Famous Dave's only uses the thickest cuts of meat and trims them up in-house -- exactly like we do for competitions!

When the meat's been trimmed, our Pitmasters get to work applying our fresh dry rubs by hand before putting them in our live-wood smoker to be slow smoked. In order to lock in that smoky flavor our customers crave, we put each tender cut of meat on the grill. This creates the char-grilled sweetness on the outside of the meat that we're known for! All of our hickory smoked ribs and juicy chicken are great right off of the grill or topped with any one of our award-winning sauces. We're recognized across the DMV area for our BBQ -- is your mouth watering yet?

The Best Never Rest
Barbeque's Living Legend

Famous Dave is the most awarded Pitmaster in history — a true originator blessed with a great sense of taste and a passion to create only the best of the best. Even among BBQ champions, Dave is recognized as the authority on the art of cooking with smoke and flame.

Dave's passion for ribs began as a young boy in Chicago. His father would bring home the best tasting ribs, slow-smoked by street vendors using 55-gallon drums. They were legendary ribs smoked just like the champion Pitmasters did way down in the Deep South. And thus, his story begins.

What Makes Great BBQ?
You hand rub each slab with spices, then slow smoke'm in a pit of smoldering hickory like the champion Pitmasters in the Deep South. These ribs are so good right out of the smoker—try 'em without the sauce—just order your bones naked! - Famous Dave

"Delicious food and the best customer service I have ever experienced. Drinks, food and check were brought out quick. The waiter was very friendly and explained all of the 8 different sauces. At the end of the meal, the manager came over and gave us a free bottle of our favorite sauce. I highly recommend stopping in if you see a Famous Dave's in your travels!" ."
- Jackie M
