Famous Dave's BBQ Sauce
Yolande M.

1. Award winning service was given by Daniel. He said see you next week! He knows we will be back. 2. Award winning smoker/grill master is Sam! We asked who prepared our ribs.....Sam knows what she is doing with those pedals! 3. Award winning ribs goes to this Famous Dave's location! It is better than the others in our humble opinion. The ribs were so tender and falling off the bones! We see why they have been voted 16 years straight as Best BBQ by Channel 4 - Click on Detroit. 4. The restaurant is very nice lit with plenty of sitting options and even outdoor seating is available during nicer weather. There are plenty of paper towels and wet wipes to go around! lol

Baby back ribs
Remy G.

THE BABIES ARE STILL HERE!!!!!!!!! PROS: - The best baby back ribs ever are still around! This meaty, juicy, delicious favorite is as good as ever, and I'm so glad it's still available on their limited menu! - Our service from Jenn was so friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience! - The music wasn't too loud, and the crowd noise level was manageable to have a good time and hear conversation around the table. CONS: - I still miss the chicken wild rice soup. Maybe they'll bring that back eventually. FAVORITES: - BA-BY BACK! BABY BACK! Seriously, these baby back ribs + sweet and zesty sauce is a game winner. - The bread pudding is also the best around - soft, sweet, and drizzled in delicious sauce. It comes with whipped cream and vanilla ice cream, which make it extra delicious! TIPS: - Get the baby back ribs and the bread pudding! OVERALL: - Still my favorite ribs of all time!

One of the best meals I've had at a barbecue restaurant in a long time. The brisket sandwich was delicious. My server was excellent and knew exactly what I wanted in place of the Manhandler sandwich, which no longer is available. I enjoyed the music that played while I ate, and the quietness of the restaurant was wonderful.

The food was prettygood. The sides I wasn't crazy about. The staff was great. I would eat here again.

A sample of the food that catered at our Christmas party.

Recently, the company I work for decided to have Famous Dave's cater our annual Christmas party. We had BBQ chicken, and ribs that were very delicious and tasted great. Likewise, the mac & cheese, and mashed potatoes were fantastic, and had some serious flavor. The catering team arrived on-time, set everything up in the conference room. They provided us with some great extras, including several bottles of "Sweet Baby Ray's" BBQ sauce in different flavors. All-in-all, we had a great time. In the future, if you're looking at having your company event catered, the staff at this Famous Dave's will make it happen.

Are the ribs pork or beef?

Pork! St. Louis-style spareribs and Babyback ribs are both on the menu.

The Meat Lover's omelette rocks - lots of bacon, sausage and cheese! Served hot…read more I opt'd for pancakes rather than potatoes. They were firm, not gummy. Service is very attentive without being obsequious. My coffee and water never got below half before refills were offered. The venue is small-ish, but now over-stuffed with tables. Plenty of space for the staff and customers to move without any bump & grind. I was catching-up with an olde friend and they did not rush us out the door. Thank you very much. One caution; it was noisy this morning.

If they dont have one ready sometimes theyll let you pick one thats just been finished but not cleaned and theyll clean it off as you sit down kinda thing. The vibe isnt anything fancy, basic diner chairs/rubbery plastic seats that have seen better days. But the coffee is always hot, and they keep bringing it by. The owner herself walks around chatting and pouring the coffee, shes this short European (maybe) woman with a bit of an accent but she's incredibly sweet! Her daughter also works there with her husband which i find so sweet. As i said the coffee is always hot, the food is always fresh and doesn't take long even on a busy morning with a packed restaurant! I dont know how they keep up sometimes but they do! If you like fish, go on a Friday night for fish fry and you wont be disappointed! The fish is crispy/crunch, hot and absolutely delicious. This is my favorite place to get a fish fry! And the best part about this place is? Its hella affordable, so be nice and tip those guys they deserve it

Food was great, especially the monkey bread/homemade cinnamon icing…read moreBreakfast burrito was good, but way too big. I'll have leftovers for days Alisha was our waitress and she was a ray of sunshine. I felt bad taking away and adding ingredients to my dish but they have so many options for different dietary restrictions that it makes it worth coming back to. It felt so homey and definitely gives old timey vibes. I'd definitely recommend

Oh boy! Breakfast, brunch, lunch, you can't go wrong. This place checks all of the boxes. Britney…read morewas our server and I couldn't have asked for a more delightful, more engaging waitress for my first time there. She was helpful and patient and I appreciate that. The atmosphere in this place is just outstanding you definitely walk in and the decor catches your eye in a light and comfortable way. The place is sparkling clean, and the food, let me just say I will be back to probably try everything on their menu at one time or another. LOL, not kidding. I ordered the breakfast lasagna, we ordered the monkey bread for the middle of the table, my friends ordered the Dubai chocolate French toast. Not a complaint one. Seriously usually someone has something to say critical, this place is outstanding. How have I never found it before. Good job Anna whoever you are?

GJ's Diner - Most of the breading I peeled off the fish

Gj's has been around for a long time. They must be doing something right…read more I've eaten here a few time for breakfast. Prices are on the lower side but the special also cuts back on portion size. Not complaining just making everyone aware. On my last visit the waitress could have been a little more upbeat. Once ordered the food came out pretty promptly but, in my opinion, could have been done better. Ordering eggs sometimes vary from what you expect to what you receive. My main issue was with the hash browns. I understand that I like my hash browns more crispy but these crossed the line. They were put on the griddle but weren't left there very long. They had a few darker spots but some of the potato in the center were still half raw. Lots of hard surfaces and everything appeared clean. As I said they've been there a while so atmosphere is homey. Not a bad place to have breakfast. It's not one of my favorites but I will go back.

Really BAD experience.... Was excited to try the fish.. called was told it was hand battered…read more... Went in and ordered fish with salad and baked potato...... ranch dressing was bubbly and warm so I was scared to eat that... fish was just bad.... Was told it was 12 ounces... they must weigh it after they batter it. Was told it was cod... I don't think so... wasn't white enough and the batter and fish wasn't cooked enough. The oil was probably too hot, that's why the outside was brown but the inside was doughy. You could actually still see some of the orange color to the batter. Not crispy at all...The baked potato was good. I peeled all the batter off, ate the fish and the potato, then saw what appeared to be a grayish eyebrow hair on the bottom of my plate.. that sealed the deal... the guy cooking with the salt and pepper hair and afternoon shadow beard needs to put a damn hairnet on his head and face so it doesn't end up on the plate. I almost puked.The only thing good about this experience was the waitress... she was apologetic and nice..I felt bad for her. You really have to know what you're doing to have good hand, battered fish and chips and it's quite obvious, the cook that was shedding on my plate hasn't figured that out yet.... We will NEVER be back..... I'm soo mad I didn't just go to Michnos for their fish..... this was a waste of 40 bucks
