Opinions de Famous Dave's Imperial Valley Mall
Ordered to-go from Famous Dave’s in El Centro and had a great experience. The food was delicious and packed well. Staff were friendly and efficient when I picked up my order. The location is convenient, close to my hotel and right near the shopping mall and shopping strip, which makes it easy to stop by. Nice, upscale area and a solid choice if you’re craving good BBQ.
Picked up food was easy and fast, Food was delicious will continue to eat there more often.
Great place to have BBQ. The ribs are amazing as well as the brisket. Make sure you try their larger platters. And dont forget to try all the great BBQ sauces they have.
The 4-piece fried chicken meal here was excellent and worth recommending. The chicken was hot, crispy, and seasoned well, with a good balance of crunch and tenderness. The mac and cheese was creamy and rich, with a noticeable buttery flavor that paired well with the meal. The chili was hearty, flavorful, and had a solid mix of beans and meat, making it a strong side option rather than a simple filler. The cornbread was soft and slightly sweet, rounding the plate out nicely. Portions were generous, the food came out quickly, and everything tasted fresh. Overall, this was a satisfying and well-executed comfort meal. I would return for the chicken alone, but the sides make it an even better value.
Cathleen was amazing 😃she greeted and was very proactive. Checked up on us to see if we needed anything, and she knew my birthday was coming, and even though it wasn’t my birthday she made me feel special and gave me a small bowl of ice cream 🍦. The food was delicious and well cooked . Thank you for the amazing service
Food was delicious! Service on the better side of ok. But it was hot 🔥 in there. I realize that it's 110 outside, but a establishment like this should keep us comfortable! I was atca restaurant across the street one week prior and was very comfortable. Otherwise it was Good.
I was shocked at what a great experience eating here was! I usually don’t expect good service in the valley, but our server Crystal was wonderful. We almost never eat at chain restaurants but I’m glad we gave this a try. The chicken thighs were delicious!
I had a really great meal. I had the three item plate with an additional item for $6. I had brisket, ribs, hot link sausage, and bbq chicken. It came with a cornbread muffin and one side. I chose french fries (wedge style). After dinner I had the brownie and ice cream desert. My friend had a similar meal but with catfish. This meal was really good and the service was also good. Update: I'm not changing the stars but I was disappointed on my last visit. I ordered a burger medium and it came out like charcoal. Medium is light pink in the middle. They took the burger off my bill and they were friendly about everything. I was told they have to cook well done which might be a company policy OR it could be a cook that hasn't a clue how to cook medium. It's not only this restaurant. I don't know if it's a regional custom or not but so many places literally burn the burger and for egg dishes burn the eggs. Stop overcooking food.
El servicio fue algo lento desde la llegada hasta que llevaron la comida, pero la comida es muy buena.
I always have a good time when I eat here at Famous Dave?s. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious.

The service was incredibly good the person who Help us was a young woman vania with good advice to choose the fooa I am planing to eat more frenquency.
Frankly I didn't like the brisket and the pork rubs were dry and chewy. The bbq sauces are all really sweet. Best thing was garlic mashed potatoes. No I won't go back to this chain. Find a local specialty restaurant instead.
Good food, Good Prices, Good selection. A little loud for me (I like quite but that's me), but everyone in there was having a good time. We stop in at Dave's every time on the way home from our Wrestling Tournaments, in Holtville, and Brawley.
Had the Famous Feast. Lot of food. Will take care of about three meals. Cole slaw a bit bland. Ribs and pulled pork were tasty. I'll go back...but will order something smaller.
As I entered, I was immediately greeted and seated. I was looking to try to fried chicken with barbecue but they were out. I opted for the chopped pork. I was hoping for something juicier but overall tasty. If you had to put a sauce on it, I'd recommend the Devil Spit: wonderfully smokey with just a kick of heat. I chose the mac'n'cheese as my side. I was informed there was jalapeño in it but did not expect there was also corn. It a decent but had it a better cheese crust on top, it really would've been better. Overall, it was a great deal for quality barbecue. Crystal was my server and was very friendly. She seemed to be very on top of her whole section, checking in to make sure all her tables were doing well.

To be honest, I think it's my fault. I do expect too much for this place. Don't take it bad The service was great about the food. Two stars is enough.
I love bbq... Dave's is a solid bbq joint that has chicken, pork, beef bbq. Fun atmosphere. Would go there with friends and family.

I ordered the loaded BBQ brisket potato, and it was delicious! However, we also ordered the 3 meat combo with turkey, brisket, and Buffalo boneless wings, which was not so good. The brisket was tender but extremely salty! The turkey was not bad, but the plating was a horrible idea. The brisket and turkey were placed on top of toast, which made the toast soggy and unedible. The wings were tasty but scarce on meat.
Life is too short to eat bad bbq. When you have staff walking around wearing shirts with this phrase on the back, you need to live up to it. Maybe I caught them on an off night. But it was, in fact, bad bar-b-q. The chopped pork was so salty I couldn't finish it. And you can see from my picture it wasn't a huge serving. The cole slaw was bland but the mashed potatoes were okay. The sad part is perhaps the best tasting item was the stale corn muffin. I took a picture of it to show how stale it was. The paper muffin cup was so stuck to the side that it tore in several places. And when I tried to remove the muffin the bottom stuck to the paper. Still, I ate part of it and it tasted good. And it's pricey for bbq. If it were good bbq that would be one thing but... When in San Diego try Ph**'* for comparison.

Not a big meat eater, but had to give it a try. Cat finger was good, but meat items were so so.
This is a review for a to-go order. Ordered buffalo wings and they were mid at best and cold. Caesar salad was terrible, soggy and drenched in dressing. Only salvage thing was the croutons. Honesty quite disappointing for $32 :(
Came from TX so I know BBQ, even if slightly spoiled. Food was alright but not good. Serving size was acceptable but slightly skimpy. Nothing came out hot enough. Didn't serve the combo with pickles or pickled onions. Corn muffin came without butter. Sauce is way too sweet and had no tang and was lacking in spices. Brisket had good color but bark wasn't very bark like/no splash of juice on top, just the syrupy sauce. Ribs are also fine but feels like they skimped on the rub and opted for sauce alone. Turkey was okay smothered in gravy but was weak. Store style gravy made it acceptable, though not something I would pay for compared to what you can get from a store. Didn't offer sausage. Chicken was okay. Mac and Cheese had chopped peppers and bits which were good but was underseasoned and overcooked, reminded me of Kraft and needed more cheese, maybe a crumb topping. Admittedly, the food smelled better from the outside than it tasted when i got inside, so maybe it was a bad day? Unsure why they served the food on two trays when the paltry amount could have fit on one. Service was friendly but hit or miss in terms of always being there when I was trying to eat but disappearing when I wanted to pay. Left a solid tip because I guess it's an A-for Effort. I wouldn't come back here again unless I was coming for the bar or was going out with friends who wanted to come here, though I'd do my best to discourage them if they're really friends. Ambience is good. Has great decor.
I heard a lot about this place before. I visited on a Friday night and my order was very dry. My $20 plate is on the picture. No sampler plates just pick one thing and get a full pound of it. I asked for a bourbon shot, besides the usual Jim n Jack nothing else was available. The mac and cheese from the kids meal is out of the box Kraft and even that was very watery. These are very basic things for a barbecue joint. They need to do better.

The best part of this join were the sides, delicious corn bread. I had the brisket it was just a piece of broiled lard. The spare rib tips were horrible, tasted staled, don't waste your money here.

Went in for dinner with my family and was seated first by a young male hostess. We got our menus and as we are waiting for the server an older grey hair and mustache pointed to the hostess with an attitude that not there(whatever that meant). The hostess comes back and notifies us that the server notified the manager we had to move from the booth because we had our infants carseat. Our booth was located next to the wall not blocking anyones way or any other booth. Even the young male apologize and said it didn’t make sense to move us. The restaurant wasn’t even full but I guess the server doesn’t like children, he already had an attitude since the beginning. We gladly left and went to another restaurant to avoid any more bad service. The service is a joke, the place has gone down in the last couple of years. Take your hard earned money somewhere else where it’s valued.
COLD FOOD ALWAYS, Cold cold cold !! Every time I go eat here the FOOD IS COLD! the meats are always cold, the beans, the sides are all cold, It’s crazy how nobody complains about it, I guess people from the valley love cold BBQ lol what a joke,
I'm in town for work and decided to visit a familiar place to eat. The bartenders were very friendly and the service was acceptable. The food, that was horrible. I ordered a 3 meat plate with chopped pork, brisket and hot sausage. My sides were fries and mac n cheese. The chopped pork was cold, but overall it was great. The brisket was extremely overcooked and dry. The sausage was cold, and just tasted bad. I asked the bartender to take my food, mentioned that it was not good. The manager came over to speak with me, and I mentioned that it was not cooked correctly. She apologized, and walked away. When I got my bill, the full $24.99 was still on the bill! I would have been ok with paying for part of the meal, since I did eat the pork. But nothing was taken off. I asked the bartender if he felt comfortable charging me full price for my meal. He said it was the managers call. Stay away from this place. Bad food, even worse management.
