Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que — Restaurant in Downey

I found out about this place through Instagram and immediately wanted to try it out. I read some of the bad reviews on this google page and felt a little discouraged but I still went ahead and ordered the feast for 2. (Because the Instagram videos/pictures convinced me to) and I have to say THEIR FOOD IS AMAZING!!!! I loved the taste of everything they served in the platter. All the meat in the platter was tender and flavourful.(ribs were my favorite) The sides were tasty as well. I will definitely be back. (My friend loved the bbq sauce) oh yea. And to all the bad reviews : I think they're just hating because the food they serve here...

I placed an order for 2 rib plates and I tried to get the same sides for both plates instead of two different sides, but the online portal didn't allow me too. So I left a comment in the order instructions so that the staff could adjust the order and I left a tip to thank them, even though it's a pickup order. Well, it didn't seem they read the comment and I just gave a tip for nothing. Ribs were good though, not so much the soggy fries that I didn't want. Slightly disappointed...

We ordered ahead online while heading back home from Tustin Market place.

Our feast for two was delicious. We ordered and additional 1 pound of brisket and a jack and stacked burger.

Something happened to the 1 pound of brisket. It was dry and over cooked. Boy were we disappointed.

We live more than 35 miles away from this location. We were tired from all of the running around that day and just wanted some delicious BBQ to...
