    SMOKED BRISKET EGG ROLLS
    Becca F.

    The food was ok. The brisket was tough and chewy. Not how brisket should be described! The coleslaw lacked any flavor. The egg-rolls were stuffed full of meat and really good flavor. Just like everywhere else the prices have increased significantly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was freezing inside. I'm hardly ever cold and I kept shivering.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Maybe they just had a fluke in their ac the day we went. The staff was on top of it and friendly, but for the love of all things customer service, stop making your staff say they are famous whoever. It was annoying and not cute.

    BBQ Feast

    Had an awesome meal here with the BBQ Feast. Easily feed six people and some. Great variety and quality. The Roasted Chicken was some of the best I've had. Ribs and Brisket were decent too. Huge number of sides from slaw, beans, and fries. Can't got wrong with this for a large group. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Inside is very cozy, large, and warm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staffs were also very friendly and fun.

    This place does not disappoint folks! Great food, great service and great drinks! Happy hour is a must.3-6pm.. But Taco Tuesday is a must! Already from March '25.. It's no joke. $3 Tall Coors & $3 Margaritas! $2.50 big a$$ tacos! Catfish,smoked Brisket and smoked pork!!!!

    Famous Dave's is a decent BBQ joint. The food is always solid and tasty. It is a bit pricey, however, if you get the "feasts" you won't be disappointed with the portion size! My husband decided to get 9 ribs on his own so my daughter and I split the feast for two. Man oh man!! LOTS of food!! Choices of meat, sides, corn and muffins! We ended up with a lot of left overs and didn't have to go out for lunch the next day! The waitress was excellent. Fast. Attentive to our needs and checked in with us a number of times. Real friendly! The restaurant was clean and had the typical Dave's paraphernalia scattered and hanging about. Is it the BEST bbq joint? Honestly, no. I've been to better bbq places, but, it is certainly one you can be satisfied with and walk away satiated. And the staff were wonderful. That alone makes it worth it.

    Overpriced & slow. Used to be good but the quality & service are really lacking now! Ribs were overcooked & leathery!

    Famous Dave's is a BBQ chain restaurant. When we arrived we were seating quickly and offered drinks immediately. The service was helpful and nice during our time here. The menu is quite large and we ended up splitting a run meal and added on an extra meat option for around $6. The food came out quickly. The ribs and chopped pork were decent and I would recommend the country chicken as it was juicy and flavorful. I would skip the fries as they were a bit oily tasting for my taste! This would be a great spot for large groups or a quick bite were you can still sit down.

    Famous Dave's is a chain food restaurant. That being said, they specialize in standards. I've eaten at many of their restaurants and everyone is the same. That's what makes them last. Repeatability is the key to success. They have been able to repeat the service and food at every store. Famous Dave's has a piece of Chicago, Austin and Kansas City all on their menu. You can't go wrong if you want barbecue. The staff is cool here, they're attentive and nice.

    Dave's is definitely consistent in their offering of both restaurant style and ambiance as well as the quality of food. While I am a huge bbq fan, when there are limited choices to choose from, Dave's almost always rises to the "let's go there" recommendation because I know what I am going to get. The portions are generous, the food is done well and the menu has a large variety of options to choose from. We shared a rib platter and a burnt end platter. Between these two meet dishes, it came with four sides and cornbread. They do a great job on their Mac n cheese side and Wilbur beans. The fries are standard steak fries and the coleslaw is ok. The service the night we were there was great. I unfortunately don't remember our waitresses name, but she was lively, energetic and laughing. Nice to have a happy server. A few things were forgotten, but quickly addressed. I would definitely come back again.

    DAVE'S SASSY BBQ SALAD hold the tomatoes
    Lisa S.

    Stopped here with my kid #1 for dinner before picking up my kid #2 at the airport right down the street. Walked in and the greeter looked and acted like he just finished a joint. Sat us in a booth, it was clean. I ordered Daves Sassy Salad with pulled pork which I quite enjoyed, my daughter ordered a burger. She said it was the driest burger she has ever had. I did have one bite that I had to spit out in my napkin because it was so hard like a rock in my mouth and wanted to keep my teeth. Our server was the opposite of our greeter, she was extremely energetic. My beer was tasty but the gin and tonic my daughter got was missing the gin. I would come back here again if in town but skip the burgers and probably not with my kid.

    CHEESE CURDS before eating any of them.
    Sierra S.

    Honestly don't know why I keep trying this place. We ordered to-go after being at the hospital, and we might as well have gotten food from the hospital cafeteria. We ordered cheese curds, briskets burger, and a steak. The cheese curds were a joke. Super small portion and the cheese was cooked out of most of them, leaving just batter. The brisket on the sandwich was dry and disappointing. We ordered the large steak and they definitely didn't skip out on that. It was huge but nothing amazing as far as flavor.

    You need to order the right thing here. This has to be the absolute most fantastic barbecue sauce I…read morehave had in town. If they bottled it and sold it, I'm sure it would fly off the shelves. Next up, the baked beans - they are out of this world. Probably the best baked beans I've had. The Tri-tip was also fantastic and paired well with the bbq sauce & beans. However, the cornbread was inedible and we tossed it. Mac and cheese was no good either but we ate some of it. Chicken was not the right flavor or texture for me but that could be personal preference. I look forward to trying their lunch specials and more. It looks like they are open for lunch and close for a couple hours in the afternoon and then open again in the evening for dinner. Seems like lunch can be ordered at the walk-up window by the smokers but for dinner you'll need to walk up the building past the nail salon to the bar to order. We hit them up around five pm on Friday night and only a handful of people were inside upon arrival. However, the parking lot was full and by the time our order was ready, a bunch of families were piling in. Our order took about ten minutes to be ready and was packaged in nice, more expensive to-go containers. There are tables and bar seating inside and a parking lot out front. Prices are what you would expect for bbq. We ordered the "Family Dinner" and it could definitely work for four people, if you ate everything.

It was lacking that strong garlicky, buttery flavor. It still satisfied my cravings though! The ribs were also good and were fall off the bone tender. I would pass on the Huli Huli Chicken next time because it was a bit dry. I also didn't care for the potato Mac salad. I would come back in a heartbeat. For a food truck, I'm thoroughly impressed. This is some of the best Hawaiian food I've had in Portland/Vancouver. I've tried GrindwTryz, Kiawe Island Bistro, Ohana Hawaiian Cafe, Ate oh Ate, Hula Boy Charbroil, Hawaiian Style Grill and Hawaiian Soul and the two places I would go back to are GrindwTryz and Kanaka Island Grill. If I had to pick between those two choices I'd pick Kanaka if distance wasn't a concern. Be prepared to wait a little. Service was friendly and we went with about an hour left and they were still pretty well stocked. You can also eat outdoors or inside at the nearby bar.

I think 2-3 per person is more than enough. I myself am good with two to myself, but we always get a few more so we can try more flavors. We got a few to go and my favorite was definitely the spicy sausage. The cream cheese danish was also phenomenal. The eggs inside were also super soft and not over cooked. I do wish they had a slightly bigger menu, while there were a number of kolaches, it really seemed to just be different combinations of egg, cheese, and some breakfast protien (sausage, bacon, etc.). So one is just egg, then another is egg and cheese, another is sausage, egg, and cheese, then just sausage and egg, etc. All the different combos make it seem like there's a lot, but the real flavor options didn't vary a ton. But I will 100% be back, as it's a great grab and go breakfast options that's super delicious.
