Consistently great barbecue! I love this place. Good food, good times, great people! Update: the new Cedar Plank Salmon is delicious and has 20% of the fat and calories as anything else on the menu! Well worth it!

The host was great, our waitress was super sweet and when there was an accident with our order, she took care of it right away. The food was great, everything cooked as it should be. Not too dry and over done.

We had a burger and a garden salad. The food was really good and excellent customer service. The place is spacious, clean and relaxed 😎

PROS: Delicious St. Louis Ribs and loved the collard green side. Fast, friendly and efficient service on a Saturday night. CONS: A bit pricey. Beer selection was pretty boring and run of the mill. Would I go back? Yup. Not frequently but every so often for a bit of a splurge.

****UPDATE AVAILABLE **** Always a great experience when I go to Famous Dave. My hubby and I absolutely love the catfish fingers that came to our table piping hot and yummy. The Ribs were amazing too. I recommend! Oh, let's not forget the adult beverages... UPDATE: FAST FORWARD. My girlfriends and I decided to do our Monthly get together here. I was so excited to take my one friend since she's never been. Unfortunately we had such a bad experience. Our server Melissa was terrible. Not one time did she come back to our table like she did her other tables to see if we were ok. Not once. I had to ask another server to get her for us, and she walked up and just stood there. No, can I help you? Nothing, just stood there. My friend did like the food, but the experience took away from the normal fun we have. Needless to say, our day ended with Melissa, the bad waitress, getting her manager. Can't have a good atmosphere without good service. Thank Melissa for your updated 1 star.

Came for my Husband birthday for lunch, The waiter advised of the salmon, I ordered this and chocked on long small bone. My husband showed this to the waiter( the waiter went to the back and came to our table with the excuse it's not our fault it was the company we ordered from) this is horrible I could of died. To top it off he didnt take it off the bill. Not happy I would love to talk to corporate I want my money back. I'm in disbelief

Chains can sometimes disappoint, but not this place. My favorite BBQ sauce (both at the supermarket and here). Had the ribs, and they are great. Service at this location is excellent, and food always hot and fresh. Photo below is the salad, and the rib and tip platter. The platter is way more than enough for 2. There was more food on it, I took it after we ate some of it.

Amazing food and service. Their Brisket, baked beans, and corn bread are all amazing. This is my second time eating at a Famous Dave's, and I have not been disappointed either time. If you're a BBQ fan, be sure to check this place out!

This has been our 3rd time coming here. I have not written a review for Famous Dave’s in a long time. This place is the place! Nice cooked food. Good service. Everything good. Covid19 safe. Good location. Too bad I don’t have one near me. Highly recommended!!

Let me start with over all this was a good experience. The food was good and warm not hot. Service was great. The price was also ok. Portions were average. I had the burnt ends plate. It would have been better if I had less fat. Not saying it wasn't enough meat. I just don't like fat in my food. I am a consumer who like the cards stacked in my favor.😂 Over all a good experience.

Overall, would not return. The baby back ribs were tough and the brisket was dry. The fried chicken was good, but too salty. Lastly, we did not like I the bbq sauce. Luckily, the coleslaw was delicious and the steak fries were perfect. But overall disappointing for a BBQ joint. Further, on a Saturday night it was practically empty. I must say that service was wonderful, we had a very friendly and nice server.

Waitress was wonderful Eating out with fussy Eating kids can be expensive and trying. Thank goodness our waitress and kitchen staff were very accommodating to my granddaughter, the fussy eater.

Really good barbecue (ribs, brisket, burnt buts, etc.), good draft selection & excellent service.

One of the best dining experiences in Novi! Simply great food, drinks and service.

Today Candace J was our server and she was absolutely awesome!!! She was friendly and had an excellent personality and her customer service was through the roof. The food was amazing I’ll definitely be back! There were no left overs!

Great low key spot for lunch and I’m all about the discounts for drinks

The waitress was friendly, but terrible. Didn’t check on us enough, didn’t ask if we wanted refills on our drinks… which we needed.

You go here for the food, and this place didn't disappoint. We loved the ribs and the cornbread muffins. (We both ordered the 4-rib dinner, thinking it might not be enough food. It was definitely plenty.) I wasn't crazy about being seated near the kitchen in a nearly empty restaurant, but we're not there for ambiance. We had no leftovers, and the only thing that could have tempted me to eat more was that legendary bread pudding. We'll always be back!

The food is always delicious at Famous Daves, but we specifically went back to this location because of our an excellent experience with our server, Ricky! He was so awesome, we requested him this afternoon! I couldn't remember his name at first, but the host at the front was very helpful and knew exactly who I was talking about and sat us in Ricky's section. Serving is not an easy job, but Ricky makes it look like a cake walk and is very kind, attentive and has a great sense of humor. Servers like Ricky are the reason some restaurants stay in business. So thanks again, Ricky, for yet another great experience. We will see you again soon! P.S. Ricky deserves some type of raise or bonus! Best service me and my family have had in a VERY long time. He is an AMAZING server!

Some damn good BBQ! The hot sauces aren't just hot or spicy but flavorful too!! Combined with pulled pork sandwich I got it was a divine spice taste. My whole family had all manner of items from fish to beef they all raved on how delicious the food was. Service was also friendly, quick, and efficient! The atmosphere is stimulating and also calming as at the time we were eating the restaurant was mostly empty. Which is a real shame as again... this BBQ is damn good 👍

Great food and service .. good prices .. portions ... Definitely coming back.

It's been years since I last visited Famous Dave's, so we visited it on an early Saturday night. Our ribs were quickly served, and we had enough for leftovers. Speaking of ribs, they were tasty fall off the bone good. Our server was friendly & fast to bring our order. For less than we would have spent at most family friendly chains, we received decent food served up well. Tip: get there by 6pm, you'll be leaving before the weekend crowd.

To start, the food is not bad by any means. It’s just not worth the price. Here’s an example, I ordered the chicken tender appetizer which is 10.99. I expected a decent amount of food, but what my table got instead was 5 measly chicken tenders. The corn is obviously frozen and tastes like mush. How hard is it to have fresh corn. I would not recommend this place to anyone who isn’t looking to spend an egregious amount of money for what is essentially fast food.

The burger was absolutely superb! The fries were golden and crisp! Tonight's server, Genie, was also very nice! This meal was very worth the wait. Thank you!

Took my family there to have dinner, we were a group of 12 and a soon i told the receptionist he roll his eyes and wasn't so friendly. Told me the wait was around 45min, we ended up waiting 2 hours and 25min for a table for a time that when we got there wasn't busy at all, but they keep letting small groups pass. After seating waitress was very friendly and made the rest of our evening a lot more pleasant. Overall food was good.

This was my first time eating at an actual famous Dave's restaurant. We got two of the two meat platters. They were like $20 each. The food was great, and the sides were good. But for the price, I would would have liked to have gotten a little more meat. The building inside kind of reminded me of a sports bar (not a bad thing) and our server was very friendly and prompt.
