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 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.

I decide that I'll take myself to lunch after my final shift of an event at the amazing Beach Convention Center. Well it was fun taking myself to lunch after 2:30pm because there wasn't a wait to be seated. I was greeted by the bar tender who handed me a menu and a roll up (napkin, fork & knife) and he pointed the way to ample seating at the bar area. I was craving meat and Famous Dave's is known for that. There's indoor menu was easy to ready and they had daily specials. The bartender told me about the .69 cent wings. I ordered the tea (which had sweet & unsweetened options), the 2 meat lunch and also 5 bbq wings. Famous Dave's has plenty of paper towels to wipe your hands even though I wanted to lick the sauce off my hand. The ambiance is rustic and very relaxed. So it felt great to just chill after work. There's indoor, outdoor and bar seating so the options are a plenty. The restaurant is ADA compliant with a ramp for handicapable individuals. I will definitely come back for more DELICIOUS food at Famous Dave's.

I can't wait to go back and try some more stuff off the menu.

I ordered via uber for pick up. Food I ordered was cooked well and tasted good. However, the entire…read moreprocess was tedious, stressful, and honestly not worth the time to go back for. This is part of a cloud kitchen that is poorly maintained. There is not even one person attending so if there are any issues, you are on your own. I tried calling the phone number but no one answered. I even tried texting the restaurant. Uber support did not help either. The instructions given for pick up from the restaurant via uber were poor so guidance is necessary. There are men loitering around the lobby that do not work there. The confusion regarding their purpose and intentions did make me feel a bit unsafe. It was probably not their intention but going into a tight alley, not knowing what to do, with no one that can help you and then running into a group of men would make anyone a bit concerned. Finally after figuring out how to check in, the order was not even ready even though the estimate already said it was ready. It seems like the order didn't get started until I checked in. So, I had to wait longer for my order, which again is an issue due to the loitering. There is also no parking near the lobby so it is a terrible place and area to be waiting. Not only are those men loitering but there are other drivers loitering in their cars in the alley for orders so it is hard to drive through. Having the cloud kitchen staff at least one person would help and/or a security guard to keep the alley and lobby clear could significantly help all businesses operating out of there. Although this is mainly an issue with the cloud kitchen itself, it is something that this particular restaurant can work on. Had the instructions been clear via the app, I would not have this issue. Additionally, they could have answered the phone or texted back, but did not.
