    Delish Chili
    Donna R.

    Great Food and Service! The Iris's Fried Chicken is consistently good! It is perfectly fried in the tastiest batter and always juicy! The St. Louis Ribs are mine and my husband's favorite compared to any restaurant! The Caesar Salad is terrific! My husband is hooked on the chili. Jordan, our server enhanced our experience with his humor and prompt, right on target service. He knew what we needed before we said anything! Great Famous Dave's!!!

    Solid place for BBQ. We opted for a higher protein meal and while we were weary of it being a chain restaurant, this did not disappoint! Everything was well seasoned and cooked to our liking. Loved the cornbread muffin! Staff was friendly and efficient.

    Finally trying this place since it's near my work. They have great deals each day of the week. Came on Monday for their lunch specials. Ribs and chicken were great and fall off the bone. Flavorful and didn't even require additional sauce, think the taste is great. Mashed potatoes were alright- kinda bland..needed more seasoning and salt. Cornbread muffin was delicious. I might try the cheeseburger next time since I saw that was reviewed highly.

    They got corn in it

    They got collard greens and corn in the Mac and cheese. So f****ing upset. Stiff unseasoned meats. But best barbecue sauce and cornbread I ever had

    Too bad they shut down some of their outposts up north but it was nice to taste their above average BBQ down in Virginia. This location was fairly small but fortunately the food was still as I remembered it to be. Too bad they don't offer baby back ribs here but at least they still had their excellent dry rub option for their spare ribs. Coupled with their always excellent (and spicy) Devil's Spit sauce, it was an excellent meal all around. Their fries were still nice and crispy (and paired nicely with the BBQ sauce) and the cole slaw, cornbread etc were all good. The service here was nice and food got to the tables pretty quickly. Generally speaking the place was ok tho not particularly clean in some areas, especially the bathroom. However, all in the food is good and just as consistently yummy as I remembered eating this years ago in NYC. All in, you can't go wrong here if you're hankering for some ribs or BBQ in general

    I haven't been to a Famous Dave's in I don't know how long. Used to be a favorite eat and drink location a job ago. I wanted some BBQ and nobody does BBQ like Famous Dave's. I rolled in around 5 pm sunday night. Not as busy as I expected with the end of the football season on the TV. I head for the bar and grab a seat. I order a devil's backbone and look at the menu. It hasn't changed too much which is fine. I'm watching the tube, sipping my beer and Leo behind the bar introduces himself and I decide on the two meat combo. I have enjoyed this in the past. I'm onto my second brew and the food arrives. The beans and ashed potatoes are excellent. The only complaint here is the portion size is on the small size. The chicken is excellent and brisket is a little spicy but very tender. Cold brews, good food. No problems here.

    Got the feast for 2, it was plenty and filling. Food was delicious and service was great.

    Manager hung up on me when I called about an incorrect order. Apparently her job is more than she can handle.

    Delivery review ahead!…read more I have not yet visited this place in person so I'm unsure how it is inside and how the service is. Delivery: well packaged for a long trip to DC and it remained fresh and hot. Food: Sweet potato tater tots El Lomo Saltado Both of these selections were AMAZING! The sweet potato tater tots were genius! Perfectly prepared, packing flavor in each bite. The El Lomo Saltado was DIVINE! Allow me to break down the flavors: Biscuit: gosh this biscuit was buttery and soft. And yes, the juices from the steak did not make it soggy. But back to the biscuit...the top was flaky and the inside was soft! Soft and buttery. Egg: I asked for a well done fried egg (the main dish contains over easy) the egg was perfectly cooked and delicious. Steak: the steak pieces were generous and the seasoning on the meat...dangerous! There was a slice of provolone cheese melted on the egg and the sandwich also contained pieces of potatoes and tomatoes inside. All of the flavors in this biscuit meshed together so well, making this a reallllllllllllllly good sandwich. Now I'm sold! What other fun dishes can I try on their menu?!

    Preservation Biscuit Co. is such a standout and definitely worth the drive…read more I ordered the el lomo saltado and it was incredibly yummy--rich, savory, and perfectly balanced, with tender meat and bold flavor that really hit the spot. The surprise star of the meal was the tater tots. They were genuinely divine: crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and dangerously addictive. Every bite was satisfying. The food feels thoughtful and well-executed, the kind of place you keep thinking about after you leave. Definitely worth a visit, and I can't wait to come back and try more! The service was down to earth and the shop is quaint. You might need to wait for a seat to open, but it moves quickly!
