Famous Dave's -b-que - Kalispell

Ribs weren’t bad, but the brisket was dry. C+ from the health inspector posted at the front door was a turnoff. We ordered a few items, following the recommendation I got the ribs and the texas beef brisket combo with fries and coleslaw as sides. The ribs were good, not the best but good. The brisket however was dry and didn’t look appetizing. The other combo we had was brisket with chicken, same issue with the brisket, but the chicken was good. Portion wise the two meet combo is good for an adult. Our friends got the single item sandwich that comes with one side and they said they weren’t full. The restaurant has a cool decor though.

Staff was amazingly happy and friendly! Ten years ago famous Dave's food was much better now it just seems like it could be made in a cafeteria. I was not expressed with the quality or the pricing. Job well done for cleanliness and handicap accessible restrooms! Don't try the brisket. The ribs were tasty though.

Food presentation was great. Staff was great. Baked potato barely warm, steak was very fatty, no sauce on the “coleslaw”, and and rib tips tough and chewy. Amazing corn muffins though

My husband and I came to dinner and we were greeted by Alan in front of the housekeeper. He was incredibly brilliant! He brought such a positive energy that made our night. He did everything to make sure he helped all the staff. I'm sorry if I spell it wrong, but our server Cinda was as amazing as well. The attention and kindness was degree A! The food was fantastic, but these two wonderful people did the night and I thank them so much for everything they do! We will definitely be back for this 2!

The restaurant was really nice and well maintained in terms of cleanliness. The POS systems were out of date and didn’t have the rewards system in place when my party and I went to check out. None of the employees knew what I was referencing (which was worrisome. The server and manager had to talk with their IT person who knew what I was referencing. I was informed that it was in progress but this place hadn’t had their systems replaced or updated in 10+ years.
