I'm a big fan of BBQ, and I'm a very forgiving BBQ fan. As long as the meat is cooked right, and you offer me an assortment of sauces, I'm sold.
Somehow I've lived under a rock, and never visited a Famous Daves before. I know they are a chain, so I had higher than usual expectations for the food being consistent.
I ordered the Georgia Chopped Pork, and my father had the spare ribs.
We ordered Baked Beans. Potato Salad, and mac and Cheese for sides and shared.
The Pork was good. It was a little dry, but I drowned it in multiple sauces, and it tasted good. The potato salad was wonderful, just the right amount of flavor without being over powering. Same with the beans, There were sizable chunks of meat mixed in with the beans and it was De-lish.
The Mac and Cheese was awful, and that's saying something because I hardly meet anything with cheese I haven't loved. No only was it "spicy" with Jalapenos (which I never felt like had a place in Mac and Cheese) but the flavor was missing something. Neither myself, nor my father could place WHAT it was missing, but we left it.
The service was great, even with our server with a 12 top and 6 top (that we could see) in addition to us. Very friendly, made great recommendations, and kept our drinks topped off.
I'm sure I will go back, since it's so close to him, but it is a bit generic for BBQ. I think I prefer Lucilles to Daves... and that is also quite close.
