Our authentic BBQ starts in a live-wood smoker stoked with genuine hickory logs. Our pitmasters hand-rub the meats with a custom blend of spices and cook for hours to extract the natural flavors. We source the highest quality meats and trim them up like we’re in a competition and hand-rub them with the freshest seasonings available to create mouthwatering experiences! In addition to our BBQ and grilled meats, our menu features a selection of salads, sandwiches, side items, and made-from-scratch desserts.

    We came here From out of state for my twins birthday to see family. From the moment I walked in and spoke with the hostess I was regretting my decision to eat at Famous Dave's but it continued to get worse. I choose this restaurant because I had a large group of 14 people, I reserved a party room online and it was close to the hotel I was staying. But when I walked in they had already rented the party room out to someone else. They made an incredibly small space to fit us in with all of our chairs were literally all touching. I ordered a drink, when it arrived it had a fly in it. The manager came to speak with me after the waitress dismissed my concern and said she'd send the manager. Instead of apologizing, she simply told me that she had made the drink herself. She brought me another drink without a word. Still no apology. Then it took over an hour for any food to arrive. I will never return there.

    Sharon, I’m truly sorry to hear about your experience at Famous Dave's during your twins' birthday celebration. It’s disappointing to learn about the issues with your reservation, the drink, and the delay in service. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and we appreciate your feedback. Your experience is important to us, and we will address these concerns with our team to ensure improvements are made. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we hope you might consider giving us another chance in the future.

    Food was tasty. Little more meaty rib end bones would be better but over all the food is great.

    This place has never been my favorite to eat in Kansas City. So many great options for bbq but a friend had a gift card. The service was absolute perfection. I ordered a side salad and a baked potato and they were both delicious. One friend had a delicious looking burger and the other had brisket, which she said was excellent. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I will definitely be putting Famous Dave’s back on my list.

    We made a reservation through Open Table. It was confirmed with email. When we got to Famous Dave’s, the hostess told us that they do not take reservations and it is an hour wait. We decided to eat at the bar.
