Far better than other thematically classic rib bars I've been to! A bit pricey, but well worth it in portions AND quantity! Would recommend to anyone wanting that country-esque bar scene!
Nice place, excellent food and great server which my family enjoy it. Thank you and will recommend it with our friends and relatives
I wanted to take a minute today, to thank you and your entire AMAZING staff, for an absolutely wonderful evening last night! The service was impeccable!!! The staff was VERY accommodating with our large party of 13, you made us feel at home, everyone was so friendly and courteous, even on such a busy night (people were lined up outside waiting to get in) and the food was exceptional, generous portions! The Legendary BBQ Feast was HUGE, the 5 of us who shared it, couldn't even finish it, even though it was so delicious! The chicken and ribs were the best, the meat was so tasty and tender, it fell right of the bone and the brisket just melted in your mouth, my husband kept raving about it, all night! Everything was perfectly done, right down to wishing my daughter a Happy Birthday, she was so thrilled with her birthday desert, you made her day! Thank you, can't wait to see you again!
I’ve never gone to famous Dave’s and had a disappointing time there. Food is amazing, staff is friendly. All around great place! �
first time there. Our server was awesome and she recommended a platter for me and my son which was delicious
Went there to celebrate fathers day. It was a busy night for the restaurant but they still manage to accomodate us. The food, the server and the place is awesome.
Went for a late lunch and it was very good. Had the classic cheeseburger with fries and a beer. Everything was delicious. Wasn't really busy at the time but service was prompt with friendly staff. Nice setup. Will be back again for sure.
Excellent food and the portion I got was worth what I paid for. Service was excellent!
We went for a late dinner last night, our server was awesome, the food was fantastic, we pretty much had everything she suggested and we can't wait to go back again!
Excellent!!!
fast service
Beautiful waitress
Great food
Love it!!👍🏽
Food really tastes like barbecue. The decor feels like I’m in someone’s shed but if that’s what they’re going for, it’s cool.
Went for lunch today. Food was soooo good and flavorful! VERY fast and friendly service. Also excellent prices.
Next time definitely go for a dinner!
Been here a handful of times before and Famous Dave's is hands down my favourite BBQ restaurant in Winnipeg!!! Friendly staff, fantastic food, large portions. You really get your moneys worth!

Got there around 5PM on at Saturday thinking I would beat the rush but there was already a line-up. I was disappointed that they don't take reservations between 5 and 8 PM but I gets that shows they're popular. The wait for a table was only 20min and that gave us a chance to sit in the bar order drinks and look at the menu. Once we were seated we knew exactly what we wanted.
We ordered the legendary feast ($80) for 4 people and it was great! It had ribs, pulled pork, roast chicken, corn, beans, and everyone's favourite, corn bread 😁 everything was delicious and there was so nigh food we even had leftovers. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the fries but I never really like fries anyways. I was amazed they had the platter out in like 15 min after we ordered. Also ordered a margarita and mudslide which were OK.
I like how they have everything ready at the table. There's paper towels, wet naps, all the sauces fully stocked.
This is my favourite BBQ places that I have tried so far and I would highly recommend it.
Definitely the one place in the city I would go if I want to feel the truly authentic Southern-style BBQ fest.
I ate here about a month after I got back from my travels to the Southern states and I was surprised at the resemblance.
I would go with a bunch of people and order the sampler platter which was probably designed to feed a small army. That way you get all the variety and keep the costs down.
E xcellent! My wife and I are big fans of Famous Dave's in Fargo but did not expect much here. We have found that US franchises usually fall short when they come to the Peg. HUGE SURPRISE!!! Excellent value for the amount of food, excellent quality and the same quirky fun service from the staff. Five stars all the way! I actually found them better than in tbe US.
I am not a huge fan of ribs but I figured I would have to try here. My dad loved his meal and so did my mom. I liked the ribs but could not finish them. I was really pleased with the mac and cheese, grilled pineapple, and corn bread muffins. Would return to try the meal served to you on a trash can lid? (some sort of special-sounds fun)
This is hands down my favourite BBQ restaurant in town!! In terms of food and price, Famous Dave's is better than Loveys BBQ.
If you ever go to Famous Dave's, you must order the Legendary BBQ feast! Whether you're there on your own, with a friend or with a group, you must get this feast! The feast comes with a bit of everything, including a choice of Texas beef briskets or Georgia chopped pork (get the beef briskets!!), St Louise Style spareribs, roasted chicken, corn bread, Wilbur beans, potato wedges, corns, coleslaw and toasts. The portion of food being served will feed more than the recommended serving so be prepared to have leftovers!
Famous Dave's is a solid 30 mins drive from where I live but I still go there on a regular basis! I think that's nuff said.
Pretty impressive decent service and a large amount of food. I will be back A pretty big menu and love their beef with all the sauces. The waitress did a good job of explaining the menu and making suggestions
Very large portions which is not surprising as it is an American chain. Service was a little slow but food tasted great. Overall, Famous Dave's was a good experience.
first time there...we had really awesome service and great food.Pricing was good and an awesome serving of desert if there is a birthday person...ty Mandee....2 thumbs up

I have now been to this restaurant a handful of times and I have enjoyed my experience every time.
I am a very big fan of BBQ meat and this is a great place to go if you are like me. The menu has many different options to choose from but I normally go with my favorite. I really enjoy the Rib & Rib combo and choose a half rack of the original sauced Ribs and a half rack of the Memphis Style Ribs. I really enjoy both of them. All of the different sides taste great, I particularly like the Garlic Mashed Potatoes and the Corn-On-The-Cob. Both great BBQ choices. I also have to mention that the Corn Bread that comes with each meal is amazing. I could have an entire meal of just that.
The service has always been good for me. The staff is always very attentive and they are great at making sure you have all of the different sauces that you may want from their large selection. This place is usually very busy and wait times to get a table can be a little long at times but the staff is usually very quick to turn over a table and get the next group in. The times when I have waited in the lounge the bartenders have always been very friendly and knowledgeable about the different beers and cocktails on the menu.
The atmosphere is very good here. It has the BBQ joint feel that you would expect at a place like this. I really enjoy how they incorporated a lot of local Winnipeg/Manitoba items to their decor. As mentioned, the place is usually full but it is never too full or overwhelming when in there. It has a nice feel to it.
I really enjoy this place and will definitely be coming back again.
Celebrated a double birthday tonight at dinner. Other than the super long wait, which I can kinda understand because we were a group of 22 and that place is always busy, everything was amazing 👍👍 the food was awesome, service was fast, friendly and efficient! We had 4 of the family feast platters and we were all stuffed! Can't wait to go back once I get over these meat sweats!
Been here twice. Once for lunch when they first opened and again for dinner recently.
The feast for two is huge and quite delicious. It seemed a little more like a classy Montana's rather than than a high end rib/steak house.
It was a nice experience though, service was reasonably fast and the food was good with large portion sizes.
I've been here many times and was never disappointed. Food always came out quickly, quality has always been consistent. and the staff was always super friendly. My favourite dish from here is their ribs, and I also like their homemade potato chips. They always give too much food and I usually can't finish them all because their sides are just huge. Will definitely be back!
A group of us dined here last weekend and we were all happy and full at the end of the evening. The nachos are awesome! The ribs were excellent and surprisingly the fish was great! The place was packed but service was still perfect. The place is very clean and obviously very well managed. We will be back!
A good place for traditional BBQ. I've been to many BBQ places but this place is just OK, in my opinion. I found the ribs on the salty side. We ordered feast for two and it was huge serving. We ended up boxing the grilled chicken-still a great portion take out. The beans was very good, so with the coleslaw and the fresh warm corn bread was great. Fast friendly service at a busy Friday night. If we'll be back? we don't know.
Delicious.
Not cheap but decent price for the food you get. Great place to go to celebrate.
The feast for 2 is great for 2 people who can eat a lot and still have a few fries left over.
The 6 dipping sauces for the fries are fabulous. My favorite is the Rich & Sassy sauce.
The St Louis are my favorite ribs. So tender.
The roasted chicken is so flavorful and moist.
Great sides are fries, corn and beans.
Finally, the corn bread is to die for. Fresh and so yummy. I always eat mine and my boyfriends :)
Good service, even on a busy night, great food and cocktails. Love the atmosphere! Only complaint is that some of the food was a little salty.
Service was amazing, the bbq sauce was even better. It's a little pricey but it's worth it, the servings are quite big. The only thing was that the corn on the cob smelt funny and was soggy.

Decent. Went here on Wed for dinner and we were promptly seated. Ordered the Feast for $75 and it fed our party of 4 with some leftovers to spare.
The ribs were small and dry, it was well seasoned but not at all juicy or fall of the bone and seemed to have sat under heat lamps.
Brisket and pork (we chose half and half) were well seasoned and juicy - the pork was my favorite dish in the entire feast.
The order came with an entire chicken quartered up and was cooked perfectly and came soft and moist. I found it lacked flavour but the tenderness and sauces made it for that.
Corn was mushy for my taste and didn't enjoy the texture but others in my party liked that very much.
Sides were wedge French fries, coleslaw, baked beans and corn bread. the Coleslaw is one of the best coleslaw I've had in the city. The ratio of mayo to the veg was right on and the flavour had the right balance between sweet and sour. Rest of the sides were average but I did like the corn bread.
I'm not much of a sauce guy and did not really like any of the sauces offered on the table for except for the sweeter sauce.
Service was relaxed and could have been more attentive as we had to ask for refills ourselves on a few occasions. We at around 5:30 and the place was not very busy.
Mmmmm Good.. I'm not usually a fan of chain restaurants, but I found this to be good quality for a BBQ joint.
The cheesy burnt ends were soooo good, as were the memphis-style baby-back ribs! I thought the service was good and prompt for being such a busy day (Mother's day). The only complaint is that for a side of mashed potatoes with a burger... to get a tablespoon worth at best, was laughable.
8.5/10. Love their food. the service is slow tho, we waited for our food for a long while. the server's nice and all. its my first time there, but nothing much to say.
Delicious!!! Feast for two was more like feast for, four. Absolutely everything was DELICIOUS. Fav BBQ in the city .
Went there once maybe two months ago. The lounge is small but the service was good and fast. Happy the had pbr on tap and I got the brisket sandwich and it was excellent. The corn was also good and beans were alright. It's a bit pricy but well worth it
Best BBQ. Love this place. Have been here many times since it opened up. Meat on the ribs just falls off the bone. The Legendary feast is also a personal favourite.
Always GREAT!. Since I live by the Transcona area, I tend to frequent famous daves quite often. It's delicious and filling. We always order the Famous Feast for 4-6 and have plenty of leftovers. We do switch the beans for something else like broccoli or potato salad. Service has always been good to excellent!
Inconsistent food.. We have had very inconsistent experiences - our first visit shortly after this restaurant opened was amazing and we were raving about it! Unfortunately, our last two experiences were mediocre. Most recently, the meat was dry and service so-so.
Oh my god this place is everything a good family BBQ place needs to be. Awesome service and amazing food!
Went last night before 6 first time great food. We had the Legendary feast for 5 of us, and some sampler app could not finish awesome chicken . next time I'm gonna have that on its own.
Went last night! We were a.... Went last night!
We were a group of 7....4 adults, 3 kids.
We had a mixture of wings, chopped pork sandwich, and chicken fingers.
Food was really good, but the chopped pork sandwich was the star of the show for sure (in my opinion).
Service was quick and friendly, very nice staff. Didn't wait too long for food to come.
Didn't have dessert, too full.
Cost around $80 for all 7 of us....u do the math, not too bad at all!
I'd definitely recommend trying it out if u haven't yet, really nice.
Wow. Great bbq food
beats danny and bucks and woodys in all aspects
they could learn a lot by visiting your location
Great BBQ ... Make sure you order the feast for two! It gives you a great selection of the most popular menu items on one extremely generous platter. The feast for two could actually feed 3-4 hungry people. We always have enough to eat for lunch the next day. Also, enjoy having a variety of sauces on the table so you can switch it up and add as much sauce as you desire. Service has always been courteous and efficient.
Wet Wipes and Farts. American Franchise BBQ eating at its messiest. What you get at Famous Dave's is ribs, meat, cornbread, briskets, meat, beans...and yes, meat. So much meat in fact that your colon will punish you later. A potentially overdone Woodsman vibe that crosses the border into kitsch. What else would you expect from an American BBQ house? A bit pricey but it will fill you to brim and the flavours are there for sure. Be prepared for messy eating and a burn on the way out...if you catch my drift. Not for everyone but maximizes what it sets out to do.
So Delicious!. Famous Dave's is way too good. Seriously. I could eat the Georgia Chopped Pork any day. Their fries are tasty and out of the ordinary. The feast for 2 is huge, more like a feast for 4! My husband and I ate til we were full, took home leftovers and had another full meal for both of us. Our 1 year old son can't get enough of their corn on the cob, he likes the pork too if he is in the right mood.
We will be back probably far too often.

New Favorite for Meat. Went here for my birthday. Waited an hour to get in hoping that the wait would be worth it. Was it ever. Tried an appetizer of burnt ends and onions strips which were amazing. Me and my wife both had 1/3 slab of ribs with boneless wings and mac and cheese. The ribs were superb, the chicken wings were super juicy and tasty and the mac and cheese was great. I loved the choice in sauces. I actually loved one (Devil's Spit) so much I bought a bottle of it to take home with me. I will definitely be going back to Famous Dave's again real soon.
Mothers day dinner. They ran out of chicken and beef so basically just pork feast. I like their chips and variety of sauce. Their chili taste too sweet for me, the corn muffins is normal. Would probably go back but I'll make it sure that they have the chicken and beef next time.
The staff are friendly and awesome. :)
That was Dang Good!!!. Went Friday evening April 5 2013 with my family
There was a bit of a wait
Hostess was extremely friendly
Service was fantastic with them making sure my child was part of the service.
Was given a sauce tour of all the sauces.
We had Ribs / Fish / burger
Food was fast , hot and tasted great. Was really surprised how well the fish tasted.
Will be back very soon
Well Done Famous Daves!!!!!
BBQ nothing special compared to other BBQ places around. Love their brisket nachos, meal in itself.
Dropped in and had a couple of brews and a half slab or ribs. They were excellent! Very meaty, the sauce was just the way it should be, sweet, gooey and sticky. I'll be back.
Awesome. I have been to Famous Dave's in Winnipeg twice and both visits have been outstanding. Frist trip was for dinner and I had the rib and wing combo. Boneless wings are good, but I prefer the traditional wing instead. Ribs were fantastic. Friday I had lunch there with some guys from work to celebrate National Pig Day. I had the lunch menu rib and wing combo. Only two ribs, but they were big and meaty. Along with the six wings, a side of Wilburs beans and cornbread muffin there was plenty of food and good value. Will absolutely return. I have been going to Dave's in the US for years and they are very consistant in their product.
Not the best but good. Good sauces. Meat is well prepared. Will be back.
Okay. I had the 2 meat dinner, and chose brisket and chopped pork. For my great tasting sides i had wilbur beans, and an extra corn bread muffin.
I found the meat quite salty and the brisket very fatty, and tried to wash it down with an iced tea, but couldn't drink it because it was way too sweet. I like sweets but this hurt my teeth, had to dilute it.
Everyone else at our table enjoyed their food. My wife had a cajun chicken sandwich, and she was happy with it. She also ordered a caesar, but didn't enjoy it because it was made with scotch and had a slice of bacon in it! What a waste of scotch and bacon haha. However our server brought out another "normal" caesar without any issue.
The service was great! I believe Dakota was our server's name. The food was hot, he explained the types of bbq sauces, and it didn't take too long either.
I'll try something else next time to see if it was just the smoked meats that were salty because i think everyone else at the table were happy.
This place is awesome. I love it. Always get the ribs. And I highly recommend the diet Mountain Dew . Always fast, always epic
Great service. I've been a few times and the food has been a bit hit or miss. The last time, my corn cob wasn't completely cooked. I wasn't planning to mention it to the server but it slipped out. When we got our bill, we noticed he took off $10. Something similar happened the last time we had gone (they were out of dessert, so we got a reduced bill).
I've worked in a restaurant and I'm very aware that stuff like that happens all the time. The difference is when they acknowledge it and do something about it, by either reducing your bill or giving you something complimentary. I can say if they didn't, I wouldn't be back. Oh and if you haven't tried the Wilbur beans yet, do. They are amazing.
Only had to wait a few minutes, service was ok she was young. Intro to sauces was nice. The complimentary bbq chips was yummy.
The food was AMAZING! The portions were just right and the flavour was off the charts!
I will Definitely be going back again.

Just Okay- Not worth all the hype.. I set my expectations high as we've enjoyed our FD's experiences in the USA. Unfortunately, the quality/quanitity did not produce value for money.
Immediate seating in the bar at Noon on a Friday. The restaurant was very busy. Our server, Julie, provided great service to our table and kept it up throughout our entire visit.
We had the Feast for Two as we wanted a variety despite the Burger and Chili-Cheese fries looking pretty good and recommended.
The corn was nothing special, but we weren't expecting the excellent corn you buy during the summer at the roadside stands. The ribs, beans and coleslaw were all okay. We thought the chicken had the best taste of the entire meal. The cornbread muffins were good, though they should send out the whipped butter with the meal. The feast has LOTS of fries which were okay.We went with the pulled/chopped pork vs. the brisket. The pork was a MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT. It was very dry and had to be brought back to life with a good helping of BBQ sauce. They also serve the pork over a slice of texas toast which looks like an attempt to disguise the VERY small portion.
Overall, I was disappointed. For about $60, I'd rather spend my money at another all-u-can eat rib establishment on Regent. Thankfully, Julie gave us great service. We will go back and try the burger & Chili-cheese fries, but we won't be rushing back.
Habanero Habit. I was prepared to be a hater because I tend not to like American chains and their mascot is a cannibalizing devil-pig.
We were seated in the bar in a booth beside a window, which was actually very nice. The acoustics were good, the music was catchy; and I enjoyed the complementary introduction to their signature sauces. The meal itself had a full range of flavours from black pepper to hot chilli and horseradish through to piquant onion.
Service was good, portions were large, and the price was reasonable.
Absolutely love this place!! Great food, good times!! Loosen your belt before you eat!!!
I've been to Famous Dave's twice now and both times were amazing. Had amazing service both times and the food was pretty great. Had the normal ribs the first time and wasn't the biggest fan of the sauce but they were still pretty good. The baby back ribs that i had the second time were to die for! I can't really rave about the sides that come with meals as they are pretty basic and some aren't too flavorful but the baby back ribs make up for it. Definitely will be back!
Flavorful food & prices on par with similar type chain restaurants. Really enjoy the different types of sauces available & staff are extremely helpful & nice. The wait can be long depending on what time you go. Similar to red lobster wait times for dinner, so don't be surprised when you go on a weekend night at 630 & have to wait awhile.
Finally some good barbque!!! After wasting money at other places for what I was looking for famous Dave's deliverd. Feast for two was actually a feast and the sauces were amazing. Wilburies revenge sauce made me feel like a kid again. The ribs, brisket and half a chicken fr 30 bucks fed me and te girlfriend for about 3 days. They even give you barbque home made chips while u wait for your food along with an explanation of all the sauces by the waitress. The baked beans were the best I've ever had and alone would make me go back. Checkers one draught selection also. Check this place out get the feast for two and youll leave happier than a man with beans brisket chicken ribs and chips!! Oh yah the wife said she lived it also!
Befor walking in you could smell the deliciousness radiating from the restaraunt. Our server was amazing, super friendly and thurough. Gave us the tour of sauces. The meal was so flavorfull and very well seasoned. Also the decor was very well done. I was happy not to see animal heads all over the wall like at montannas
We went for a birthday celebration. There were six if us so we ordered the Feast. We all really enjoyed everything except perhaps the fries which were (I think) frozen wedges and ok but not too interesting.
Not bad. Had feast for two and we had a lot of leftovers. Picked it up and ate at home,but the take out counter girls should not be working in customer service
![Zomato]( "Recensione")
Finally went.. Decided to wait a few months to visit Daves, especially in light of the many negative reviews. Went just before lunch and it wasnt all that busy and sat in the lounge section. The server was very prompt in coming to welcome us and take our beverage orders. Our drinks came within a minute or two. She was very helpful in making suggestions, and as it was our first visit "introduced" us to the various bbq sauces on the top, using bbq chips to sample.
My dining partner is celiac, so we did let the server know about that, and what sort of things would be available. She brought a seperate gluton free menu which was a nice touch. The server actually asked what "gluten free" meant and admitted to knowing nothing about it. This was all fine, and it was nice she showed an interest. A note to all restaurants....if you serve gluten free items, clue in your employees what it is all about...
Anyways, back to the meal....I had the rib/brisket combo with beans and fries for sides. It came fairly quickly and all food items were hot. I had hoped for a larger portion of brisket as it was a bit on the skimpy side but was tender and tasty. The ribs were a tiny bit of a let down, as I was really hoping for a true St. Louis (as advertised) eating experience. They were hot and tasty, but not of the "fall off the bone" variety, and had a few sections of fairly tough areas and unedible charred areas....still not too bad though and many perhaps like them that way. The beans were very good, and the fries were thick cut, fresh and crisp. My daughter had the gluten free items, including ribs (overcooked) and slaw (the fries are coated, so not gluten free), she also recieved a cornbread on her plate, which is NOT gluten free (I ate it...). The provided sauces on the table offer a nice choice and they were all tasty in our opinions.
Our waitress checked in on us several times, topping up delicious coffee and waters (including lemon slices).
All in all it was pretty decent fare, and I will probably go again. The ribs were the only let down, and do not compare to the ribs at Montana's. I have had ribs in every province in Canada and have really yet to find ribs better than the ones at 'Tana's, proving that a chain can indeed do up some great items.
So there you have it, the service on this occassion was great, the food decent, the atmosphere was fine and the prices comparable to other similar theme restaurants.
If you`re a hungry carnivore, then this is the dinner place for you! Tons of meat selections that are brought and carved at your table. Lots of sides to choose from. Did find the food quite salty, but the accompanying drinks were delightful! You need to try the one in the pineapple. The price for the dinner all you can eat is a little steep, but definitely an experience you should have if you`re going anyway. There is a separate menu for downstairs that includes individual items.
WOW! Epic food and even more epic service. Great ambience. The lounge is the perfect place to watch the game, enjoy great eats and a solid selection of local IPAs. Highly recommended. #supportlocalwinnipeg #localgood2go #greateats
Meat , meat and more meat. If you are in the mood for having a massive quantity of chicken, pork and beef and beef and beef, this is a great place to go. Everything is served at your table too no standing up to wait in line. Great service. Great atmosphere and all the cuts of meat were deliciously well seasoned. They should offer more rare cooked cuts because everything is basically cooked well done. So overcooked a bit in my opinion but nitpicking here. I loved it.
The meat was awesome like usual. The vegetables....not so much. They need more variety for cooked vegetables. They have a few salads, but should have more. Just my opinion. I go for the meat, my wife needs more variety than just a variety of meat. Still great place to go for a special occasion.
