    Ehh .. At first glance upon arriving it appeared good. Clean and plenty of servers/staff. Our waitress was friendly and took our order promptly. What we ordered: The hubs ordered a Long Island Ice Tea from the bar- good Burnt ends and cheese sticks - the apps were good- nothing over the top Cheeseburger - 6/10 it lacked flavor and was just plain Chicken breast plate w/ mashed potatoes and corn on the cob - 5/10 this dish had no flavor at all. The chicken was not seasoned and over cooked which made it taste extremely dry. The mashed potatoes were so plain and the corn was literally taken out of the water that it was cooked in because it tasted like water no flavor just bad. Hubs ordered - a mixed plate that had a chicken breast, steak, sausage baked potatoe and corn on the cob .. he said it was just "safe" in other words no flavor no seasoning just plain. Chicken sandwich - 6/10 just okay nothing to write home about .

    We were in the Doral area and decided to try Famous Dave's for the first time since the menu sounded great -- but unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations. The drinks were pretty watered down, which didn't make much sense since it wasn't busy at all. Service was also really slow -- it took about 20 minutes just to cash out after getting the check. The tequeño cheese bites were actually really good, but we didn't get the aioli sauce that was listed on the menu. The boneless wings (not pictured) were a bit chewy and seemed overcooked. For the main entrée, we went with the Memphis-style baby back ribs. The menu said they were smoked for hours, but they tasted more like Chili's dry rub ribs. The mac and cheese had corn mixed in (which was odd), and the onion strings were cold -- probably sitting out for a bit. Hopefully this spot makes some improvements, because we'd definitely be open to giving it another shot in the future.

    What can I say? Don't mess with perfection I've gone to other barbecue places, South West Palm Beach to Miami and the best place is famous Dave's. First of all I always said goodbye and get great service on the bartenders. Drinks are fairly priced and the menu at all. It is fairly price. This time I went straight to the food because I wanted a platter that brings a little bit of everything so I did order that platter. It was like a feast. It brought three ribs, cornbread corn on the cob with fries, mac & cheese barbecue chicken and brisket and baked beans. Every single ingredient was perfectly prepared. The ribs are almost amazing to superb. The preparation looks competition style as well as the brisket. Perfectly cooked perfectly sliced great pack of cheese great corn on the cob. The baked beans were amazing and so are they fried fries? I forgot to also say that I brought coleslaw. I mean this was endless. What can I say I almost finished it but it was a delight. Lots of napkins and lots of barbecue sauce just the way I like it. Add Jack Daniels to perfection. Perfection love the Bible. Seeing this place is always packed. There always got the game on great bar scene this is my go to place. I love it if you come you're missing out. Good family fun good barbecue great food. we also ordered a burger chug grilled it tasted like those barbecue burgers you did on your wedge grill wow.

    A good taste of barbecue! Love the options with meats and the flavors of the barbecue sauce options. The server was so kind, funny, and attentive. He was a perfect fit for the night. Southern food all the way! Great tasting and finger licking good! The location was clean and organized. Lots of parking and well-lit at night. Overall my visit was great.

    I here arrived at 12:50pm on a summer Sunday afternoon to grab lunch with my son. We were seated promptly. 2 minutes after being seated, our waiter arrived and took our drink order. Our order was placed at 12:58pm. My son got the kids bbq chicken with sautéed veggies and an Oreo cookies. I got the lunch brisket with sautéed veggies. There is ample seating that can accommodate groups of various sizes. We received our food 15 minutes later. The food was delicious! I added some salt/pepper to the veggies but no complaints. If I'm in the area again, I'd return! Serve was prompt and staff were friendly and attentive.

    Food, service, nice atmosphere. Everyone around happy. Great. Eat this plate by myself. Best feast to 1 .

    Famous Dave's is located in Doral by CityPlace Doral. Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday on a week night and it wasn't too busy. We had a large group so we made a reservation ahead of time. Although we made a reservation, they weren't ready by the time we arrived and we still had to wait a little to be seated so they could prepare our area. I liked how we were seated in a pretty private area with just our large group. The server was pretty prompt and attentive taking our drink & food orders as fast as he could while letting us know that it may take a while since there were several large parties that night. I shared the Feast for One and it was a good amount of food- ribs, chicken, brisket, and a few sides. We added the Burnt Ends for an extra $8 and a loaded baked potato. I don't think adding the burnt ends to this was worth it and will probably opt for it as an appetizer next time. Overall, the food was pretty good, especially considering I don't really like BBQ. The Devil's Spit was the best sauce and a great addition in flavor to what we got.

    The ribs that had no meat on the bone !

    I go to Famous Dave's frequently when I'm in the area ! I went on March 16, 2025 . I ordered take out . Usually I check my food before I leave - for whatever reason this time I didn't ! What a mistake . When I got home (I live near the zoo) I was pissed at the quality of food I got . I ordered a combo- wings and St Louis ribs , baked beans and coleslaw . I never got the baked beans ; they gave me mac and cheese (I hate mac and cheese ), and the ribs were meatless - no meat on then bone at all! The wings were old and dry but slathered with sauce to try to cover up the fact that they were old ! To say I was pissed is an understatement! If I lived closer I would have returned the meal ! Do better Famous Dave's , we pay too much money for food these days to have it not meet top tier standards!

    Food and service here is always good. Their draft beer tap lines need to be cleaned though. Draft beer tastes funky and flat no matter what you order.

We rotate locations to keep it fair, and last month brought us to Doral. We started at a cigar shop, wandered into Sports Grill Doral... and never left. At first glance, it feels like a classic sports bar. But spend a little time there and you realize it's operating on a different level. The food is outstanding, the beer selection is strong (especially if you're into IPAs), every major game is covered across wall-to-wall screens, and they even have a DJ on certain nights. What really sets it apart is the service. The manager, Manny, and his team created an experience that felt intentional, not transactional. When they saw we wanted to play dominoes, they didn't hesitate. They set us up with a proper table on the terrace so we could enjoy cigars, order cocktails, and settle in for the night without feeling rushed. That level of awareness and flexibility is rare. If you're in the Doral area and want a place that delivers on food, drinks, atmosphere, and experience, this is it. Whether you're catching a game or running a few rounds of dominoes, this spot earns a return visit.

Second the only table available was under the tv so we couldn't see and there was a whole other section "closed" where they were not seating people until we had to ask as few time, so not good on service and organization. When we could finally seat at a table to enjoy the game things improved a little, servers were friendly but you can feel the place is not organized, we really didnt even know who was really serving us, we kept asking to whoever walked by for things. The food took long and honestly food was ok nothing impressive, I would rather eat at any other sport bar nearby or even a franchise for burgers or chicken. The only thing I really liked was the margarita, perfectly made and very delicious (not made with mix but the real thing!) so cheers for that!

The cooks, servers, and even managers change so often that it's hard to find consistency. The ambiance is pretty nice, especially when they have sporting events. This is the most sought out place when it comes to that. In my personal opinion the food is nothing to go crazy for but it's not bad at all either. Just good enough to not be hungry. THE PROS: it has one of the fullest bars you'll find in the area. Their 29 degree cold beers are what they are famous for. The restaurant is also huge so they have capacity for as many big parties as you can imagine THE CONS: even though they count with an inside an outside bar, if you're getting table service your drinks will take 10-15 minutes. The wait for the food can get ridiculous too. You could be waiting for your appetizers over 30 minutes so don't come in expecting everything to come out quick All these issues could be fixed with better management. Like slowing down the sitting until the kitchen and bar has caught up with the orders or having the managers help around the employees. It's worth checking it out but at your own risk!

Everything comes out hot, fast, and way tastier than you'd expect from a place where half the crowd is busy sinking shots on the pool tables. The staff here? Absolute gems. They're quick, friendly, and somehow manage to keep the vibe fun without ever hovering. Whether you're ordering food, switching up your hookah flavor, or grabbing another round, they make it feel effortless. This place is a paradise for pool lovers. The tables are clean, well‑kept, and plentiful, so you're not stuck waiting forever. Whether you're a casual player or someone who takes their cue game very seriously, you'll find your groove here. The whole place has this electric, upbeat energy without ever feeling chaotic. Dim lights, great music, the sound of pool balls cracking, people cheering at the TVs--it all blends into a vibe that's fun, social, and totally addictive. If you want a spot where you can eat well, laugh loud, smoke smooth, shoot pool, and watch the game--all under one roof--Doral Billiards & Sports Lounge is the move.

I ordered the Double Stack burger; first thing I noticed was how stingy they were with the burger patties. It looked like they took a regular sized patty and split the meat in half in order to make a double stack burger, so the patties were tiny (see my picture). The burger was a little overcooked and dry; I requested a medium cooked patty and got it well-done. The French fries were perfect. The chicken in the quesadilla was a little dry, but the whole thing tasted good and had a good flavor. I also ordered a Mango Veza Sur beer from the tap; so refreshing, I love the local beer in Miami.
