Yelp.com Review - by samuel a.

3.0 of 5 stars. I like good BBQ, and while I would consider Famous Dave's very solid for a chain restaurant. I think it could be a tad cheaper, as after food, drink, tax and tip it was $27 - but then again I ate a...

3.0 of 5 stars. Well, you know Utah is supposedly famous for big families. So, you would think that a huge group dining at a family restaurant would get great service, right? Well, that wasn't our experience at...

Amazing BBQ in SLC

Before coming to Utah, I thought that the best BBQ I had tried was the Salt Lick in Austin,TX, but now that I have tried Famous Daves, I don't regret moving to Utah from Texas, as I can still enjoy great BBQ....

Mediocre at Best

I'm from Chicago and love great ribs! The ribs at Famous Dave's were mediocre at best. We're baby back rib fans because they are so tender and moist-Famous Dave's doesn't even offer them! The "charred" flavor...

Good sauce adn just average ribs

Plenty of sauces to try, most are good. Do try the Devil's Spit. It's not hot. Potato salad was ech. Ribs are smoked and held, then grilled to reheat. Poor method and ruins the flavor.

NOT the Best BBQ in Layton

OK so this chain of 132 restaurants is better than Tony Roma's, so what. The ribs are good, but if you want the best in Utah go to Q4U (West Valley). The sides from Famous Dave's are pitiful. Tony Roma has far...

I had the brisket and pulled pork. The brisket was tender and perfect for slathering in Dave's great assortment of sauces. I like the sweet/hot sauce myself. The pulled pork was tender like always. Very nice!...

Something Fishy Here

Famous Daves has something besides barbeque, Fish! They have several fish related items on the menu that you would expect of a North Woods Eatery. I highly recommend the Catfish Fingers!
