Review Famous Dave's Bar-b-que - Indianapolis

*Update... I ended up doing the jalapeño sausage this time. I definitely recommend it. This is the first time I have been to one of these places. My first impression was that it had a good atmosphere. It wasn't very busy but we went after lunch. I had the brisket and ribs with garlic mash potatoes. If you are a brisket lover like me, I would recommend not doing it here. It was alright, but their ribs were great. It's probably the better ribs I've had at a chain restaurant. Now both my wife and I could have eaten 4 or 5 of the muffins. I really should have looked to see if they sold them separately before I left. They had some good sauce options as well. Overall I would go back and do plenty of ribs.

Food was very good, very nice atmosphere, I popped in and out, but multiple rooms sizes to enjoy, sports area, secluded sectional for cozy or family.

Great BBQ for the price. Not like stopping at your local BBQ pit, but good! They do not have steak, which was disappointing for someone that was with us. The brisket is good though. They're kid friendly! My niece and nephew are the pickiest eaters and they both ate their food and more. Service is on point and food is good, you get large portions and it's cheap for everything you get! The main picture is the "feast for 2" that we had already taken 2 plates worth of food out of!

This restaurant was clean, nicely decorated, and bright. Our server was great. I asked him to repeat his name, but I still didn't get it (something like Duwan), but nonetheless, he was terrific. The food for my husband was "fantastic" according to him. I do not like spicy food, so I order ribs, grilled pineapple, and mac n cheese. The mac n cheese had corn in it and something spicy / hot. I didn't like it, so my hubby ate it. I would go back, but order something different.

Great food and menu . Beer is a tad expensive, but ice cold. I like the devil spit spicy bbq sauce

Took awhile to be sat but we quickly realized there was a charter bus finishing up and only one server. Our appetizer of burnt ends was quickly served and delicious! Our server was excellent even tho she was super busy. Everything was pretty good other than the baby backs and the brisket.

Regular BBQ shop, nothing special. 10/20/18 We went this place for dinner in 4 months. I ordered 2 meats combo with side fries and Wilbur’s baked beans. My two children love their chicken wings combo too. We had a good time there. 4/12/19 3 of us went this place for the dinner. Everyone ordered 2 meats combo and 2 beers. Every order was executed exactly how we ordered. We had a great time.

The food was on point in taste. The ribs were NOT burned or dried out. The corn on the cob was great. The brisket was so tender. We ordered the feast for 2-3. A great value for the money. Everything was delicious 😋

Everything, I mean everything from the salad to the island icetea was wonderful.

We arrived at FD at 430pm and were seated by a friendly hostess who got us our drinks and explained that there was only 1 server for the whole restaurant and that he would be with us as soon as possible. After 27 minutes we gathered our things to leave, placing cash on the table for the drinks. The waiter appeared and apologized. We decided that it wasn't his fault and we put in our order. Perhaps the manager was helping in the kitchen and couldn't help the server. Our food arrived quickly but was not up to what we were used to at another FD that we frequent. Pulled pork was dry, chicken was cold. A side dish was left off the plate. We will not return to that location, and are not enthusiastic about any FD meals in the future. We did see the manager come out and talk to another table of diners (at the booth behind ours) that were questioning their bill, but he never stopped by to thank us for our patience or apologize for the wait.

Great atmosphere and some of the best BBQ I've ever had! Love their baked beans, too! I had the pork sandwich and my husband had the brisket platter. All delicious. We'll definitely be back!
Kevin Smith
Had the brisket and pulled pork. Everything was fantastic. There was 36 people in our group and the smells as they served everyone was killing us. But was very worth the wait. And the corn muffins are to die for.
Angel Walker

Had lunch there this week for the first time ever. Food was delicious and brisket was better than I've ever had. Highly recommend this place and we will be back!!

It was late afternoon took 10 minutes to get our order. Then we waited 25 min for our food and we had to wait on a couple things then. They were not busy at all. The food was ok, the ribs where almost dry and the fries where warm at best. There are other BBQ places that are better. Have been to Famous Daves 2 times. Can't say I will ever go back.

My family and I went on Father's Day. We did not have a reservation but did not mind waiting the hour and twenty mins. While there were people being nasty and rude, our experience was great. Once we got seated our waitress was very attentive and funny. She stayed on top of our drinks and our food came out right and delicious 😋Thank you for making it a great father day for my dad and husband!

My grandson & I were out for some quality time together. Eating at Famous Dave's was great! I was on a limited budget and still enjoyed the burnt ends & my little man loved his chicken finger meal. Good Food & Great Service!

First time here. Wasn't very busy. Waitress was very pleasant and smiling!! Our food was fantastic!!! Chicken was really moist and delicious!! Refills on drinks were on spot!! Definitely go back again... Oh by the way, in case I haven't mentioned it, the food was delicious!!!
Betsy Fosnight
Brisket was so dry! Coleslaw tasted like a dirty bathroom smells!! Sorry I wish I was kidding! It’s too expensive to not be 100% good!!
Greta Kimble
Everything I had was great. I had rib tips and chicken wings with mashed potatoes and green beans with a corn bread muffin and sweet tea.
Penny K. Pace-Riley
The wait staff was amazing! Best wait staff I have seen in along time.

We normally get great service & food. However, this past Sunday things weren't great. It was just my husband and myself & we were seated directly next to a large party of loud and excitable people, making it difficult to hold a conversation with my husband. The waitress wasn't very expedient. The ribs that my husband got were dry, not tender at all & on the bland side. The chicken that he had was tasty but not hot. I had the shrimp po boy and that wasn't the shrimp were cold & the catfish tenders were over cooked. We were both disappointed in this visit. Not sure that I would desire to go back. �
