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

The waitress Realite was the only real bright spot in this place. It was mediocre chain restaurant BBQ that I had to send back overcooked portions of my meal. To make you understand the bad score you really have to understand how overall service is at this operation. My wife, son and I went at an early time so it wouldn't be too busy. Needless to say there was plenty of seating and it looked good at first. We were seated towards the back so we weren't going to catch any of the draft of the cold air coming through the front door in the main area. And within five minutes of us being seated they sat two young people a couple of tables over from us reeking of weed. It's your choice if that's what you want to do with your life and time but, what was the hostess thinking putting two kids reeking of weed next to families. The place is literally empty and this is where you decide to put them. Strike one! I got up and asked our server if she could move us somewhere else, so that we could enjoy our meal without having to gag on the smell of cheap skunk. She readily complied. While waiting for our appetizers we noticed the disrepair of the place like the menus and torn tablecovers. Unsanitary to say the least and obviously someone was too cheap to replace things as needed. Strike two! The catfish fingers were a nice change of pace for an appetizer. The sweet tea was not horrible but, when the food came out I had to ask what the overly fatty and quite brittle item was on the white bread in front of me? Turns out it was the pulled pork hiding under a glob of BBQ sauce. The waitress once again came to my rescue and got another serving sent out. It was actually better and looked like pork this time. Unfortunately, it was a waste of time as it was so bland had it to be covered in sauce to be eaten. Even then only two bites; why bother was the cry from my tastebuds to my mouth. So it sat on my plate as I ate the 1.5 of 3 ribs that were actually covered in meat rather than shoe leather and carbon. Oh, well at least they had some flavor. The chicken "quarter" and I use that term loosely as it was the smallest thing I've seen on a chicken, that's of course if it was a chicken and not pigeon. Besides being very small it was very flat. It was still on the bone so I don't know how it was that flat. It had a greasy taste to it but at this point I was just so hungry I had to eat something. Strike Three! Luckily the beans had a good flavor to them and the coleslaw wasn't all that bad. Don't get me wrong once I got home I ended up having a bowl of cereal. Even though I just paid for this other meal because I was still hungry after whatever that was because it's certainly wasn't barbecue. The manager never once made it to our table to see how we were doing like most places. I know why because he spent 20 minutes at another table running his hands through what looks like to be somebody else's food trying to explain to them why something went wrong with their meal. We tipped the waitress well hoping it was enough money for her to go somewhere else where she could hold her head up high and we will not...

If you aren't a kid or someone with a little appetite, don't come here. I paid $27 for the pick 2 combo (I asked for all south side rib tips & 2 loaded baked potatoes). I ended up getting 6 ribs (which werent rib tips) and 2 loaded baked potatoes (which they were out of so they gave me loaded mashed potatoes). If you want to get a meal that will actually fill you up, expect to pay a minimum of $60 per person. I am so upset and embarrassed that I went here. Im upset for obvious reasons but embarrassed because my boyfriend was hungry and was tired of the same food we always eat. I was looking up different places and told him about Famous Daves and he said heck yeah sounds good! Well, I ordered the pick TWO combo which means two meats and I said spare ribs for both meats. Y'all.... I got 6 ribs which means 3 ribs come with the pick one meal I was originally going to get him. They are dead wrong for that. The 3 ribs should be a kid meal not an adult meal! Then it's $4 to add an extra TWO ribs onto the combo!! I went back in thinking there was something wrong with my order but nope! Then they wanted to charge me $17 for an extra 5 ribs cause I didnt get extra when I paid... like I seriously can't make this up. I declined and started driving home... very slow... because I was trying to think of what I could do or where I could go to get more food. I just wasted my boyfriends $27 on a kids meal. I knew he would be upset if I brought that home to him cause it's an insult to give a grown man 6 ribs. So I had to stop at another place and get more food!! So either treat yourself to a $60 meal that will hopefully get you somewhat full, or just don't even bother coming here cause you will be upset if you think this BBQ place gives you a good amount for their prices. I actually have never been to a BBQ place that doesn't load up your plate for the price you pay. I'm actually shocked and don't understand it. The people that come here must have never been to an authentic BBQ place or just like spending big money for a light snack before they get an actual meal somewhere else.

Update; My boyfriend just finished the food and said it was the worst BBQ he's ever had. The ribs had a couple bites of meat so mostly bone and they were very dry. He's still very hungry so luckily I got him an actual meal from a...

My daughter and I just tried this place as I love BBQ and she has recently taking a liking to it and I've always heard good things about this place. Love the variety of the menu and they have items if you have a non BBQ lover in you family. We got the Choose 1 que combo BBQ chicken white meat. Got 2 nice chicken breasts with wings attached. Chicken was delicious and tender. Flavor right into the meat. BBQ is a nice spicy flavor that makes me interested in trying their chili sometime. Great side selections! I chose the famous fries and corn. My daughter got the garlic mashed potatoes and corn. Both the fries and mashed potatoes are good choices although I preferred the fries and my daughter preferred the mashed potatoes. It really comes down to how you like to eat your potatoes. Corn is corn on the cob and it's 2 slices of the cob. The corn was delicious. The dinner comes with a corn muffin which was scrumptious if you like corn muffins. The portions were generous and in a way that you could easily divide it up if you wanted left overs. I could have taken a piece of chicken and cob home and half the fries to have for lunch another day. We were ravenous so we polished our plates.

For those who like to dine in, I love the way the restaurant is setup with the checked tablecloths on wood tables and chairs. It felt like I was at a family picnic and they have the ability to setup for larger groups, but I would call ahead first.

If you don't want to dine in, I noticed they have feasts that you can order and they are done up really well including a build your own so I may try that another day when I don't want to dine in, but don't want to do fast food. I highly recommend this place if you want to get...
