Some restaurants have ways to distract patrons from inherent issues that make an average dining experience into something worse. Enter the corporate crafted look of Famous Dave's. While nothing about this franchise location is, in itself a deal breaker, there are enough individual problems to cause concern. To be sure, flavor profiles are well crafted, but when you serve everything at varying degrees of warm instead of hot, one wonders if the microwave is doing the most work. To back track, I started my meal with the chicken with wild rice soup. Flavor was good, but the wild rice was under-cooked enough to be noticeable. Next, the rather anemic sized brisket sandwich. Flavor and seasoning was acceptable, but the meat was dry. The small portioned sides also had good flavor, but were gone in three bites.
