Dave Anderson, a Native American businessman and the founder of Famous Dave's, is purported to have gone on a 25-year pilgrimage scouring the little roadside barbecue shacks of the Deep South and Midwest for the ideal barbecue recipe before starting up his first shack in Minneapolis. It's an appealing tale; it may even be true. In any case, the proof is in the product, and his pit-smoked barbecued ribs have won awards across the country. He's come up with five different sauces that reflect different regional variants of the barbecue taste, and packaged all of this lore into an extensive menu full of sandwiches and combos to meet every taste and price point. You can get a brisket or pulled-pork sandwich, or a half-rack of those award-winning ribs with corn on the cob, slaw and mashed potatoes.

    Small portions and so-so sauces. Famous Dave's is not my choice for great barbecue.

    Famous Dave's has the best BBQ in this area.I visit frequently...If you want some real good chilli, well made ribs with great bbq sauces and to finish it off and excellent bread pudding...then famous Dave's is the place to go.Those are just a few of the very good items on the menu...And no thay are not paying me to say this.

  • Famous Daves is most authentic

    As a diehard Southerner, I can tell you that Famous dave's is the real thing and is without a doubt the best BBQ joint in NJ. The hot BBQ sauce is a must.
