Reviews for Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que in Hermantown, MN

I would give it zero stars if that was an option. On our way to be seated my friend asked for the empty table by the door and... was told no. Trying to stay away from the few people there we asked about another table on the way to be seated next to a fulltable and we?re again refused. Asked about a table that was just vacated willing to wait for it to be cleaned and we were againdenied. We decided to leave. I told the young man I couldn?t believe they would turn away business over a table and the younglady with him yelled have a nice rest of your day. We went to Outback and had a great meal but more importantly, great service.I won?t be back. Read more

Was surprised they had a drink tax. Paid 3.00 for a soda. Then another 3.00 for food tax. Plus the regular tax. Been to other... restaurants there's not that add tax. Then sat us in the hall only table there. By an outside door. Thank goodness it wasn'tcold every time that door opened. Read more

Food was excellent. Waitress was very good. Took about 35 minutes to get our food. The place had empty seats. Biggest... disappointment, the small portion size of the catfish fingers. 7 small fingers for $12. For that price I'd expect more. I didlove them however. Read more

Went for lunch, plenty of seating and quick service. Food was good and I had the rib tips. A bit fatty but very tasty. Everyone... else seemed happy with their meals. We do the feasts for pickup. Plenty of food. Read more

Take out is so easy at this Famous Dave's. Ordered and paid on line, designated a pickup later in the day. Pickup counter is... just across from the hostess podium. Staff were particularly helpful by offering sauces, plates and napkins. Glad they don'tautomatically pack plastic utensils since that is wasteful. For eat in, this place is lively and very kid-friendly. Easyhandicap accessible entrance. Booths available. For anyone using a cane, wheels or walker, you'll want to park in lot behindrestaurant. Pull ahead to stop light, ten turn right twice. Read more

We had lunch here on 8/14/22- a Sunday evening. We were on our return trip from the Boundary Waters. There were 4 in our party.... We were able to get a table very easily; the restaurant was 2/3 empty. The service was very friendly. We had a variety ofentrees, but no drinks or appetizers. The food was good, but not great. I really liked the barbecue. I felt like the sides wereespecially small for the price. The restaurant was reasonably clean. We would probably eat here again, but it wouldn'tnecessarily be our first choice. Read more

When it comes to finding southern style barbecue in Duluth Minnesota I would say this place is as close as authentic as it gets.... But being from the south of myself I will give a three star rating only because the mac and cheese did not round out to be asouthern authentic side item. More comparable to a kraft mac and cheese. The sauces and variety of flavors are amazing. If yougoing to fashion your Northern restaurant after a southern culture movement you must have some type of cornbread and collardgreens so that was unfortunate. Read more

Excellent food as usual from Famous Dave's. The brisket and ribs were spectacular. Service is fast, friendly and attentive... without being bothersome. Food was out quickly and hot. Parking is a little tight. Nice fun place next door for the kids toplay and the rest of Canal Park is very accessible. Read more
