VERY disappointing! We usually go to Mindy's (in Mokena) for ribs, but received a flyer in the mail giving free entree to anyone named Dave on Aug 30th, and Dave's is a little farther than we usually go for carryouts, but it was FREE - so we tried it (and were disappointed). Ribs were dry and overdone (not enough sauce), corn was dried, potato wedges were limp. But hey, it was free (we wouldn't pay for this and won't go here again, even if we got another free coupon). Mindy's is STILL the best for barbecue ribs and fresh, crispy fries.
This is the best rib restaurant in the suburbs. Anyone who says otherwise is crazy. i have never tasted ribs so tender and complete. The sauce choices are great!!!
My Fiancé and I we're enjoying a "date night out" and decided to try Famous Dave's for the 1st time seeing we were in the mood for BBQ and our typical BBQ rest. Had an extreme wait. When we arrived we were told there would be about a 20 minute wait. After nearly 45 minutes I began to grow inpatient and was told there were still 2 groups a head of me. I accepted this and was seated at just over an hour. After being seated our waitress asked for our drink orders and took our orders being unable to answer our questions about menu items. Our food came out with extreme speed, the time he had to take her to walk to the kitchen it was out!! Makes me a little leery because that means the food has been sitting there waiting for someone to order it. However I had waited long enough to get a table and was starving! The paper towels would have tasted good at this point. I became more dissatisfied when my food was room temputure. My chicken was dry. The ribs were fatty and not tender as most places are. The corn on the cob that comes with most all meals was the best part with enough salt and butter. My fiancé thought the same of his meal. He had the beef brisket witch was 'okay' a little dry but good considering. None the less itâs easy to see we weren't satisfied with the food. As far as our waitress went we were unhappy as well. Not once did she come back to see how our meal was I had to flag her down for some butter. Again later we asked for another drink, that we never received, gave up on and asked for the check. After we paid we waited nearly 20 min for our change! We left hungry unsatisfied and nearly $50 out of our pocket. Not the experience we had hoped for..... I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE!
