Stopped by this location yesterday on my way back to Spokane, after watching my son at the Special Olympics.
My friend and I couldn’t believe we’d never been to a Famous Dave’s before, and LOVED it.
Our server/bartender, Bobby, was absolutely amazing.
Not only was he on top of it if we needed anything, he engaged in conversation with us, told jokes, kept us entertained through the meal.
He recommended the Feast for 2 when we couldn’t decide what we wanted, we both thoroughly enjoyed everything that came with it.
Bobby also recommended Margaritas for our drinks, since we couldn’t decide on those either, and they were damn good margaritas.
We will be back in for sure next time we are in the area, wish we were closer!

We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your meal with us.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
We hope we have the pleasure of welcoming you in again soon!

The young receptionist with glasses 🤓 it's very obvious that she doesn't like her job, 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😆, it looks like she hates working here 😄 she is young she has a long way to go, we all been there 🙂 but unfortunately for the restaurant she's the first person you see entering the restaurant and take you to the table… mm not good, (our waitress was very nice and friendly ) she has very good service 👍🏼👍🏼.
The food is good but it took like 37 minutes to bring the food after we ordered, I think it's a long time because There were not a lot of people in the restaurant “see the photos”.
When the person who brings the food brought us the appetizers she threw the small blue plates on the table for us 👎🏼👎🏼😕 and it looks like someone ripped a piece off a Chicken tender, they look like they are very stressed 🤷🏻‍♂️ oh who knows.
We'll see next time we come back to see how it goes.
They use to have a very good costumer service.
The waitress who served us was very kind and attentive, but the other people need better customer service.

Should you have any additional feedback you would like to provide, please feel free to email us at michael@famousdaveswa.com.

We went for a late lunch at 2 pm.
The service was slow from start to finish.
My order of a bowl regular menu item was small portion.

Owner response

Laura - We're sorry to hear that.
We pride ourselves on our legendary BBQ, and strive to make sure every order lives up to the hype.
We'll discuss these issues with our team, and hope you'll consider giving Famous Dave's a second chance.
