SO yum!
Detroit M.

They CLOSED my all-time favorite Famous Dave's and moved it out of the marina and AWAY from Cedar Point. What a totally awful move. What was once great food, a beautiful setting, and upbeat service is now GONE. Bad move, FD and Six Flags.

Dave's Sassy BBQ Salad

This new location feels disconnected from Cedar Point. The service was extremely slow. It took 40 minutes to get our appetizer... our server never provided refills on our water. The prices seem very high for what you're getting. They've raised their prices and also made the portions smaller. I'll include pics of our salads that were $18 a piece.

Much love from the Yelp community!

On one given day of what was to be all that's good we ventured to Famous Dave's for what was to be only how famous can you ask enough that they are doing it so right with all the delicious variations of bbq you can think of! Well to start our server Ariana was awesome she was totally on her game with knowing all the different sauces as well as the menu fully with also being able to answer any of the questions we might have again and again! So we started off with the onion strings as for me onion rings are pretty much a must with BBQ and here was no exception as they are just yummy especially with the many different BBQ sauces they have here at Dave's so these were pretty much your typical onion strings but still super yummy all around so you really can't go wrong with them! The sauces here are what really did it for me as each one was delicious and unique to it's own flavor when it comes to sauces I'm all about that as I just love the diversity between something that's the same but definitely not my favorite of them being the hottest one on the table when it wasn't really hot for me but it might be for some others and if that weren't enough they brought me another sauce that's even hotter and only available by request I forgot what it was called but it was definitely yummy! Now it comes down to the main course the brisket and the chicken both of these were cooked perfectly and just all around delicious BBQ goodness you can ask for as the meat was tender and the brisket was just the way it should be! The fries were fries yummy for what they were and even better with some of one of the different variety of sauces on them to make it all good. The jalapeño mac&cheese was definitely the better of the sides as it just had a great balance to it as it wasn't hot but just flavorful and went well with the BBQ that was beside it! Overall this is a great place to grab some BBQ wile at Cedar Point as it's just outside the park on the marina side so you can come eat some goodness and get right back in as there's another entrance just across the street it's for that reason as I'm sure I'll be back here again at some point for what's good!

Burnt Ends--Sandwich

Seemed more expensive than a typical Famous Dave's. Inflated prices could be due to the fact that they are a part of Cedar Point. Food and drinks were good. Restaurant was clean. They have a sink in the dining area where you can wash your hands. Server was nice, even though she didn't know much about the menu. I didn't like how the manager checked on certain guests, but not all of the guests in the restaurant. I think everyone could use some additional customer service training. The restaurant is outside of the park and its situated next to a marina. Definitely give it a try if you haven't done so. It's not great, but it's not bad either.

I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was delicious and the service was great. Famous Jessica was a wonderful server, great personality and prompt service when it came to refills and sauce requests. The hostess was great as well. She was so friendly and gave us a couple good laughs. I had the BBQ pulled pork sandwich which was incredible. I opted for the sweet BBQ sauce which I loved. Again, I can't say enough great things. This was the best dining experience I've had in a long time. Highly recommend!!!!

As CLAG Brewing's on site restaurant and bar, we had an amazing experiencing spending an entire…read moreafternoon just enjoying the beer and eating a ton of amazing food. (See separate review for CLAG Brewing.) On arrival, it was mostly empty as it had just opened, but were told it would fill up. That was hard to believe as the place is huge, with multiple bar areas, tables of different sizes, and lots of standing. However, by the time we left it was filled! We sat at the main bar so we could talk to the owner. Our day had started with other breweries, so we were hungry and I'm glad we saved our tummies to dine here. I live in a city with tons of amazing Vietnamese restaurants, but this place blew them all away with maybe the most flavorful pho I've ever had. A huge bowl, not overly salty, with fresh produce and great flavor. Some of their beers are brewed perfectly to go with these zesty citrus flavors, so you really can't go wrong eating and drinking together. As I knew this was my only visit this trip, I also ordered a plate of fried rice which was also fantastic and I loved trying their sauces with it. Prices are so reasonable for the quality here. If you're a fan of Vietnamese food, great beer, and cool vibes, this is a must visit spot!

Love the vibe here, great atmosphere. Trivia guy was super friendly. I love that they did Asian…read morethemed food with the brewery, that is a very rare combination, but awesome. The sours they had were all smoothie type, and I did not like any of their flavors. Fried pork dumplings 9/10 Good dumpling, decent dipping sauce, not super gingery, which was nice for me. Caterpillar roll 10/10 Really good. Didn't really taste the shrimp much, but the flavor profile and combination of ingredients was good. The spicy mayo was not really spicy, but it was a good flavor. Spider roll 8/10 I actually wasn't a huge fan, maybe I don't like soft shell crab as much as regular crab. It was just a little plain to me, and needed either more eel sauce or another sauce in addition.
