    How can I give this place ZERO STARS? Not only do they mess up my order ($153! mind you), but had the nerve to hang up in my face as I was explaining the situation. How dare you tell me to be calm when you don't even listen to the customers' complaints? When you refuse to even acknowledge wrong doing?! I only raised my voice when the fool on the other end kept repeating me in error. I told them I didn't get any brisket and he kept saying, "So you didn't get the salad?" In any case, I have take photos of the order and will be filing a dispute with my CC company/Yahoo. Whoever answered the phone was RUDE AF! You want me to be nice? then you PAY ME to order food rather than take my money, then you can mess my order up all day long! Does anyone see in brisket in the photo I've attached, because all i see is bacon for meat.

    Gotta be honest and say that a different BBQ place was my first choice, but they weren't open for lunch on a Wednesday. Famous Dave's used to be one of my favorite places, but I'm feeling like there have been changes. First, this location switched to the new Quick Que cafeteria style since I had last been there. It was nice, bright and clean with big overhead menus. Lots of choices, although I didn't notice the option for baby back ribs until after I had ordered and saw the table flyer. The folks working were attentive and friendly. It was pretty quiet for lunch time with the only other group being a couple moms with their (kinda loud) kids. As far as food choices: * I had the St. Louis style ribs with coleslaw and brussels sprouts. The ribs weren't as fall-off-the-bone as I would have liked, and one of the ribs was a chewy end piece. Coleslaw was good. I was pretty excited about the brussels sprouts side dish, but they were overly sweet to me, and also a bit chewy. * My grandson had the ginormous double stack ultimate burger that has two cheeseburger patties, chopped pork, bacon, and BBQ sauce and with a side of thick cut fries. That's a lot of food for $11! He said it was okay and wished the fries were a bit more seasoned. Do I still love BBQ? Yes! Would I still pick the other BBQ place first? Also yes. Would I turn down a free meal here? Nope.

    I've never been disappointed by Famous Dave's - 4 stars. As a local chain, Famous Dave's does a great job. I've eaten at lots of fancy boutique BBQ joints. But for my money, I always enjoy FD because of the huge variety, the consistent quality, and reasonable prices. You always know what you're gonna get and you won't pay an arm & a leg for it. For those of you that aren't local, this location had a complete and total re-make a couple of years ago. This used to be a large full-sized, full service, full bar location with a giant parking lot. But they raised the whole thing to the ground and built 3 new places: a bank, a veterinarian, and a smaller Famous Dave's version called "Quick Que". It's Chipotle style now. You order up front and take the food to your table after paying. Obviously, no more full bar. LOW CARB: Famous Dave's is an excellent choice if you happen to be a low carb, Keto, carnivore person. All of the items can be ordered ala carte, including meats by the pound. So you can easily and seamlessly make food choices that match your carnivorous eating style. Nice! I'll be back. -Maxx

    Nice spot for lunch. Counter service was friendly, you order at the far end. (They really need an "order here"sign) Food came out quickly. St Louis style ribs had good smokey flavor, they were a bit dry. Might try baby backs next time, those tend to be less dry. Cole slaw was creamy and sweet, corn bread delicious. Avoid the mac and cheese, it has peppers and corn,and a really bad sauce that is not cheesey at all. Dining area was clean and comfortable. Pepsi products. Would return to try the lunch specials.

    Feast for 2

    I haven't gone to a famous Dave's in several years because the quality of food got a little worse and a little bit more expensive. The feast for two is a great quality for about three hungry people. The flavor is light and subtle but the meat did taste like it's been under the heat lamp for X number of hours. It just needed to be a lot warmer. I think I am really going to enjoy this in my air fryer with a little bit more heat and a little bit of crust on the outside.

    The food was delicious. And looked very nice. The workers was also nice and asked how I'm doing. I liked the style of the restaurant. And the food was good and we got boxe

    The bbq is always good at Famous Dave's! I wish I could say the same for the service. I would rather eat more bbq and skip the calorie filled sodas and alcoholic beverages, so I'm not impressed when I get the push for drinks and appetizers from the waitress! But if you really want a good tip-please refill my water glass. This trip into FD's was disappointing since our waitress was pushing all the additional items instead of good old fashioned service. My water glass was empty but she did refill my dinner partners iced tea glass. FOOD: **** (four stars) SERVICE: ** (two stars)

    Food is the same but I am not a fan of this new setup. We prefer the sit down and order from a menu instead of going through a line.

    After ordering from here for the third time in a month, I finally decided it was time to write this…read morereview. Each of the 3 times I ordered were carside orders. Unfortunately I don't have much to say in the positive sense. Both times, I arrived about 10 minutes before the expected "order ready" time made a call to the restaurant to let them know I was outside, and both time, I sat outside of the carside door with a clear view of my order sitting in the counter for about 20 minutes before someone brought it out (despite the runner standing behind the counter the entire time). Nothing makes your day less gratifying than coming home after seeing your food sit on a counter for 20 minutes, and opening a container with cold food when you get home. That being said, this last time blew it out of the water. I arrived in the same manner to see if I would witness a hat trick. The order was brought out uncharacteristically fast. However when I got home, I noticed a few things almost immediately. The shrimp/Chicken skillet was missing the side, The wonton taco shells were completely white and soft, on the border of undercooked while the quesadillas were the exact opposite; borderline burnt. The sour cream that came with the quesadillas was clumpy and completely separated, and of the two orders of boneless BBQ wings with ranch we were supposed to receive, we got one order of BBQ and one of Buffalo with blue cheese.. not sure which is worse: getting cold food or wrong/missing food...

The atmosphere was just like a good Applebee's. I like all the pictures of the sports teams.

    So this place is a cool find in Anoka. I don't know how long this has been and let alone a chain…read moresandwich shop, but hurray for me. Ordered delivery from this Capriotti's because I very much had a hankering for a sandwich. Perusing the menu showed it could be difficult to make a selection. I would eat any of their sandwiches except the tuna. I could not make up my mind, so I ordered the Capastrami and the Bobbi. First, I will upon receiving these two sandwiches - they are large! I mean, really large. I ordered a small Bobbi, a medium Capastrami, and a regular order of fries (there were a ton of fries too). A small was almost too much for me, and the medium was certainly a shareable, or an eat half now, and eat the other half later in the week situation. The Sandwiches themselves were good. The Bobbi with the turkey, stuffing, and cranberry sauce was excellent. More importantly, they offered a side of gravy. That really put it over the top for me. Who doesn't like gravy, right? I dipped everything, including the mountain of fries, into the gravy (everybody in the pool!). Definitely ordering this one again if available. The Capastrami would have been amazing if I had been able to eat some of that from my delivery. Even the following day, it was terrific. For a chain deli, it is much better than the usual suspects we have for chain sandwich shops, and this one will be first on the list when I want a sandwich.

    Capriotti's advertises themselves as 'The best sandwich in America'. I would be curious as to who…read morethe voters were? I had the turkey sandwich. I can say it was not the best sandwich I have ever had. The meat was not slices but rather large pieces of turkey. I don't think the meat was bad, just not very flavorful. The jury is still out as to whether or not I will go back to try another sandwich to test their claim as having the best sandwich.
