We have frequently eaten at Famous Dave's in Stillwater, MN in the past. So much so, that we became members of their Famous Dave's Internet Club. When our son had his birthday he was sent a gift certificate from the "club" to be used on his birthday. We decided to celebrate his birthday at the "Original Famous Dave's" near Hayward,... More

We had a wonderful time at the original Famous Dave's barbeque shack! We got the giant feast for 4 and my wife noticed that I had never eaten so many ribs--her favorite --not necessarily mine until now. The meal was served on a garbage can lid. Not sure of the history behind that? Also I couldn't find any signs that... More

Food was great, made for the hungry person. I love their corn muffins and pork - pulled, on the rib, or any way they prepare it!

It's a very interesting, rustic place. Son took us here when he was here for the Birki, so it was winter snow, high and dark, so missed the outdoor beauty. Staff was lite, understNDbly considering and the food was OK. We've eaten at Famous Daves's in sioux city, it was tops there.,

Fun place with great variety on the menu. The ribs are fabulous, along with all the BBQ sauce options. Get the All American BBQ Feast if you want to try out a few different meats and sides in one sitting, plus who doesn’t love eating off of a garbage can lid? Looking forward to going back in the summer and... More

All show, no go. Ordered 1/2 rack of ribs. Looked great but all bone no meat. Great scenic location.
