    Food was okay except for dessert. The ice cream had a huge piece of ice in it-like maybe it had been scraped from the side of the pail and mixed in. Service was poor in spite of 5 employees hanging around the bar. Waitress was unfriendly & also brought our ticket without asking if we wanted dessert so she had to re-do it. They were not busy as it was early but the table next to us couldn't get service and were ready to leave in spite of the previously mentioned 5 employees standing around and a couple of others wandering through. They finally flagged someone down. Just not a good experience this time. Too much competition in Des Moines barbecue to slack off.

    Stand up job to ALL of the staff here. We arrived here and were greeted immediately by the General manager and were seated right away. Service was quick, while waiting for our food we noticed the hostess cleaning pulling out booths sweeping and wiping everything down. Being a kitchen manager that is amazing to see a team working as a TEAM! And everyone caring about their job!! Hats off to you guys

    Good BBQ here, Dave is famous for a reason. He has made a really good chain restaurant. They have a pretty good selection of bbq and sides here. I usually get brisket and ribs which are always good. I use all of the sauces they offer, since I love sauce on my food. I do like the Texas pit the best. The sides are yummy as well, I like the spicy mac n cheese and the garlic mashed potatoes. This is a great chain, that doesn't have cheap bbq. I know someone places can be watered down, but they do a great job of staying true to their form and serving a quality product..

    WOWZA!!! Delicious BBQ. Legit smoke, good flavor, good sauce. Corn bread was sweet and moist. Chicken was so tender, catfish had a perfectly seasoned crust. Sausage was herby and unique in a good way. Pickles were okay but let's be real, we are here for BBQ. When you think it can't get better, service made it ten times better. Our waiter was VERY attentive!!!!! Superior service!!!!! I would gove ten stars if I could.

    I liked Famous Dave's ok before...but I have to tell you their burnt ends menu is a game changer. Ordered the burnt ends and ribs combo. Wow so good and they hook you up with a nice mound of tasty burnt ends. I will be back again and again for the burnt ends combo. Honestly, this place is as good or better than Woody's smoke shack. I know I am not a certified bbq judge but good is good.

    I've had my fair share of barbecue (including eating my way through Memphis and Kansas City), and Famous Dave's is consistently good barbecue, served in a clean and comfortable atmosphere at a fair price. I love the atmosphere. From the tongue-in-cheek hours on the front door, to the hardwood floors, rustic decorations, and the great blues music playing, you know you're in for some fantastic barbecue. I forgot to mention the great smell of smoke before you even walk in! Everything here is good. I'm a fan of the ribs, and the Memphis-style are done just right -- great bark on the outsides, tasty rub, and the meat is cooked to almost-fall-off-the-bone, but there's still a little bite to it. There's a variety of sauces to fit anyone's tastebuds, and the side dishes are equally stellar. I've had companions tell me the ribs are equally good "wet" (with sauce on them), and the beef brisket is allegedly to-die-for. The service is always friendly and fast. I've never had to wait for a table, and everything comes out faster than I would expect. Famous Dave's is everything you could want in a barbecue restaurant. It may be a chain, but it's a small chain, and everything is done the right way here. Highly recommended.

    I like the ribs that don't fall off the bone and this is the only place to eat ribs for me. My favorite is St Louis style. Last night we ordered a whole slab with cole slaw and fire cracker green beans. The ribs were excellent. Sides were good. Our server accidentally brought us fried potato wedges and they were crunch and very tasty. Good service.

    St. Loius-style spare ribs were great. Corn bread muffin was great. Stay away from the macaroni and cheese -- very processed tasting.

    I've found Famous Dave's to be a bit on the hit or miss side for take out. Either you will get great ribs or you will bring home what seems like a bag full of bones and fat. I've found the dine-in experience to be good. Fast service and friendly wait staff. A clean restaurant. And very reasonable prices. The catfish fingers (which seems a bit over priced) are also very good. The staff is knowledgeable about what they sell (I know, this should be a given, but I've had wait staff before that knew nothing about what the restaurant was selling) and can accurately explain what a menu item is that you may have questions about. I've cut back on the amount of visits to Famous Dave's since I don't dine-in at the restaurant very often and sometimes I don't feel like rolling the dice to find out if I will have a good carry-out experience. But I've not completely written them off.

    Grabbed lunch here on a business trip. Great, speedy, friendly service. The brisket sandwich was stellar.
