No need to be condescending, and I guess there's no really reason for you to apologize for your sorry ass portion sizes, which you sort of admitted to. I'm not a hard guest to please, I just want what my $31 (NOT "$27.82", You don't even know your own prices on your own menu, after up charges) should be giving me product wise. All in all, your barbecue isn't all that great, it's just better than some of the other places that really suck. How dare you insult my intelligence, and sit there all smug and not even offer an apology. Not even ask me if I would consider coming back. I don't want compensation, I don't want a refund, I wanted you give me the amount of food I paid for. Maybe a little bit of grace for my decades long patronage. Your place is piss poor, and I'll never ever ever be back to another one ever again. So go ahead and wipe that grin off your face, go back to college & learn how to run a business that appeases all people, not just locals. You're so vain & tone deaf, you sit here & act like my pictures are actually going to entice people to go there. No need to "wish me luck" on my smoker. My brisket and pulled pork would blow your fast food franchise brisket and pulled pork out of the water ANY DAY. Since you want to be a smart mouth, I'm taking off another star. Original review below: I've been to a few famous Dave's here and there in my day, quite a few times. A LOT actually. So being out here in Sioux City Iowa & not really eating for the past couple days, I decided to go with a brand that I trusted. Cutting carbs, & going mainly carnivore is what I'm back to until I shed a few pounds. Been goin on a month so far. I didn't physically go to this location, I ordered off of GrubHub. But felt confident because of all the times I've frequented these across the country. I think that all changes today. I typically don't order a whole lot of barbecue, & typically 1 out of every 4 or 5 make the cut, & also because I make competition smoked meats on my Backwoods Lil Chubby G2 reverse flow competition water/wood smoker, & it's unfair for me to be a judge of a barbecue place because of my bias, & my uncanny talent in a smoke pit, but this is 1 place that I continued to go to because of consistency past. I ordered a 2 meat plate. Brisket (which was an upcharge) & jalapeno cheddar sausage. I ordered steamed broccoli, & a side Caesar salad (or their version of it) for a $2.50 up charge. The brisket wasn't actually bad at all, it's a lot better than a lot of other places I've eaten, but seriously, 4 slices? The sausage was fine. Normal big size sausage. I can't wrap my head around how you're charging me an extra 2.50 for a side Caesar salad, that is literally just What looks like McDonald's shredded lettuce, compared to the cost of what your beans, mac n cheese & other side dishes cost. I ordered the most cost-effective and profitable meal for you guys to make. I get it, times are hard right now for some, but this is really insulting. Including the tip for my driver of $7, this whole meal came to $41 & some change. The amount of food that I just got, comes in WAY below The typical 30% restaurant food cost. I probably got MAYBE $4 worth of meat & that's being generous. Looking at pictures of the brisket sandwich, it looks like the sandwich comes with twice as much meat so that also has me perplexed. Broccoli don't cost nothing. Shredded lettuce don't cost nothing. Since I'm cutting carbs, I only took one little nibble of the cornbread and threw it in the trash. Along with the other slice of bread that was on underneath my insult of brisket slices. The cornbread was actually really good. Too bad I can't eat it. I'm pulling a star, because your workers didn't pay attention when I asked for utensils & napkins. So I had to march my butt up to the truck stop while my food sat and got colder to get forks & napkins. What once was a reputable brand, a staple, a barbecue joint I had faith in, has now been cast away in the file with all of the other lackluster BBQ joints out there. I honestly can't see myself ever coming here, or to any other one, ever again. Read my review of Pops Place BBQ joint in Alabama. Look at my pictures, and see what $40 got me over there! LITERALLY 5X THE AMOUNT OF FOOD. I had enough food left over to last me 2 days after, & after eating this crap from famous Dave's, I am actually still really hungry. I am very very disappointed at Famous Daves. Do better. ***DISCLAIMER*** This pure, uncut, honest review is federally protected under Federal Law by way of Bill #EO14149.

Make sure to watch their Facebook page for updates on when they will be open and when they are sold out for the day. They also will give you a preview of what the menu is for the day and what is upcoming. I hear the seafood that they do is amazing. I can't wait to be there for that sometime. If you're on historic fourth in downtown, Sioux City, you won't see a restaurant with this name. Look for the bar Major's and as long as they are serving, you have found your place! This place is a sports bar with plenty of TVs, beer on tap, and your basic mixed drinks. So grab some barbecue, grab a beer, and watch a game while you stuff your face!
