    Chicken tender platter
    Deborah H.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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

    I have been to this place a few times and never reviewed it, don't know why…read more When you walk in it definitely has a German theme to it. We decided to sit out at the patio cause it was a nice day. They had a band getting ready to play which was pretty cool. We ordered a couple cocktails I got a Peach Old Fashioned which was very delicious and boozy. As for an appetizer we ordered these Pretzel sticks which were soft and chewy and then the cheese that came with it was delicious. The burger I had was called "Fire Haven" it had onions, tomato and jalapeños on it with 2 hamburger patties, it had lettuce but I asked for no lettuce since we have this parasite going around the U.S. right now, The burger was quite tasty and very fulfilling, the jalapeño had a nice crunch to it and the meat was seasoned very well. I also ordered a German Dunkel beer which I didn't really care for, I thought I would like it cause I love dark beers but I guess I don't like German dark beers. Everything here was so good. We were able to seat ourselves, the waitress, who was also the bartender, serves us our cocktails really fast and just everything was spot on.

    We were visiting Dearborn and since I'm German, went to the Bierkeller with high hopes. Sorely…read moredisappointed. No bratwurst or wurst of any kind and single schnitzel offering. 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)
