For my first time there, I was impressed. Shy as I am, each time the wait staff brought out trash can lids full of food chanting "FEAST!" I shrunk in the booth. Luckily I didn't order a "feast." But I did order one of the least-expensive meat combos (rib tips, $10.99) and got a MUCH fuller plate than my date, who ordered a two-meat combo (ribs and brisket, $17.99).  I went home with what felt like a 5-pound box of leftovers! I loved the green beans and sweet mashed potatoes sides. And the various barbecue sauces were fun to the taste at the table. Definitely a place to take friends or family. And the service was excellent.

I can only give three stars based on the fact that what I had was eaten and served at home. Today was my birthday and my mom and dad surprised me with a thick slab of Famous Dave's Bread Pudding. It came pre packaged with instructions, but most of all, it was pretty darn good. Actually pretty darn good doesn't quite explain it. It may be because I haven't had dessert in ages (eating disorder) but I ate most of this piece and licked the plate clean...seriously. The pecan caramel sauce was delectable, the ice cream was creamy and smooth, and the pudding itself- HEAVEN. It was great being at home without the waiters hovering over your shoulder as you blow out a candle and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't of been able to have licked the plate....My dad said the lady that helped him out was a little slow but whatever. THE BREAD PUDDING HAD ME AT FIRST BITE!!!

Ribs were delicious but chicken was very dry and not that great to eat.

I am going back to Champs!

Dave's continues to draw a big dinner crowd most evenings. We tried the BBQ Tour, which samples four of the featured BBQ meats. We also had a bowl of Dave's chili. Everything was fine, but nothing was special or great or outstanding. If you want a big meal, the tour will meet the bill, but if you want great taste, Dave's isn't all that interesting. The food is OK, but nothing special, and no bargain.
