    Brisket and Tri Tip
    Gladys P.

    Went to Famous Dave's in Long Beach about 12 years ago. Thought they had closed it down so went to the Rancho Cucamonga location. Found out it reopened in Long Beach! I know there's some haters out there but when I went, the ribs were fresh and "fall off the bone" juicy. My son was happy with the brisket and tri tips, not dry at all. There was a good size crowd in there so this place must know what it's doing.

    A few days ago I went to Redlands and talked about how attentive Mario was, and today I unexpectedly ended up at the Ranchocucamonga location with my coworkers. Well, surprise! Mario served me. If you want to guarantee good service, he's definitely the one. The food tastes so much better at this location. I was so satisfied that I ordered my desserts to go. It has a great atmosphere for lunch, and of course, the cornbread is delicious.

    Baked beans   Potato Salad

    We had the rib tips with potato Salad and baked beans The sides were pretty good and went well with the tips. We had a Watermelon margarita was strong and flavorful. The staff helped us quickly and she was helpful and got us served appropriately. We had originally ordered the burnt ends. We didn't like the sauce it was made with and we returned it. Large and clean restaurant and didn't have many people inside. It appears that there was a recent remodel of the restaurant. They served corn bread and it was sweet and delicious! We will Return and try something new.

    Party set up

    This year for my work Christmas Party, the bosses wanted to cater from Famous Dave's. I inquire through online and decided to go with The Double Dave catering option that feeds for 50 ppl that has Cornbread, BBQ Chicken, Tri Tips, Coleslaw, and Potato Salad with utensils and serving tongs that costed $1127.50. The rep was extremely helpful and answered any questions I have since it's my first time using them and wasn't sure what to expect. I'm glad we were able to pick up the food before their opening time at 11 since that's the time our party starts. The day of the pick up was easy. The dishes were more than enough to feed. Everyone loved it and wiped out their plates clean. We would definitely use them again. Thank you for the success in our party. We can't wait to use you again.

    "The presentation was nice and the portions were generous. I personally prefer more flavor in my BBQ sides -- the beans and ribs weren't quite my style, but the mashed potatoes were decent. The cornbread was sweeter than I expected. Staff was friendly and the food came out quickly." I wouldn't go back

    Cornbread
    Javier S.

    Awesome BBQ & Service! First time at this location of Famous Dave's. The wait time was not too bad for a good BBQ place, around 20-25 minutes. We were seated just after two large parties, so we knew there would be a bit of a wait for food, but our server Jose took great care of us while we waited. We had the BBQ chips, so warm, fresh, crunchy, and delicious. We also tried the cornbread. Now this was a nice, sweet treat, buttery and soft as well. For our main, we had the Loaded Baked Potato with Pork. Now this was a filling meal. The potato tasted like a high-end steakhouse, cooked to perfection. This was topped with the tender and very flavorful pork and crispy onions. The cheese, sour cream, butter, and BBQ sauce were served on the side. I wanted to get the coleslaw as well; this was crunchy, sweet, and so delicious! With my meal, I also tried the Black Cherry Lemon Soda. This gave my taste buds quite a surprise, like drinking a sparkling soda made of Nerds candies, yum! The atmosphere was a little on the loud side, but what you would expect from a large restaurant. Loved all the funny signs on the walls. As for service, this was a great experience, from the greeting from the hostess to our server Jose (who was awesome, by the way). Definitely made the experience great.

    Fried Mac & Cheese Bites
    Dajuan F.

    The food was really delicious! The ribs, bbq chicken, Mac & cheese bites & Corn bread were a hit! Famous Jose Had really great service and was very Nice and knowledgeable. The Atmosphere was very nationalistic and lively. We'll definitely be back soon.

    Feast for Two
    Shannon R.

    Went on Valentine's Day. Family of three and we shared the feast for two. We also ordered a side salad. My family eyes went wide eyed when they brought the food out. We were all satisfied. My daughter was a fan of the ribs and cornbread. My hubby enjoyed the ribs and potato's salad. I enjoyed the bbq baked beans, cornbread, and the chopped pork. Service was great. They checked in on us.I enjoyed the ambiance. Felt like we were inside a barn. We enjoyed the wall decor. Plenty of parking.

The biggest disappointment was the brisket. It was dry, overcooked, and lacked the juicy tenderness that good BBQ brisket should have. The baby back ribs were the only item I actually enjoyed. They were tender and cooked well, although the sauce leaned a little too sweet for my personal taste. Now let's talk about the Smoked pork belly burnt ends... what was that? I absolutely love pork belly, but this missed the mark completely. It was extremely overcooked, dry, and had none of the rich, melt-in-your-mouth texture that makes pork belly so good. Calling it "burnt" shouldn't mean serving something that's dried out. In my opinion, this item either needs a complete overhaul or should just be taken off the menu. I also used to love their mashed potatoes, but this time they were disappointing. They weren't creamy, buttery, or rich like I remembered. It honestly tasted like something was missing. Overall, this visit was a letdown. I gave Lucille's another shot hoping my opinion would change, but unfortunately it didn't. While the baby back ribs were decent, the rest of the meal fell well below expectations. I don't see myself coming back.

The outlaw was about $40. I also ordered a side of salad and a baked potato which came with the steak. The food arrived fairly quickly amd we dug in. It was very tasty. The streak was cooked perfectly but the baked potato could have used more toppings. I ordered an extra side of sour cream. The steak was bomb. It was well seasoned and delicious. It was a nice spot and the service was very fast as well.
