Never been to Famous Dave's but damn the pickles are good. I get a large jar at Costco. Their pickles are on point and the devil's spit sauce is tasty. Portions are small for what you pay though. $10 is a bit much for a sandwich with a few pieces of meat on it. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

For a chain it's not bad. I'll take our local shops over it any day.
Back in the day though it was really good. Now I find it hot or miss on quality. Sometimes the brisket is such rubber I can barely eat it and other times it's nice and dry with a smoke ring. Not sure if they ship in meat partially or fully done and just finish smoke it or what. Their sauce selection is good though and the devils spit pickles are killer |

Famous Daves is most definitely NOT good bbq.
Dickies is even worse. Come to Kansas City. |

I haven't been to one in several years, but that's because it wasn't very good. If it was the only bbq place in town, I guess I might go there once in a while but I'd probably still be disappointed. Hell, there was in Amarillo right between a bunch of hotels and it still couldn't stay open.

Is Famous Dave's considered to be good BBQ? Nearly all of the BBQ I've had was stuffI smoked. Stilll a rookie. I just wondered what "good" BBQ is like. Ate lunch there today. Had sliced brisket. No. Come to KC and find out what real BBQ tastes like.  They had one here for a bit and it quickly closed lol.

All things considered, Dave's is a dam good place. He is a staple in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Now who can raise their hand and say they ate at the original joint? I can! They made a good showing here in LR, about a year and a half in it went to shit. Place was closed in the last go around of closings. Miss it very much for the StL style ribs. Hayward? Yep, my buddy used to live on the same lake. Awesome place. too bad it burned down.

For me, it's a toss up between Famous Dave's and Mission BBQ. My dad loved Famous Dave's and we'd go to lunch there whenever we got together (that and Hard Times Café). Mission BBQ catered an FBI shoot at Quantico and they do a shitload of stuff for Wounded Warriors plus they serve really tasty chow. Their baked beans are fucking AWESOME!!! |

The ones I have been to here in Phx have been fine.
Some people come in here to hate on everything. No matter what restaurant or fast food chain you mention, the haters will be in to tell you that its pure, unadulterated shit. Sometimes I really doubt they have ever eaten at the places they hate on. Take their negativity with a very large grain of salt. |

I like their Hot Link sausage that comes on the Manhandler sammich. I don't understand why more BBQ places don't have sausage on the menu. I've never actually been to a real bbq place, just chain's for the most part. But it's a sin damn it. Anytime I grill or smoke, you better believe a kielbasa, at minimum, is joining the party.

I'm lucky enough to have some independent 'mom and pop' authentic bbq places nearby....but in a pinch if I weren't in the area, famous Daves is ok. Recently discovered Mission BBQ....another chain place....food was better than Daves and I like the theme. Seems like the ARFCOM chain of BBQ. I plan to put a LaRue 'God bless our troops' on the wall at the local one next time I go.

Have to agree with the good for a chain commnents, and I buy bottles of the Devil's Spit sauce for home. I put it on a lot of foods...
I miss when I was travelling a lot for work to Birmingham. We'd do Jim N Nick's or Dreamland each like once a week when we were there. |
