About this restaurant

  • Great for live music
  • Good for groups
  • Good for special occasions
We are located in the Calhoun Square Building. Enjoy live music and incredible food. 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.

    They have been closed for weeks and Opentable keeps taking reservations and not even open anymore. What a waste of time and energy ...

    We went with a group for our sons end of school year celebration. The restaurant was very short staffed and unable to manage the service. There were only 4 table full but we sat forever to be served.

    Good service from our waitress Kimberly and ambience is hospitable for large groups. The ribs were a bit dry and tough, but the Georgia mustard and devil sauce made up for it!

    The ribs and brisket were outstanding! It has been years since I have been to Famous Dave's. I was pleasantly surprised. I look forward to returning

    GBF Been trying for years to see them again. Worth it. Every other act is the poor man's version.

    Food was the highlight, we got the feast meal. So much food for the price, ended up taking much home and had at least three more meals. Music was good as well, server was nice. I'd recommend for a big group.

    Food was cold. Sent it back and ask it to be reheated. The veggies came back ok, but the chili was barely room temperature. Order another cup of chili later, it was delivered barley warm, it was never even hot enough to start to melt the cheese. Took a really long time to get our food. The band was great, but they put tables on the dance floor so there wasn't much room to dance.
