We came here last weekend for lunch and wasn't disappointed. The food was cooked perfectly. We got the hickory chicken sandwich with fries and brisket sandwich with garlic mashed potato's. the food came out quickly and was piping hot. Our soft drinks were constantly being filled up without us having to ask. Again Famous Dave's makes this a great experience. We are looking forward to our return visit.

The BBQ was good but not outstanding. They did have a few good beers on tap. The service was friendly and prompt.

We placed our order inside a converted railroad passenger car and then chose to sit outside on the porch under an umbrella, or we could have eaten inside the railroad car, which had a rather plain interior. The brisket sandwich was overflowing with tender cuts of beef and was excellent. I also opted for the potato salad, which was just average. Instead, I could have had one of several choices, including green beans (probably what I should have gotten), and macaroni & cheese. Those in our group who had the special sandwich made the best choice and were pleased.
