Famous Dave's has earned its place as a nationally recognized Family-Friendly BBQ Restaurant with award-winning flavors.

Famous Dave's Chicago gives back to the community through sponsorships, donations and fundraisers.
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.

Incredibly inconsistent place. I've ordered here 3 times. First time my rib tips were great! Good chat, moist, flavorful. Next two orders dry, barely smoked and cold.
What's the point of having a franchise of not to deliver consistent quality. I'm done with this place. There are much better local options.

The food is good, but the menu is inaccurate and getting a hold of someone with an issue is impossible. This is a carry-out/delivery location only and I ordered directly from the Famous Dave's website, the staff seem to work with multiple restaurants and kitchens in the building and so they can't help with order issues/refunds if you order directly through Famous Dave's (I hate to use Groupon, but at least they will help to correct problems). This was my experience at the beginning of October which I have not received a response:
We ordered the bread pudding which is advertised to come with vanilla

I get that sometimes you are out of stuff, I work in a restaurant too. But if you use GrubHub your staff should know that you need to mark it on the order on the tablet.
Instead they just sent us my partners meal and crossed out mine and said "no salmon". So now I have to spend 30 min on hold with GH to get a refund and was not notified until the food got here. (I would have ordered something else or ordered from elsewhere and at least been able to eat at a reasonable hour.) Marking it as missing on the GH tablet would have taken someone two seconds, and the item would automatically be 86ed.

UPDATE - email provided from owner bounced back.
I had no idea this wasn't an actual restaurant location. I should've read the reviews first before wasting time and money. The food tastes microwaved and dry. I tried to call to get a refund but no answer. Looks like the owner is responding to other reviews with an email. Going to try that and see if we get a response because this is so disappointing.

Ordered the burnt ends platter because I thought there would be a ton of meat you know, considering it’s 23.99. Whatever amount of meat I got couldn’t have been more than what they serve u in the appetizer, which is half the price!?!? So you’re telling me I paid $12+ for two small a*# sides and a piece of cornbread?!?! Highly disappointed
Edit: I understand the Grubhub up charge but it’s also listed on Google as $23.99. Also with no dine in and without the ability to drive there, I will always have to pay that ridiculous price for such a small order. Oh well, I’ll just stick to the other
