At the location next to the Everett Mall. We walked in and stood in front of the podium where 2 hostess and a manager stood talking to each other. All 3 looked right at us and continued their conversation, not a word to us. As I stood there another girl walked up and asked if I'd been helped. I looked... More

Ate here (next to the Everett Mall) about 4:20 on a Friday afternoon. Not crowded; and I was cheerfully greeted and seated in the bar area, where the bartender/server quickly approached me and took my order. Food came fairly quickly. However, it was not good. I got the ribs combo with beef brisket. The brisket was incredibly dry -- I... More

Food is average but the service is ridiculously slow and uninterested. I tried to give it a chance but was there so long I left annoyed.

This place is busy but despite the 30-40 minute wait we were told when we put our names down, they seated our party of 7 in about 15 minutes. The servers were attentive, friendly and polite. The portions are a decent size - you will definitely not leave this place hungry, but they weren't TOO big at the same time.... More

We like the BBQ a lot. This one stands out from any other chain BBQ restaurant. They have several sauces. We usually get a combo platter and share.

My friends love this place, but I'm just so-so. It's a typical chain with a corporate feel and prices to match. I've been to a few locations, and they're consistent, but lacking character.

We had lunch at Famous Daves one Friday afternoon. We had cocktails and salad. The food was decent, the service was poor. The waitress apologized and said that they had new kitchen and bar help. We left thinking we would give it another try in the near future. Then, on Monday I too noticed that we had been charged 12... More

We waited a while to eat dinner, and when we finally were seated and got our food we were a bit disappointed. The food was average at best as was the service. Definitely not worth the wait. Have had better elsewhere.
