I love great BBQ and this place definitely has it! I always get the ribs or rib tips because it is soooooo damn deeeelish! The cornbread muffin they give you with your meal is sweet and tasty. There...

Yes I know what you are thinking. Why write about the same restaurant (different location from 1st review), on the same day, and with the same rating? Because I just so happened to love the first time...

I'll be the first to admit that the decor here is super tacky. Oh did I mention that I'm not a big fan of barbeque sauce? Yep.Husband and I were starving and were conveniently in the strip mall where...

Back when I was a carnivore, even the mention of this place would make my mouth water. The ribs here are awesome! The bbq sauce is perfect. I could do without the sides, though. They're the exact...

I love how when you step in you feel like you are in the back woods. The service is good and the food plenty. I love how they bring it to you on a platter the is a trash can lid. The different bar-b-que sauces...

I like Famous Dave's, but I don't care for this location. The one in Vernon Hills, IL is much better and friendlier. I think they give you lots of food and their prices aren't that bad for the amount...

While the food was outstanding, our group of 16 had just about the worst service EVER at this Famous Dave's. Even though we called ahead and were assured that tables would be made available, we waited...

Had very low expectations of this place and was pleasantly surprised. First, didn't know they have a bar (there is not one beer sign in the window!). Second, didn't realize that the food would be as...

I used to drop by this place after half days substitute teaching right after I graduated. The menu doesn't stray at all from BBQ, but why should it. The combination plates are great and the bill is...

I think this place is pretty good, considering it is a franchise. The food is tasty, and there are about four different BBQ sauces on the table to suit your taste (spicy, smoky, sweet, etc.).We...

For a place that touts its BBQ offerings, we were utterly disgusted. We called in an order for a slab of rib dinner and BBQ beef sandwich. This ran us just under $30. What we got were 11 individually cut...
