Famous Dave's -b-que - Irvine

Ordered takeout and tried the catfish fingers, famous fries, burnt ends, wings, and rib tips. The food was good, but not great. I'm not sure if it was the day, but I found all of the meat (except the wings) a bit dry not at all like what other Yelpers experienced. Maybe because we got takeout and didn't dine in? Not sure. The best thing I had was the chicken. Wings were well sauced and were nice and juicy. Five stars, no question. Next was probably the burnt ends. It was a little dry, but the flavor was really nice. Love the char that I was tasting. The rest I could do without. Catfish was by far the driest we couldn't finish those, not even my toddler! The fries were soggy. Rib tips were okay, but again, quite dry.Maybe it was an off day, maybe it was because we got takeout, who knows!

Fantastic experience. Service was great. Jose the manager was wonderful and attentive. We enjoyed our delicious meal and will continue going back.Plus their cornbread is the best

Food is soo good. You don't even need to drive to Texas. Great BBQ in OC. Nice customer service.

Great BBQ! Had the 3 meat combo and everything was delicious. I love the fact there was complimentary corn bread.

2.5/5 stars Got take-out from here, and I have to say I wasn't impressed. I got 4 ribs with cornbread and Mac and cheese as the sides $20). The ribs were pretty scrawny without much meat and were not very tender. The BBQ sauce was also too salty. The Mac and cheese lacked the richness/creaminess I craved. The cornbread was the saving grace of the meal. Two generous pieces were included, and the cornbread was so yummy. The food wasn't warm even though we only live a few mins from the restaurant), so I had to heat it up in the microwave. Pricey for the quality of the food.
