Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que - Famous Daves is Bussin Bussin - Barbeque Near Me - Taylor, Michigan

This is your standard run of the mill BBQ chain. The food was good, the service was okay and the prices weren't too bad. Our food took a really long time to come, the place was pretty busy though, but our server was pretty attentive for the most part. I've been to other Famous Dave's that seemed to be better then this location, but overall it's not a bad place to stop in if you're having a rib hankering. read more

Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que - Platter for 2! - Barbeque Near Me - Taylor, Michigan

I should have known better upon entering that we should have walked out. Sunday night and no one was there! 6:30 reservations... that we definitely didn't need. It took over an hour for our dinner to come out, I could understand if it was busy but dam! Our appetizers were brought out and then we didn't see our waitress for another hour. No drink refills, no "do you guys need anything?" We thought she left?!? Seriously! Our orders were wrong, the food was good what little we got on our plates. Asked to speak the manager(SCOTT) what a waste of our breath. Asked for boxes never got them, it literally took her 20 minutes or longer to run our credit card. She never even offered to get cake plates for my husbands Birthday cake. The quality and quantity of food definitely changed. Im sorry but you can't even use the excuse of being busy, because when I say no one was there I mean every table in our area and other areas was empty. What a joke, waitress, manager you all need to find a different profession. read more

I ordered online and had curbside pick up. The waitress was just awesome, friendly and very courteous, she even threw in a free bottle extra hot sauce. It was a great way to end a long day at work. Food was delicious. Thank you guys for a job well done, I will be back. read more

Haven't been to Famous Dave's since before covid. This place used to be very good. Not so much now. The service from the waitress was awesome. The quality of the ribs was horrible. I don't know if I got the wrong end of the slab in my St Louis combo but the texture of the meat was totally like spongy gristle. There was no meat texture to the meat. I never get to eat ribs and this was a very special trip to be able to go here and I was totally let down on my main reason for going- GREAT RIBS. Everything else was tasty. I will give them another try and chalk it up to just a bad few bones. Also, I don't know why but the menu is missing a lot of items and the tableside BBQ sauces were lacking, with only 2 types at the table. Some of these complaints I don't know if it was due to the hit from the covid...but those ribs... read more

I have to say the sandwiches are excellent. If you order online, I suggest you call in to see the actual time it will take to be ready, especially on a weekend. My order took 45 minutes when the online estimate said 22 minutes. I gave it just three stars because the two chicken entrées only give you one chicken breast; the other entrée is a leg/thigh. Kind of on the small side. The last thing I need to say is the kitchen staff on Friday evening, who you can see from the doorway, did not wear masks, nor the "manager" who was with them. They are standing over the food preparing it. That is appalling. Won't be back until they comply with the governor's mask mandate. read more

Stopped in a couple weeks ago with my mother. Decided to get a lighter menu option which was the glazed salmon. The portion size was just right. The salmon was flaky and well cooked. With the glaze, it had a sweet and smoky flavor. The fries were good. The cole slaw needs some work. I love cole slaw, but this was very bland and needed some type of dressing. We also got side salads. Surprisingly large portion and all the ingredients were fresh. I've been to this Famous Dave's several times and will continue. So far, the food and service has been very consistent. read more

Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que - Glazed grilled salmon - Barbeque Near Me - Taylor, Michigan

I ordered with Uber ears and my food was so bad I couldn't eat any of the meat I ordered brisket and rib tips and the brisket was so fatty I couldn't bring myself to even eat it, and the rib tips were sooooo overdone I could use the meat as a tooth pick, like come on I payed $40 and got crap!!!! read more

Last time we went, was the last time we went! Food was overly spiced , I could not eat. Even the side dishes were too spicey. At least give people a choice, not everyone likes HOT barbeque. The only edible (to me) was the cornbread. I have had very good ribs, chicken elsewhere and not so hot I could not eat. read more

Do not come with a large group they take forever to bring you your food. The service was horrible not a fan of Famous Dave My burger was delicious with fries read more

My family not big into bbq so i have to always get carryout. I love ordering online and picking up they have great service and convenient to get in and out. A couple of times have gone with friends and we have a blast staff is friendly and nice environment and the food is always good. read more

Today New Year's Eve 630 pm I was at the store getting my Togo order when I witnessed something that should never of happened. A lady picked up her order and was going through it to verify if everything was there she asked a young lady behind the counter about her corn bread the young lady was very out of line and very snooty saying did you look through your fucking bag and did you look in your effing boxes? I was standing right next to them. I was amazed that this was happening, a major, verbal altercation, corrupted, the employee was dropping the F bomb every two words management came separated them. No one in the store management employee otherwise apologized for the rudeness or anything to the people standing waiting on their orders, or to the lady that was insulted by the store corporate needs to look into this. I will be calling corporate and making a statement this is not normal they should not be tolerated. read more

All in all, I ordered some 8 wings and it came with the side of mac and cheese. And some fries. The food was really good! I really enjoyed the sauces and the flavor of the wings. My only complaint there was the wings were tiny, and I mean, tiny. I paid 15$ (roughly) for 8 tiny wings, that barely even satisfied my need for food. TLDR, Food was good, but small, price is a little high for the amount of food you get at a BBQ place. read more

Stopped in for lunch - takeout - to help support ailing restaurants. Ordered 2 chicken lunches, one with fries one with slaw. Each lunch had one singularly small piece of "spectacularly unimpressive" chicken, according to my wife. Hers had a cup of similar slaw, and I had a good but not overly generous serving of fries. Both came with a corn muffin. Our $20 before tip would have been better spent elsewhere. read more

1st, the wait time went from 22min, to 50min, to 1hr, and still didn't get my order. I do understand it was mother's day but, I'm sure this is not the 1st Mother's day they were open. I order the All American Feast, which consist of a full slab of ribs, beef brisket, chicken, and 4 sides. My mother is 92yrd. When I order, I was told the ribs were tender. I asked my mom's how are the ribs, and she shook her head no, and said they were tuff, so I tried one, and they were very tuff. The brisket was tuff too. the only thing that was good was the baked beans, and corn bread. The wife suggested that we bake them in the oven so they won't be as tuff. Out $98.00. read more

Are ribs for a little tough and our server was a little slow. they went away with the green beans that I really like it's a shame how this place is change since it's opened up and not for the better. read more

Ordered 2 brisket sandwiches for pick up. $18 each..pretty generous with the meat, but served on a hamburger bun. Coleslaw was tasteless and very small portion. Total bill was 40 dollars and we were still hungry. Definitely way overpriced for what you get. Very disappointing! read more

Ordered a 100.00 take out order. Order was missing an entree. could not credit the credit card and will send me a check. offered no other comp. worst customer service ever. read more

I'm not much for chains but we were out and I was hungry. We arrived during dinner service and it wasn't too busy. It was a week night so I didn't expect it to be. We were seated quickly and waited a short time for our drinks. Our waitress seemed pretty distracted with straightening up empty tables and small talk. It wasn't terribly annoying but it took 10 minutes longer for her to head to the kitchen and find our food. We placed our order and watched 2 tables after ours finish theirs before ours came out. Eh, everyone has an off day and we were there enjoying my husbands birthday. HAPPY BIrTHDAY HONEY!! My brisket was super duper dry and our waitress was very kind and quickly brought out something else. (Great job) Here's the sour part... The staff came out 4 times making a HUGE ruckus and singing a birthday song for several tables. They toted out some desert plate and clapped and got silly. I really don't mind a little celebration but sheesh!!!! We couldn't talk to each other or even think as 3 of the tables were next to ours. So we got our food and every 5 minutes they were singing. Kudos to the waitress for fixing my meal. Quick seating Food was good except brisket. Tone down the clapping and super loud singing. read more

Consistency is the hallmark of a restaurant. I've eaten at Famous Dave's before and had reasonably experiences, but this just wasn't one of them. All of my sides; cole slaw, green beans, and garlic mashed potatoes we acceptable. The cornbread muffin was excellent. The beef brisket was way off the mark. The rub used was heavy in salt which overpowered the natural smoky flavor of what brisket is supposed to be. The meat could have used about an hour extra of cooking since it lacked the tenderness and the pull apart quality that I expect from brisket. So overall I was rather disappointed in Famous Dave's and will move it far down in my list of goto barbecue places. read more

I don't think it's fair to pay a tip when you don't get service wait staff make their money selling food I should think about that when they want a tip especially if they don't provide any service. read more

Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que - Everytime I come to this location the service gets worse and worse never again never again - Barbeque Near Me - Taylor, Michigan

Went in for lunch with colleagues today. I had the Texas Manhandler topped with cole slaw (at our servers recommendation) and a side of fries. The sandwich is made up of sandwich beef brisket and zesty hot link sausage, sliced thin & piled high. The brisket was tender, the sausage juicy & spicy, and best thing of all...it had JUST the right amount of BBQ sauce on it. Not overshadowing the taste of the meats & slaw. The place was clean & service was excellent to top it all off. It was truly a good day for lunch! read more

This was one of my favorite BBQ restaurants until my family and I went 3 weeks ago. The restaurant had an unusual amount of Flies and Knats flying around the food being served which was a definite red flag to the sanitary conditions in the kitchen and elsewhere. The food was over cooked and was not the quality of previous visits. We will not be going back. read more

Great food! Ribs, Rib Tips & the Brisket are excellent... Draw back, the prices keep rising and the portion sizes keep getting smaller. First they took away the cob of corn, now the muffins are about half the size as they once were. read more

Food was decent today, wait was wayyyy to long for an early Sunday dinner sat in lobby for 35 minutes, well stood I guess cause all the seats were taken. ....waitress was pretty awesome today can't remember her name though. Bad part of visit was getting home and not having the bottle of Georgia mustard sauce I thought I was getting. Made my whole visit turn to crap read more

Famous Dave's is one of those places you land after a busy day on Eureka Rd doing errands, and you just can't resist that amazing smell anymore. That said, going in, I was not expecting much from a chain BBQ restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised. Nothing I had was bad; in fact, some of the food I devoured and almost licked my plate clean. Service wise, I was impressed. One of the occasions we were there, we had both our 4 and 2 year olds with us, and our 2 year old dumped a completely full glass of soda on the ground. I couldn't even get down there to start cleaning up before there were 3 employees in the ground, all saying "don't worry about it - we've got it - it happens!" I was very impressed. Never had an empty glass, and there were always lots of extra napkins - important for a BBQ restaurant haha. Overall, I was pleased with both the food and the service we found here. Will definitely be going back. read more

I seriously don't get the hype! Meat was so dry drowning it in sauce didn't even help! Corn was flavorless mush so was the broccoli. The cornbread was tough and the baked potato was half cooked. I wasted a lot of money on a terrible meal should have ordered from some place else. Famous for a a joke of bad food. read more

We visited Famous Dave's on the recommendation of my boyfriend's brother. He raved... we thought it was pretty good... well "okay plus." In my opinion the prices are a little on the high side, but we had an all-around pretty good meal. I got the beef brisket -- this was good. It was a good portion, although maybe a little small for the price. The corn muffin that came with it was awesome, the mac and cheese was sub par and the green beans were good. One bonus: the meals come with two sides (plus - overcooked - corn on the cob), which is appreciated. They aren't huge but they are reasonable. My boyfriend got BBQ chicken, which was tasty, and he loved the baked beans and steak fries. The fries were big and very dense -- very potato-ey if that makes sense. Personally I like crispier fries but to each his own. As far as the service goes, it was... meh. When we walked in the hostess asked if she could sit us at the high top in the bar area near the door... we were servers for years and know how hard it is to seat those tables by the door... we sat there and it was okay. But it was very, very unprofessional to be like dancing around and making robot voices (seriously) in hearing range the whole time we were there. It's a very casual joint, so it was more funny than anything, but come on! The server was also the bartender, so most of the time she was okay but the rhythm of drink refills and such was off. The food came nice and quickly. We noticed that they seem to have really good happy hour specials and $1.00 PBR pints! We did not partake but that is cool. The coolest thing was the 5 types of BBQ sauce on the table -- all of them were tasty, too, albeit a little similar to each other (with the exception of the Georgia Mustard sauce -- most of them were sweet and spicy, but that one was more savory). Overall I would visit again if I was in the area but wouldn't go out of my way to go there. read more

Normally I would give it a 5 star rating but not this time Got my usual take out platter xl ribs .. Should of glanced a little harder at the checkout process of inspecting before taking.. server caught the fact my muffin was crushed and immediately added a new muffin. but we both didn't notice that the ribs were not sauced only had the dry rub . Fortunately I always get extra packets .. this time it just wasn't the same taste i love ,,that gooey sticky sweetness a sauce has when cooked into the ribs read more

Looking forward to next time!! Typically go there for lunch with the NASA GRC LSS work group. Service is always prompt, BBQ is always hot, fresh and soooo tasty! LOVED IT! Had the "Burnt Butts" with Wilbur Beans as a side. Lightly doused everything with Triple XXX Hot sauce...OMG!! Made my nose sniffle just a little because of the awesome intense heat, but the BBQ meat flavor was still strong and dominant. That's how I like it! Did I forget to say it was perfectly tender? It WAS!! THE best this side of Texas! Loved the Triple XXX hot sauce so much I bought 4 to take home. Won't have to open the menu next time...I know what I'll order again! read more

I absolutely love this place. The traditional wings are some of the best I've had. Always go with Wilbur's revenge hot sauce. It's the best hot sauce I've had on wings north of Louisiana. The staff is always super friendly and I've never had bad service. The beer selection isn't too shabby either. read more

Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que - Barbeque Near Me - Taylor, Michigan

Let me start by letting you know that Famous Daves has the greatest drink special EVER! Wilbur Wednesdays WOW! On Wednesdays Guinness is only $1 a pint not a perfect pour by any means but a $1 dollar Guinness. WOW! If Guinness isn't your thing (you suck) but the do offer other beers at that price like Blue Moon, Bud etc. Unfortunately the food is...well... Meh. Not the greatest it certainly isn't the worst but you can do better. Sadly Wilbur Wednesdays are no more :( read more

Went here to utilize my birthday freebie (BOGO Meal with $15.99 value) with friends. I sat at the bar to wait for them to arrive. The bartender chick was nowhere to be found... so a colleague poured my beer and said the bartender would be right over. That drink kept me busy for a bit, then my friends started to arrive and finally, the bartender did, too. I would have ordered more from her, but who knows if she would have been around to either take another order or bring me my bill, so I asked for the bill as soon as I had her attention. We were seated and had a pleasant meal. The prices are Famous Dave's aren't bad for the quantity of food that you get. Everything tasted fantastic and we didn't wait long for anything in the dining area. The waitress was friendly and accomodating. I'd go back, but not to the bar! Plus, no drink specials or happy hour?? Really, Famous Dave's?? read more

Used to be our fav bbq place. Not anymore. St Louis Ribs were dry and tough. Brisket the same. When the manager stopped by and asked how things were, I told him "dry and tough" and not what we were used to seeing. No apologies, just "that is how smoked meat is!". Not happy read more

Food was underwhelming. Everything was over sauced, probably to make up for the lack of taste and quality to the meat served. Ribs and brisket were dry and bland but sauce was overly sweet Baked beans tasted like eating a jar of molasses. How many cups of brown sugar did they dump into the beans for crying out loud? Menu also needs to be updated to reflect changes in their recipes We ordered nachos for an appetizer and it came with everything but the kitchen sink, would've probably been passable for me, but eating with a finnicky eater.. That got sent back like a bowl of soup with hair in it. All I can say is "meh" Nothing to write home about read more

If I could have given the food a zero I would have. To charge $16.49 for the appetizer sampler is a joke and one they should be embarrassed about. The boneless wings were smaller than chicken nuggets and tasted horrible. The catfish and chicken fingers were tiny and I actually spit out the chicken fingers. I couldn't eat the rib tips they were so chewy and salty. The onion strings were good, I'll give them that. I didn't know frozen food could come out that messed up. When I called the manager over he wanted to replace my food, but being that I was with a table full of people that were done eating that wasn't going to be my option. At no point did he offer the meal be comped. Overall I will never go there again nor recommend it to others. Horrible experience. read more

It's mother's day and the wait wasn't bad at all. 35mins and we were seated. The server was awesome his name was Famous Keith he was great. Very attentive. But the main reason we even came here was to satisfy mom's sweet tooth to be told. They ran out of bread pudding! The only thing my mother really wanted :/ other than that it was great. read more

So let me state that the food was fine it came out hot and fresh, it just happened to take 55 mins on a day where the place was half full and it was a party of two ,which I would not be so upset but when a party of 6 comes is greeted within 3 mins which for again my party of 2 darker skinned people it took 15 mins to get water and no I'm not over selling.....the party next to us which came in 20 mins or so after not only had their order in under 10 mins but the manager whom I thought must have been off that day came by twice to check on them ......yeah I'll pass on the Dave's at this location read more

I can't believe we just came for dessert... All this BBQ looks so good! But I guess you can just come for dessert... I had "better than mom's pecan pie"! Holy crap it was good! A huge slice(good for 3 people) served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I also sampled the bread pudding which was really good...and i don't like bread puddin...(also enough to serve 3!) It seems like a fun spot. Good for A chill date night with your regular chic if you don't mind getting messy. The atmosphere was a bit loud, the tables are a bit close together and it was like we were up in everyone's conversation. This place "helps pigs reach their full potential..." ...and "smoking is allowed, as long as you have hickory!" read more

Food is decent but overpriced for the small amount that you get. The cornbread is very good. We've always had a good experience with the staff here and it's very clean. We generally have a good experience. read more
