    Brisket, Corn Bread Muffin, corn, catfish, coleslaw
    Josh M.

    I ended going back to this place several times since my last review since it's very close to where I work and let me tell you, my mind has changed. Their service was still great but their food has improved tremendously. Maybe I just got unlucky the first time but I really have started enjoying going to famous Dave's on my lunch breaks. Their lunch prices are fair and they always give special coupons and deals which keeps me coming back!

    picture for before and picture for after , i think you can understand from the pictures , the only thing good there is the pepsi , waiting for 45 min to get that food and then just 5 min and we left , customer service was -45 , if you have an extra 45 min in your life and you want to waste it best plan is famous davis .

    The food and the service was amazing, our waitress was extremely friendly and made our visit very welcoming. I would definitely recommend.

    Amazingly disappointing! Let me start by acknowledging the staff. They were awesome, attentive, and very pleasant. Zero complaints about the service or the people. However the food was exceptionably bad. The brisket was dry like chalk and the wedge fries were entirely forgettable. The salad dressing was runny, almost like the Blue Cheese was watered down. The Roast chicken was good, moist, and had some flavor. The corn bread should be squares cut from a pan and fresh cooked, instead tasted like a store bought corn muffin with a honey glaze spread on top. I was overall disappointed by a large margin. The restaurant sits on far too large a foot print (square space) for the business I saw there. For proof to my point, you need only look at the sad bar space that had less back stock of spirits and liquor than my own home cabinet. I sincerely doubt that the large bar area ever sees a crowd commensurate with its size. Any bar where the bartenders can lock the register and disappear for 10 minutes at a time, does not have the business it needs on a Saturday afternoon during football season. One of the rare 1 star ratings, I've ever dropped.

    The location is easy to get to. Plenty of parking and the inside of the restaurant was neat and tidy. Our server was super nice and made sure our waters were full. I ordered "burnt ends" from the menu. There is an upcharge for this item. I have had burnt ends in the past from other barbeque places and understand why there would be an upcharge. However, what came to the table was not burnt ends. It was diced up meat with a very dark sauce for the "burnt" look. This was disappointing. We were excited for the corn bread having heard how delicious it was. It came to the table and crumbled in our hands when we tried to eat it. Their pickles are great!

    Since I was on my lunch break and in the area at the time I came to this location. The look and feel of this location compared with others that I have been to is alot different but the service was still on par to what Ive come to expect. My food arrived in a relatively fast manner and it was hot and freshly prepared. The wait staff was friendly, polite, and accommodating.

Upon arrival, I was immediately captivated by the venue's exterior, which features stunning, artful murals and inviting outdoor seating options. Stepping inside, the ambiance is remarkably fresh, pristine, and stylish. The decor is thoughtfully curated with charming, unique design touches, and the private seating areas offer a serene, perfectly comfortable atmosphere for a midday meal. The hospitality was top-tier in every respect. Our waitress, Summer, was so exceptionally warm, attentive, and gracious that I simply had to ask for her name. To begin, I ordered a Bloody Mary, which was expertly crafted, crisp, and utterly divine. I was also deeply impressed by their remarkably well-appointed wine list. For my main course, I selected the Smokehouse Hash. I was delighted when it arrived with impressive speed. It was a complete culinary triumph rich, beautifully seasoned, and prepared to absolute perfection. Between the spotless environment, vibrant artistic aesthetic, sublime cuisine, and Summer's stellar service, Culinary Dropout earns absolute full marks from me. A thoroughly marvelous experience I shall most certainly be returning

My friend also ordered the salad with the candied walnuts, and when it came out, it had barely any toppings. She almost was too shy to say something, but I spoke up for her and the kitchen remade her salad with no issue, luckily, it was much better the second time around Our server was super sweet and attentive. I don't think we got a name though. Thank you for a nice time!

It really gave me RVA (Richmond, VA circa early 2000s) nostalgia vibes like for places I worked in around Broadway during college! Wow. Love everything about this place. I'd been going to a lot of coffee shops lately where the style is all like new stuff and new style (which I LOVE) but the style of Tessa Delicatessen was so unexpectedly refreshing. I didn't realize that this part of Colfax was Park Hill! I saw a lot of other interesting places nearby. Can't wait to go back and wander! Not sure if it was the owner that greeted me at the register but she was very friendly and warm. I love the self serve coffee and water and you get to pick a unique mug to drink from. Really strong neighborhood vibe and I think she said it had been open since 2017. So cool! I'm obsessed with the spaciousness and space! My breakfast sandwich did explode all over my hand - so be careful! The egg is soft inside! I got coffee, cheesy hash and the breakfast sandwich. $25 for everything including tip. I think that's a great deal for a lovely morning vibe and breakfast in 2026!
