    Should be called Dave's famous boiled ribs w/ bbq sauce on the side.

    Ordered here a few times and they keep forgetting cornbread or sides. Got ribs here for father's day and they boiled the ribs today. No rub, no smoke flavor and my container is drenched with boiled rib water.... Do not recommend

    I usually order barbecue from here like the family feast which is really good. But this time I ordered the devils spit burger and I was a bit unsatisfied only because I felt like I had a burger from Carl's Jr but for $17. The drinks from the bar were wack. The food there is great but not the burgers. My wife had the chili and side salad which I don't really think she enjoyed the "award winning chili" but the salad was good it's kinda hard to mess up a salad. This location is shared with carinos Italian. If you go here, stick to the barbecue. Handicap parking is in front and parking is readily available for you to park.

    We came for dinner. I was seated almost in the kitchen. Not my idea. There were lots of tables available, and I got stuck here. I ordered ribs, corn on the cob, pineapple, and a muffin. Everything tasted pretty good. The waiter came by and refilled my friend's drink. I had to chase him down to refill mine. The food was very expensive. Cost $83 for one meal for two people.

    My family and I got seated immediately which was awesome. We like ordering appetizers & our entrees at the same time that way our food comes out quick. So I tried ordering some appetizers and the waitress said they ran out every single time. Carrying on, I ordered a brisket sandwich but they gave me something different. I don't like to make things difficult so I just ate it. My daughter ordered a cheeseburger and said it was good. By the time we got home my family and I got sick, and caught a stomach flu. This was the only place we ate that day, I'm not sure if it was the bbq sauce or the cornbread we all ate.

    Have you ever walked into a place and felt like you've been there before because you have ! This restaurant has been split and half. I love that the food was delicious. I can eat this cornbread every day. I had a nice time with my dad. Five stars.

    Great service, great food. Kids got the chicken tenders , hubby got the tacos (one of each) ; MIL got a Cesar salad , and I got the fried chicken and ribs. Everything was delicious. Corn bread was 10/10 Customer service by Jose was great. Recommend grey drinks , and he was helpful Would recommend to come here.

    Update from my previous Yelp of Famous Daves. Great location. Odd to see it against another restaurant that looks as though the owners have up on it in comparison to Famous Daves.

    It was my first time trying Famous Dave's, and it was pretty good. The sides it came with were decent. The coleslaw and beans were on the sweeter side and the potato wedges were nice and fresh. I was hoping there was an option to change the sides, but the waitress told me you can't change anything and it comes as is. The fried chicken was nice and crispy and it had a nice flavor. Overall, the experience was nice.

    Order 16 0oz. Ribeye to go cost $46 charge extra $2.50 for the container. Got home and steak was rare almost raw with a ton of gristle when I asked for medium rare.

    I've been waiting for a restaurant for famous Dave's to open in Downey. We've been going to Johnie Carina's to pick and and take home. So I got a flyer for a free brisket sandwich that came with fries. A $21.00 value with no purchase necessary. So I grabbed one of my grandsons and went to eat inside. First the place is really cute inside also very clean. We were greeted by everyone. Our waitress was fantastic she was friendly and I felt so welcomed. Almost like I knew her. Now for the food We got the free brisket sandwich delicious Also rib tips ( best I've had in along time) yummm on the fried pickles. The tacos were packed brisket and pork. The fried chicken was okay not bad but I went for BBQ. The coleslaw not bad. I will definitely go back next time I wanna try the brisket egg rolls.

    I was really looking forward to a great BBQ meal, but unfortunately the food fell short overall. The dessert was the highlight of the visit -- it was delicious and definitely the best part of the experience. The corn wasn't sweet, and by the time butter arrived, both the bread and corn were too cold to enjoy. The ribs were also disappointing, though I did enjoy the brisket, which had good flavor and texture. For me, price isn't the issue -- I'm happy to pay as long as the quality is there. I hope this restaurant takes the opportunity to improve both the food and service because there's definitely potential. The atmosphere was OK

    Staff was really friendly but the food was salty we weren't even able to eat it. Would have returned it the return drive was to far.

    It's been a while since I've ordered meal prep so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I can gladly…read moresay that Marcus and his team are awesome. I find that the meals are delicious and affordable. It absolutely beats spending more money on lunch when I'm in the office. I was also really surprised at the portion sizes too. I'm a big guy so in my head I'm thinking the portion size wouldnt be enough, but I was surprised to find I felt satisfied and full the rest of the work day. Pickup is pretty straight forward! You just text them when you arrive and they bring it out to you! Simple as that! Additionally, Marcus is a really nice guy! Never Change! You guys have made a continue customer out of me. Thank you!

    The food tasted was bland but my biggest issue was pick up…read more You get a text saying what time to pick up and the address but no unit. You are suppose to arrive to his commercial strip and text you are here. ZERO RESPONSE. 15 minutes later I'm driving up and down this strip (none of the suites are labeled with OSM) until I randomly see another car pull up to a random end suite where I have to figure out that's where it is. This is my second pick up both of which were huge issues but the first one was my fault so I thought it would somehow be better. AFTER I get a text on a different thread saying "Sorry for the inconvenience. Customers pull up to suite N on Sundays and we bring the food out or they text the business line" which is NOT on any texts from the "business line" and they never replied once on that line. The food is not worth this trouble.
