Famous Dave's Menu & Prices (November 2024)

If BBQ makes you genuinely happy, at Famous Dave’s happiness is served slow-smoked and sauced!

“Famous” Dave Anderson opened his first restaurant in Hayward, WI in 1994 and quickly gained great popularity. Why? Because Dave’s always been passionate for authentic BBQ and dedicated to bringing the best BBQ America has ever tasted to the customers. Successful restaurants in over 30 states and over 700 awards later, it’s safe to say that Famous Dave’s dream came true – his restaurants became synonymous with “the best BBQ in America”.

Famous Dave’s pitmasters get their hickory logs smoldering around 4 a.m., hand-rub them with fresh spices, and slow-cook them to perfection. From smokin’ starters like BBQ Nachos and Southside Rib Tips to the legendary Award-Winning Ribs with crispy, caramelized coating, Famous Dave has it all. Not to mention the signature burgers and sandwiches that will create an unforgettable taste explosion in your mouth. There’s plenty more, though! Check out Famous Dave’s menu with prices right here.
