    What Famous Daves calls burnt ends

    One of the worst dining experiences food wise that I have had in a long long time. Burnt Ends are not fatty brisket with BBQ sauce on it. When I told them these were not acceptable, they said they would bring me new ones. 2nd try fatty brisket with burnt BBQ sauce. You do know that making burnt ends happens in the smoker where the fatty part turns crispy and burnt. You did injustice to that animal that you cooked up.

    Service was exceptional. Ambiance was fun. Pulled pork was very tasty with lots of choices for sauces. Was not a fan of the ribs. Chicken was super moist. Sides were all tasty.

    Brisket, ribs, Wibur's beans, cornbread muffin, & coleslaw.

    What's Famous Dave,s? Oh it's a bbq place. What's Wilbur beans? Did you say grandpa's beans? Wait...you mean you haven't been to Famous Dave's? OMG...What seasonings did you use on the smoked pork chops that are on the bbq grill? Duh...it's Famous Dave's seasoning! They smell so good the neighbors are going to be jealous (lucky for us they weren't home)! I have to say I thought the brisket was going to be take a bite and pull,., nope! The brisket was like butter soft, smoked perfectly and very tasty. The Wilbur beans are the best beans I've ever had with chunks of meat & sauce not too sweet,..just right (maybe they should be called Goldilocks beans cause they were just right). The ribs were delicious too & the cornbread wasn't crumbly & the honey was real honey (not some fake corn syrup crap). Going to have to order some food to go home with me & Purchase some seasonings for my bbq grilling at home. Not to shabby for a first timer.

    Quick and always tasty. I am not from the Sioux Falls area, but I am familiar with the chain. Always a reliable choice.

    A mecca for Single-Barrel Bourbon and all things wood-fired and smoked! My wife and I stopped in…read morefor lunch today. One look at the menu was an epiphany... a rare, if not the only, time I could not find a single item I didn't want to order. The ambience is rustic central plains frontier. The food is expertly prepared and the wood-fired and house-smoked menu items were the highlight. HIGHLY recommend! (BTW, I had the smoked biscuit with a side of bourbon glazed Brussel Sprouts..Mmmm)

    March 2026 Sioux…read moreFalls, South Dakota This place has a beautiful ambience. You enter and there is a warm and welcoming fireplace to the right when you enter. Straight ahead by a large open bar, you can see the meat on the rotisserie. Restaurant is large and cozy. Dark woods, modern lighting, many booths with ample seating. Floors are concrete and many nature pictures line the walls. This place has everything from handheld sandwiches to salmon and rotisserie chicken, a broad selection of appetizers and soups and salad salads. I ordered a Guinness draft and it came in a very large glass. Many tap beers to choose from. We ordered the woodfired chicken wings, a rotisserie chicken, which is accompanied with mashed potatoes and cornbread, and my husband also ordered a cup of corn chowder. The chicken wings I thought were delicious. The flavor is smoky and pepper. Not your traditional wing, but it includes the drumstick and the wing. You get six in total. It comes with blue cheese and ranch. My husband did not care for the wings. He thought they had too much of a pepper taste. My only concern was they were not served hot. They were barely warm when they got to my table. The blue cheese dressing was basically ranch dressing with a few dry blue cheese crumbles mixed in. Not a good flavor. The corn chowder was very mushy. It had the texture of baby food. He did not enjoy it. It also was served warm and not hot. Rotisserie chicken comes out with a thigh and drumstick of dark meat and white meat. However, the chicken is very dry. Taste like rotisserie chicken should taste But nothing special. The mashed potatoes are not creamy. But clumpy. They are red skin and I love when the skin is left on the potatoes. However, they taste like a baked Redskin potato with no salt, pepper, or butter. Flavorless. The cornbread has good flavor. But again, try. There is no butter to accompany it. Might taste good with some honey or butter on the side. I love the look and coziness of the restaurant. I wanted it to be fantastic. I was extremely disappointed in the food. I tried to make it work, but with the cold food and the lack of flavor, it was a big miss. When you take a bite of rotisserie chicken, and then you need to take a drink before taking your next bite of food, you know it is dry. When in Rome do as the Romans do. When in Sioux Falls Falls do not ROAM to this restaurant. I would not come back to this restaurant. I would give it 2 stars for the food. However, Darla was our waitress and she was very kind and attentive. She gets a five star rating. But the good service does not balance out the awful food.
