   Everything was great. The only problem was I had requested a high top in the bar area and the only table for 6 was seated with 2 people. Fortunately, two of our people couldn’t make it. So the smaller high top worked. But why would they seat 2 people at the big table when you have a reservation for six coming? Chuck

   They're OpenTable account said they were open. They took our reservation and confirmed it. We drove 20 miles to get there and found the parking lot empty and doors closed. We were denied. Some restaurants were open later on Christmas and your OpenTable page showed you were one of them. It lied and cost us both time and money. Thanks for nuthin'. We ended up at Maynard's who was open. Thank you, Maynard's. Our server got a HUGE tip and thank you for being available. But for Famous Dave's in Maple Grove, whoever manages their OpenTable account gets coal in their stocking next Christmas for their poor management.

   John, We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience with Famous Dave's. It’s unfortunate that our OpenTable information led you to believe we were open when we were not. We understand how frustrating it is to drive such a distance only to find the restaurant closed. Your feedback is important, and we will take action to look into this issue regarding our reservation management. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to have the chance to serve you better in the future.

   The restaurant was very cold. Waitress was nice polite. Fast service. Expensive for the amount of food received.

   The restaurant could have been cleaner! And the music was so loud that having a conversation was impossible!!!! And our Dad who is hard of hearing to begin with, couldn’t hear a word. As well it was his birthday.

   The waitress was the worst waitress I’ve had in all the years I’ve eaten out. Didn’t listen told us our bun wasn’t burnt and it was black. Wrong dressings, twice all made us hand the food to the others and NEVER checked back . Asked for manager he was great.

   It was my mom's birthday and we ate there. Everything was good. Server was very nice. We were probably loud but it wasn't too many people inside so we enjoyed ourselves!

    There were 6 of us that went for my husbands birthday. He loves Famous Dave's but the closet one is 45 minutes away. Anyways I really have no complaints. I guess if anything is that on Open Table it has you add if you want, any special requests or anything you want them to know and I put it was for a birthday. I would have even better if maybe the restaurant would have acknowledged or said something about that.
