“ I've placed several catering orders with this location & I would recommend them for catering large gatherings. ”
“ I live in San Diego and we don't have FD, but I started account and have been ordering for my sister in Fairfield. I came to do small family gathering with nephew in bay area and decided to use them to cater. From a person with 40 years catering and events planning experience, I can tell you that FD is "Over the To" EXCEPTIONAL." Every single item was amazing. The servings were great. The customer service was great. This was the first time that I have ever been given enough cutlery, sauce and plates. I am super impressed. Lastly, this location is absolutely beautiful. Very clean, nice layout and very professional and friendly staff. ”
“ We're rarely in this part of the Bay, but recently found ourselves here and stumbled on this location of Famous Daves. Walked in and the place is huge. It seems newly built inside and out, with fresh everything from table and chairs to TVs and menus. Suffice to say, it felt sparkling clean inside. But worried that on this Saturday early dinner, it was relatively empty. We dropped in on a night when the Dodgers (yuck) were playing in the postseason. But surprised it wasn't on. Had to ask one the waiters to put the game on one of the 20 TVs they had going on. I really think it's the bartenders job to know what's going on sportswise on the day of their shift. And tune the games to show. Oh well, I ordered up a beer and one of the combo plates that you get to pick your meats. Got me some ribs of course and some brisket. The ribs were nice and tender and not fall off the bone. Which I like. It had some bite to it. Don't like when it just comes off the bone. Mines came without sauce, but there's a bunch of bottles on the table that you can dress your meat to your liking. The brisket was also good, tender and juicy. I've been to Texas a bunch of times, so it would be unfair to compare a chain to a local Texas joint. That said, this place does BBQ pretty decently, and I would not hesitate to come back here for the food and vibes. ”
“ I remember going to the original Famous Dave's about twenty years ago in Minneapolis. Good food for not a whole lot of money. So I was psyched when I saw they had grown out of their midwestern roots and set up a restaurant in alameda. Checked it out with my fam. And yeah. Some things have changed. The seating area is modern and bright but has lots of good nooks to eat with your people. Felt a bit sad it was empty at 7:30 pm on a Saturday night. Maybe alamedans don't party late? Ordered the feast for two despite having four people cuz some of us weren't that hungry. That was a good call as the plate that arrived was huge and could have easily fed four hungry people. Lots of leftovers I think. This is a Midwest bbq so it's different from Texas or South Carolina. Good in its own right. I find it a bit sweet. The provided sauces were good but wish there was even more choice. Oh yeah, the onion rings were on the smalll side but the two sauces they came with were yummy. Good beer selection. Anyway, I hope they find their vibe because I'd like them to stick around a while. ”
“ TIP: order on the app to receive discounts Decent bbq in Alameda. The meals come with 2 sides and a corn bread which fills me up. I ordered in their app and did takeout order. The process was very quickly, my takeout order was completed as soon as I got to the restaurant. They typically have latex food gloves (for those who don't want to get their fingers dirty), today they didn't give me any. WHAT I ORDERED St louis style spareribs (4 pc) Sweet corn Mashed potatoes Corn bread App has $3 off $15, total came out to be $22 including tax. ”
“ BBQ- great restaurant for barbecue! Famous St Louis baby back ribs! Lots of flavor and side meal options ! Great service and lots of parking . Love it ”
