    A 3-meat lunch platter is about $15. It has rib, rib tips, sausage. Purchase with gift card ( at Costco or Sam's club), 25% off the price. Purchase with famous Dave app, another 10% off via rewarding points. From time to time, they send promotions for extra discount. You actually pay $10 dollars or less for this meal. This is the best offer among the restaurants I went. Meat quality, portion, and flavor are great! Spend less, eat well!

    This is the Happy Hour Menu

    This location has a happy hour, so you can get some nice deals on food. We took advantage of this and got a variety of food to share. We got: The Pulled Pork Sandwich (one each), Southside Rib Tips, Two Bones St. Louis Style Ribs (two each), and fountain beverages. Everything was delicious and fresh. We appreciate that Famous Dave's has been working hard to regain their status as a great place to get barbecue. We took home some of the food that was left, as our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. Even reheated, the food was tasty. We'll certainly return as we go to see movies in Rosedale a fair amount.

    Order 2 family feast, fried pickles, cheese curds, and rib tips. My personal favorite was the rib tips and the ribs itself preferably the baby back ribs though because they were more juicy. Corn bread is also ALWAYS a must have when you come here Requested to have Wilmar's hot sauce on the side because it is fiery good! Service was quick and everything went well. They cleared the tables quick and food was brought out fast. Interior was neat and plenty of parking as well

    Red-skin Mashed Potatoes

    Ordered takeout for Lunch. Texas Beef Brisket, Southside Rib Tips, Garlic Red-Skin Mashed Potatoes and a corn bread muffin. Current price $13.00. Customer Service did a nice job on presentation. For "Minnesota Barbecue" it's pretty decent, the sauce definitely helps kick it up the flavor chart. I was a big fan of the mashed potatoes as well . A filling meal under $15.00.

    Was craving brisket by the pound. $25 per pound. I ordered 1/2 lb. I just assumed it came with no sauce on the brisket but it was sauced. The brisket was much less than 'nothing special'. Ask for extra fatty and there was virtually no fat on it. No flavor. I was disappointed.

    Famous Dave's never lets me down - five stars! After eating BBQ all over the Twin Cities, I have to say that Famous Dave's is worthy of 5 stars. I've never had a bad experience at any location. There's some great BBQ in the Twin Cities. But I think Dave's has them all beat with the large variety on the menu, consistent quality, and fair pricing. I particularly like the "Feast for Two" so I can try a bit of everything. Thumbs up! -Daddy Maxx Retro

    First off I am from Texas (Houston - best city in Texas) and I know a thing or two about great bbq and let me tell you what, famous Dave's bbq is great! Food: moist brisket is so flavorful and tasty. Do not get the lean brisket. Get the moist. The jalapeño cheese sausage is simply amazing! The put the brisket on a piece of Texas style toast, so good. They also put the sausage on top of some of that Texas toast too. Such an nice extra touch to compliment the amazing meats. The rib ends are pretty good too. All the meat is smoked like real bbq should be! The sides are so dam good too! I got the Mac n cheese and it was very tasty. The dirty rice was really good as well. Amazing sides! The bbq sauce is so good too! Service: Christina is such a professional. She took good care of me! I will definitely stop in next time I'm on the area. From a real lover of great bbq, do yourself a favor and try this place. You will not be disappointed. How could I forget. They give you this little muffin that is so dam good!

    Burger special Mi day, .50 each for lettuce and tomato  BYO Sandwich BYO Sandwich

    Burger special Monday and I paid extra for this lettuce and cheese I understand it's a burger special but wow. I ended up paying $10.50 for the $4.50 special.50 for that slice of tomato and another .50 for that one partial lettuce leaf-- the part we usually throw away at home? I am disappointed, all three of our specials came like this.

    Supposed to be peach cobbler
    B Z.

    Already posted this to Google but figured I should post it here too. This place is alright but I was really disappointed when I opened up the "peach cobbler" that they gave me and found this milky nastiness inside. I ordered take out and I'm not about to go back so the rest of my food goes cold for them to replace it, so I guess I just wasted my money today. Peach cobbler is my favorite dessert and is the reason I came to this location specifically. Really disappointed.

    Classic Georgia pork
    Alysha W.

    Famous Dave's is a restaurant who specializes in bbq. They are pretty decent but not the best bbq ever. Restaurant: there is a counter when you walk in where you order, they give you a number to set at your table for them to bring your food to. They have plenty of tables and some of them do expand to make them bigger. Service: the manager did come around and ask us how things were but other then that the service was fine nothing wonderful or subpar about it. Food: normally I would give them four stars but I brought my rating down to three because of my meat. My mom and I both got the classic Georgia pork. Hers was fine, mine had the actual end of the meat and a ton of fat. I was really disappointed because it made it not super appetizing anymore then. That being said the parts that weren't fatty were good and my moms was perfectly fine. I got mine with the beans which have some kick to them. I also got the corn on the cob. This particular platter also comes with a corn muffin (these are sooo good I always order extra to-go) Overall I'm sure we will be back, however I really hope today was a fluke and I get better meat next time.

    Feast For 2; chicken and coleslaw on the side

    We had a fantastic experience at this location; I don't understand the many bad reviews. We came on a Saturday for lunch and received excellent thoughtful quick service, delicious food (including pie) and the location is clean and looks newer or recently redone.

The menus appear to be the same, the spaces are large enough to accommodate big crowds, the service is efficient and friendly, and the food is consistent. The open layout is appealing and fits the "classic diner" vibe perfectly. The other thing they share is HUGE portions. For example, my wife ordered the "short stack with bacon." It sounds innocent enough, but the pancakes are the size of hubcaps and stuffed with what feels like a bushel of blueberries. That's not a bad thing, but my wife ended up taking home about 3/4 of it--which turned into several more breakfasts! By the way, the pancakes were incredibly fluffy and flavorful. I had the hot turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy. Again, it was a massive portion, but I heroically finished it all. The mashed potatoes seemed scratch-made and the gravy was plentiful. I liked the turkey, though I'm not entirely sure it was roasted in-house. The menu says "real turkey," and while I'm sure that's true, as a bit of a turkey fanatic, the flavor was just slightly different than what I'm used to. Regardless, I really enjoyed it. Fat Nat's clearly has their act together; all three locations are remarkably consistent. For a hearty breakfast or lunch, this place is highly recommended. Pro Tip: Be careful with what children or grandchildren order. Guide them toward the kid's menu or make sure they order conservatively from the main menu--unless you're looking to bring home a week's worth of leftovers!
