Famous Dave's B-que - West Des Moines

I usually enjoy Famous Dave's, but over time, as a chain, they seem to be getting worse. i don't know if it's because it was an uber eats order, but they didn't seem to mind putting out bad food. ALL the chicken was dry ,white and dark, the ribs were thin and tough, and only the brisket and muffins were worth ordering. for the $50 it cost, I'd at least expect it to be edible.

First time coming to the actual restaurant to dine in. Was told to wait 15 minutes because being understaffed. Sat and waited, got skipped by people who came in after us. Waitress didn't recognize we were there first. Never coming back again

Food was ok. Nothing to write home about. The menu is smaller than it used to be, which was disappointing. Service was really good; our waitress was exceptional.I think you can do just as well bbq'ing at home.

The ribs were very delicious, and so tasty and the service was way more than I expected.

Placed an order the day prior to when needed and they had it ready at the exact time we’d requested.We ordered two family feast, an extra pound of brisket and 6 additional muffins.Our only complaint would be the meat on both feast orders seemed to be way less than the last time we ordered.If I hadn’t ordered the extra pound of brisket we wouldn’t have been able to feed everyone.These are supposed to feed a minimum of four each.No way could it have been enough.But we made do and everything taste wise was great.Big shoutout for it being ready and packed to go as we walked in. Great staff.
