What Angie M likes about Famous Dave's:
The wait staff here is fabulous. They are very fast and friendly. There are 10 meals under $10 at lunch. So very affordable. I love the bbq options for kids. Love the sweet and spicy bbq and homemade pickles. The burnt ends are a must! View all feedback. What Cliff And Judy R doesn't like about Famous Dave's:
This is my third time receiving cold food in a month. It's disappointing that they can't even reheat the food properly. I think they should consider replacing the cooks and managers and revamp this place. The franchise owners in this area seem to prioritize profits over the quality of the food. View all feedback.

read moreFamous Dave's in Des Moines offers a mixed experience. Some diners rave about the friendly waitstaff, affordable lunch options, and delicious BBQ. Others, however, complain of consistently cold food and poor service. Despite this, the delivery service during Covid impressed many with generous portions and timely delivery. The overall consensus is that the food is fantastic, but the service can be hit or miss. Famous Dave's seems to be a solid choice for a casual BBQ meal, with potential for improvement in certain areas.
