I am not entirely sure why this place is called famous Dave's. Maybe I need to try the brisket or the pork or something else on the menu because the ribs were terrible. Extremely dry and very tough. You can tell they cook these ribs over direct heat as the bones were chard as well as some of the crust. Full disclosure: I've been smoking meats for years so I know what good Q looks like. Maybe they're famous for the sauce because I have to say it was pretty good however when ribs come out with sauce on it that is an indication to me that it's going downhill from there. I'll stop back by and give these guys one more shot and I'll try something else on the menu and update my post at that time.
