Justin RobinettDecember 22, 2016LOVE Famous Dave's. It's a must stop when flying out of MDW 25min away from Rental return. $1 pints were amazing.
Try the lunch special (ends at 4 pm) to get a combo meal for a good price.
ᴡ RomeroJuly 26, 2015The feast for two was well worth it !!! The lemonade was strong just like I love it I will definitely go there again!!💜
William QuiñonesFebruary 8, 2020Good ribs, the burnt end were squares instead of brisket ends actually.
Leonard WinstonDecember 9, 2011The St. Louis-Style Spareribs are great. (the southside ribs are good BUT I'll stick with the st Louis)- Angela VaughnMarch 11, 2013The burnt ends do not taste as good as Oklahoma Joe's in Kansas City or Q's in LaGrange, IL.

@JessicaLaShawn www.JessicaLaShawn.orgJune 5, 2012Pay attention to the signs they have cheaper prices posted than what's on the menu
if it's your first time here, go for the all american feast...a little bit of everything.
