Famous Daves Bar-B-Que - Novi (MI)

4 /5 Amol More: On the second visit to the vendors location, we decided to stop at this restaurant for lunch by friend’s recommendation. It’s a famous barbecue restaurant in the area. I always only go with either veggie or chicken sandwiches, so I ordered Cajun Chicken Sandwich with fries as a side. Also ordered boiled corn as it was very tempting. I like the way they served the sandwich. Actual sandwich had a chicken patty with fried onions in it which was different from any other sandwich. They served lettuce, pickles and tomatoes on the side. I liked both the sandwich and corn. Fries were okay but not great. Price was justified for the quantity of the food. Overall satisfied with the food and time spent.

5 /5 Lakisha Gould: My friend and I went for her birthday and the food was great! Very nice waitress even though it seemed like she was all by herself.

2 /5 Kao Yang: I hadn’t been to Famous Dave’s in a while. I’ve always enjoyed their BBQ in the past, so I decided to stop in while passing through the area. Unfortunately, inflation and the pandemic seem to have really taken a toll on this place. Lunch was disappointing. I ordered the two-meat and one-side special and was served a sad, reheated rib and a burnt chicken thigh. I left hungry still. Definitely not the Famous Dave’s I remember. Never again.

5 /5 Yang Kevin (Kevin Yang): Great food, especially the spare ribs. The brisket is a little on the dryer side. Fried chicken is great. Service is wonderful.

1 /5 S S: I ordered 1/2 lb of brisket for $15. Disgusting. We noticed about 3 pieces were ok but 3 were not edible. You couldn’t bite into them. Like rubber or hard gristle. Nasty looking. No one could eat it. We bought a whole pumpkin pie too. It was a off colored and the filling had a texture like clay. Old and the batter taste like soap suds was in it. Smelled funny too. It was told to us by the manager named Jo , that its the least sold pie of them all. They get them from Baker Square or it used to be Bakers Square bought by FD. We ended up driving back for a refund. The Manager had a snug attitude. Not too nice really. I had talked on the phone with her concerning this matter. I showed her the meat. She gave no offer to replace with better pieces either. Just kept trying to key in the refund quietly. She finally could and gave the refund. I asked her: are you sorry about this? She said: I apologized before to you. I said we had to drive all the way back here. I just wondered. I left disgusted with the don’t care attitude shown. Needless to say : always check everything thoroughly in carryout bags. No matter how long it takes.
