Reviews for Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que in Tacoma, WA
There is so much i wanna try on their menu and my next wil be the ribs. Our server welcomed us first timers and introduced us... to their new menu. She was sweet I like her accent It was cute. The inside of the restaurant was pretty cool. It smelled reallygood and very clean. We got there around 5pm and they weren't busy but in time people started comin. I ordered Barbecuechicken, pulled pork that sits on a piece of toast, corn bread and you choose 2 sides. I got the garlic mash and sweet cornalong with a margarita of course. The chicken is fall off the bone juicy. You gotta put some butter on the corn bread and oh ittastes even more better. They have 3 bottles of barbecue sauce on the table from spicy to sassy sweet. Tried sassy sweet and wowit worked good with food. I wanna thank my server I forget her name but thank you for checking on us and refilling our water. Read more
The decline of an icon. It’s so sad went there with my family to enjoy a platter of bbq but didn’t get to enjoy a glass of... water. We were seated then forgotten and waited patiently for over 15 minutes with not even one acknowledgement. No drink offer,not even a hello or glance as the staff passed us over 15 times. After waiting, I asked the front desk if I could speak to amanager and was told there wasn’t one. I really hope the franchise owner and corporate sees this review and does somethingabout what’s happening there. Included is a photo of the outside so you can know to just keep going when driving throughTacoma. Update: The apparent owner of this Famous Dave’s posted their information to contact them and I responded back tothem and still have not heard anything back from them. I assume they were attempting to diffuse this review. Again they are nonresponsive to reviews like this. Makes me wonder if the other attempts from the other reviews were faced with this sameexperience. Still a no go for me and my family to this establishment. Read more
Went for my Birthday. Food was good as always. Ribs were fall off the bone tender. The brisket melted in our mouths. The... macaroni & cheese wasn't it's usual mildly spicy, which was a disappointment, but was still good. While not cheap, it was wellworth it, and our server was friendly, and even brought me a complimentary ice cream dessert. One of our party has a honeyallergy, and our waitress checked on what if anything had honey in it. Read more
These are small portions for the price you're paying this chicken legging thigh the dark meat was very small this is not a good... value for your money. There wasn't any barbecue sauce on the meat or even a side of barbecue sauce I'm not sure what your famousfor but it seems you guys are famous for breaking my back pocket and giving me a marginal product one and done will never eathere again won't spend a dime here again what a sick joke.

Stopped in 5/28 around 8:30pm. We were seated right near the entry door. Our server was great! Sadly I don't remember her name... but she was very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. It was pretty empty so we got seated right away. I got a 3meat combo, my fiance got a pulled chicken sandwich. He was raving about how good his meal was all night. I enjoyed the brisketa lot, it was really good and super tender. I was not a fan of the burnt ends and just didn't eat them. They were pretty toughand a waste of money in my opinion. And the chopped pork was really good as well. Those cornbread muffins were amazing though!We got a half dozen to take home. All in all, it was a good first time at famous Dave's and we'll definitely be returning! Read more
The service is good here. The wait time around 6:00 pm isn't bad at all. We got seated right away for a party of 4 but there... are lots of open tables and can accommodate large parties. The food was OK. The BBQ chicken pieces looked decent but barelyhad enough to satisfy my hunger. The burnt ends had a good flavor but it was very tough and not enough to satisfy. The ribs wasa good choice, the meat fell off the bone. Read more
Great service. Super attentive. The restaurant was about 50% full. We got our drinks quick and stayed full during the whole... meal. Our meals came out about 15-20 min after placing our order. Which for our family was great. Allowing for us to visitwithout our mouths full of the good BBQ. My only real complaint was there was no butter for the corn or cornbread, but both werepretty good without it. Read more
The ribs were good. I come here to get the collard greens with my meal...they no longer serve the collard greens. So I got the... Mac and cheese instead. It was nasty. It seemed like it was old and reheated. It has corn(?) In it and it was tough. Very littlecheese. Not creamy like you would expect. So I ended up with garlic mash potatoes. Not what I came here for. I won't go back.I feel sorry for the servers. Ours at least, told us that they no longer serve the greens...last two times, we were told thatthey were out of them. They don't do the business that they used to. And the prices have gone way up. You definitely don't getwhat you pay for Read more
