of the Caribbean are obviously fish and seafood in general, and also coconut. But they also love pork, rice, beans, plantains, and spices such as cumin and oregano, and herbs like cilantro. Rooted in the owner's Puerto Rican and Cuban family culinary journey, I decided to pay a visit to their newest location, Terrill Road Rotisserie in Plainfield, for lunch. Upon arrival with the music playing in a cozy, casual, energetic vibe at this family-owned/operated establishment, I was greeted by Brandon and had the whole place to myself for a moment, but it does get crowded. Similar to the Linden facility, their menu consisted of the fusion of Latin flavors featured on 2 kiosks with pictures of every dish so one knows what one's getting for takeout or dine-in. Their menu consists a variety of combos, rotisserie bowls, and sides. I decided on a Roast Pork Bowl with arroz con gandules, sweet plantains, coleslaw, street corn salad, and asparagus. The meal was well seasoned, perfectly cooked, and deliciously tasty. The kitchen staff puts their heart and soul into every dish. Portions were healthy for two meals. The price was reasonable in that it won't break one's wallet. The owners, Brian and Mariela, cook with fire, flavor, and love. I can recommend this place.
