Pretty ok for dine in, takeout out or a catered party. I've had Famous Dave's a couple of times now. It's ok for a franchise rib joint. It's neither sublime nor ****. It's good, not super authentic or knock your socks off great, nor is it mediocre. The coleslaw is really good, very rich and just right edge and tang to it. It's zesty and I like my coleslaw zesty. Mac and cheese is good, but definitely a little different. They add corn to their own recipe. I don't get it, but it's ok. It makes for extra crunch, I suppose. To each his own, I say. The bbq ribs, the mainstay of any rib restaurant, are okay. The sauce is good, the profile of flavors seems right and the portions are good. My ribs have always been cooked properly, no complaints on this. Are they award winning and a masterpiece? Nah, but they're good enough, relatively tasty and filling and the sauce is good, if not particularly wowed by their taste. They need a few more options if you're dining with vegetarian minded family, but it's a decent place e for ribs as long as you don't mind knowing what you're getting. Service and location are average, food is decent, price is ok...
