    Side salad
    Tony H.

    I usually order barbecue from here like the family feast which is really good. But this time I ordered the devils spit burger and I was a bit unsatisfied only because I felt like I had a burger from Carl's Jr but for $17. The drinks from the bar were wack. The food there is great but not the burgers. My wife had the chili and side salad which I don't really think she enjoyed the "award winning chili" but the salad was good it's kinda hard to mess up a salad. This location is shared with carinos Italian. If you go here, stick to the barbecue. Handicap parking is in front and parking is readily available for you to park.

    We came for dinner. I was seated almost in the kitchen. Not my idea. There were lots of tables available, and I got stuck here. I ordered ribs, corn on the cob, pineapple, and a muffin. Everything tasted pretty good. The waiter came by and refilled my friend's drink. I had to chase him down to refill mine. The food was very expensive. Cost $83 for one meal for two people.

    My family and I got seated immediately which was awesome. We like ordering appetizers & our entrees at the same time that way our food comes out quick. So I tried ordering some appetizers and the waitress said they ran out every single time. Carrying on, I ordered a brisket sandwich but they gave me something different. I don't like to make things difficult so I just ate it. My daughter ordered a cheeseburger and said it was good. By the time we got home my family and I got sick, and caught a stomach flu. This was the only place we ate that day, I'm not sure if it was the bbq sauce or the cornbread we all ate.

    Have you ever walked into a place and felt like you've been there before because you have ! This restaurant has been split and half. I love that the food was delicious. I can eat this cornbread every day. I had a nice time with my dad. Five stars.

    Great service, great food. Kids got the chicken tenders , hubby got the tacos (one of each) ; MIL got a Cesar salad , and I got the fried chicken and ribs. Everything was delicious. Corn bread was 10/10 Customer service by Jose was great. Recommend grey drinks , and he was helpful Would recommend to come here.

    Night and Day between these two restaurants.

    Update from my previous Yelp of Famous Daves. Great location. Odd to see it against another restaurant that looks as though the owners have up on it in comparison to Famous Daves.

    It was my first time trying Famous Dave's, and it was pretty good. The sides it came with were decent. The coleslaw and beans were on the sweeter side and the potato wedges were nice and fresh. I was hoping there was an option to change the sides, but the waitress told me you can't change anything and it comes as is. The fried chicken was nice and crispy and it had a nice flavor. Overall, the experience was nice.

    Order 16 0oz. Ribeye to go cost $46 charge extra $2.50 for the container. Got home and steak was rare almost raw with a ton of gristle when I asked for medium rare.

    I was really looking forward to a great BBQ meal, but unfortunately the food fell short overall. The dessert was the highlight of the visit -- it was delicious and definitely the best part of the experience. The corn wasn't sweet, and by the time butter arrived, both the bread and corn were too cold to enjoy. The ribs were also disappointing, though I did enjoy the brisket, which had good flavor and texture. For me, price isn't the issue -- I'm happy to pay as long as the quality is there. I hope this restaurant takes the opportunity to improve both the food and service because there's definitely potential. The atmosphere was OK

    I've been waiting for a restaurant for famous Dave's to open in Downey. We've been going to Johnie Carina's to pick and and take home. So I got a flyer for a free brisket sandwich that came with fries. A $21.00 value with no purchase necessary. So I grabbed one of my grandsons and went to eat inside. First the place is really cute inside also very clean. We were greeted by everyone. Our waitress was fantastic she was friendly and I felt so welcomed. Almost like I knew her. Now for the food We got the free brisket sandwich delicious Also rib tips ( best I've had in along time) yummm on the fried pickles. The tacos were packed brisket and pork. The fried chicken was okay not bad but I went for BBQ. The coleslaw not bad. I will definitely go back next time I wanna try the brisket egg rolls.

    Staff was really friendly but the food was salty we weren't even able to eat it. Would have returned it the return drive was to far.
