Tried Famous Dave’s EP location for the first time yesterday with my family and had a great experience! We happened to go on the day they were having their “All star BBQ” contest and just happened to miss the main event. Surprisingly it wasn’t too jam packed for them having such a big event going on but I wasn’t complaining. We were a party of 3 and got seated right away. Our waitress was very good and attentive. She made sure to explain their 3 different BBQ flavors offered although we ended up trying them all anyways with the free Dave’s seasoned chips she brought to our table. Definitely recommend the sweet one! For our entrees I ordered their BBQ pulled chicken sandwich with a side of Dave’s Mac and cheese as well as a cornbread muffin, my husband got the Sliced pork sandwich with a side of potato salad and my son got their mini corn dogs. Everything tasted great! I do highly recommend the pulled chicken sandwich, they had just the right ratio of chicken to the sandwich buns. And their mac and cheese was DELICIOUS! Had a bit of a kick to it since it does have jalapeños in the recipe but I didn’t mind at all. I also tried the potato salad my husband had with his entree and it was definitely five star. My husband said he enjoyed his meal and my son liked his corn dogs as well so I consider that a win! The only thing I will mention is that the atmosphere was a tad bit too loud for my liking. It may have been because they had the All Star event going on so there was music blaring outside but inside the restaurant was also very loud. Just my personal preference though, it may not bother others. Other than that I definitely would return again! I loved everything that I tried on my first visit, not to mention it was only around $40 for 3 people which is awesome! With the price of inflation these days I feel like going out to eat has mostly been averaging around double the price so I love that it was very affordable for us. Five stars for Famous Dave’s EP location!

Wow! I enjoy eating at any Famous Dave’s! The food is always top notch. BUT, even though I’ve eaten at all El Paso locations I’ll make the trip from the Westside where I work to this one for the following reasons! First of all the friendliness and courtesy of the hostess, Dalay Delgado. The minute I walked in the door she gave me a radiant and sincere smile and a warm and welcoming greeting! Her knowledge of the menu and her recommendations were spot on and extra hearty and delicious!!! She is a treasure. Then I was greeted after sitting down by Gennevy Portillo who checked on me and chatted with me about every 5 minutes and my glass was never empty!!! Then, after devouring most of my decadent meal (I took a box home) I could hardly breathe!!! Then both of these precious girls came by and suggested dessert and I said that I’d be crazy after getting so stuffed. I said this until they described the warm brownie smothered in whipped cream and ice cream! I’m weak. I couldn’t resist. I wound up eating every bite. I can’t wait to return!!! One other thing that I noticed was that the bathroom, floor, and tables were immaculately clean. Impressive and so important. Finally, the entire crew was happy and energetic. It was clear to that they are being led well. Gennevy has a special way of making everyone around feel valued and important. Just as she did for me. Thank you for the most wonderful lunch experience that I’ve had in a very long time! Please look at the photos! Unbelievable!!! And the taste was as good as the look!!!

I have never been more disgusted with an iconic restaurant. I have been a fan for more than 20 years. I remember eating at their now closed location in New Brunswick, New Jersey with my deceased father. I planned on years of enjoying their food with my children now. They ruined that. I thought as I looked at the menu the prices were a tad high but reasonable. Then the food came out. The portions are so small, I was shocked. For $9 I got 8 cheese curds. I ordered the 3 for $32 for myself. The food was so small, that a 20-piece nugget from McDonald's would have been better and larger. The waiter (who was great) said he would best describe the portions as cute. When it came out all I could think about was all babies 👶 are considered cute. But, we all know some are not. This meal was not cute. Just a waste of $80. We left and got some McDonald's. I should have know something was off when Texas Roadhouse parking lot was over-flowing. Applebee's had a full parking lot. All the fast food drive-thrus were full. But there was only six or seven cars there. Inside 4 tables had customers. Do not waste your time here. If they don't make some changes we will read about there Chapter 11 filing soon.

I wanted so badly to give them a good rating. I've had Famous Dave's before and my current experience is NOTHING like before. Maybe this is the pandemic dining experience I've been hearing about... I do want to share that the kitchen manager was very apologetic and tried to make it right but it still was an EPIC FAIL! First, the order came without the drink and wrong chicken. After speaking with the kitchen manager I was also offered a dessert in addition to the correct items for the order issues. He said the cobbler was really good so I chose that. HUGE MISTAKE!!! Next, I get the replacement order and the chicken is still wrong and also unnecessarily doubled, and the drink is wrong, but the cobbler came with vanilla ice cream. Well, it seems as if I should be grateful and pleased with this. WRONG. I speak with the kitchen manager again because I specifically requested dark meat (leg and thigh-which is also what is pictured on what was ordered) but received white meat AGAIN (breast and wing x2 for a running total of 3 now) after speaking with two different people explaining why I wanted dark meat and that the dark meat is what is even pictured on what was ordered. He, the kitchen manager, then tried to convince me that I asked for white meat. No sir, if that's the case there NEVER would have been a complaint outside of the missing drink because white meat is what was in the first order when the first complaint was made. Note that no one tells me during all this conversation that they don't have orange soda. They decided to leave that out. Again, I discussed it with two different people. So, I ended up with Sprite. Not a bad substitute, but also not what was ordered nor what was requested in discussion. Finally, after all the frustration, I sit down to try to enjoy the cobbler. Bad idea! It was literally raw, undercooked, or whatever you want to call gummy crust and crunchy peaches with peach flavored gel. DISGUSTING is too nice a word for the experience. All Famous Dave's had to say is they don't want me as a customer. No need to waste food and money like this. I'm sooo done! If you like to be given whatever they decide you should have, and you enjoy uncooked/undercooked dessert, then this is the...
