Famous Dave's -b-que - Appleton

My Mom I stopped by Famous Dave's for lunch on a weekday. The front of the restaurant was dark void of people, so we walked into the dining room to request a table.Our server was friendly and brought our drinks and food promptly, but despite being the only server, would be absent from the dining room for extended periods.Two of the side dishes we wanted were not available. The French fries I ordered were forgotten by the kitchen, and brought late. I requested sour cream, but they had run out the day prior (despite being located across the street from the largest area grocery store).As a replacement, the server suggested ranch dressing, but brought a side of dill dip instead (not great with French fries). By the time I realized it was a dill dip, he had left the dining room again. We also needed drink refills. He was not there.I had to go find our server to get our check. I handed him his tip directly when he finally brought the bill. Which was a mistake, because then there was no one around to actually pay. We waited by the cash registers for more than 5 minutes. Our server walked past a few times, but ignored us. Finally, I saw a cook in the back and asked him to call someone to help us.Someone came to collect our money. We needed exactly $5 change, since we had already tipped our server. We paid with exact change, but the person we gave the money to said he wasn't able to get our change from the cash register he was standing directly in front of! He went into the back of the restaurant to ask someone else for change. Returning with the wrong change amount, and had to go into the back again.A very strange visit all around. Nothing like the pleasant visit I had last summer. I doubt we will be returning.

The food is still delicious; however we ordered takeout online two days before Mother 's Day to be picked up on Mother 's Day at 2:30 p.m., but the food wasn 't ready till after 3 because our dozen muffins weren 't ready. Then our gallon of lemonade wasn 't with the filled order. Another 10 min wait with the meat getting cold and the rest of our party waiting at home. I realize staffing is tight and customer demand is high on Mother 's Day, but with two days of lead time, I do at least expect to not need to remind staff of our beverage at Famous Dave 's prices.

First time here for lunch last Friday and will definitely be back! The food was great, we had chicken and chopped pork sandwiches, it was above our expections. The waitress was nice and looked like she pretty busy as they seemed to be short staffed. All in all it was a great experience, highly recommend

Visited here twice in the past year or so. From last time to tonight I had the best bbq you can have. Very delicious introduced boyfriend to the food we both loved it. Split the pick 3 combo very worth the money. So yummy will always come back. Great customer service upon pick up order. Yummy!!

Food made me and my wife sick after eating it. Sweet corn tasted old and expired, chili was dried up from microwave heating, brisket was blah, burnt ends were just not good. Wife got Cajun Chicken and she felt like she had to puke after eating it. This place will poison you. Don't go here.
