Famous Dave’s Smoked pork and ribs, BBQ meat and chicken, honey buttered corn bread, and drinks in a jar are some of the delicious and mouth watering things on the menu that you will find if you go to eat at Famous Dave’s!!  Although there are several Famous Dave’s locations around the valley, I enjoy going to the one that is located at Mesa Riverview.  I feel it is one of the best BBQ places to eat in Arizona!  The restaurant is in a great location, easy in and out access to the 202 Highway.  This place is huge with plenty of room to accommodate loads of people and they are very "kid friendly".  The bar is a very nice area to eat, drink, and even catch a ball game and has plenty of room and seating.  They always have the best sports games on TV and all ages are allowed to sit in the bar room, but only twenty-one years and older can sit at the actual bar.  This place has the best-smoked ribs and pork I have ever had, which go along great with my personal favorite honey flavored corn bread.  They Barbeque the food fresh for every order and use their secret sauces to make the food that much better.  The atmosphere is very laid back with funny jokes of pigs becoming the next meal hung up on the walls.  One of my personal favorite jokes is little Wilbur meal from little Wilbur menu.  The restaurant’s atmosphere gives off a very southern picnic feel to it.  There are checkered place mats and has wood looking ceilings and walls with a wood bear at the front door ready to greet you.  The servers are very nice as they let you try every sauce, and draw a picture of a pig with the different sauces.  The service is better than what you would expect from a chain restaurant.  They are very quick to take your order and attentive to your drink needs.  They also wear jeans and t-shirt giving it that southern picnic feels to go along with the corresponding taste.  Famous Dave’s is ready to serve a big family with their dinner and lunch platters that come with a little of everything on the menu.  Every time I go to Famous Dave’s we order the platter, which feeds my family of four with an abundance of left over’s for the week. After every visit you can expect a pound of chicken, pork, ribs, a ton of fries, and a full serving of beans alone because of the amount of food they serve here.  If you do not feel like sharing you can always order your choice of chicken, pork, or their famous ribs.  The ribs are to die for; they also like to show them off by telling you all the awards they win for the ribs.  Let me say that the ribs are seriously meaty!  They are big boned with about an inch or two of meat around.  The Barbeque sauces they offer are tasty, rich, and the variety allow for a different experience every time you try a new one. Their coleslaw is extremely creamy and taste good, so I am told because I personally do not enjoy coleslaw.  My family and I have been going to Famous Dave’s for as long as I can remember.  It almost has become a somewhat tradition.  Whenever there are special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, Mothers day, Fathers day, graduations, and even post religious gatherings you can bet we will be celebrating at Famous Dave’s. We choose this place not only for its awesome food but also because I have a large family and the restaurant has more than enough room to accommodate all of us comfortably.  I would highly recommend Famous Dave’s to anyone that is new to the valley and also to residence that have lived here their whole lives and have not visited the restaurant.  When family relatives come to town they really enjoy going to Famous Dave’s.  If I was asked to say one thing I do not like about Famous Dave’s the only thing that may come to mind would be that the wait can be extremely long depending on the day and time you get there.  For instance if you go on a holiday weekend the wait may be longer than you may expect.  If the wait at Famous Dave’s is too long and you are still craving great BBQ than I would suggest you should go to Logan’s up the street because your are bound love the BBQ with great sauces to choose from there as well.  I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who would like some good BBQ in the valley with a fun atmosphere and quality food.
