This place is the best BBQ in and around Nashville, Be sure to try the Burnt Ends and great updates to the menu so go Catfish.

Famous Dave's has been here for about 10 years but it is average food. They have a nice menu selection. The bar area is very inviting. They try hard with the service. I like their assortment of sauces. The side orders were served cold and the food was just average. So why go back?

Had a late lunch, early dinner on Saturday, March 23rd. There were 5 of us, 3 of whom were children. We were seated immediately in the bar area which was great for those of us who wanted to watch some of the basketball game. We ordered the onion straws which were fine. They have very little onion taste unlike a... More

Pulled pork was very good and the ribs were a bit sweet but good as well. The sides were pretty good and the biscuits were good. The best things were the pork dishes!

Went to Famous Daves for dinner. The brisket is wonderful. Very smokey and cooked just right. The potato salad is some of the best I have ever had. The BBQ beans are great. Will definitely go back. Will also get some potato salad to go.

This restaurant is the bomb! I had to Two Meat with two sides; Baked Beans, Red Smashed Potatoes, corn bread muffin and man was it good! Ambiance was on point; looked like I was in a log cabin. Waitress was on point and stopped by three times to check on me. It didn't take long for me to get my... More

On Tuesdays for $22 you can get their feast for two. It has ribs, chicken, bbq pork, fries, beans, slaw, corn, and corn muffins. There is enough to take home food for another meal. The macaroni and cheese here is very good as is the beans. Service has always been friendly when I've dined there.

Just took my mother here for lunch the other day and they've never let me down. The food is really good. I've had better barbecue but it's the perfect place for a nice lunch or dinner. I usually order the chicken tenders or the Devil's Spit Burger and on occasion, the pulled pork. The side dishes are really good, too,... More
