    Beef Brisket

    Management reached out to me and explained there was a transition of receiving not quality brisket. She apologized and issued me a credit!

    Chicken tender platter

    Husband and I gave Dave's a try, he was craving ribs. Walked in and was cheerfully greeted and taken to a booth. Our waitress came right over and greeted us and took our drink order. Husband ordered full slab of baby back ribs and I ordered the chicken tenders. Our dinners came in a timely fashion and were piping hot. Chicken tenders were delicious and a good portion, baked beans tasty and mashed potatoes hot and tasty also. Meal came with a cornbread muffin, yum. I ordered ranch dipping sauce and it was very good. Husband was disappointed with his ribs because they needed to be cooked longer and therefore were tuff, not the fall off the bone kind. For 31.00 it was a letdown. He liked his sides and the service was excellent. Dave you need to cook your ribs longer please! Still, we had a nice time and I thoroughly enjoyed my dinner.

    First time at Famous Dave's, conveniently located in the same shopping center as JOANN Fabric and Christmas Tree Shop. I placed an online pickup order for the Iris' Down Home Fried Chicken Platter -White Meat Only. The price increased to $20.99 as of December 2022. Some online menus state that it still costs $16.99. The platter comes with four pieces of fried chicken, cornbread, and two sides. I chose the french fries and beans. I also ordered a cup of chili ($4.99). The fried chicken was hot and right out of the fryer. The skin was crispy, and the meat was tender and juicy. The chili was delicious and slightly spicy. You can request that it comes with cheddar cheese and a side of onions at no extra cost. I like that the fries don't have added salt, but they could be crispier. The beans and cornbread were on the sweet side but good. My friend preferred if those sides had more spice than sweetness. Delicious southern food made to order. I would eat here again.

    Egg rolls !!! Do try !

    Let's just start by saying ... BRAVO to Sam & Mel at the Taylor location! Their service and attention they showed me was outstanding and it's greatly appreciated. Customer service is lacking big time in most places so I applaud these ladies double time! We all have our quirks but like most people over the past several years I've become more obsessive regarding cleanliness of establishments, businesses etc. I'm a straight up bonafide germaphobe (within reason), proud distant relative to Monk! lol ...so cleanliness of establishments means a lot to me. Sam and Mel both were attentive to those needs and kept checking on me to make sure all was well. The food was outstanding, please DO try the egg rolls (if still on menu) great flavor! A big shout out to Sam and Mel, I'll see you guys soon enough!

    Famous Dave's is a classic chain to grab some yummy BBQ favorites! Everything at Famous Dave's is served up quickly & piping hot. The decor brings me right to Texas. Please be sure to get all the staples: ribs, mashed potatoes, corn casserole, cornbread, and don't forget the dessert!

    I always liked famous Dave's but it seem to just be like another place. Nothing has changed but the food is always good. I was dying for some great friend chicken and cat fish. And I got Just that.

    Grandmas 89th Birthday was made even more special by the wonderful waitstaff who went above and beyond today treating her like a Queen on her special day

    Catfish, rib tips, mashed potatoes, corn, and cornbread  It would have been amazing if it came out the kitchen hot

The interior decor is nice, it obviously car themed hence the name. They have 2 bars and plenty of tables to accommodate large parties. I opted for a turkey burger with green beans to keep things healthy. I enjoyed both. The waitress mentioned the green beans are crunchy but that's the way I like them. I suppose if you like yours a bit more cooked, then ask to have them sautéed longer but I liked them how they were. I heard so many good things about this place so I was happy to finally stop by. I can't wait to come back. They also have a location in Utica now.

Today's food is perfect. We had a burger bowl that was - to me - like a deconstructed burger; another person had the fish and chips that were good and served crisp and hot; and another had the meatloaf and it was served with brown gravy and two sides. Two points that knocked down the score bar service was tooooo slow. I was going to have a second beer and by the time waitress came to apologize about long delay and frustration with bar service, I told her to cancel it. Second, the waitress had to be reminded to bring drink refills after we asked for them. She apologized and got them right away. But, it added to our frustration of delays. No matter my two points, I do recommend this restaurant. Usually, service is better and the burgers are GREAT!

    I was recently in Detroit and decided to try Gus's World Famous Fried Chicken through DoorDash, and…read moreit was a great choice. The chicken still had a nice crisp to it, which is always a gamble with fried food. The flavor absolutely delivered: perfectly seasoned with that signature spicy kick that builds without overwhelming. Juicy on the inside, crispy on the outside--exactly what you hope for. The sides held their own too. The mac and cheese was creamy and comforting. If I had one note, it would be that the spice level might catch you off guard if you're not expecting it. But personally, I love spicy food, so no complaints there. Overall, a great experience even via delivery. I'd definitely order again, and next time I'm in Detroit, I'd love to try it fresh in person.

    I ordered the 2-piece dark meal with mac and cheese, and honestly this was one of the worst meals…read moreI've had in a long time. First, the packaging threw me off.. they don't even put the food in a proper container. The chicken was just tossed into a bag on a piece of parchment paper with a slice of hard white bread. It didn't feel sanitary or appealing at all. The chicken itself tasted old, dry, and chewy with barely any flavor. It also didn't look appetizing, which was already a red flag before I even started eating. I kept hoping it would get better, but it didn't. The mac and cheese looked promising when I opened it, but it was very bland and lacked flavor completely. To make things worse, I paid extra (75 cents) for ranch and never even received it. Overall, this experience was a huge disappointment. I don't like leaving negative reviews, but this was honestly a 0/10 for me.

This is a German restaurant in name only. Service was sub-par. My party sat for 10-15 minutes before water was offered. Ordered appetizers and our dinners. Dinners came first followed five minutes later by appetizers. My order of Chicken paprikash was lukewarm and I could find very little chicken in it. I was so hungry I regrettably ate it that way. Waitress never checked back if everything was ok or if we wanted another round of drinks. I generously give two stars because the Weihenstephaner Dunkel on draft is a rare find and the German egg rolls are outstanding. Other than that, our visit was sehr enttäuschend (disappointing)

There are so few German restaurants (although they have other options). It's a cute place with long tables that can be for bigger groups or communal dining. The servers were great and checked in on us regularly, and helped us figure out the different options and specials. The spaetzle bowls are pretty big and you can either share or bring some home. The schnitzel was good, but not big enough to share. The paprikash bowl was also tasty. The German potato salad was a real standout, give it a try. Prices were reasonable.
