    Gone here for Mother's Day to pick up a order for my mom and look at what I got. OMG!!!!! The best bbq place in Waldorf md

    I'm so disappointed in Famous Dave's, went here after work and got a 2 meat lunch entree. I've been wanted this all day when I was at work, to go here and it was disgusting to say the least. The brisket was hard, it use to be so tender when u pick it up. It break apart and the ribs, let's just say. Whoever Dave sold his business to, he need to either take it back or take his name off the business. The beans wasn't good either, all of Dave's food was very well seasoned and unless he comes back or take his business back. I won't be returning

    Food with hair on it.

    Absolutely horrible! Ordered a meal to be delivered by DoorDash. Meal arrived. Food looked great. Took up my first bite. Mouthful of hair so I spit it out. Took my second bite and again got a mouth full of hair. Spit it out started looking through all the food and all my food was full of hair. Called the manager and mentioned hair in my food. Manager said no woman is working. I didn't say a woman did it. I said hair period. Men have hair too. Absolutely disgusting.

    I visited this location with my family today and we really enjoyed our lunch! Although the lunch special pricing is not in effect on the weekends, the pricing was fair and the BBQ was very decent! We have 4Rivers back home so I can't say that the Brisket at Famous Dave's competes with the brisket I'm used to, but the BBQ chicken was perfect and the Mac and cheese was delicious! I did not enjoy the Wilbur's beans as much as I liked the corn bread muffin. I DID like that the server asked me if I wanted white or dark meat when ordering the chicken! I'm def a dark meat kind of woman! I'd be back to a Famous Dave's if we lived in the area.

    I haven't been to Famous Dave's since the location in Largo closed many years ago but I do remember that I always liked the restaurant. I visited this location for my grandfather's birthday dinner. We had our own private set up, which was nice. There was plenty of room for us to sit and roam around. I ordered the feast for two with the brisket and fried chicken. It also came with ribs, fried, Wilbur beans, coleslaw, and cornbread muffins. There was so much food. Enough food for two adults and we still had enough food left for a full dinner the following night. Everything tasted great and was seasoned perfectly. My daughter ordered the cheeseburger which also tasted really good. The service was good too. At first, there was only one waitress serving the area so service was a tad slow sometimes. I was happy when another waiter came to help out. They were both really friendly and helped make the experience even better. There's plenty of parking and it was easy to find. I'm not sure if this is the closest location to me now but I would go again.

    Location Just off Berry and Western-Waldorf. Parking Large lot-little tricky to find entrances-plenty of spaces. Atmosphere Open, good lighting-farm house roof over side seats. Fireplace roaring in the middle. Lots of room for groups. Variety of music playing. Service Friendly, attentive, management check in-great job! Food We split the famous Dave's sassy salad-delish with brisket. Also can have chicken, pulled pork. Full with avocado, bacon, egg. Side of cornbread muffin. Muffin is really good-light but good size. Menu offers a wide variety of appetizers, sides, meals, and catering dinners. House margarita with brandy topper. Variety of house bbq sauces-satan's breath. Summary Local bar b que and MORE-fantastic service-clean-great food. Can't wait to return!

Some of the fish tasted good and other pieces were just meh and didn't seem quite done enough for me. The customer service was suspect. I was with a group of 6, and one person didn't get his meal until 20 minutes after everyone else. They also got a couple of orders wrong and just seemed disorganized.

The tables are spacious enough to comfortably fit large groups (I've seen families of 8!), and there's plenty of room to spread out and enjoy everything. Ordering is super convenient with the self-serve tablet, making it easy to keep the food coming. One of the best parts is the variety--you can choose from hotpot, or go all in with hotpot, sushi, and BBQ. I've tried all three, and they do not disappoint! The selection feels endless, which makes every visit exciting. I especially love that you get to cook your own food, even the BBQ. That's a big plus since many Korean BBQ spots cook it for you. It makes the experience more interactive and fun. The soup bases are flavorful and really elevate the whole meal. And now they've started serving alcoholic beverages too, which is a great addition!

However the service is absolutely terrible and only declining. Pace yourself when you're drinking whatever drink you ordered because the chance of you catching your waiter to get another one will be almost non existent. Mostly teenagers are employed here which is good for the work experience but they are too busy on their cell phones to check on their tables. Even when the restaurant is empty you will still not receive service. You will watch your waiter pacing back and forth on their phone longer than you will spend drinking your water/soda. I used to come here once a week but the service has deterred me so much that at most I come once a month and each time I come it's getting worse and worse. I've had to pull the manager up on shift one time to ask for a simple refill because my waiter was too busy on the phone. I'm usually a great tipper, 25% or more, here I simply give 18% because most visits I sit for 30+ minutes with nothing to drink and zero way besides walking up to the waiter to get their attention since their phones are so close to their face it's touching their noses. I won't even come for dinner anymore because the price is not worth their service.

When it's nice outside they have several picnic tables to sit at and eat. The pulled pork sandwich with Cole slaw is my favorite. They give a nice portion of meat on the sandwich. They have a good bbq sauce that goes well on it. The minced beef was not my cup of tea so I wouldn't order it again. The ribs are just ok. They use St. Louis style and precut them by the bone for you. It's a toss up when you get fall off the bone or rip off with your teeth. Most often it's tough and have to tear into it. They had baby back one time and I really enjoyed that. I think that should be the staple instead. I tried the catfish one time and was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Definitely want to try it as a sandwich at some point. The fries are not cheap but the large is a lot of fries. I think their baked beans are the best in the area. The Mac and cheese is okay and did not care for the collard greens. Overall not a bad place and definitely better than most in the area. Still only go for a treat but I do come back.

We ordered the ribs and chicken combo with collard greens and macaroni and cheese, and the rib tips with a side of cornbread. We were pretty shocked and disappointed to see a bbq place selling prepackaged cornbread, and weren't aware that's what it was until after we got home and opened everything to eat. The Mac and cheese side was good, and I think the collard greens were ok, it just would have been better if they were cut up a little more manageable and didn't have so many stems. As for the meat....all of it was terrible! It was completed smothered in their bbq sauce and did not have a good flavor to it. After eating, my husband and I both got sick. We did also ordered one of the packaged Nightingale ice cream sandwiches, which was our favorite thing of the entire meal. Not a place we will go back to again.

The Mac and cheese was not my favorite, the texture was a little too loose for my liking. Also, the cheese blend was basic, it's missing the kick that sharp cheddar or mustard would bring. The baked beans were not my favorite either. They were too sweet, I could smell sweetness as soon as I opened the tub. The baked beans could use more of savory touch to balance the sweetness. I was disappointed that this visit was underwhelming as last visit have been better. -Customer service was good. -There's no dine-in.
