A very good Place to Have a Nice Romantic Dinner with Your Queen! Dj Baby Funk Roy

OMG famous Dave's has the best ribs and brisket and cornbread ever!! Got hooked up with some famous ribs and their sauce and I can't wait to eat them!! Also if you go to the famous Dave's in the plant in San Jose and go to their takeout the personnel or fabulous and fast efficient and they give you the best food ever!!

The ribs were delicious and always good when I either eat in or take out. They are always so meaty and it falls off the bones! Aldo, the potato salad is the best I’ve ever had! Rachel is a great server and Brandon is a very personable manager. I always enjoy coming here.

Brandon and Emiliano were amazing! Especially Brandon!!! Love this place!!!!

Famous Dave's always delivers when it comes to quality and flavor. The smoky, tender meats are perfectly cooked, and the variety of sauces adds just the right touch. Whether you're into ribs, pulled pork, or brisket, each dish is packed with bold, delicious flavor. The sides are also a hit, complementing the main course wonderfully. If you're a BBQ fan, Famous Dave's is definitely a go-to for satisfying and flavorful meals!

My boyfriend and I came here. We enjoyed the atmosphere from the art on the walls to the music playing in the background. Our server Kaitlyn was amazing and so friendly. The food was great! We got bbq sandwiches. Flavor was amazing portions were great! We both got a bread pudding to share which my boyfriend said it was the best bread pudding he’s had! The staff was great and we would definitely come here again!

It was very busy father's day but the food was great

I recently had Famous Dave's cater for a small birthday party (8-10 people). The catering ordering was very easy with a polite and helpful employee. A confirmation and reminder was sent before the event. The delivery person quickly and efficiently set it up and provided all of the necessary utensils. Unfortunately she was involved in a fender bender on the way so was a little late, but they comped me with a free pie for the delay! The food was excellent (especially the brisket)--I thought I would have too much but everyone ate it up and complimented it, asking who provided it. I would definitely use them again.

oi oi oi….baaakkkaaaa…… tye food, good, the service…, good the atmosphere…., hmmmmm how does one describe such a wonderful atmosphere to be in…. wonderful. beautiful. hot. messy. truly american and amazing.

While I can't remember specifically what I got at my last Famous Dave's visit, this may be because I usually get a two part meat and sides, which varies. If there is a Famous Dave's is nearby, I will go to it, and while they are more common when I'm visiting family, this location is the closest to me. When I can, I make sure to pick two items and sides. The food is always good, as is the service, the music is good. And I'm always sampling the BBQ sauce before the food comes. The table is always stacked with paper towels. And I recommend their dessert menu. It's a great place for barbecue.

The food was excellent. The corn bread is a must! The only thing I didn't care for was the Mac and cheese. It tasted like mayonnaise.

Came for the unlimited rib tips on Thursdays as advertised on their website but this location does not participate in that promo at this time. But we still stayed and enjoy their delicious BBQ. Masks were not required during our visit today. YAYY! Some normalcy!

Bar drinks are great and the bartender Kayla is very kind. Food on happy hour is reasonably priced and the traditional buffalo wings are really good with the spicy mango margarita

I like this place because it has the yummy BBQ.. I like the beans,cornbread,and of course the meat. Ribs,chicken ect.sauce is the Boss to. Add a beer and your in Heaven.

Amazing food, great customer service.. I definitely recommend you to come eat here! Kayla our waiter was amazing 🤩 Thank you Dave’s BBQ 😁

Always a good time dining at Famous Dave’s. Not only the quality food here is top notch BBQ, but our server Kaitlyn is so friendly and helpful. Definitely will come back for more!!

The food was amazing and would recommend you to go here with your family and friends. The waiters were really generous and the food came out really fast.

This place was a great place to eat dinner! My friend and I got the Legendary Full Slab, and it was the best ribs I tasted in the Bay Area! You can enjoy a few sides that come along with it, and some cool barbecue sauces. The customer service was great in general, and the ambience was a mildly loud case. The bar, for that matter, was a slight bit more louder then the eat-in booths, but in general, I could stay here all day! The pricing....hmmm...let’s say it was a border-line. Maybe the full slab should be a little bit less.....well, I can say, the ribs are great in general so this place deserves its 5 stars for its signature ribs.

Their cornbread was so good. I contemplated taking it to go but i have no self control, lol.

This is the second time we have Famous Dave's catering for our company and it is always a hit! We are around 50 folks and the food is the ight amount, delivered timely and warm and DELICIOUS! The service is wonderful too! I have called the restaurant on Curtner for confirmation or order changes and Josh is always friendly and helpful! He is wonderful and the food is amazing! I highly recommend Famous Dave's!

Manager is awesome helped me navigate website when he seen i was super frustrated trying to utilize it. Hope yall give that man a raise cause he deserves it with his great attitude and helpfullness.

Amazing Food & Outstanding Service! I had an incredible experience at Famous Dave's! The food was delicious—perfectly smoked ribs, tender brisket, and flavorful sides that hit the spot. But what truly made the night special was our waitress, Bella. She was absolutely amazing—friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Her warm personality and great recommendations made our meal even better. If you're visiting, definitely ask for Bella—she’s the best! Can't wait to come back!

The food was amazing my boyfriend came and brought me he had the brisket pork belly pork beans fries and corn bread

Love going to Famous Dave’s. The food is consistently tasty, and you know what to expect. Most recently, I got the “Meal for Two” plate, so I sampled a bunch of the menu items. The chicken was flavorful, the cornbread sweet and moist, and choice of sauces satisfactory 👌🏻 Each bbq sauce has a different twist. Finally, the mason jars they serve for drinks are massive! Thanks Famous Dave’s.

Unfortunately, NOT F.D. fault but... we sat at the bar and had to endure a disgusting drunk dude. My focus was all on him as we tried to enjoy our great food and great servers/bar staff. I was hoping the staff could have gotten him out sooner so the gentleman sitting next him could enjoy his time there but that didn't happen. Staff were all aware and attentive to the drunk and focused on his safety and welfare; as well as trying to assist the other customers. Food and drinks were really good as well as I must say Kudos to the staff for how they handled it. I would have just called police though, so the sober patrons wouldn't have had to hear the belching etc.

Had the "All American Feast" which now cost $99.99 feeds 5-6 people depending on your appetite. Some Nachos with brisket also. Very good food today on Sunday. They closed the location in Gilroy so Had to drive here to San Jose...I live in Freedom, CA

Amazing service, asked for recommendations on food and drinks and given great choices! Food and drinks came out quickly, were absolutely delicious, and the staffs were all great people!

Today we enjoyed a great meal with fantastic service!!! Kaitlyn was on top of her game in the service dept. The brisket was stellar. The bread pudding was next level but the wife says "CORN BREAD, CORN BREAD, CORN BREAD!!!" Thank you Famous Dave's @ the Plant!!

My husband went crazy when he found out this place was in the Bay Area, when I tried it, I understood the hype. Food is incredible, portions are big and you get what you are paying for. Taste is amazing. If you are 4-5 ppl I do recommend you to order the feast on the photo so you get to try everything.

Katelyn was our server. we came for a family dinner and I had the 3 meat combo. I loved it. And of course I had to get a Long Island Ice tea. Everything was perfect. We will definitely be coming back.

For a decent BBQ after a weekend day's grocery shopping, Dave's is a nice place to literally pig out. Grab the pig crown it's honestly a big part of the experience. We feasted on one of the feasts, if you're coming with 3 or more people demolish that thing. The sauces are not too spicy, except the spiciest one you have to special request.

Food was excellent atmosphere was pretty chill the service could have been better we got our food fast but then they never came back and checked on us

Amazing food. Extremely friendly employees. It's a for sure must eat at if you are in the area and love BBQ. I enjoyed it alot. Everything was delicious. It's military friendly to so that's always a plus.. so if you in area please check this place out you won't be disappointed I promise you. Love this place..

emma jaimes tellez

We had an amazing experience at Famous Dave’s thanks to our server, Nathalia. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out perfectly. She checked on us often without being overwhelming and had great recommendations. Definitely made our visit even better!

Steven Factor

Great barbeque. But service rocked. Was taken by how management took care of it s!! Bread pudding was amazing! See Mercedes our waitress and Alex the guy in charge!

James Fleming

Service was great, friendly, fast and spot on! Drinks refilled at the right time, wait staff were attentive not over powering, restaurant was clean neat and orderly. You can always tell when the front works well with the back, this place is one of those places. Platters came out on time and hot! Food was cooked well and delivered at the right time. Very good atmosphere and feeling in the store. Would recommend and will return!

Peter Perez

Came with my sister, her husband, and my partner. The food was great. We left full and very satisfied. We had a big dish that was called something like an all American plate or something like that but it had ribs, corn on the cob, corn bread, fries, beans, coleslaw, and couple of other meats. The environment was very laid back and quiet. Just make sure you check the business hours before going because if I knew they closed at 8 I would have come on a different day instead of showing up at 6:50. I'm surprised they didn't say anything when setting us. The only way we knew was because the waitress asked if we were gonna order anything else because the kitchen was going to close soon.

Andy Smyth

Easy order on the app. Quick service upon arrival. I ordered Dave's Sassy BBQ salad with tri tip; cornbread and mashed potatoes. Everything is excellent. Great portion.

Rich Alicdan

One of my Bro took me here at Famous Dave and it is Awesome the foods are Superb! The staff is very accommodating. All in all experience is Awesome. Everbody must try Famous Dave and I will surely come back to Famous Dave. Thank you and I love you Bro Line!

I love this place! The food here is always amazing and I'm sad there isn't one closer to me but it's still a great location at the plant. There are a few items on the menu that are not described as spicy but in fact they are when you get them and they have jalapeños in them. Overall the food is still great here.

Noel Rodriguez

Has become a tradition to pass by on our way from working Outside Lands event. The food is delicious, ribs sweet and crispy, the corn bread golden shine yummy, the corn so sweet and juicy. What more can I say. The staff is always great, ready to help.i recommend getting the all-American feast

Ana González

This place is great! We loved the pulled pork, the tri tip, the corn bread and pretty much everything we had for lunch and dessert. The lemon pie is probably one of the best we have tried. They gave us the kids menus which are like crowns to wear but piggy shaped, and with activities on the back, so it’s fun for the kids. Restrooms are clean and the decoration all over the place is so neat, not like other country rustic style restaurants where tends to seem dirty. The manager and all the staff were very kind as well. We will be back for sure.

Famous Dave’s BBQ serves slow-cooked, smoky barbecue with generous portions, featuring St. Louis-style ribs, brisket, and pulled pork sandwiches. The burnt ends appetizer is a standout, offering tender, flavorful bites. While the sauces add variety, some diners find the meat slightly dry at times. Service is friendly, though wait times can be long during busy hours. Despite minor inconsistencies, it remains a solid choice for barbecue lovers.

Was a great experience but service was slow lacked on server checking up on us for refills etc. They had their own conversations witch was ok I guess but don't forget about us

Delicious burnt ends, succulent and tasty. Ribs were also really good. The sauces are a little sweet... But it's good

It was really good food. They bring you a feast on a trash can lid. First time there but really good an would go again. Didnt uave many beer options but did have a few I liked.

Good place for some BBQ. I love the brisket and ribs. The sauce is amazing and the people here are very chilled. I had the pleasure of hanging out with Nathalia as my host but she kept a smile. Thanks again.

Decided to get some BBQ for lunch with friend. Pictured is my meal, and it was delicious! The chicken was cooked nicely and not dry. The ribs were delicious, however not the most tender I’ve ever had. Beans were decent, a little sweeter than I prefer. And the potatoes and cornbread were good too. It was fairly expensive but overall a good experience. I also highly recommend their devil’s spit spicy bbq sauce if you like spicy 🔥

I enjoy this place. The food is good and they're open later than any other BBQ place that I know of. They have a variety of sauces to choose from and I have yet to have anything I disliked. I even liked their chicken and I don't even like chicken in the first place.

The food here is excellent, and the portions sizes are great! I like the different selection of BBQ sauces for different tastes. The restaurant was clean and lively. The only problem we ran into was that their tap-to-pay didn't want to accept our card and put us in quite the bind. Luckily we found a close-by bank and an atm.

Great quantities for the price with decent meat quality. Would have got five stars if the quality has been a little bit better. they have a nice selection of sauce is on the table but there's a sauce from the back that's even better it came out with whatever my platter was and I just had to ask for an extra cup. There's Caesar side salad although it's $1.99 extra is huge for a side salad.

Decent BBQ establishment. Food was okay but great price and portion. Clean and friendly staff. Plenty of parking in the plaza lot.

I got to the restaurant about 10 minutes after 8, it was pretty packed, I was seated right away. Hostess was very friendly, she told me my server will be right with me. I knew the restaurant was closing at 9, so I was going to order my food immediately eat and leave. This was not to be. The bus boy "Jason" comes, wet rag in hand, to my table and states "I'm not trying to be rude or anything, but we close at 9 so if you could just order your food to go." I didn't want to overburden Jason or suffer his wrath, plus If the staff doesn't want you there you don't want them handling your food. I wound up at five guys, so the food gets 5 stars. After I finished my meal, I swung by the restaurant because I saw bus boy Jason at the front podium greet station and I wanted to say hi and get his name. They promoted bus boy Jason to greeter while I was gone, service gets 1 star. I would avoid this place from 730pm on, and on days of the week that end with the letter y.

Portions are small for the price ... Flavors were okay... If I pay almost $17 for fish and chips, I expect to get more than two small breaded pieces of fish and half a pile of french fries I paid $5 for macaroni and cheese and it was less than half a cup ...

I ordered on the app and scheduled a time for pickup, that worked great. When I got there the service was a little slow to get any help there were people waiting before me and they had to actually go find somebody to get help at the pickup desk. Other than that it was great.

Sides are decent. Meat is yummy. Just what you’d expect. There was a 15 min wait this Sunday so we went over to Tapioca and get some snow bubble. It was hot af and just what we needed. Needless to say, we were too full to eat all this and had to take some home. The cat fish is excellent and the ribs were on point.

Dan Kim

Overall not a bad bang for your buck deal. Pretty average chicken, pork was the best meat, and brisket was mid. Mac was a bit bad, slaw was ok, and corn bread was solid. Overall for it's pricing it's fair.

teresita padilla

First time trying it, and not bad. Service was kind of slow, but maybe they were short staffed? Food was great except for the mozzarella sticks that were cold and the potato salad that tasted like walmart’s brand. They offer a great variety of food items. Restaurant was clean and good atmosphere overall.

Ok meal..The sweet corn was awful it tasted like water. Nice staff..

Went with coworkers on a group outing. Service was good and everyone had a good time. Fish and chips were soggy. Another coworker didn't enjoy the pulled chicken salad, was oversauced. But, most of us enjoyed our food. Probably best to stick to their primary menu items. Kinda expected better across the board, but it's a decent place for a group outing.

Some very Good Items on Menu, But I have had Better BBQ.

As far as BBQ is concerned, there are better places around. Where they shine is the selection of sauces at every table: Wilbur's Revenge (XXX Hot), Devil's Spit, Rich and Sassy, Texas Pit and Georgia Mustard. Decor is cute and very much along the theme of a southern BBQ cabin. Lighting is dim though, and quite hard to read the menu or see what you're eating. A great place for large groups and parties (check out the "Famous Party Room"). It has a fireplace in the middle, and a huge bar. Overall a place to check out if you are nearby and craving BBQ, but not a destination restaurant for me.

So we ordered the $30 meal for one and burnt ends. Burnt ends was 6/10 it tasted like oversmoked canned meat and the onion straws was a 8/10 . The ribs was a 4/10, edible but so dry. The 1/4 chicken was 7/10 it had decent flavor. Coleslaw 8/10 reminds you of KFC. The beans was a 7/10 nice smokey kick to it. Cornbread 10/10 only complain needed more lol and butter. Pulled pork was a 2/10 it was super dry like the ribs honestly probably left 80% of it because it was so dry. Our server was nice and our alcohol beverages was good. Bloody mary 8/10. Black cherry smash 5/10 it was too strong and so it made it taste like medicine. Strawberry lemonade was a 8/10. House made bbq chips was a 3/10 for me but bf rated the chips a 6/10. Now we thought we was getting happy hour prices but we sadly learned this bloody mary was $11 and my black cherry smach was $13!!! Geezus. Definitely would recommend the smoking pig over this and for the cost we would have enjoyed the food alot more and wouldn't have missed the drinks. Service wasn't bad, guy was very nice. Over all 3/5 stars..

We went to eat last Sunday all the food was good we had the American feast but the chicken either was bad or raw cause my whole family got the diarrhea from eating the chicken we all thought the chicken tasted funny

Good food but we saw cockroaches so it was bad for us. .. We didn’t say to the manager because we don’t take advantage of this. Thanks

The food was good not great, the ribs we're burnt and didn't have much meat. But the employees were nice and had good Customer Service.

We came here on Sunday, I know bad idea on Easter Sunday. It wasn't packed like we thought it would be. We order the all-American feast, order brisket, and tri-tip for 6 people. We thought it wasn't going to be enough but everyone left content. The reason for the 3-star was the service was okay, our server didn't come to check if we needed a refill and we were behind the fireplace so it was hard to get anyone's attention.

Wonder Woman

I HAVE TO HONESTLY SAY… THE GILROY FD IS HANDS DOWN THE VERYYYYYYYYYYY BESTTTTT! This place was just sad. Service was equivalent to a fast food joint. Yawn worthy….bathrooms were AWFUL. Tables sticky, tableware had red lipstick when I asked for replacements I got another set of dirty tableware. So I used my hands, barbaric! Not the same as GILROY. Bring back the GILROY LOCATION!!!!

This place is big. However, not too many people eating inside. We were there around 6:30 pm on Friday night and barely anyone inside. We ordered a sampler plate and a bunch of stuff in it, a salad, a beer, and a coke and it comes out to be about $54. The food was kind of dry and feels like eating cardboard even with the sauce drenched in it. The fries were great and very unique. A bit oily but good. The environment is kind of cool with a farm like feel to it. Lots of seating areas and a bar for those who like to get a few beers. Not sure if because of the amount of traffic is slow so the food is not too good or because the food is not too good that’s why they don’t have a lot of people. Or maybe too greasy for all the healthy eaters in California.

We love Famous Daves but the service through Famous Dave's is lacking. Visited this location today on 5/20/2025 and it was not busy and the server took a long time to take our order, never checked on us and we had to wait even longer for our check. I guess our time is not very valuable......

Just ordered. Online options are not the same in house. Franchises run their own options. San Jose doesn't offer half slab or full slab. It's a rip. Ordered a beer and there's more head on it than my head. Glass now 2" down and not one sip. Don't care if the ribs taste like lobster dipped in diamonds when they get here, not coming back. Food here. Jackie's Place better

Cosmo M.

Ordered the brisket... what was that, spam, mystery meat!? Yuck! I'm sure some other items on their menu are of better quality, but I won't be going back to find out. Nice space and the wait staff were nice. Too bad that in their race to the bottom price/cost the business is serving "hot garbage" to their customers (just like many other big chains)... and apparently there's enough demand from undiscerning customers who only care about price and quantity and willing to compromise on quality this much.

Was just here and it was empty with the exception of a few guys at the bar and 1 family sitting in a booth. We sat down, waited 10 minutes & decided to get up and leave. Not once did the server come …

Placed an order on line, went to go pick it up and like always when doing a phone order or on line order they always mess it up they give you the order and you go through it to make sure its all the correct stuff you ordered and its like they get all offended. I mentioned to the guy you forgot the one item and they get all bent out of shape, you ask for extra Bbq sauce and they give you one and then before ordering they even ask for a tip.to top it off food was very cold. I have a tip for you, learn how to treat people better and do a better job.

Our entrees, which included ribs, chicken, tri-tips, beans, and a baked potato, were served lukewarm. The cheese on the baked potato never melted, and the margarine (not butter) that accompanied it also remained unmelted. The side salad, made with basic iceberg lettuce, was served with a bottled dressing instead of a homemade one. The chili beans tasted reminiscent of canned Stagg beans you can buy at Safeway. Additionally, Wilbur's beans were overly sweet. The cornbread was so sweet that it should be labeled as cake and placed on the dessert menu—not exactly a compliment. The flavors of the BBQ sauce were disappointing as well. The iced tea had no flavor. Overall, it was quite an underwhelming experience, although our server was personable.

Today I took my family to dinner. And my experience was disappointing I had a bug in my water the waitress did not acknowledge the situation our food was cold and we left without even finishing our meal it is expensive and not worth it

ordered Texas brisket take out， found out it's chicken instead! Almost $40 for one pound chicken meat... Taste not bad though

I’ve been this place for a few time and this time I order a take out and I’m very unsatisfied that they didn’t give any bbq sauce with 2 orders of bbq. The lady at the reception is very cold and doesn’t talk much. I was asking if they can help verify my order and she just said you can check yourself. When I got home there is no sauce for the order and I called the number. They just told me to come back to pick it up. It’s pretty far from where I live and I guess I’ll just have it without the sauce this time.

It was great. A lot of people, but food came very fast. I need to said the my wife and two other friends we had. They got really sick after we had dinner here. I didn't. Please be sure to cook the food properly ( chicken )

I’m sorry to report I did not like my Famous Dave’s meal. The brisket was very salty, tough and chewy. The St Louis ribs were old; beef jerky like texture. In summary the meat seemed old and the flavor wasn’t tasty. Not the restaurants fault but the Mac n cheese contained corn kernels-not a fan. Cheese sauce was thin and runny. Beans were ok. Corn bread was good. I ordered sauce to dip and I didn’t receive it. The meal would have been a good value for bbq if the food was good but alas I’d rather have my $$ and hungry. Today was my second meal with Famous Dave’s; my last.

Our server was awesome thank you Matt! But dear god this horrifying unforgettable tasting food it's like eating greasy bacon and the French fries tasted like water on the inside it was so gross would not recommend the ribs were dried out like ripped apart tires for a car like to the stuff you would see on the ground of a play ground I could not finish my food I let my dog smell it and he snarled don't eat here

My son and came here today to have a nice dinner but it came to disappointing meal. We order 2 pcs meat, i had a roasted chicken and prime rib.. chicken is half way cook i ask the lady if the looks cook she said. The chicken is smoke so it's supposed to be like that.. Nahhh… if it smoke its not like that..

I usually don’t write reviews when I go to mediocre restaurants, but this place was far from mediocre. $100 for two drinks and a plate with three meats that were dry and poor quality. The corn bread, fries, and coleslaw were the highlights of the meal- not a good sign. Mac and cheese was soupy and lukewarm. Corn was the worst corn I’ve ever had, no sweetness and soggy. Beans were ok. Service was also awful, workers were too busy flirting to even ask us about our food once, and I had to ask for the check and a drink menu.

Food is trash ! I ordered rib tips last month so I decided give them another shot with brisket sandwich .Bread taste old brisket was cold and tough .A waste of money .Ill never eat at this location again .This has the nerve to ask for a tip online Absolutely Not! Hire new cooks

I went to Famous Dave’s for the first time for lunch. The place was huge but empty. The food prices were extremely high for mediocre food. I was expecting larger portion sizes. Luckily, I wasn't too hungry and I was there with a guest. I remained as positive as possible until service staff mentioned that there machine may not take apple pay. I only had my electronic wallet so that was a fun situation which involved calling a friend. From start to end it felt like I took a time machine to eat at a stale office space with awkward decor back in time to decade without the advancement of technology.

I ordered appetizer rib tips they did not look like what I normally get, they were cut like ribs but no bones, I thought they just did not cut them up. I ate the fries which were great but they do not give you a lot of fries like Gilroy Dave’s did. The rib tips were mostly fat in just 3 pieces I ate there I left a plate of fat like this picture below, it was more fat than meat. I brought the other half home which was 3 pieces and it was just as fatty more fat than meat see the picture below for the other 3 pieces I got and brought home. I took a picture of the fat I got on 3 pieces more fat than meat on the rib tips and that’s only the fat I could get off them. Not sure I’ll go back to Dave’s in San Jose too bad. I loved the Dave’s in Gilroy but they closed down. The Dave’s in Gilroy served a lot and gave you meaty rib tips, and a lot of fries. I’m not paying high prices for a plate with more fat than meat and not much of a side.

Hadn't been to Famous Dave's in a while and was in SJ and decided to get the rib tips combo and bread pudding for dessert. The rib tips are not what they used to be, lots of fat and hardly any rub on them. The cornbread is far from cornbread, more like a slice of yellow cake. The bread pudding was the only decent thing. Quality has gone way down as to what it used to be. Very disappointing.

Ordered online for a subtotal of $68 for burnt ends, rib and meat combo, with sides mac & cheese, potato salad, and an extra add on of mashed potatoes. The add on was six dollars for something the size of a Baskin Robins kids scoop. Corn bread was buttery, soft, and tasted like white sheet cake. Corn bread is supposed to be moist but crumby. The slab of bread is the type of cheap white bread you buy with SNAP benefits and was not toasted or buttered at all. Potato wedges were hard, which indicates it was frozen and not fresh. Meat was delicious, with the pork ribs being the best, followed by the burnt ends, and lastly the brisket, which had a lot of fat but was not evenly spread out, so you would either have a mouthful of fat or bite into stale, dry meat. However, see the image for the portion size. The size of this meal has a value of $35 dollars at best, and maybe $40 if pushing it. This serving size was barely enough for my wife and I, and we are skinny legends who ate easily blown away by the lightest gusts of wind. Overall, the meat was tasty but average, but not worth the price and the measly ration of a WW2 soldier.

Ordered through Uber eats while I am staying at a hotel. Didn't provide the cutlery or BBQ sauce requested as clearly printed on the receipt. Everything was mashed into 1 box delivered in a giant bag. Are they running low on boxes? At this price point, I'd expect more attention to detail. Who serves BBQ without BBQ sauce? Famous Dave does...
