Food was terrible- brisket was hard and the texture of spam. Tacos was ok and service was ok- nothing fabulous. We still tip them because we know people work hard and you can not pinpoint whose fault. I would never go again and don't recommend it to anyone. It was a large restaurant with a lot of seating. The day before the restaurant was literally empty and they would not take our party of 8 as they said they had 2 large parties coming in soon. So today just me and my hubby decided to try it without the reset of the family and we should have taken the sign from the day before. We also asked to speak to a manager and no one came. read more

Our group enjoyed the three meat combination meal - chopped pork, oven roasted chicken and barbecue rib tips with creamy coleslaw, Wilbur's beans and cornbread muffins. They were great at accommodating special dietary needs. Great service and pleasant environment. Music in the background and sports on the tv screens. read more

I ordered my favorite drink, a lemon drop. I got a glass of what appeared to be lemon juice. White precipitate on the bottom like bottled juice, no simple syrup, no alcohol, no ice. I asked them to remake it. The second one was lemon juice shaken over ice. Still horrible and undrinkable. They didn't act apologetic at all. Didn't offer to take the drink off the bill either. read more

We come here all the time for happy hour. When we get Grecia we get ignored it takes about 15 minutes to get a drink. She should be professional but she goes to every table and leaves us last. She cashes out ppl serves others that get there after us we completely hate her service. I wish staff would put her in check. She sucks but everyone gets good service if she knows them. read more

This is expensive arbys. Same flavor, same meat quality, same mechanically cooked brisket. Service was fine and the location, but what good is ambiance if you serve meat meant for my labrador. Never again. read more

$2 rib Thursday was awesome way to rib away! 10 of those and a side of slaw and I'm FEEDING! Server was great and gave us free chips. As always, Dave is awesome! read more

This place likes to discriminate against families. Deals are only available in the bar area, but families cannot sit in that area. If you want to eat the same food with your family, you're going to be charged basically double the price. They won't even let you order it yourself in the bar and walk over to eat with your family. read more

The main reason we go is for the staff, always greet us with a smile, and a chat, but the wings help too. Ariana, Ricky, Carley, and all the rest take great care of us all the time. Keep up the great work. read more

Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que - Best wings in town and the best friendly service... - Barbeque Near Me - Union Gap, Washington

I love coming to this restaurant. Great food, smashed every bite! Thank you Destiny for the excellent service!

AVOID. Brown slime brisket ? I knew it would be bad but this bad? Identical consistency to the infamous McDonald's pink slime chicken nuggets.. I said "this isn't brisket", they replied indeed "it is brisket" it's cut from a large slab of brisket, you can judge for yourself from the pictures. It was clearly processed mixed with additives and then poured into the shape of a brick. The slices were all exactly 1 1/2" x 3" with a thin edge of fat of identical with around the entire perimeter of each slice. I've never seen anything like it, i'm building a shed in my backyard, I think I'll use famous Dave's brisket bricks, it'll at least smell good. read more

Great service. Amazing food. Had the Saint Louis Babyback ribs and my friend had the Cajun chicken sandwich. So good!!

Tacos were terrible. Service was one person running their rear off. I could write that the tortillas were crunchy and inedible. The end is near I think for this place. read more

I keep coming back for the platter and chili. Best catfish and onion rings in town. Burnt ends are hit and miss but still really good.

Not 4 ribs and barely any brisket... definitely can't share looks like just my wife is having lunch read more

Let me tell you that this place was off the hook. The brisket was bomb and the ribs were killer and the chicken ruled and the coleslaw was awesome and thr cornbread was super delicious. There's not too many places like this and yes it's a chain but all the food was killer so stop by any famous and try it out I'm telling you that you will not regret it I love this place. read more

Have gone in the recent past. I know there are issues with staffing but when no tables are full don't tell a client there is a wait. Thus time got in. bartender seated us and was attentive for the entire meal. even asking if we would like drink refills. Blast from the last would recommend read more

We love Famous Dave's in Union Gap. The food is almost always outstanding, the service is usually above average, the place is large so usually has no wait seating. We belong to their loyalty program, which is worthwhile, but they also have happy hours and daily food deals in the bar. We are regulars. read more

Omg omg omg love love love this place.. first time I have ever been to a famous Dave's and I loved it. I have never had a brisket melt in my mouth and the ribs were omg delicious everything about that platter was amazing. Thank you for the amazing food. read more

Everson is good portions of the family have been doing Atkins or keto, famous Dave's has become much more frequent stop. You got a love a place where meat rains supreme! The place is set up like most chains, friendly people upfront and plenty of seating in the back. As you enter, the bar area is to the right it is separated by a partial wall. It's nice for folks to have a place to sit where the kiddos can only look in. The meat centric menu has plenty of different options ranging from pork, to beef and chicken. Our favorite thing to get is a two or three meat dinner that we can split between a couple of us. The meat portions are not huge, but they're plenty filling. The brisket is always really good, and the pulled pork rarely disappoints. The kids like it because they can get meat along with mac & cheese and small hotdogs. The broccoli here is particularly good, predominantly because they put a lot of butter on it...never something that you'll hear us complain about! A good spot for most things meat and where you can find a solid variety for a decent price. Worth a looksie! read more

My first time here with my family (3 adults, 2 toddlers & a baby) was awful. It's hard enough to take toddlers anywhere, let alone out to eat. We were feeling up to the challenge just to eat here, but were very disappointed. Once we were seated, we were completely ignored. 3 waitresses passed by our table & not one acknowledged us. We never received water or anything! We waited 20 mins in hopes that someone would come to check on us, to no avail. When we asked for & spoke to the manager, she asked if we could "wait a little longer" to let her "make it up" to us. No thanks. Won't be returning. read more

This is a regular, we went this afternoon and everything has changed. There is no bar menu do to the price change. HAPPY HOUR DAYS HAVE CHANGED. The food and price has always been a 3 that's the reason we always go for happy hour. We will be visiting alot less and this is sad. read more

I ordered the Rib Tips expecting a nice juicy and easy to eat meal as ribs are supposed to be tender right! Not here obviously something wrong as the shoe leather couldn't even be cut with a knife and fork let alone to eat it would have taken me a long time! Waitress was nice and gave the kitchen a second chance! Still nope! Wife's catfish was good! read more

My family went here on Veterans Day 2022. The restaurant had a wait and the hostess asked if we would like to sit in the bar. It was not a problem. The bartender ignored myself and the party next to us. We went to the bar to get menu's. The bartender threw the menu's at myself and the gal in the other party. I asked politely if I could have 2 more menu's. She relied, "you will have to wait". She was not busy and I was only asking for a menu, not to order. My father, a veteran, was with us and I was so disappointed that we got up and left. Unfortunately, the other party followed us. read more

I don't know why fellow yelpers are saying this place is closed. It hasn't closed since it opened. The food is good. Can be a bit pricey. However if you are a regular like me. You will learn how to eat cheap there. I was the duke the for all my visits. Now I need to start over. At least this gives me a reason to eat there even more no read more

Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que - Proof that its not closed. - Barbeque Near Me - Union Gap, Washington

Was seated and waited about 25 minutes before anyone came over and that was only after I called the restaurant and asked for service at my table. The person on the phone was a little confused at first and was friendly and said they'd send my server over. Service was scant after we were served, but I'm sure they were aware of my displeasure. It was not full or crowded so what the hell? Will never eat at the Yakima one again. *This review was for a visit that happened in December of 2015. It's been sitting in my unfinished queue for a long time. But, I've been to Yakima\Union Gap many times since then, bought a lot of stuff from the Cabela's, but never once wanted to go back to this Dave's. read more

This place used to be good but service here really gone downhill. We stopped here today and got seated right away and there wasn't hardly anybody there, we got out menu and sat and sat. Nobody even asked if we wanted anything to drink. Then a big party of people came in and were serve right away. SO WE GOT UP AND LEFT! Never go to Famous Dave's in Union Gap. FTP read more

First time there was today around 11:15 for lunch. Hostess was very friendly, as was the rest of the staff. We were even introduced to the manager when we mentioned to the hostess it was our first time in a Famous Daves. We ordered an appetiser of burnt ends, tender and delicious we devoured it quickly. We also ordered a Feast for 2 this proved to be delicious and more than the 2 of us could eat in one sitting, not that we didn't try :) If you like BBQ that is actually fall of the bone tender try this out! read more

Good Barbeque. We like "KC Masterpiece" type sauce, only 1 sauce comes close. Many sauces are vinegary or spicy in style. A bit pricey for amount of food. Uber Eats at least delivers from them. Better than Dickey's Barbecue. read more

Went to famous Dave's for a family dinner. First they were out of corn bread muffins and brisket, the floor was disgusting and our bench had food all over it. Continuing on with dinner we had a flat Pepsi and iced tea with no ice. Dinner comes and my husband has a huge chunk of plastic in his potatoe. The waitress didn't even apologize and charged is for the full meal. She was rude and had no sympathy towards the restaurants huge mistake. Very disappointed and will not be returning. read more

Love, love this place Ribs are so tender & delicious, grill chicken, blue cheese burger all three items are my favorite Love most of the ipa beers, service is always great read more

Underwhelming once again. New happy hour excludes the best options. The rib tips are super fatty so if you don't like fat and bones, stick with something else. The basket of chips that are made "in house" were made yesterday or at best during lunch (I was there for HH), but they definitely weren't fresh chips as advertised. Unfortunately, Daves BBQ is going downhill without brakes. I hope the best for this national restaurant chain. But unfortunately, it's too expensive with not great BBQ to keep my attention. The service is fine... But beware... if given the chance; the servers will definitely up charge and gouge your wallet any chance they get. Even if it means suggesting food that is more expensive, but not as good... or suggesting any kind of up charge... without telling you it will cost more. Moreover... look at your bill!!! You'll likely find something mis-priced or overpriced from the menu. And if you deal with management... believe me... they are NOT on your side. And they DON'T like comping anything. This is the second time in a row this has happened. I said I wouldn't return last time. I gave them another chance. I won't be back. read more
