Then, our Pitmasters hand-apply our fresh dry rubs before slow-smoking them in a live-wood smoker stoked with genuine hickory logs. To lock in that deep-down smokiness, each tender cut is finished on the grill, creating our famous char-grilled sweetness on the outside. Our tender, juicy ribs and chicken are amazing straight from the grill or topped with one of our award-winning sauces.

Went out to eat with 2 other couples and had a great evening. Had no problem being seated and had a very good waitress named Heaven. Even though she seemed to be swamped with tables she stayed on top of our refills and our table. Kudos 👏

I’ve been a customer of this restaurant for many years. I’ve bragged about the food to family and friends. However, after my latest experience I will NEVER eat here again. I took my family here to celebrate my sons 13th birthday because this was his favorite BBQ spot. Upon arrival the place was empty, the host made it seem as if it were a problem that we had a party of 6 and took about 5 minutes to find a place to seat us in a empty restaurant. Once finally seated the the server introduced herself and she was professional and doing her best. We ordered our food ( which was priced higher than

Sat at the and ordered dinner. Staff was amazing and the bar was clean. Food however was not good for the price. Got the brisket. No fat cap on it which would explain why it was over cooked and dry. Bummer. Daughter ordered the ribs and pulled pork which were very good. Pork was juicy and tender. Just a bummer about the brisket.

We ordered a hickory smoked turkey feast. The food was phenomenal and easily prepared. The macaroni and cheese was particularly a hit. The mashed potatoes were great. Really, everything was tasty. I've also dined in at Famous Dave's and the barbecue is top-notch.

Famous Dave's was not our cup of tea. The meat was tough and the sauce was gross. The training waitress was good, but the head waitress i could tell was getting tired of our requests. The drink I had was good though. Once the food got to us it was semi warm. It just wasn't up to par for any of us. I fave them 2 stars because of my drink.

Got the Feast for 2 and it was stupedous!! The brisket was the best cut I have had. It was marblized and extremely tender. The famous ribs we great and they had 3 bbq sauces to choose from. One of the few places that i have found in the area that serves collard greens.

Food was good, but not amazing. The service was excellent though; it was fast, quick, and accurate. The atmosphere is cool but while we were there (Sunday afternoon) the restaurant was pretty empty so it was kind of quiet. I can imagine on a Friday or Saturday night it would be a great spot to swing by!

Food is good. No burnt ends available they have thr rib tips all you can eat, 20 minutes been waiting for the next plate of 3 oz refill of ribs each refill of rib tips... no refills yet and our waitress is doing something else. Bad service, bad all you can eat service today for us.. don't know how they serve the others but us it was bad. The food is good bur the all you can eat means wait a long time before the next 3 oz plate of refill of ribs come in. The photo is the size of the refill plate. I gave them one star for the server and another for the food. The 3 other stars i didn't give is one

The overall experience was OK but could have been a lot better. As often the case, attention to details is what separates good restaurants from mediocre ones. The service was good but the place wasn't busy so it's hard to measure it accurately. As someone else commented, the fries were not what was advertised on the menu and the server made no effort to explain the discrepancy. The pulled chicken was not bad but lacked the flavors one tends to associate with BBQ joint offerings.
