Famous Dave's

User Rating: 2 out of 5 stars

Was excited about trying Famous Dave's. While visiting my daughter in Junction City, we decided to go to Famous Dave's in Manhattan. We went on a Saturday night at 8:30. The place was busy but we where seated almost immediately. The waitress took our order almost as we sat down. It's looking good and smells great, also. I had the BBQ chicken with Wilburs beans, drunken apples and 2 pork ribs on the side. My daughter had the Georgia pork BBQ sandwich. The flavors were fantastic. I like my BBQ to be both "fall off the bone" tender and succulent of which our BBQ was neither. The ribs and Georgia BBQ was dry and tough. The chicken was moist but had to fight it to get it off the bone. Small amount of redness near the joints. Being from North Carolina, we may argue about eastern or western NC sauce but we do agree that if the meat is not moist and tender it is not worth a return trip. Sorry, Dave, flavor alone is not going to do it.

I have been here a few times. It is an ok bbq place. Seems to depend when you go. I was told they do most of their cooking one day out of the week and everything just stays in the smoker. Makes sense based on my own experience. Some days tend and amazing, other day tough and dry. I am from KC so I am a bit spoiled on good bbq.
