We recently visited the dells during automotion 2013. It's is a very busy weekend. However we only waited 15 minutes on a Saturday night with a party of 9. The food has great prices and the service was quick. Our server "famous Greg" was awesome. We highly recommend this place. Their lunch specials are an even better deal.

We ate at Famous Dave's a few days ago and loved the food. I really like the chopped pork and the onions strings are great. The waitress was really nice and the service was spot on. We ate at the new place closer to the freeway and enjoyed everything about it.

I always get a platter that comes with two sides. Cat fish fingers are great. Its about $50 for two people with a few drinks each

The food was not toogood, cold potatoes, cold corn, and items they forgot to bring out with the meal. Also the services was poor, she was new, and we tried to understand but things got worst. The manager, was nice and made things a little better but taking off a little from our bill and apologized. She was nice and... More

We were looking for a place that was large enough to easily accommodate our large party. We had eaten at Famous Dave's in a different city and knew we'd be in good hands. Our party of 10 was seated within 10 minutes. The food was very good. I don't think there was anything on the menu that we wouldn't order.... More

The ribs were good, the place was clean, the service was okay. The waitress could have been a lot friendlier and helpful. If you've eaten at one Famous Dave's; you've eaten at them all. The only difference was the staff. They could use a little more training.

I have never had Dave's but was curious and always looking for good barbecue. My son, a picky eater, said the pulled pork was good and might be willing to go back. He refused to eat the Mac n Cheese due to green specks of spices in it. My daughter gave the chicken tenders child meal her approval. I found... More

I LOVE this Famous Dave's! The staff is great, personable, and did different stuff I've not experienced at other Famous Dave's. For example, we ate here and on the plate, the waitress made a funny pig face out of all the sauces. Brought a free sampling of fries (enough for all of the family of 5) to dip and sample.... More

I don't normally like to go to chain "corporate" restaurants, but this one is my favorite. I had the pulled pork, which the sauce was out of this world. The service was quick and the prices reasonable.
