Famous Dave's -b-que - Mesa

The food here is absolutely delicious and highly recommended! Our waitress was kind and friendly, and she deserves a big thumbs up! If you can, try to grab a table near the bar, as that's the coolest spot in the restaurant. Otherwise, the atmosphere is still warm and inviting.

It's disappointing that they no longer offer the potato salad! The food was just as delicious as we remembered. However, the service was a bit slow; we waited nearly half an hour for our order and drinks to arrive, even though the restaurant wasn't busy. This delay was due to the server, but the hostess also contributed by seating us in an area where the server hadn't started yet.

Famous Dave's has always been consistent. It's pretty okay BBQ grub, for the masses, but it's missing the depths of flavors and personality that comes from a joint run by a true Pit Master. The downside of pleasing and serving en masse is that their dishes are somewhat average. Their menu seemed a bit smaller that it used to be. A few new items. I typically order a mixed meat plate, because I can rarely make up my mind. This visit we had the St. Louis ribs, burnt ends, and Texas brisket. All were good, as always. The Mesa location is very casual and clean, not as rustic as some of the other locations I've been to. Several TV's showing sports many with planters hung directly in front of them, which made no sense. Very good service and the food always comes quickly. A good choice to get your BBQ fix.

The food here is good and reasonably priced. I ordered a brisket sandwich and would have preferred it on a thick slice of toasted bread instead of a burger bun. However, the portion of brisket was generous. I might be a little spoiled when it comes to barbecue since I truly enjoy it! While I can't give Dave's a full 5 stars because I've experienced some of the finest BBQ out there, we still had a lovely lunch, and the service was definitely 5+ stars.

This was the first time going to this place and it's absolutely worth going. So I went for my lunch at work and we only get an hour I went with 4 friends and they got all of our orders out in about 15-20 minutes at maximum. I personally got these sliders which was extremely enjoyable from it's presentation all the way to taste! Best part it was within the $15 range for my meal entirely. I'd absolutely recommend this place for any families or groups of people wanting to try something new! It's definitely a place for carnivores ????
