$10 Lunch promotion: "10 Under $10". Dave's Sassy Salad served with warm BBQ Brisket and a cornbread muffin. Chopped salad (green lettuce, carrot shreds, and red cabbage), diced tomatoes, shredded cheddar, and real bacon pieces, sauced up with a bbq/honey dressing. Soooo good! Decent portion. The server was polite, soft-spoken, and helpful with the lunch decision. Food was served pretty quickly, even during the 1 p.m. lunch rush. read more

I'm sorry to say this is not my favorite BBQ spot in town. My husband and I came in for lunch, and, like most Famous Dave's locations, it has a cute Western feel. We sat in a booth in the bar area. Our first mistake may have been skipping the $35 Feast for 2-sday special and ordering from the lunch menu instead. My husband chose the Texas beef brisket sandwich with BBQ chips, and I ordered the two meat combo with pulled pork, burnt ends, and coleslaw. There was only one server in the bar area, so it took a while for our food to arrive, but it did come out hot. As for the food, the pulled pork was tasty but didn't really have that smoked flavor. It reminded me more of something I could make in a slow cooker. The burnt ends were disappointing. I'm used to them being caramelized with a bit of a crust, but these were soft and even a little mushy. The coleslaw was good. My husband felt the same about his brisket. It lacked smokiness and was a bit too soft. The chips were tasty, but didn't have much BBQ seasoning. Although Famous Dave's is close to our house, we're willing to drive a little farther for better BBQ. read more

We didn't make it to the Reno Rib Fest this year but that's okay we can still get the best ribs at Dave's! We love this restaurant. The ribs are meaty and juicy-seasoned and cooked beautifully, the Cole slaw crispy and fresh (hate old coleslaw that gets wilted and tastes like fridge leftovers!) and the bbq beans are always delicious! They already have Oktoberfest from Sam Adams on draft and Sundays are all day Happy Hour. Service is always great and on this last visit our server Ben was wonderful-attentive, professional and friendly. This restaurant is a Reno treasure! read more

Came in for Saturday happy hour and had a great experience! We tried a mix of happy hour items and burgers, and everything was delicious--especially the BBQ sauce on the rib tips and burger. The atmosphere was quiet for a Saturday evening, but our server was super attentive. Excited to come back and try more of the menu and drinks read more

The only great thing about Famous Dave's are the employees! The food is overrated and extremely expensive. It tasted plain and nothing special. The portions were very small for the high price, and the plate was sloppy. Typical chain restaurant! read more

HAD TO UPDATE: I can't believe I shared all of that without shouting out Baylee! She was an EPIC server who brought so much to our meal! She knows her stuff and helped us order right, was present throughout our meal, proved incredibly thoughtful and anticipated our needs (solo parent feeding two kiddos), interacted with the kids and brought a smile to their faces, and was just so friendly and congenial. If every server was like her, every meal would be an absolute pleasure. TLDR: Get in on Tuesdays for the most epic deal in town and/or for happy hour any day of the week for even more great food and drink deals! I double dog dare you to find better deals in town than you'll find here at Famous Dave's! Now I'm not even remotely kidding because between their happy hour and their Tuesday feast for two deal you could feed a real crowd a lot of food for a mighty tiny price and love every minute of it. Let's start with happy hour. It runs daily yes daily meaning every day of the week and on weekdays it goes until six but on weekends, they run it all day long! The menu has a handful of drink deals and a whole host of food offerings that are all six bucks. Yes six dollars gets you What for most would be a full meal at Famous Dave's happy hour. Let that sink in while you ask yourself, why you haven't been here yet or haven't been recently. If that's not good enough, go on a Tuesday or call in an order on a Tuesday for takeout but make sure you get the famous feast for two because on Tuesday it's only $35. The feast includes like half a chicken, half a rack of ribs, barbecue beans, coleslaw, french fries corn, and cornbread muffins plus your choice of pulled pork or brisket And it served in a massive trashcan lid! The menu says it serves 2 to 3 but I'm here to tell you that it could feed a family of four for hungry adult adults not hungry, adult adults, and in the variation in between. I have experienced this twice and both times I left with close to half the food after enjoying it with my family. Not only is it a very fair price for enough food to feed that kind of a group but the quality is incredible. We're talking competition level barbecue ribs juicy smoked chicken And tender sliced brisket. Don't even get me started on those baked beans because they are serious business and I love the french fries they serve too because they have these ridges that just pick up all the sauce. Speaking of sauce, devil spit is legit and I also really enjoyed the Rich and sassy. So what are you waiting for? Make a barbecue B line for Famous Dave's! read more

Reno Famous Dave's...My Wallet's Favorite Restaurant Listen... if you're in Reno and NOT hitting Famous Dave's happy hour, I don't know what to tell you. Maybe you like overpaying elsewhere? Because these prices got me feeling like I'm scamming them (legally). The ambience is chill...BBQ vibes, comfy booths, and the kind of lighting that makes everyone look good, even after a long day. Now let's talk prices, because THAT'S why I keep showing up like it's my second home: Happy Hours 3-6 pm M-F Weekends: all day! Tip:ask to sit at bar area * Happy Hour Fries: $6 (and they taste like they should be $12) * Rib Tips: $6 (my toxic trait is thinking I can stop at one order... I can't) * Monday Burgers: $4.50 build-your-own -- yes, FOUR dollars and fifty cents * Wednesday Smokin' Sandwiches: $6 * Thursday All-You-Can-Eat Rib Tips: $15 * Weekends: Happy hour all day -- because God is good The food is consistently fire. My favorite go to's: The rib tips? Tender, never dry perfectly smoked and seasoned. The fries? the right amount of chilli topped with cheesy goodness. All washed down with a 6 dollar ice cold tall blonde. (They have a large selection of beer and wine for happy hour) The service is always friendly, fast, and not once have they judged me for ordering rib tips like I haven't eaten in days. If you want good food, good prices, and a good laugh at how cheap your bill is, this is the spot. Reno Famous Dave's has me in a chokehold, willingly. read more

I tried famous Dave's for the first time and I got the Family deal. It is advertised for $35. But in Reno, it was like 45. Why the difference I have no idea. But it was plenty of food. I'm looking forward to trying their happy hour actually. We had food for days on that family deal. Everything tasted pretty good. read more

Well famous dave's lack of patrons should have given me a clue about the restaurant. I was so looking forward to this establishment being a great experience, fooled me. I ordered the happy hour burger, medium rare and the brisket with dirty and chili for the sides. When I looked at the "medium rare" burger, my first words were, what the hell, my friend also said the same. It was a smash burger, by experience any hamburger patty utilizing less than a minimum of eight ounces or less can only produce a burger that's overcooked. Well the burger was more overcooked than the medium rare I ordered. The brisket was too overcooked as well and the thin slices served didn't help with the brisket being too dry. Well so much for my excitement of trying this establishment but no thanks. read more

We went when it wasn't that busy we received it right away. The staff was very friendly and got us waters and took our order pretty fast. This was my first time here and everything was pretty delicious. The greens were a little bit different than I'm used to so I really didn't eat the whole thing but the corn muffin was really good and my chicken was not dry. My husband's ribs were really good. I would try it again. Definitely some new items. read more

What's to say? Is it the best bbq in town? No. But they're good at what they do without costing too much money. Went there today and got the feast for two. Worth it. Includes a good amount of different meats they have like ribs and chicken and brisket and two sides. Was quite a good amount of food and delicious! The sauces are great as well! Never a bad experience coming here for some quick bbq. Service is always great as well! Perfect place for a quick bbq bite with a group as there's plenty of seating and even a bar. Definitely recommend. read more

Famous Dave's BBQ food is exceptional. Ribs tender, sauce well-balanced, brisket near perfection. Cleanliness of dining area is acceptable, tables cleaned promptly though floors slightly sticky. Bathrooms disappointing, cleanliness subpar. Service is attentive and servers were knowledge of menu to help toy decide what's best to eat and drink. Would I return? Likely. read more

Love how it was quiet when we went. They also had happy hour all day. So we got to try an appetizer with our meal. We both got the two platter meal and it was delicious. I dont like that they have Kraft Mac n cheese. Our kiddos like fresh made one. So we ordered the Dave's Mac n cheese. They liked that, but also ate more of the fries than anything. I got the rib tips and the catfish. Catfish sauce was good, but the brisket was way better. I'm going tonorder that next time. That or the family meal. It comes with so much. It would be good as the kiddos love the corn bread. Our server was super sweet to us amd checked in often. Very attentive staff I would definitely rate the service a 10 and of 10. read more

The catfish Omg Granted, catfish is not for everyone. But this, this was great! Perfect batter, perfect seasoning, crispy outer, fluffy, tender moist meat on the inside. Not a bone in one of them. Paired with the dirty rice side and a corn bread muffin, this was a meal I haven't had since I left Arkansa over 20 years ago. The catfish was great! The rest of our party was generally pleased. The fried potato wedges were really done nicely, and cold mashed potatoes were excellent. Oddly, must have been an off night, the brisket was chewy than gas station jerky. That's anomalous for this restaurant though, this was the second time I've been here, and it wasn't like that last time. I like the simple clean decor. Not gaudy, not overly done, clean and neat. The service is generally good! Oddly, each time we had a male server, there is a curt attitude to them. The female staff were great though. Polite, attentive and willing to help. One server assisted excellently with a language barrier and the menu. Thank you miss. All in all. Turning into a favorite BBQ place. Well try here one more time to see about consistency. Well worth the visit though Try the catfish read more

Delicious and Wonderful! Did a catering pick up order with Ashley. She's awesome!! Super helpful, very helpful and wonderfully courteous! She's awesome! She helped me order over $500.00 bucks of tasty tender ribs (meat was perfectly cooked, just the right amount of chewing on the rib to get all the meat off the bone) Perfectly spiced buffalo wings nice and tender and meaty! The chopped pork was juicy and had a perfect smoky flavoring. The jalapeño Cheddar sausage is so delicious! Juicy and spicy so delicious! The Mac and cheese is real cheesy goodness. The beans are yummy and filled with goodness! The Cole slaw was perfect slightly sweet and crunchy The corn bread muffins are delicious and fluffy Plus chaffing dishes and frames are perfect! Great place to have catering done! I'll definitely be back soon! read more

Our company of nine stopped by Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que in Reno and was immediately impressed by how fast the food came out - lightning quick! The atmosphere was very cool with an authentic BBQ vibe. Personally - loved the wall decor and the spacious layout with a variety of diff seating styles that made the place feel comfortable and welcoming. Service was another highlight - staff were attentive, friendly, and made the visit pleasant overall. As for the BBQ itself, it was fine but didn't quite stand out, especially given how fast it arrived. It felt like there's still room for improvement in terms of flavor and overall impact. Although the variety and price range should covers it all. That said, the whole group enjoyed the experience enough to come back the next time we all in Reno. Solid spot with great potential. read more

We had a family reunion and had Dave's cater it. We had smoked chicken, jalapeno sausage, brisket, mac and cheese, garden salad and beans. They were on time and set everything up for us.

GREAT find in Reno!! Stopped by and were thrilled to be seated by manager Ken B and had Presley as our wait staff. We had the ribs and chicken with sides of mac n cheese, cole slaw and baked beans. WOW. ALL fresh and sooo tasty. The ribs were meaty, tender and well smoked. The chicken was amazing and meaty also! Even the corn muffin was warm! NOTHING was missed!!! Presley and Ken checked back frequently to make sure that we were happy. WE WERE! Best BBQ that we have had in a LONG time. Fun place to visit and enjoy a tasty dinner. We even bought gift cards for our Reno friends! read more

This was our first time to Famous Dave's. We got the feast for 2. There was 3 of us and it was plenty of food. Ribs, brisket and chicken were all exceptional . Sides included corn on the cob, corn muffins, fries, cole slaw and bean. All were very good. Our server Karen was amazing. Friendly and very helpful. We had bread pudding for dessert it was the perfect way to finish off such a good meal. read more

Food was alright. Ribs were tough and spicy even with no sauce. Pulled pork was excellent. Brisket was not my favorite. Ordered takeout on father's day, they were insanely busy (to be expected, especially on father's day). Had a few things missing from my order so that was disappointing. The staff working the take out counter were very nice and helpful, I'd give them 4 stars. Food quality is the reason for the 3 star rating. Don't love spending money for food we can do better at home. read more

If you decide to go here, the hard part is deciding what to order! They have such a very robust menu and you can't go wrong. Their portions are just right.

It was great our server "Famous Ben" was very attentive and friendly. I needed more bbq sauce and he refilled it right away!

Horrendous experience. I swear the servers wanted us to leave. I've never been around such off-putting people. Server couldn't believe we wanted to order drinks, awkwardly read off their cocktail menu, my partner and I swear we were getting pranked by her behavior. Young Latina woman who was much more interested in flirting with her manager. Young girl with orange hair was sweet but also off putting and confused about why we came to eat there. Are you guys racist? Two brown ppl come in and that's how they get treated. Famous for being a whack ass bbq restaurant. read more

I haven't been to Reno in years. I felt like some BBQ so this is the place. I have been to a location back East and it was good. This place didn't disappoint. It was lunch time. I waited up front and no one came to greet me. I walked into the dinning room and a server saw me and helped me out. I was seated right then. It's a pretty big dinning area. There were a few tables of customers. My waitress was really bubbly and nice. I asked what meats were the best and she said the burnt ends was her favorite, I got that and the pork for my lunch combo meal. I saw that when I checked in you got a free iced tea or soda. I showed it to her but she had to take a picture and show it to her manager. She came back with a receipt that showed the tea taken off. She could of just told me hahah. The burnt ends were great. I think the pork was a little over cooked but they smothered it in sauce so hard to tell. The flavor was great. I had their potato salad and that was the bomb. Made in house. I liked the meal. I wish they had one of these back in Sac. read more
