Fantastic service from our waitress. Appetizers and entrees were excellent! The ribs and rib tips were so tasty and just perfect. The baked potato was fluffy. We really enjoyed the corn muffin.....consistency and sweetness were very good. The only complaint we had was the blinds (we sat in a table booth next to a window) definitely need a good cleaning. Ironically, on our way to Branson, we were talking about a restaurant we had stopped going to because the blinds were so filthy. I definitely would not put this into that category, but they need a good cleaning. Very gross to sit next to dirty blinds while eating. This is the only reason I am deducting 1 star! read more

Came the first time, couldn't wait 30 minutes wait time. Came the next day, still 30 minute wait time. Decided to wait. I was in the mood for bbq. Friendly, got us our appetizer which was the salmon spread. It was a meal to it self. Lots of chunks of salmon, creamy and rich, the toast was delicious . I had the pulled pork and my wife had the salmon. We both enjoyed our dinner and the chili was mild with a slight hint of sweetness.. The place was busy with a fast turnover and management surprised us with brownie for our 50th anniversary read more

Just arrived restaurant is closing soon. We hangry and trying to get some hot food. We walked in the establishment and asked for to go menu and was escorted outside (by staff) to the to go window! I was surprised to walk back outside on the other side of store. It's really a outside walk up window and the menu is clearly lit up for you to place order. I'm only giving 3 stars as we are waiting for the food at the moment. When I take a moment to eat I'll let you know if it's better than 3 stars. They also offer a 10% military discount which is nice. We order the pick 3 combo as in pick three meats (barbecue chicken, chopped pork, catfish) 2 sides and cornbread. I'm so hoping it's good so I can come back and give them 5 stars.. I'll let you know. Oh yeah it's conveniently located on the strip hwy 67. read more

One of the best experiences I have ever had at any restaurant! Ingrid was a spectacular waitress who offered samples of several items and made us feel at home like we were at a country diner. Daks at the front desk was so friendly and loves everything on the menu! The manager came by several times to check on us. This was our first time at Famous Dave's and I couldn't have expected such a wonderfully memorable time. I liked the sunny environment with comfortable booths and windows everywhere. The cornbread muffins were really great and the wings and BBQ sauce were good enough to come back for. You can get good food just about anywhere but you can't get good service like we had today. Whoever is hiring there knows what they are doing! Thank you!! read more

This is my favorite restaurant here in Branson, every-time I've visited, Famous Dave's has been a go to, serving come back plates, from the meats, to sides, sauces, & those pickles!! We came at the last hour of service for dinner, Sydney was our server, and really went above and beyond waitressing. She had the best spirit and attitude and made us feel like we were her 1st guest, and not that last table. She was so informative and excited as she talked about the menu, and recipes. Food was sooo good I absolutely love the Mac n cheese it has jalapeños and corn in it, so very uncommon, but unique and good asf , definitely a must try. The beans are soo good and flavor on point. I tried the loaded potato with pork. It was good but not a-lot of meat tho! They had pink pig hats for the kids to color and keep them busy. Overall great restaurant and wish we had one in St Louis read more

Our group of 31 dined at the BBQ restaurant for lunch. I was excited because the name of the restaurant included the word "Famous". Love BBQ so was curious about this Missouri restaurant. Just my opinion but didn't find a favorite sauce of the 3 offered at the table. I found my brisket sandwich to have an average taste. Great customer service for serving large groups of people. read more

We used the pick up window outside to order. My husband loved the BBQ sandwich. My kids had cheeseburgers and they were good quality and good. The fries they came with were potato wedges and were excellent. I had the chili, it was just enough spice to make me love it. They brought the food to us with utensils and condiments. We'd absolutely go again. read more

Food was fantastic and the service was great!! Our server was attentive and made the experience even better. Will definitely be going back. read more

Ribs and brisket were cooked well. Not a fan of the barbecue sauce they put on the meat. I think it was Sweet and Sassy. Had a lot of sweet very little sass. The 2 meat lunch combo came with a slice bread and a "cornbread " muffin. I have had cornbread many times in my life. I make my own gluten free cornbread for my wife and I. Their muffin was more dessert cupcake. My mom liked them a lot, but she also said immediately after tasting it that it wasn't cornbread. The server was nice and helpful. Made sure we had our drinks topped off. The restaurant was clean and bright. read more

I took my family to eat here last night. Terrible service couldn't even fill up our drinks. All of our meals were cold. The brisket was all fat. I'm very disappointed I figured this was the best bbq in town. I will be trying Big D's next time. read more

Fantastic Service, Ozzy is the best. he has the perfect knack for customer service. My pork sandwich was delicious. My husband started he hasn't had such a good hamburger in some time. It was juicy and flavorful. Thank you, Famous Dave and Ozzy, for a good dinner. read more

Always a big fan of Famous Dave's! It was my first time at this location, and it was wonderful! We had "Famous Patty" as our waitress and she was wonderful and quick. There was a dog adoption event being held outside which was just overall very welcoming (and VERY tempting). Food was yummy, I'm picky about bbq as a KC girl, but this was pretty dang good! Great restaurant, great service! We will be back! read more

Did a curbside pickup order a few days ago. Ribs were good as always. I've had much better burnt ends at many venues. Onion straws very good as was corn muffin. Beans were tasty. When I arrived home, I discovered a side salad and a dinner salad with pulled pork were missing. Called up. Offered to come back and get. Couldn't. 30 minutes each way. Spoke them to Mgr Becky. Very kind, professional and apologetic. Offered to adjust debit card bill and send out a gift card. So far, debit card at full amount (from pending to actual transaction). Gift card not yet arrived, but I'll so far assume it's on the way. Disappointing to come home with an incomplete order. read more

The food was not good at all. I had the three meat (rib tips, brisket, and sausage with Wilbur beans and a salad) The rib tips were tough and the brisket was dry. The only thing worth eating was the sausage and the sides. This was my worst experience at this chain ever. read more

This is not a good place for barbecue! Gristle and crosscut bones in the ribs? Meat was cold in pulled pork... toast was cold/old.. multiple times the side orders were incorrect corn confused with coleslaw??. Party of 4 on a Thursday afternoon (off season)..should have been able to be taken care of easily. Fumbling bumbling service definitely will not be back! read more

I walked in the waitresses all looked at me standing at the front, but somehow I still waited 10 minutes for someone to help me and this was about 230 there was about a total of five tables occupied, and it was not busy at all instead they all just looked and no one did a think Luckily, I was picking up, but if I was in there to die, and I would definitely have left read more

This was a great experience and wonderful service. Had the ribs, macaroni and cheese and mashed potatoes. Daughter had the BBQ stuffed baked potato. The food was amazing, ribs were fall off the bone and macaroni and cheese was delicious. Haven't been to Famous Dave's since 2006. Will hopefully get to come back soon! read more

Great place to eat in Branson. Food was great and between our 4 family members we tried many different things and all were good!

Good was good, I feel the ribs could have been better. They weren't falling off the bone like I hoped. Also ordered some curds and they were forgotten. Not too bad read more

This was our second choice for barbecue on a Monday night as we wanted to get some local flavored dinner but the first place closed at 8 so we headed to Famous Dave's (a chain). We were seated promptly and had plenty of space, we ended up settling for a booth near a set of tables worth chairs since we were 15 people in the group (including 2 babies). We got drink orders in and food as well. The sodas, beer and mixed drinks all came out right and cold. Our food was more than enough and had great flavor. The waitress checked in a couple times before we closed the place down. Everyone enjoyed the meal and we took a couple to go boxes.one thing that impressed me was how easily the waitress agreed to split our check among the 4 families. We definitely were happy they were open til 9 and had a good experience. read more

Went last month after hitting up aunts creek and have to say some of the best food I've had around the area. I got the plater of ribs and chicken and we cleared all of it. Amazing service from a young Hispanic man!! Over all the ambiance is great it wasn't too crowded when we went but it was early so I'm not sure how it gets. Thank you for the service and amazing food !! read more

We stopped for lunch and found the place practically empty which seemed odd, but I don't know why it was because our meals were good. There is a lunch special of a pulled pork sandwich which 3 people in our group got and they all enjoyed it. I got a baked potato with pulled pork on top and I really liked it. There are 5 different BBQ sauces on the table so you can experiment with different flavors. The server did a good job of explaining them while he drew a dragonfly of BBQ sauce on a plate for us to use to dip some provided chips. Very cute. Service was good, the restaurant was clean and prices were reasonable. What's not to like? read more

Best food I've had in Branson! Delicious bbq chicken and baked beans! Other had fish, fries, bbq pork, no complaints!

While the service was good, the food was just so-so. Everything is hot and spicy. I thought they would have something that is not covered in spices. When will restaurants learn that they are ruining the food by dousing everything in the spices. Sometimes they need to let the flavor of the food come through. I ordered the catfish fingers and I could not really tell what I was eating because it was so hot and spicy. I detected no catfish flavor whatsoever. With catfish, all you really need is a pinch of MSG to bring out the flavor. Believe me, MSG is perfectly safe. It never was and never will be a problem as some people claim it is. I can mark Famous Daves OFF my list of restaurants to return to in the future. read more

Was told 15-20 minute wait. Waited over half hour because we kept being told we're up next. There were tons of empty seats and they said the kitchen was backed up and that's why we weren't being seated. Then they sat 20+ people at once when the kitchen opened up but that then SLAMMED the kitchen again. I couldn't believe how rude the front receptionist was being and then the manager who when I told him what was going on his reply was "our owners here!" Like I was supposed to shut up and eat. read more

Our waitress Nikki was great!! Great sense of humor and very attentive, she kept our drinks full... the order took a bit long butwe were a party of 13. I ordered the salmon which was tooo dry, the flavor was good but it was over cooked. This review is before Covid. Everyone orded burgers and they all were pleased with their meals. read more
