Over-priced, bloated chain restaurant operation, pre-heated frozen sides
Simply put, this is the same quality of bbq or worse that is made at a restaurant where you stand in line, get a tray, and they serve you cafeteria style.
Exception at Famous Dave's is that they want to sit you down, over-charge you for meat and sides that are pre-made and try and up charge you with drinks so you have to pay more on tip.
Our server was nice enough and we ordered two meat with two sides each for me and my gf. It took 5 minutes for them to get the food out. You know what that tells me? Yeah we shouldn't have to sit down and the server come take our order. The only reason they don't go the traditional route is to charge us extra since 'sit-down dining experience' people expect to pay more. THATS IT.
The meat was good I guess, I had the bbq chicken and pulled pork. The sides were atrocious, mac-n-cheese I can just taste the pre-madeness with injected cheese flavoring, cole slaw was runny. In the end we paid $40 plus tip to $46.
Only come here if you want to pay extra to sit down and have someone bring the food to you.
