| - I have absolutely no idea why people love Famous Dave's so much in Las Vegas. There's really little to love, as nothing I had was executed properly. Dry and flavorless meat (the ribs are hilariously awful). Sides that were not real exciting. The people working there are nice, and the cornbread is ok, which is why I'm not giving them one star.
For entertainment value it might be worth going here so you can see huge platters of saturated fat being devoured by people who care nothing about what they shovel in their gullets. The one particular time I was there, my husband and I were fascinated by two large people eating one of the biggest platters of meat I have ever seen, more than I've seen in any casino buffet.
Am I a BBQ snob? No, because if you read Raymond B's review, Famous Dave is supposed to satisfy these people. I just really really want to have better BBQ than I can make at home. But sadly, Famous Dave's, Memphis, Lucille's, and TC's Rib Crib have all been completely disappointing.
I don't know what it is about this city and BBQ - we have probably the best selection of restaurants in the entire world, but we have no good BBQ that I have found. I've had better ribs and BBQ in Washington State, even in a town of 12,000, and WA is more known for its seafood than anything.
So bottom line, I have not found good BBQ anywhere in this town, and this restaurant continues this trend. If you absolutely have to have fatty meat with loads of sauce which isn't that good, this is a great place to go. If you want real, scrumptious, smoked meat which has been carefully tended to, I have no idea where to go, and I would love to find out.
