Pretty impressive. Staff was friendly and very prompt. We had the pork ribs, and chopped pork sandwiches under the one and two meat option. Sides we had were potato salad(excellent ),creamed corn, coleslaw, of course they came with cornbread muffins. We could not eat it all, but it was tender, juicy and delicious. Clean and spacious seating. Well done Famous Dave's !! read more

Wow. What a rip off this place is. Way too expensive and you get portions the size of quarters. Not to mention the BBQ itself was not good at all. I have had better BBQ at McDonalds. Go to a local BBQ joint instead. This place is not worth the time or money. read more

Wonderful ribs and beans! These are the kind of ribs we are looking for. We don't want them "falling off the bone!"

Great food and friendly staff, we even got some free food! Thank you to the workers for the great service

It's always a hit or miss when I come here. I gave them a try about two weeks ago and I was not disappointed, so I came back again today for another try. My go to is two meat combo that comes with two meats and two sides. I usually get the the country chicken and the rib tips. I absolutely love the rib tips, but sometimes they are dry/overcooked and inedible. If you catch them on a good day, the rib tips are delicious and moist and pair great with the southside sauce (today was a good day). I love their fries, the Wilbur beans are delicious too. Today was my first ordering the creamed corn and when i arrived to pick up my order I was told they didn't have any, so I got the Mac and cheese (jalapeños diced in it for a kick was nice, they use a cheese sauce) If you order through the app, the wait times are not accurate. They are usually under staffed, so be prepared for a wait. read more

Got Takeout from here last night, and I really wish I would have taken heed to the reviews and just ordered elsewhere. I ordered the pick two feast and got rib tips and the St. Louis ribs, along with macaroni and cheese and french fries. The meal wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either. I was really disappointed in the ribs, as I was expecting immaculate flavor. Once upon a time I really liked Famous Dave's...I'm not sure what's happened, but my ribs were very basic as was the rest of the meal, the sides, and the meals of those who ordered with me. I expected more from a place specifically for bbq. Oh the cornbread muffin was really good though. read more

Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que - I got the country roasted chicken and bbq ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The food is really good, bbq ribs and bbq roasted chicken is the best. 100% recommend.

My husband and I had Famous Dave's for dinner today and the service was amazing. Mat was so nice and helpful from the start. He was packaging to-go orders, taking orders, answering phones, cleaning, and checking on customers all with a smile. The food was very good as well. read more

If I could, I'd have give them a 1.5. Upon entering, my order was taken immediately. My sandwich was made quickly, ready to go in under 2 minutes. The man who took my order was taking a long order over the phone. I tried taking my order & bagging it but was told by the cook that "corporate policy" (that one again) does not allow. 5 minutes went by, I'm standing there totally ignored. Finally, the man on the phone directed the cook to bag my order. Good food, lousy service!!! read more

Fast and friendly service, laid back atmosphere. The burger was a double and yummy. The barbecue pork was so salty, I'll be bloated like a goat. read more

Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que - Georgia Chopped Pork Sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Excellent value for average barbecue. I have yet to find a go to barbecue spot in Tucson, but if you need some thing that's convenient and solid, this is not a bad place to try. You order at the counter, so there wasn't a ton of interaction, but the staff seemed friendly and willing to help. The inside had a neat feel and it was very clean. The sandwiches and sides were both mediocre but definitely good bang for your buck. read more

Lunch online order was supposed to be ready for pickup at 12:32pm. Got there at that time and they hadn't even started on order because they didn't know it was in system. No apology, the guy said they would start order. At 12:55pm the order was ready. They called my name to come up to get it, and still no apology. My lunchtime was over and didn't get to eat lunch. Customer service sucked! Contact by email or text only. read more

The food was so tasty and the meat was tender. The burnt ends sandwich and the barbecue salad with chicken tenders hit the spot for my daughter I won't even get started with the corn muffins! Ayayay!! So Delicious! We really enjoyed all your food! Wow..and thank you for responding to our review Ayyyeeee!!! The QueenBeees were in the house! read more

I stopped to pick up a meal.. the meal comes with a choice of sides and pickles. I got the chopped pork sandwich with a side of coleslaw. You have a choice of several different sides like fries, broccoli and a few others. I tried to see the menu online but you only see it when you start an order which is too bad. Anyway the pork was more shredded than chopped like the picture but that was good for me. It came with 2 types of barbecue sauce packets but there is already their rich and sassy sauce on it. I did add more sauce though. Meat was pretty tender but a bit dry. Extra sauce was appreciated. Pickle slices were spicy and good. Coleslaw was good. Overall was good but nothing special. read more

Very friendly and courteous service. Great tasting and fresh barbecue. One of few places one can get burnt ends and rib tips. Their pork is moist and flavorful. Sides are tasty as well and their cornbread muffins are almost like a dessert. read more

Just ordered a chicken salad from here. The greens were so wilted and not fresh. The person who made this salad just threw lettuce in the box with no thought on how a salad should look. The chicken was ok and just shredded on top of lettuce. I tried a small side of creamed corn and it had no flavor. I also tried a small banana pudding and that did have flavor. Disappointing lunch. read more

This location was amazing! food was quick and full of love with great conversation and i'm sad i didn't get the name of the man that helped us but he had glasses and was the sweetest ever! he made sure we were well taken care of the whole time definitely will be going back. if you have the pleasure to go in you will not regret it it feels like a welcoming backyard joint and hard to tell it's ever a chain read more

Born and raised Texan here, I had the Texas brisket, jalapeño sausage, Mac n cheese and red potato hash, and banana pudding. This is some of the best BBQ I've had in a very long time. Matt at the counter was a joy to talk to and he helped me choose some of his favorites, he talked to us and was so kind and helpful! The place was clean, well kept and all the staff were great. I wish I had a picture of the food to share but I absolutely cleaned the platter before thinking of it or picking up my phone for that matter. This place should be rated 5 stars. Hands down. read more

So, as of 2020/2021, it appears that 'Dave's' has a new restaurant house and not sure why they moved... The new house is freshly designed, open, beautiful and appearance is highly attractive. It is however, small like a satellite restaurant if you will. Staff is friendly and gave us a free sample after questioning the flavor or their in house potato salad. Never being to one of these 'micro' versions of the larger style restaurants, I noticed the reviews for this restaurant were'nt stellar so it got me pondering, why? This new location is in a wonderful area geographically for Tucson restaurants and it's upscale in design. I came here in January 2021 with a party of 7. The pricing was a bit high on behalf of the entire crew that was with me in relation to the portion size(s), maybe, they'll adjust that in the future?? Overall, the restaurant was visually highly appealing, smelled delicious and the meal was crazy fast to our tables. I ordered the burnt end/tips but really would wished the portion sizes were a smidgen more. Though the brisket was certainly delectable, I can't say the in house made potato salad was a win - for me, but hey, to each their own. The restaurants accouterments table was unused due to C-29 restrictions, so the appearance of barely used is still present which is a shame because the restaurant is beautifully designed. Though, no spatial plastic dividers amongst the tables like you see at other restaurants. To me, they're silly in the first place as they'll certainly NOT stop viruses and the point behind them is mute to me in the first place so glad to see they didn't waste finances on installing those. Either your here to eat or not...get to it. Veteran, Police and 1st responder discounts is a nice thing to see for the community! Meal was good, and I would recommend it for anyone. read more

I used to love this restaurant back in Chicago. The meal that I ordered at the restaurant here in town tastes nothing like the food back in Chicago. Not sure why. I don't see myself going back to this restaurant here in town, and it was also very expensive compared to Chicago. My husband had burnt ends and I had ribs that were very dry, small and no sauce. The cornbread was okay. The service was fast but they demanded a tip which my husband paid even though this is was a self service restaurant. Not cool! Did not care for the ambiance. read more

After having the Daves sassy Bbq salad in Chandler several times a few weeks ago, and absolutely loving it. I decided to order it and have it delivered to my work for lunch. WORST DECISION EVER. Not even close to what I had before. Absolutely nothing like the description. Absolutely nothing! Never again. I'll drive to Chandler or Mesa. read more

$7 for a scoop of Kraft Mac and cheese for my son with some soggy potato wedges. I got half pound of brisket which I did not get a photo of that was mostly fat. Worker barely speaks English and just sits in the booth watching tik tok on his phone. Will not return first and last time here. Don't waste your money!! read more

The food was good, but not as good as in the past. first visit at this location, we were regulars on Oracle. Interior is very basic. you know order at counter and they let you know when your order is ready. self service drinks as soda and tea.

My husband and I had dinner tonight at famous Dave's everything was delicious service by Matt was impeccable. We both had burnt and sandwiches and they were wonderful along with great mac & cheese and delicious cornbread.in the past we have purchased the All American Feast which we also highly recommend!.

I'm sure we'll be picking one up for Memorial Day or Fourth of July or both.!!Chuck and Ruth another interesting note famous Dave's offers a military discount to all military members!!! read more

Tasted and looked like last year's leftovers. Customer service is stellar. Had to send the kid's meal back. Don't even waste your time going there. 3 years ago much better and fresher. Gave us a muffin in the kids meal because they were out of cookies. Ribs appeared to be eaten off of. read more

Ordered banana puddings to go. I saw a picture of them on yelp and got excited. Their banana pudding is delicious but, even though it was only $3, the take home portion was suitable only for my 5yr old. I hope the size is bigger in the restaurant read more

Our office Tucson Vein, ordered from Famous Daves BBQ on Speedway today. Didn't know what to expect. I spoke to a very nice man on the phone Tony. I told him we had an office full of 8 employees that we wanted to get a combination of food. He informed me of all the different options I had and we worked something out that was a good fit for what we were looking for. I told him I could come get it as soon as they could have it ready. It was around 11:45am and he told me it would be ready in 10 minutes! It was ready. The food was amazing. We were able to feed everyone and it was all hot and delicious. To think there are still places around with great food, great customer service and a good price. We will for sure be back. Thank you. read more

After paying for my meal and asking for two sides of mac and cheese which I was told was possible, an employee approached My table and said they did not have enough mac n cheese left to fill two sides. However..... when I was almost done with my meal I watched them bring out 3 sides of Mac n cheese to another table. I immediately felt self conscious as I thought maybe they were trying to tell me I didn't need both sides as he recommend broccoli. read more

Famous Dave's is a good/basic bbq chain that I usually don't regret for visiting. Is it stellar bbq? No. However it is consistently decent and this location didn't under perform. Are there better BBQ places in Tucson...for sure. But when in a pinch head to Famous Dave's. read more

Have not been to a Famous Dave's for years and that was a traditional restaurant not this strip mall variety. I have to say the flavor of the food was what I remembered, very tasty though not enough. I remembered always being stuffed in the past. Whether it was because of changes in franchise, COVID, or because it is a strip mall version of store, I was not impressed But I know the majority of the reason I was left wanting was because of the service. The was one guy doing food prep an he was quick. The only other employee which I assume was the manager was unfocused. I walked up to the register and literally stood there 5 minutes before he took my order. I almost walked out. I saw another couple do that later. He flit around cleaning tables, delivering food, everything but taking orders. Maybe it is as simple as having someone else there during lunch service times. They may survive on takeout but do not go in store dining. Service is number one in my food experience so I won't be back. read more

I drive 30 minutes one way to get to your location. The corn bread muffin was missing from the order. $1.50 isn't a major deal, HOWEVER, my partner doesn't often request items and that was the one thing they wanted and it wasn't available with the meal. The available drink lids don't fit the kids meal drink. The website said the meal came with Oreos, but we received a chocolate chip cookie. Thankfully no meltdowns occurred when the discrepancy was noticed. The creamed corn was salty., but had a good flavor profile It would be helpful to have item descriptions on the website, specifically for sides (unless I overlooked that the potatoes are topped with cheese and bacon. The breading on the tenders is amazing! The beans were good. The banana pudding hit the perfect sweet spot! read more
