YES!!! I’ve tried several places in the city for BBQ (I still need to hit Dinosaur BBQ) – blue smoke, hill country, and some other famous one – and none of them compare to Famous Dave’s. For a chain, I don’t think it can be beat. I’m really stoked and will be frequenting it monthly.

hey this place is pretty damn good for BBQ, even for inside the city. But I’ve been to quite a few BBQ joints and FD’s was the only one that i liked. im sorry if the FD u went to didnt have the proper people to run the place. I’ve been to one so many times, the manager gave me a tour. Oh and for the guy that commented up there about briskit and no smoke ring, briskit dont show a smoke ring. ribs, butt pork, would cause, because its a lighter color meat which ables u to see the ring. This is what you people have to do all day. And i think the prices are fantastic for time square NYC!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot believe that ANYONE would eat “Famous Dave’s” crap.

Jesus, Joseph and Mary, when I need a fix for good barbecue, I have Century 21′s private jet fly me down to Texas where I can get some really decent brisket, sausage, and ribs.

PLEASE stop posting this disgusting stuff about being able to buy edible barbecue in NYC.

I am sorry, I like Famous dave’s. Is it great BBQ no, but it sure taste good, and it is really cheap out of the city, do you have to pay more in manhattan, yes, but it is still a hell of a lot better then Dallas BBQ, and Virgils is not good at all, so yes if you want to head down to Rub, or hill country, or up to Dinasour will you get better bbq, of course, but that doesn’t mean if you are in the area and am hungry this isn’t a vital dinner option for tasty food. Yes the prices seem a little high but that is NYC

There used to be a Famous Dave’s in my little hick town in Michigan. Emphasis on the “used to be.”

Frozen, pre-cooked barbecue served in a faux Western establishment by waitstaff that introduce themselves as “Hi, I’m Famous ______!” Yeah, it didn’t go over well. NYC deserves better.

I don’t think any of the tourist spots use actual wood. We had brisket here from somewhere and there wasn’t a smoke ring to be seen.

That’s so unfortunate… the ones in LI are super cheap for lunch.

This place will crash and burn fast. No way they can compete with Tad’s next door!
