    Brisket and Tri Tip
    Gladys P.

    Went to Famous Dave's in Long Beach about 12 years ago. Thought they had closed it down so went to the Rancho Cucamonga location. Found out it reopened in Long Beach! I know there's some haters out there but when I went, the ribs were fresh and "fall off the bone" juicy. My son was happy with the brisket and tri tips, not dry at all. There was a good size crowd in there so this place must know what it's doing.

    I see the end coming for this chain. They blocked the kitchen view which im guessing is to hide the microwaves and steam tables. Everything tasted like it was boiled in a bag food. Mashed potatoes now tasted instant, Mac and cheese was so bland and over cooked, burnt ends were more like fatty chewy dog treats, the Georgia chopped pork and pulled chicken were all dried out. Only 1 person working the front running door bartender, waiting tables and being the hostess i hope they pay her triple for working all those positions. This place use to be fire! But now its so mediocre that I could of cooked at home and gotten better and more food for the price we paid. Cheap sysco onion rings too avoid those at all cost. Our drinks we so very watered down. I mean such a freaking shame for a place we use to go to often but will now be put on the never again list They eliminated half their menu and put pizza and tacos like wtf are you having an identity crisis Dave? This place is no longer award winning. Your better off buying the sauce in the store and cooking your own food. Only thing good for the $150 we spent was the baked beans which i would bet were probably canned.

    We had the rib tips with potato Salad and baked beans The sides were pretty good and went well with the tips. We had a Watermelon margarita was strong and flavorful. The staff helped us quickly and she was helpful and got us served appropriately. We had originally ordered the burnt ends. We didn't like the sauce it was made with and we returned it. Large and clean restaurant and didn't have many people inside. It appears that there was a recent remodel of the restaurant. They served corn bread and it was sweet and delicious! We will Return and try something new.

    This year for my work Christmas Party, the bosses wanted to cater from Famous Dave's. I inquire through online and decided to go with The Double Dave catering option that feeds for 50 ppl that has Cornbread, BBQ Chicken, Tri Tips, Coleslaw, and Potato Salad with utensils and serving tongs that costed $1127.50. The rep was extremely helpful and answered any questions I have since it's my first time using them and wasn't sure what to expect. I'm glad we were able to pick up the food before their opening time at 11 since that's the time our party starts. The day of the pick up was easy. The dishes were more than enough to feed. Everyone loved it and wiped out their plates clean. We would definitely use them again. Thank you for the success in our party. We can't wait to use you again.

    "The presentation was nice and the portions were generous. I personally prefer more flavor in my BBQ sides -- the beans and ribs weren't quite my style, but the mashed potatoes were decent. The cornbread was sweeter than I expected. Staff was friendly and the food came out quickly." I wouldn't go back

    Cornbread

    Awesome BBQ & Service! First time at this location of Famous Dave's. The wait time was not too bad for a good BBQ place, around 20-25 minutes. We were seated just after two large parties, so we knew there would be a bit of a wait for food, but our server Jose took great care of us while we waited. We had the BBQ chips, so warm, fresh, crunchy, and delicious. We also tried the cornbread. Now this was a nice, sweet treat, buttery and soft as well. For our main, we had the Loaded Baked Potato with Pork. Now this was a filling meal. The potato tasted like a high-end steakhouse, cooked to perfection. This was topped with the tender and very flavorful pork and crispy onions. The cheese, sour cream, butter, and BBQ sauce were served on the side. I wanted to get the coleslaw as well; this was crunchy, sweet, and so delicious! With my meal, I also tried the Black Cherry Lemon Soda. This gave my taste buds quite a surprise, like drinking a sparkling soda made of Nerds candies, yum! The atmosphere was a little on the loud side, but what you would expect from a large restaurant. Loved all the funny signs on the walls. As for service, this was a great experience, from the greeting from the hostess to our server Jose (who was awesome, by the way). Definitely made the experience great.

    Fried Mac & Cheese Bites
    Dajuan F.

    The food was really delicious! The ribs, bbq chicken, Mac & cheese bites & Corn bread were a hit! Famous Jose Had really great service and was very Nice and knowledgeable. The Atmosphere was very nationalistic and lively. We'll definitely be back soon.

    Feast for Two
    Shannon R.

    Went on Valentine's Day. Family of three and we shared the feast for two. We also ordered a side salad. My family eyes went wide eyed when they brought the food out. We were all satisfied. My daughter was a fan of the ribs and cornbread. My hubby enjoyed the ribs and potato's salad. I enjoyed the bbq baked beans, cornbread, and the chopped pork. Service was great. They checked in on us.I enjoyed the ambiance. Felt like we were inside a barn. We enjoyed the wall decor. Plenty of parking.

    There yesterday for early father's day lunch. Service was great. Burger was okay bun was dry, fries…read morewere cold. My granddaughter's chicken tenders were so salty she could hardly eat them. Seems like the rancho location is much better.

    LongHorn Steakhouse in Rancho Cucamonga is a solid go-to if you are craving a great steak without…read morebreaking the bank, but you definitely need to pack a little patience before you arrive. They do not take reservations and there is almost always a line or a wait to get a table. Honestly, though, it is worth sticking it out. Once you get seated, the service is absolutely amazing. The staff is attentive, friendly, and really goes out of their way to make sure you have a great dining experience from start to finish. For dinner, I ordered the filet mignon paired with the lobster tail, and it really hit the spot. The steak was tender, flavorful, and cooked exactly to my liking, while the lobster added a great touch of surf and turf. For the price point, it is hard to beat the quality you get here. It is completely budget-friendly compared to higher-end steakhouses, yet it still delivers a thoroughly satisfying meal that does not skimp on taste. One of the unexpected highlights of the night was the drink menu, specifically their unique take on an Old Fashioned. It was amazing and perfectly balanced, pairing incredibly well with the meal. I am giving this spot a solid four stars. The only thing holding it back from a perfect five is the inevitable wait time at the door, but the phenomenal service, excellent drinks, and affordable food make it a place I will definitely be returning to.
