### 5/5 — Famous Dave’s

*2026-05-09, version 2.3*

All I can say is wow , we have been to a lot of different places for ribs and it is very hard to find great ribs . Well here they are , we have been here a few times now and did not want to leave a review until I made sure they were consistent and yes they are .  Don’t hesitate to go there and if you go on a Friday ask to be seated in Gabe’s section he is spot on .

### 1/5 — App resets and I need help every time I try to use it

*2026-07-05, version 2.3*

Please fix it

### 1/5 — Terrible customer service

*2026-05-11, version 2.3*

Placed a pickup order for Mother’s Day at 415. It was packed as i assumed it would be so I walked in with patience. However, after almost an hour waiting, it was ridiculous. There were literally a dozen people in the area at all times and the tempo wasn’t matching. I overheard the girl behind the counter tell someone that they were busy and pushed the dine in orders out before the to go orders so they were trying to catch up. How is this fair to people who placed orders in advance? I asked the girl if I heard her right and she said yes and they were doing what they can. No apology, no offer to anyone in the area for coupons, no manager out there addressing the frustration. And when I finally got my order and got home, not only was it missing the extra muffins I ordered, my homemade cake in my car was melted and ruined.

### 1/5 — Sports bar?

*2026-04-16, version 2.3*

Ask for a basketball game and they put down a novela. lol felt petty

### 1/5 — Small Ribs

*2026-03-16, version 2.3*

The ribs that you buy at this restaurant, which are four that they give you which should be for a child because that’s the size of they are small and you have your choice of beans or potato salad or whatever and what they come in are tiny bowls serve for a child of course bread that comes with it all for $25 plus tax ridiculous with the amount that they give you specially the ribs that was hilarious. We all went home hungry. It’s like that commercial years ago. (where’s the beef?)

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2026-01-22, version 2.3*

I cannot log into the app. When I try to reset the password it never sends me the password reset link. Very frustrating, I can log into the website just fine, but the app is horrible.

### 1/5 — Order never picked up

*2026-01-22, version 2.3*

Need a refund

### 1/5 — Poor communication and customer service

*2025-11-03, version 2.2*

Order a feast meal and granted there was an initial credit card issue but I immediately called to rectify it and was told that there was an issue only to have them hold up my order 10 minutes regarding the same issue even though I had a confirmation number it’s no wonder Famous Dave’s isn’t as popular as they once were.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t track gift card balances

*2025-08-28, version 2.2*

We use gift cards all the time for ordering and it doesn’t track the balances on the app.  You have to either call, go in person, or send a contact form to know what your balance is.  It would be so much easier and in line with several other restaurants to be able to track it in the app itself.

### 1/5 — Review

*2025-08-23, version 2.2*

I just left the location on S 27th st. When I came in and asked for my order the cashier did not greet me or speak at all. She turned around and came back with my food and when I asked for more sauce said she put some in the bag. I had to wait a long period to receive more sauce. I then looked at my food and the portion was so small could not be what was advertised. I asked someone and I was just brushed off. I will not be returning.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2025-08-10, version 2.2*

The baby back ribs weren’t edible. Horrible tried for the first and now last time. Long Horn Steakhouse has better baby back ribs.

### 5/5 — Super Service

*2026-07-03, version 2.3*

I was at the Famous Dave on 8605 Citadel Way Louisville Ky this morning. My carry out server  Ashley was all by herself taking orders. She was so good but some of the other servers who were there could have helped her. Reason there was no coustomer in the dining room. 
I did my order online but I had to redo it at the to go desk. Then I had to wait. No problem with that. It’s just that Ashley was taking orders over the phone and she was very busy. This was at 11:00 am
