We were feeling hungry on our way back from AZ and we were glad to see a Famous Dave's considering the one near me closed. We arrived around noon, and it got fairly packed quickly. There's an industrial rustic farmer vibe inside. Lots of seating. What was cool was that we ordered the three meat meal, and thought it was going to be the dinner price, but the lunch price was much less! It was a great way to share foods amongst us and to try different meats. The plate automatically includes a cornbread, which is not on the menu! They serve Pepsi products. Food was good and BBQ sauce was delicious. Different tangy and spice flavors. Food came out quickly too. read more

I ordered the burnt ends, brisket, and rib tips. Unfortunately, all three were pretty dry. I had my friends try them as well and they agreed. I asked the bartender if the meat is normally that dry, and she said no and that I should have told her sooner. To her credit, she offered to remake the burnt ends, and the new batch came out much better--hot and juicy. It did make me wonder if the first plate might have been sitting around for a while. Overall, it was a decent meal but nothing particularly memorable. I'm still on the hunt for a really good BBQ spot around here--haven't found anything close to what you can get in San Diego. read more

My experience this time around was not my favorite. The staff were very friendly, but the food was subpar. I ordered the Rib-N-Meat combo with a ribs, brisket, salad and green beans. First they are limited on the salad dressings they have. Then I get my plate and I have ribs and pitiful looking chicken fingers instead of my brisket. They did immediately bring me the brisket. The brisket was ok and the ribs had pretty good flavor. The green beans not so much. I wasn't too happy overall with my meal. The mood and ambience is very causal. As a side note, my co-worker got the wings and I tried one, and they were good! read more

I chose Famous Dave's for our family meal on my birthday. As suspected it was a great time! We ordered an appetizer before the All American Feast; as per usual we had our share of leftovers to take home! The brisket was excellent, as was the Peach Lemonade. read more

I got beef brisket, fries, corn and side of coleslaw. My girlfriend got a salad. The girl was friendly, but not concerned about offering us exactly what we wanted to eat. I'm gluten-free and I said I didn't want the corn muffin. The meat was laying on top of a piece of thick bread that usually is used for French toast in the morning. It wasn't. I got the corn muffin, but I didn't get the coleslaw. I am gluten-free and very sensitive to wheat. I had to take medicine later to relieve the pain from having the bread on the plate. The salad was really small that my girlfriend got it was like a side garden salad with meat on it and a corn muffin. She said the muffins were were dry, and I gave her my buttercup that was delivered with my corn on the cob. Nothing special about their barbecue garden salad. I would never go to this place again. We were the only people eating a late lunch there. read more

I was really excited for some good southern BBQ since I live in the northeast and people are always talking about how good it is down here. I thought Dave's was ok but I didn't find the food anything special. It was decent and I'd give it a 3.5 if I could but I wasn't like omg this really is amazing. We got the bbq sampler to try a few different things. The ribs, beans and potatoes were my fave. read more

You never know what to expect arriving at a restaurant right at their opening time but WOW... service was on Point beverage order for all four of us couldn't be more perfect! We ordered a family feast sort of meal which was perfect for us allowing for enough left overs for two as well! Smoked chicken was succulent and tender perfectly cooked and flavored to perfection! Brisket has a little overcooked bit but who doesn't like Jerky Right? Let's talk Sides.. their "fries" seem to have more potato flavor and are piping hot! Coleslaw is a nice balance of tangy and sweet! Wilbur Beans are meaty too and yummy! Cornbread muffin is like dessert! Ribs are the epitome of textbook perfection! Wow and Wow! Plenty too!!! What did I miss? Served on a Garbage can lid! I did say it's a feast right?? read more

Great atmosphere. Service was great and the food was tasty. They have several sauces on the table that are worth a try. My meat portion was a bit on the small side for $14. But it was all good. The the potato salad and not the coleslaw. See our YouTube channel Coolest Life. read more

Visited 1/8//2024 I've been to several Famous Daves BBQ over the years but I must say the Yuma Store is the best one I've ever visited. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Lots of parking. Nice Clean restrooms. Food was fresh and tender. We ordered The Famous Feast For Two. Comes with three Meats. We went for the Ribs and Double Orders of The Tender, Juicy Brisket. The sides we asked for were Mac & Cheese, Wilber Beans, Steak Fries, Sweet Cornbread, and Corn on The Cob. All comes on a big Platter Family Style. Everything was with Sauce on the side. Everything was tasty but the Star was The Texas Beef Brisket. Super Juicy and Tender. Fantastic Flavor. The Yuma Famous Daves is a winner. read more

We stopped here on a road trip. Wanted to try something new. I had the rib ends, they were ok, difficult to eat, not a lot of meat. My husband had the chopped pork, it was also ok. The restroom was really clean and the server was nice. Not sure I'd stop here again. Maybe if I had ordered something different? read more

We were a large group celebrating a wedding and seated in a section by ourselves. Fabulous! We loved that. We also loved our server. He was busy with another group but he was great with our group and started with assigning numbers! Loved that. Server was great but the food had a mixed review. Catfish nuggets were fabulous. The brisket not so much. We were disappointed. However, since we have brisket fairly often, we may be a little picky too. Chicken got a a good review as did the pickles and pork. Again, brisket was not the best in our opinion and that is usually what we go to Famous Dave's for. read more

Second time there. Dammit I love their soda drinks with fruit. I hate regular soda. And I don't drink water from restaurants. So having another option is just very nice. Didn't go for the big platter. As I wanted wings and macaroni and cheese. The Jalepeno sausage was dry. I took the wings home and ate it the next day, it was good. The 2 sides that I chose was salad and macaroni and cheese. The salad was the best I've ever had than any other restaurant as a side. Good size and kinda filled me up. However. The Mac and cheese disappointed me so much! It had corn in it. So I was pretty bummed about that. Other than that. My husband loved his cat fish. And everything else he ordered. It's one of his favorite places. So I know we will be going back. I just won't order the Mac and cheese again... or the cheddar Jalepeno sausage Service was good too. As for the actual restaurant, I've never seen anyone sit at the bar. But nice place nonetheless. read more

Our service was great for our lunch. Veronica was our server and did a awesome job. My wife's chicken was a little spicy for her taste so they gave her a free brisket side. We didn't expect that. Food was delicious, I had brisket and burnt ends! I like the rich and sassy sauce, which had just the right heat to it. We have eaten here several times over the years and always had good food. read more

Worker was holding front door open 45 minutes prior to close, then quickly walked inside as we walked up and locked us out as we were right in front of the door. Guess they wanted to go home early? It's one thing to close early but another that she didn't even say anything to us, just locked us out. read more

Awesome service, Sarah was the absolute best. Food was amazing as always, can never go wrong with the corn bread.

This is my first time visiting Dave's BBQ and this restaurant is AMAZING!! We got the happy hour wings & two lunch specials with ribs, brisket, sausage, potato salad, and mac & cheese. The brisket is tender and melts in your mouth! The ribs are sooo meaty and delicious. I highly recommend this restaurant! Nice ambience and fast service. I'll be back! read more

I walked in and took a seat at the bar and was following by the young lady with a menu. The bartender come over within a few minutes and took my drink order and pretty much Right away took my food order. My meal came out within a few more minutes and bartender asked if I needed anything to which I said not at the moment. I continue to eat and my drink ran out. At which point there was nobody anywhere near the bar or bar area. Several minutes went past until the bartender returned and asked me if I'd like another drink to which she handed me a drink and brought me my check pretty quickly. It's obvious this place needs a facelift and some good training. The bar was sticky everything stuck to the bar I couldn't move my drink. The place was clean don't get me wrong but it definitely needs to be upgraded. read more

Famous Dave's Barbecue has gone markedly downhill in the past three years. Tonight's service was unbelievably slow. But at least the waitress warned us not to trust the picture of the wings on the promo card I ordered. The card showed 14 wings; my plate had just seven. read more

I went there on Fathers day to get an order to go. After waiting to place my order the lady at the counter said sure and she would be right back after she grabbed some items for another customer. She came back and then said Sorry we are not doing to go orders anymore today. Yikes. I waited 10 mins to hear that and sadly, not the first time they have said that. On two other occasions they wouldn't take my phone order and when i went in they refused to take my to go order stating it was too busy. I think the food if pretty good ,but I've never been told by a business they wont take my order unless I sit down and order. This is the Yuma location that I have constant problems with. I would have given it one star, but I like the food. So my recommendation is not to order "to go" orders from them and just sit down I guess. Not a very good business model but oh well. read more

Being from TX when we want BBQ we have a go to spot, Famous Daves anytime we find one during our travels. This trip to Yuma was no different. It's unfortunate that Dave's BBQ restaurants are disappearing faster than I can count. I say this because our dining experience was excellent and have never disappointed. This location has good parking and excellent interior estics making our visit welcoming. Our server Angie was quick to get our food order going and to our table. Nevertheless, our dining experience was excellent. Our plates consisted of ribs, chicken, corn bread muffins, beans and potato salad. As expected, the food was on par with other locations we have eaten at. read more

Came here for Father's Day dinner. Great service from our waiter. He was on it. The sides were delicious! Cornbread, coleslaw, Wilbur beans, and fries. Chicken was good. Ribs were tough but I assume it may have been due to the Father's Day lunch rush. I asked for moist brisket, it was dry. The table we sat at was sticky. The seat was wet and required several towels to dry. We watched staff pass over and by a bunch of garbage from a table on the floor before we notified the manager and they cleaned it up. Banana Pudding was amazing!!! So that and the service from our waiter was the best part of our visit. read more

I was excited to see a bbq place on our travels. This was right off the 8. The people were very friendly. The decor was fun. Sadly our table was not completely clean with crumbs on the seats. The food was good but their use of fake butter ruined the taste of many things. The brisket was good. The corn bread was good but needed some butter. They brought out some foul tasting butter substitute when I asked for more butter. It was dry and needed something to keep it from crumbing. The loaded baked potato was delicious. The Mac n cheese was spicy. The corn on the cob was ok. It had a lot of potential but just missed the mark. read more

Middle of the road flavors; unfortunately the only real known place in Yuma for bbq. It can range from eerily quiet to obnoxiously loud.
