“ The meats are always juicy and delicious. I usually get the FAMOUS FEAST DINNER - St. Louis ribs, BBQ chicken, and beef brisket with Wilbur beans and greens with the corn on the cob. It is always good every time. The bread pudding is good. Not a fan of the Mac n cheese or Cole slaw. ”
“ Dined in with my mother and kids for a quick dinner after practice. The server Dawn, if I remember her name correctly, went out of her way to make my kids feel welcomed and happy. Which after a long day and practice is tough some times. Awesome job Dawn! Will definitely be coming back ”
“ I love this place. Delicious food and great service. I give GREAT COMMENDATION to Akasha our waitress. We really enjoyed her. Akasha is what customer service is all about. Friendly and willing to serve and help in whatever way she can. She makes it known through her attitude that she wants you there and happy to do her job. Great job and thank you. ”

“ We had a great experience at Famous Dave’s. We were waited on by Jamaurion. He was very attentive, kind, and always made sure we were doing well. The food tasted great and came out promptly after ordering. We will definitely be going back and looking for Jamaurion. He made tonight an awesome experience for my family. ”
“ I wish that I remembered the man cashier's name (tall African American man), but he was awesome. Here's why...he greeted me when I entered, he then actively looked for my order. Once he realized that there was an issue, he immediately worked toward a goo resolution. He showed great customer service skills and he didn't "panic" about anything. He remained calm and patient, so I remained calm and patient. Watching him actually made me want to work at this North Riverside Famous Dave's. He's definitely a keeper! ”
