UPDATE: damn. The food is inconsistent…read more.. Got an order on a Monday night and maybe it was off but the chicken wings were funky-- not lightly fried with the taste of sauce as they had done before. the pulled pork was dry as a bone and the paper thin pieces of tri-tip were like paper. Smoked paper. The baked beans were kind of meh I do like the cornbread and coleslaw but after this I'm gonna keep looking. One BIG issue is the prices are also inconsistent, cheaper in the online app, higher in the store cash register system and even higher on the printed menu. They need to fix that because I don't like arguing over prices with the counter help... But I will. MY ORIGINAL REVIEW WAS MUCH BETTER Love this place, it's low-key and local and has killer barbecue, tasty sides and more. Staff is super nice and friendly, I just call in my order and it's ready in minutes. So far I've only gotten the wings and SMOKED CHICKEN YUMMM plus sides like mac & cheese, coleslaw and greens are delicious. And I love their cornbread, it's generous and freezes well so you can have it later in the week for breakfast! If you have any leftovers!

Visited the 10th's Corner location and it wasn't too busy inside. I ordered two 2-meat meals with…read morebrisket and tri-tip plus sides, one 1-meat lunch with brisket and potato salad, and a kids meal brisket slider. Unfortunately, once I got home, I realized the order wasn't correct. I received 3 mac & cheeses and 3 baked beans, but NO potato salad, which I specifically ordered with the 1-meat meal. My biggest disappointment was the kids brisket slider. It does NOT appear or taste like brisket at all--it seems to be a regular hamburger patty. I even specifically asked the young lady at the register if the slider was brisket , and she confirmed that it was. If this is actually a hamburger being sold as a brisket slider, that's very misleading and disappointing. I would like that portion of my order corrected or refunded. That said, there were definitely some positives. The baked beans were loaded with meat and had great flavor. I haven't tried the mac & cheese yet, but the brisket was VERY tender, and the spicy BBQ sauce was delicious! The food I actually received and tried was good, but for an order this large, getting the correct sides and the correct meat--especially after specifically confirming what I was ordering--matters. Hopefully the restaurant can address the issue with the kids meal and improve order accuracy.

The restaurant…read moreitself is pretty small so there is limited seating, and is pretty no-frills, but the food and the service speak for themselves! I had the pulled pork on a hot dog bun. The pulled pork was fantastic, great sauce, generous amount of meat. The potato salad was BOMB. So good! The coleslaw was very solid. I like Cole slaw a little tangier, but this was a good version as well. I added some honey to my cornbread and it was so delicious. I would definitely come back! I hope everyone supports this local restaurant! Yes it's street parking, but there was plenty of parking on the block in front of the restaurant. You can definitely find parking.

It has been a while since we are here. we were in the mood for bbq , so visited on a Sunday…read more Sat in the patio area because we had our dog. Although we were the only ones on the patio, it was spacious and hard lots of covered seating to keep from summer heat. They do require you to give them your driver license to sit in the patio ( we understand why lol) Our server was very friendly and helpful. I originally ordered the bbq nachos and he said the portion for the one on the menu is meant for 2 people and offered a smaller one ( half the price). So glad he did because the half one was plenty. I rather enjoyed the nacho , comes with brisket ( very tasty and tender meat). Fiancé ordered the St Louise rib n meat. He picked brisket as his 2nd meat and his choice of side was Mac n cheese and coleslaw. I didn't try his order, but he said it was all delicious. Had a lovely lunch here and appreciated our server being attentive and checking to make sure we didn't need anything as frequently as he did considering we were the only ones outside

Disappointing Visit--Declined Over the Years…read more I haven't been to Famous Dave's in Long Beach in years and, unfortunately, I won't be returning. The overall quality has declined. Service was just okay, but the biggest issues were with the restaurant itself: tables are peeling and the bathroom was filthy with broken seats and doors. We ordered wings, which were fine but came with just two sad pieces of celery. I regret ordering the burnt ends combo. While the meat had decent flavor, it was way too fatty, and all the sides were disappointing. The mac and cheese tasted oddly sweet, almost like it was mixed with potato salad. The corn muffin was dry, the fries were bland and seemed old and refried, and the slice of white bread with the combo was toasted so hard it was basically stale. Paying $70 (including tip) for this meal felt like a slap in the face. It's a shame, this used to be one of my favorite spots, but I'll be taking it off my list.

Can't complain about that but I went there about 530 on a Sunday. It was busy. I ordered my food and waited and waited and waited. 45 minutes into waiting for my order they told me it would be right out. 15 minutes later my order still wasn't ready. I spoke to the owner and he told me that I came on a bad day because Sunday was his busiest day to which I replied that shouldn't have made a difference. Secondly, he said it was a startup and they were just getting used to doing business and I said that was not acceptable also. He said do I want my money? I said yes, which led me to believe that my order was not even put in yet. I would love for this place to make it but excuses like that should not be made. If he had said I'm sorry, but he didn't. He kept saying it was a busy day. It was a busy day, which shouldn't have made a difference to me. I hate that I have to give this one star because the food is not the problem. It's the ordering of the food. I was not rude. As a business owner you don't take criticism very well. I did not raise my voice but making excuses doesn't bode well in business. Like I said your food is excellent but customer service needs improving. I want you to succeed because you have a good product and we need you in Long Beach.
