We always have Famous Dave's to go at least several times a month. Every meat is smoked and cooked to perfection. The sides are always great in flavor and taste. Highly recommended and is recognized as one of the best barbecue places around.

Arcy and Alicia were excellent in providing great customer service. My husband and I showed up at about 7:57pm not realizing they close at 8pm. Arcy was so kind and she said were you coming to dine in or takeout? We said dine in. She said, "I would seat you but we close at 8, would you like to do takeout?" We said sure we'll do takeout. Arcy went the extra mile in provided the food and making us feel at home although we had to do takeout. Thanks again Arcy and Alicia keep up being Famous! Remember we're all special in the eyes of Jesus Christ! Many blessings
