In Short
Eat at this chain and you'll swear the Mason-Dixon line moved to Saskatchewan. The weathered-looking wooden walls of Dave's shacks are decked out with roadside signs and cute pig paintings. You stand in line to order, then take a numbered wooden pig to your table. The sandwiches and platters (including Texas beef brisket and Georgia chopped pork) are filling, but favorites include a mess of St. Louis-style ribs, sticky with Dave's own award-winning sauce.

For the life of me I haven't figured out why there are so many Famous Dave's in Minnesota. I have had the rib sandwich platter, the baby back ribs (full) and St. Louis style (full) meals and remain to be impressed. The only thing going for them is that they seem to have a monopoly on ribs and that's why they get business. The staff has always been friendly and the restaurant always appears clean. The prices are VERY high for the product and truly keeps me from frequenting Famous Dave's more often. If you're feeling like ribs and have an alternative - i'd pick the alternative.

My friend and I went here for lunch and had a wonderful time. The waitress was attentive and very friendly and was not bothered at all by our 4 kids. The waitress was very patient with us and offered a lot of suggestions as to what to order. The managers that were working that day were also great. They stopped by and talked with our kids and automatically brought out extra crackers and napkins. Their interactions did not feel at all put-on. The food came quickly and was very, very good. My meal was a bbq chicken sandwhich and it was moist and tender with great taste. My friend had a bbq chicken salad and could not say enough good things about it and she also ate most of her daughters cheeseburger and said that it was one of the best burgers she had had in a long time. The atmosphere was upbeat but not to loud either. The restaurant was very clean as were the restrooms. Me and my friend both left saying what a great time we had because the staff and management really made us feel that we were important and that they appreciated our business. And of course, our food was great. I would go back in a heart beat. PROS: Great staff and management. Good amount of food for the price. CONS: None
