Famous Dave's - Apple Valley

I used to like their catfish strips dipped in their sweet and sour sauce and/or remoulade. This is no longer on the menu. They have $5 specials, but you need to buy an overpriced beverage. I see no reason to ever come back.

We did an order pickup to take home for the hungry family. We did the bbq family feast the Cajun shrimp boil. Can't complain about the Feast: nicely bbq'd meats. The Cajun shrimp boil was a little disappointing, slightly watery and not very spicy (it is advertised as Cajun). The shrimp tasted like they came from frozen (not very fresh). There could have been a fight over the few shrimp in the dish IF they would have been fresher. On the happy side, Famous Dave's now offers whole Bakers Square pies!

We get take out from Famous Daves once a year. Never again. This was my dried out, burnt Georgian Pork Sandwich tonight

Ribs were soft and tender. Very flavorful and choices of sauces on the table. The service was excellent. Josh made us feel at home and welcomed. Compatible with Fox Brothers in Atlanta. The Brisket was good but I enjoyed the beans.

This place used to be great, unfortunately now the restaurant is only a name. The food subpar at best now days. Back 10 years ago you could order the half chicken meal and not be disappointed as it was a half chicken that was cooked to perfection. Now they serve frozen chicken quarters that you can buy from costco for 8 dollars a bag and overcook them. Guessing this was some sort of company wide cost reduction effort to keep the chain alive. unfortunately this just shows how out of touch corporate chains are. Out of the bbq options in the south metro this is last option i would order. Sorry Dave
