    Brisket and BBQ chicken with pineapple spears lunch special
    Eddie C.

    This was not my place of choice but the relatives picked this place prior to their son's graduation. We were seated quickly as it was 1:30pm No negatives on the people that served as she/they were attentive. I ordered off the lunch special that had brisket and a half barbecue white meat chicken and a pineapple spear. Both meats were pretty average and the pineapple spear which is something different to try and was okay. My wife had a chicken sandwich, and she mentioned that the chicken seemed to be reheated to the point it wasn't that flavorful. My son also mentioned his chicken sandwich wasn't appeasing to him either. Being from San Diego, there's a lot of mom and pops great barbecue places that made famous Dave's meal today not stand out and not even in the same league. Their restaurant at this time was very quiet and only a couple of diners were present.

    We were feeling hungry on our way back from AZ and we were glad to see a Famous Dave's considering the one near me closed. We arrived around noon, and it got fairly packed quickly. There's an industrial rustic farmer vibe inside. Lots of seating. What was cool was that we ordered the three meat meal, and thought it was going to be the dinner price, but the lunch price was much less! It was a great way to share foods amongst us and to try different meats. The plate automatically includes a cornbread, which is not on the menu! They serve Pepsi products. Food was good and BBQ sauce was delicious. Different tangy and spice flavors. Food came out quickly too.

    Dry Mac N Cheese

    As a person that travels a lot, I have eaten at a lot of Famous Dave's. Despite there only being a few people at booths, it took forever for the waitress to even come to my table. So much so that the Hostess eventually came over and took my drink order and brought it to me. I ordered 6 bones of ribs with Mac N Cheese and fries for sides. The ribs were terrible, loaded with fat and bone chips. I'm pretty sure these were boiled and just coated with sauce, and absolutely loaded with pepper. Mac n Cheese was very dry. Wedge fries were undercooked and cold. Waitress was inattentive for the entire visit. This was hands down, the worst experience I've ever had at any Famous Dave's location. I do not recommend it, and I will not return to this location.

    I chose Famous Dave's for our family meal on my birthday. As suspected it was a great time! We ordered an appetizer before the All American Feast; as per usual we had our share of leftovers to take home! The brisket was excellent, as was the Peach Lemonade.

    We for the feast for 2 and you get a lot for your money here. We couldn't finish it, but we sure tried. Our waitress was Ashley and she was amazing. Best waitress we've ever had. The place was nice and clean an always.

    I was really excited for some good southern BBQ since I live in the northeast and people are always talking about how good it is down here. I thought Dave's was ok but I didn't find the food anything special. It was decent and I'd give it a 3.5 if I could but I wasn't like omg this really is amazing. We got the bbq sampler to try a few different things. The ribs, beans and potatoes were my fave.

    Great atmosphere. Service was great and the food was tasty. They have several sauces on the table that are worth a try. My meat portion was a bit on the small side for $14. But it was all good. The the potato salad and not the coleslaw. See our YouTube channel Coolest Life.

    Texas Beef Brisket
    Robert Z.

    Visited 1/8//2024 I've been to several Famous Daves BBQ over the years but I must say the Yuma Store is the best one I've ever visited. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Lots of parking. Nice Clean restrooms. Food was fresh and tender. We ordered The Famous Feast For Two. Comes with three Meats. We went for the Ribs and Double Orders of The Tender, Juicy Brisket. The sides we asked for were Mac & Cheese, Wilber Beans, Steak Fries, Sweet Cornbread, and Corn on The Cob. All comes on a big Platter Family Style. Everything was with Sauce on the side. Everything was tasty but the Star was The Texas Beef Brisket. Super Juicy and Tender. Fantastic Flavor. The Yuma Famous Daves is a winner.

    We continue to love Famous Dave's BBQ. Servers are friendly Dining room and bar areas are clean. Trying some different menu items. We really enjoy their traditional chicken wings with the sweet and sassy BBQ sauce. Cheddar potato soup with muffin was delicious. Side salad fresh and flavorful.

The California Chicken is pretty darn good, and the burger was great, but the Fried Chicken is, in my humble opinion, the best thing on the menu. The house margarita is tasty but seemed maybe a bit weak. I'll be trying the pizza tonight. Drinks never go empty, table is always cleared promptly, the managers are present, wait staff is attentive without being overbearing. I really can't say anything bad about Bubba's. Bubba's is busy... its always busy, but they have the staff to handle it. There are TV's everywhere with several choices of things to watch. It's a little noisy at times but never seems to be off-putting. It's casual and kinda trendy, but not giving the "This place is a bar that sells food. There's a clear delineation between the bar and restaurant. Get you some Bubba's! You won't be disappointed.

But what you'll find is a 5 star restaurant once you step inside. They have patio dining as well as tables inside. Each meal is prepared and plated with culinary skill. On this day, I had the curry shrimp and veggies. A sort of deconstructed Thai yellow curry dish. The plating made all the difference. The plate was served with a shaped mound of rice in the middle, with sauteed vegetables around the edges, green beans, carrots, zucchinis, onions, peppers and 8 shrimp placed around the plate on top of the veggies. The Yellow curry was poured over the rice for a unique plating. The shrimp were cooked nicely and everything was delicious. I have never had a disappointing meal in this place. I sat near the front door and had a duel with a relentless fly for a while that was a little annoying. But hey, sometime we deal with things in life for the greater good. A top notch , do not miss restaurant in my book and I recommend to everyone I know. This day I purposely left my phone in the car so I could take a real break on my drive from San Diego to Tucson.

Prison Hill is the classic brewery serving a great variety of beers and food. Lineup for the night: Chango Malo (stout), Crimin Ale (cream ale), Peanut Butter Stout. Each beer was phenomenal in mouth feel as I like the richer, creamier beers. Chango malo had a lovely cocoa flavor. Peanut Butter stout actually tasted like peanut butter without being offensive. You can taste the peanuts behind the butter. The Crimin ale had a good mouth feel but pro tip - don't have a lighter beer between two heavier ones with spicy food. It gets a bit overpowered. On the topic of food, I had the Wrecker sandwich. Soft roll, smoked meat, and crunchy slaw made for a good dichotomy of texture in the sandwich. When you see smoke rings in a bbq sandwich, you know you're eating some primo shit. I'm not a big fan of spicy though but this was the right amount between the slaw and the fresh jalapeños. I felt like deviating from the usual burger and it was a good choice. Looking around at some of the other plates, I don't think I couldve gone wrong. Solid venue, good food, good beer, great staff.
