I'm trying to eat less meat but the boyfriend loves meat and he wanted barbecue so we decided on Famous Dave's since we both have never been.
We came around 9:30 PM on a Sunday night, 30 minutes before they were closing. We were gonna come earlier but The Walking Dead was on and it didn't end til 9 PM.
Our waitress was Stephanie and I thought she was great! She was very friendly and bubbly! The manager even said hi and welcomed us as he walked by.
Even though I'm trying to eat less meat, I still ordered the Texas Beef Brisket w/mac and cheese, and fries (can't go to a BBQ place and not eat meat). My boyfriend ordered the combo with the ribs and brisket w/mac and cheese, and fries. The brisket was tender and full of flavor. I didn't try any of the bf's ribs but he said it was good even though it was not "fall off the bone ribs". I liked the mac and cheese as it had bits of jalapeno in it to give it a little kick, however my bf didn't care too much for it. We both liked the fries, it wasn't greasy.
I noticed that the host seated a huge party of 10 or 12 people about 5 minutes before closing time, and I thought that was really cool of them. I'm not sure how many restaurants out there will still seat a huge party right before closing time.
I only ate half my meal so I got a to-go box but ended up leaving it on the table when we left. I remembered when we were already in the car and were about to leave the parking lot. My boyfriend tried going back in but they had already locked the doors so he ended up calling the restaurant. The manager answered and he was nice enough to bring the to-go box out to my bf who was waiting outside.
