Good food but excellent service. KOJO met my expectation as a phenomenal server and went above and beyond. He gave us a great menu tour and offered great selections along with with cooking techniques.
I did not feel like he was up selling me at all but instead describing very well and let us decide how we wanted to dine.
We went with the feast for one (1/4 roast chicken, spare ribs, and brisket) with corn on the cob, baked beans, Mac and cheese, corn muffins, and french fries. We also ordered the "famous hour special" (same as happy hour) barbecue spare ribs tips.
KOJO started off by dropping off some homemade barbecue chips and proceeded to go through all of Famous Dave's signature sauces. From the sweetest to the most spiciest. I enjoy all of their sauces and ended up mixing their spiciest (habanero blend) with their sweetest for a nice balance. The chips were very crispy and well seasoned. KOJO also dropped a lot of knowledge and ingredients of each sauce... Creating an interactive experience.
Next our barbecue spare ribs tip dropped off. It was a very nice portion that came with fries for $6.99! I love how tender those pieces of meat where and kept dipping away in heavenly sauces.
Then bam! Our feast for one was dropped off. What a huge plate! Definitely shareable between two hungry people! The roasted chicken was crispy and juicy. No dryness to detect. The brisket was tender and served on top of a garlic toast. The baked beans were very sweet (a lil too much for me) and my guest loved the Mac and cheese (which had a nice jalapeƱo kick to it). The corn muffin was moist (not the best I've ever had) and the corn on the cob was alright. My only disappointment was the spare ribs were a bit on the drier side, not something I'd expect since the spare ribs tips and chicken were so moist.
After everything, KOJO suggested we take a survey to earn a free dessert which he was happy to pack to-go as we were too full to eat more. The banana pudding was delightful.
Although we did have very few hiccups in food quality, I'd say the service has earned the 1 star from a 3 to a 4. Had we not receive wonderful service from KOJO, my rating would be a 3 star. I'd even go as far as a 4.5 because of KOJO.
I'll give it another shot in the near future!
