Famous Dave’s

Love famous Daves the food is always good and hot. Staff is always nice and friendly. Good portions for the price, especially the lunch menu. Hey and they have sweet tea Jack.

What a surprise. Have had BBQ eat to west and north to south and this was the absolute best. Place absolutely spotless. We split the Texas Brisket /​Chopped Pork, brisket was unreal, sides were quality too, yummy Mac /​Cheese and Creamy, fresh Slaw. The Georgia Mustard my favorite sauce, the Mrs. liked Wilbur’s revenge sauce, their hottest which I tried and only tasted pain. Excellent service. Go here and you will not be disappointed. If you are, tell them why and I believe they’ll try to sort it for you. Loved the interior, Montana log cabin feel — and with ESPN HD in the lounge.

Used to love coming here as it was one of my favorite spots to eat. Now the last 3 times it has gotten progessively worse each time. Last time my wife’s chicken strips were were over seasoned and had a funky taste. Today I had an ultimate burger and I literally could of gone to McDonald’s and gotten a ¼ pounder that was fresher and cooked today. My wife had the brisket and I swear they took it out of the fridge and microwaved it. So for the price and the quality of food go somewhere nice. The service is still great though so no complaints there.

Had lots if trophies for being the best at a lot of things HA! They’re the WORST at pretty much everything, especially customer service! Not from here and I will never come back to this place to eat. Rude wait staff, disrespectful management, and immature staff. The only person worth a positive review was our hostess she was the only one pleasant and nice. Food was good but not worth the money and especially not worth the lack luster service we received! PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS! I would honstly rather eat at a McDonald’s than eat here again!

So happy to find Dave’s LATE on a Friday night as we were traveling I-​90. Went in 10 minutes before they closed & asked if I could place a carry out order — which they were happy to do. The staff member who greeted me and the bartender who ended up being the one who I placed the order with were both extremely helpful & friendly.
The food was awesome — we went with BBQ pork, Mac & cheese & cornbread. We were not only grateful for the delicious food but how friendly they were!

We enjoyed our meal a lot! Service was great, food was great and iced tea was great! I have nothing but good things to say about this restaurant

Do not know where to start. Asked if a table would be okay for 2, agreed since it was lunch time and booths seated 4 or more, next couple got the booth, we got the table next to the bathroom, men come out carrying the towel, why is that? Service extremely slow, waitress had to stop and visit with friends and family. After a comnent of «I be back in a second to get the cash, she visited for 5 minutes, yes, I wear a watch. Scrounged around for cash, tip was a bit on the light side, but she «earned» it. Unfortunateky her I get a metal for showing up does not cut it in food service. Food blah, anyway

Free wifi at a BBQ restaurant. Can’t beat that. Food was absolutely delicious and the hospitality in this restaurant was even better. Our server was friendly and energetic. Overall, we had a great time there.

Made a stop for the night in Bozeman during a summer motorcycle ride. Great BBQ and beer!

Overall all the food, service and atmosphere was good. I could do without as many kids in a restaurant, but I’m not going to ding them for that.
The food was good, but I have had better. For the prices is not bad if your in the mood for their kind of food. I love that they have a bunch of sauces for every pallet.
The side dishes were good as well.

Hey it is what it is,
A chain barbecue restaurant. However in Bozeman it’s by far the best place to me. The one true test for well cooked que is when you bite into the meat whatever kind it is it must fall off the bone. Que meat should not be something you nawl at a bone to acquire. If your are nawling (yeah it’s a country term, but your picking up what I am putting down), don’t return to the restaurant.
I really like their rib tips, they are seasoned well and nice sized. Their sides are plain at best! They have a decent happy hour at this place. Seating is more than ample, the place is clean and the service is good too.
Bottom line go hear for que in Bozeman, if you want the real deal, head to the southeast!!!
Happy trails!!!

Food was good service was horrible. Waitress behind bar basically ignored me. Kept looking at me but would not come over to take my order but she visited each table many times before coming back to me. Chain restaurant service.

In a word, horrid. Slow service, fatty pork, and it all tasted bad. I will never be back. It is a mystery how such a terrible restaurant can manage to stay open.
I wish Texas Roadhouse would open a restaurant in Bozeman and run Infamous Dave’s out of business.

I have eaten at Famous Daves a few times now and I have always left pleased and full.
If you are looking for a place to sit down and have some filling, classic american family style food, this is the place to go.
Every time I have eaten here, we have purchased one of the family style platters. They are very good and have everything you could want for the appropriate amount of people.
The BBQ, Brisket and roasted chicken are all very good, moist and very flavorful. All of the sides that accommodate the meats are fantastic.
If you like this kind of food, and you’re hungry, this joint is never a bad decision.

Hands down the WORST bbq I have ever had. Perhaps my standards are a bit high since I’m form Texas and the bbq there is always top notch. However… I doubt that it’s just my skewed perception.
I was in town for work and we selected this restaurant because three in our party (including me) can’t eat gluten. BBQ is typically an easy fix for gluten allergies. Well, not here. The waitress brought over a gluten free menu that was so out dated that I had to ask questions about lots of other stuff on the menu (which is frustrating). The choices were few an far between. So i ended up ordering a loaded baked potato with brisket on top with a side of steamed broccoli.
The broccoli was overcooked and swimming in butter. Not quite the low calorie option I was hoping for. The potato was small, dried out and had very few toppings on it. A spoonful of cheese for a «loaded» potato… really?! And then there was the brisket topping for my potato… wow. It tasted as if it had been siting under a heat lamp for 12 hours. Dried out, hard crunchy bits around the edges. Yuck.
I’m glad this is not a chain we have in Texas. It would have failed long ago.

Real decent environment and servers. I ordered the brisket which must have been cut to soon before serving because it was tender, but a bit dry. The sweet corn and the beans were fantastic!
My wife ordered the grilled salmon, which looked to be cooked perfectly and must have been good, because it disappeared very quickly.
Over all a very satisfying meal and a great environment.

A solid four stars. Had the feast for one — ribs, chicken, pork with cole slaw, mashed potatoes, corn and beans. Finished it off with bread pudding. Everything was delicious. All of it. Sadly, here was no way to finish it all but I tried mightily! Great service, too.
Will definitely be back. Very satisfied.

This place has a fun and inviting vibe, with sports on the tv’s in the bar area. There is a separate dining area more geared towards families. I got the bbq chicken platter with broccoli and corn. My co worker got the brisket with beans and fries. Both meats were perfectly cooked, tender & juicy. 6 different sauces to choose from on the table. All of the sides were delicious, corn was on the cob and just the right texture, fries were thick and crispy. Both platter came with corn bread. I’m usually not a fan of corn bread but it’s so so good. Great service.

In a word: repugnant… I knew going into Famous Dave’s that they do «Memphis-​style» bar-​q-​que, so I was prepared for that. What I wasn’t prepared for was my plate of ribs emerging from the kitchen cold and covered in congealed sauce. They were so congealed they were stuck to the plate. I tilted it sideways and the food didn’t move. It was like Donald Trump’s hair.
I waited for the waitress to come back so I could have her throw them in a microwave and heat them up, but she disappeared. Actually, the entire staff — including the bartender, disappeared for 15 minutes. So, I nibbed on a cold rib and shed tears into it, hoping to improve the taste. It did not. My sides were also cold and disgusting.
When the waitress came back and saw that I only had eaten 1 rib she didn’t ask if anything was wrong or how I liked my meal. She said, «here’s your check» and skipped off.
By that point, I was pretty pissed and my stomach was already upset, so I left. Only to come right back in and spend about 10 minutes in the bathroom.
Famous Dave’s. More like: Famous Dumps.

Homemade mashed potatoes are the way to my heart… and great barbeque makes the trek even easier! For a chain, and for being located in a northern state, Famous Dave’s sure has some tasty BBQ. And I may have New Yorker taste buds but I know what I find to be delish and the BBQ combo platter was just that.
BBQ Chicken and Brisket with Garlic Mashed, Drunken Apples, and a corn muffin. Yeah. I was full. The chicken fell right off the bone and it was perfectly acceptable to eat with my fingers! I’ve had better brisket but this was still very good.
Our waitress was friendly, the service was fast– an overall great experience.
I can’t wait to see if the MD locations are just as good!
