Arrived at restaurant and was given an option for booth or table. Waiter asked for beverage preferences. We ordered our food and it was delivered quickly. Enjoyed every bite and even had some leftovers to enjoy at home.

Went for a birthday dinner. We had aged 7-67. Great service and atmosphere. They even brought out a HUGE ice cream sundae for the birthday boy (we'll, he's 32 now) with enough spoons for everyone to share 😊

I remember going to famous Dave’s for birthdays growing up and it used to be delicious. My ribs were so dry I ended up throwing them away at home. Brisket tasted like it was warmed up. Server took our orders, and brought us the check. Never saw her outside of that. We went for my daughter’s birthday and I remember they used to sing and have big candles. None of that, very disappointed in how this place is ending up. The bill was 55 bucks, I wish I would’ve just gotten my kiddo McDonald’s, at least it would’ve been warm and enjoyable

Famous Dave's has the best BBQ recipes of all the chain restaurants. Much much much better than Dickey's. The manager at this location really cared to make sure the food was cooked right. The ribs were seasoned well, slow cooked until tender and juicy.
I would definitely go here again!

Meats tasted like 3 day leftovers. Dried out brisket, My burger was cold, used to be a great place to eat. Not so much anymore. Waitress was great! The place needs a major cleaning, don't look up.

Ordered the Feast for 2 using a discount from Uber Eats - this platter was epic!
Brisket and toast, ribs, chicken, beans, Cole slaw, corn cob, corn muffin and fries - wow! More than 2x what you see in the pic. Truly a feast
I hadn’t had Famous Dave’s in probably 15 years before this, but hit the spot on a random spring into summer evening

Went there for lunch several times! The service has always been top notch! The food is very delicious! And it's a very family oriented place to eat! We always get a table with chairs because I use a walker and it's hard to get in a booth! Our service is always unbelievable! I love to go there! I'm going to take more of my friends there next week

This visit was the best rib tips I've ever had! We've been to Dave's hundreds of times over the years, I was going almost daily for lunch, for quite awhile. I usually get the rib tips, sometimes catfish, but this order of rib tips was spectacular. Flavorful, juicy, perfect temp to dive in, & as usual, I had some extra for lunch the next day.
I used to be 10 minutes from the Forest Lake Dave's, but now I live near Menomonie & the Eau Claire Dave's is about 45 minutes away. We don't get there often, but I'm always looking forward to the next time...
If I had the money, I would definitely build a Famous Dave's in Menomonie!

Service was outstanding. The atmosphere and the food is what you expect from a Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que. I’ve never been in one that had a bar before. It looked clean and well maintained. I was disappointed there wasn’t a lunch menu (deals) and the prices were kind of high for lunch. But that could just be the new normal for these days.

After not eating here for years, I decided to give it a shot. First off, it was very cold in the restaurant. The tables were unkept and sticky as well as drips of food on the window sills and paper towel holder. The chicken tenders were very hard to bite into as if they were over-fried or sat under a warmer too long, the cheese curds were $12 and it was a very tiny portion. I ended up not eating a lot of my food, it was not worth the $30 per person we paid.

So, I've got used to and perhaps spoiled by the quality of Famous Dave's Apple Valley branch in MN.
The menu is fairly different and the chicken provider whoever that is certainly provides a higher quality.
I want to love this branch but every time it let's me down. Perhaps I would have thought better of it if I had not seen what its true potential is.
Suggestion to people craving grilled and bbq: go to Grizzly's
Suggestion to this branch: try, taste, and copy the MN branch.

We come here every few months and get the family feast for my husband, my daughter, and I.
This last time they took away some of their less popular bbq sauces on the tables and now only have 3 available.
The chicken was very moist and tender. Cornbread muffins were flavorful.
This time we tried the pork nachos for an appetizer. I was not impressed with the size or flavor for the price. I would not order again.
Our waitress was not very friendly this time. Not sure if we will be back for awhile.

Ordered a feast for my wife and I to share.
Meats arrived cool/cold, we dont have time to wait around for food to be remade.
Waitress did not check up on the table for the entire duration of the visit.
Meal was supposed to come with cornbread, but no cornbread was given to us. Waitress was unsure about the process and only offered to give it to us to-go which is crazy to hear.
Why would we want cornbread to go? It was to be eaten with the meal.
After being very stern that I'd like a discount on the meal due to the missing items, it took quite some time for her to come back and tell us the manager approved a $5 discount to the bill.
That's about the cost of a single drink.
Meal is overpriced for the lack of food given. $30 something for 3 single ribs, 1 scoop of pork, and a small bit of chicken.
Wont be coming back to this location due to this experience.

The service was great. I got the nachos with brisket. The food was good, but for how much I paid for nachos they didn't put very much meat at all on the nachos. I been to several different locations and they're all about the same. Good food just doesn't seem like a good value for food versus how much they charge.

So my family and I ordered a platter. Which included rib tips, boneless wings, chicken tenders, onion strings, and cat fish. Rib tips were fatty cardboard smothered in salt, boneless wings were so hard you couldn't enjoy them, cat fish was super salty as were the onion strings, and the chicken strips were over cooked and mostly breading. Was a first experience here and unfortunately probably the last. We don't eat out much as it is way too expensive, but even more painful when you can't enjoy the meal! We did tip well as it wasn't our waitresses fault for the lack of food enjoyment. But also she could have been a bit more attentive. We only got one refill out of 3 drinks, at almost $3 a drink.... Yeah

Food is Famous Dave standard, so I could of given it a five if i was going by the standard, but I am comparing it to other chain restaurants. Service was a bunch of kids who were confused, but thumbs up for them for getting a job. Atolmosphere was neat, but you can get lost in there. A lot of rooms. Thanks for the food!

The food was good, but the bartender made it seem pretty clear that she didn't want me there, prompted me to order to go, and after dropping off my food never came back, repeatedly walking past me trying to settle up, then one of the servers from the dining room noticed and cashed me out.

Stopped in for Valentine’s dinner, we decided to just do a sampler platter and all I can say way not impressed at all! The few pieces of meat we got to try were terrible! Ribs were so dark on the outside you couldn’t even bite through them, you could see the huge chunks of fat and extremely dry! We each took a bite of the catfish fingers and they ended up getting thrown away! So what was left was chicken and that was good but when your known for a good meat place I don’t think I’ll be returning! I’m not a food critic and never complain but I felt the need to after going here tonight!

I also had the garlic mashed potatoes and they were good as well. I always like the ambience and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Cold beer and fantastic food, what more could a person ask for. Go, go now and order the burnt ends! Tell them A Gal About Town sent you.
