Roger BrittenMay 2, 20132 Happy hour times. 3-6PM and 9-12Pm. The Happy Hour food is just as good non happy hour.
- Patrick ShermanMay 27, 2012Not as good when they first opened. Rib tips very dry, sides are smaller, brisket is how I remember it.

Rudy KaldorOctober 28, 2014What! You have to pay for the chips. Corn bread is not a muffin style and is smaller. Boo
Timothy ChaddFebruary 15, 2015Have been to Famous Dave's many times across country. Service is worst at this one.
April RiccardinoApril 28, 2013Not the greatest Dave's we have eaten at but not too bad...the ones in Texas are definitely better. In my opinion, not worth the money spent.
