There is a Famous Dave's BBQ opening (Monday is the grand opening) a mile or so
from my place. Looks pretty good so far. They cook over real hickory.

Anybody ever eaten at one of these? And was it good?
Thanks
Dave

Went to a Famous Dave's in Tucson a couple of times last winter. We liked it
for pork, ribs, burnt ends. Brisket was dry. Sides OK.

Where is your Famous Dave's located?

Grandville Michigan (suburb of Grand Rapids). They are also building another
one on the other side of Grand Rapids.

If ya don't feel like cooking yourself its not to bad--sometimes---have had
some decent spares there--their brisket comes to the store already
cooked--and taste like it.. There sides are good---in fact have been known
to order the bread pudding first so I had room for the whole piece! And the
beer is usually cold

There was a long thread here started on 12/12/03 about a new FD's that
opened in New Jersey- do a Google Groups search for "Famous Dave's" or
click:

Thanks for that. Sounds like the bread pudding is good from the thread and the
que is sorta ok. I'll give them a try and see what I think.

According to to a trade publication I subscribe to, Famous Dave's has been
wrapped into a corporate chain... can't remember which one at the moment.
Expansion is now the primary goal as the corporation wishes to take
advantage of the burgeoning barbecue craze that's sweeping the land. I've
eaten at two in the last two years. Mediocre compared to the many of the
real 'Q joints I've frequented, and nowhere near what I do at home. It's
better than a McRib, though.

The one in Snellville GA is BAD.
