Erica our server... Laura the manageress are kind beyond words. They are super kind and attentive. Food is always terrific and tasty. The restaurant has a unique ambience that's not luxurious but very laid back and comfortable. May God bless them.

Their staff made me cry tonight... twice. My brother and I love this restaurant. Actually Famous Dave's is our favorite restaurant. My brother has had 24 surgeries in life. Due to extreme and violent tremors, he has been unable to brush his teeth for 15+ years; he would injure himself if he tries. So two thirds of his teeth are broken inside his gums. He is unable to feed himself. Tomorrow he will have his 25th surgery and two surgeons will work two shifts back to back and extract all of his teeth.I am really broke. Despite that I decided to bring my brother to this restaurant tonight in Chandler to enjoy his last real meal before tomorrow's surgery. For three months after that, he will not be able to eat solid food. We also invited our friend, a gentleman who lives in the same skilled nursing facility. He loves this restaurant too. Tonight's visit was our third one this year. The staff know us. It is very challenging to feed my brother. I have to hold his head tightly and place the food in his mouth rapidly because of his violent tremors.On entry their Manageress ran and kept the door open as I pushed my brother's wheelchair into the restaurant. I had to drive back to bring our friend. Two wheelchairs cannot fit in my car and they both need to be in the front seat. Again, the staff kept the door open for him to roll his wheelchair inside. We were late but the staff assured us it will be OK if we leave a bit late. They remember me. And my brother. And our friend.We ordered our food and it was awesome, as always. Delicious. Clean. Healthy. Just perfect food. Our server Erica and the Manageress Laura were extra attentive, as always. Kind beyond measure, as always. Then I asked for the bill. I saw $25 had been paid by cash towards our bill. I asked Erica what was that? With a humility that is reserved for the elite Angels of our Lord, she said someone from another table had paid the money. I realized this was her own doing or that of the Manageress. I began to cry in face of the greatness of these spiritual giants. They owe us nothing and yet after they had showered us with such amazing hospitality, they paid towards our meal. I was overcome with awe. This was pure grace. I dropped off my brother and came back to pick up our friend. I walked in and loudly thanked the empty dining hall which had remained open only to keep our friend inside, after the closing time. Laura came out again and I said I cannot thank them enough. She showered me with such kind words....she made this 62 year old tough guy cry again.These staff have angelic qualities. I hope and pray - and I know - that an ample share of the blessings of God will surround each of their team members and of course will embrace Laura and Erica. They have left an indelible mark on me and I will forever remember their gracious kindness. Thank you.

Good service and nice happy hour menu. We went with the feast for two I enjoyed the ribs and loved the corn bread my wife loved the chicken. I disliked the brisket and sweet corn was so over cooked I couldn't eat it

Kathryn Byrd

Fatty brisket on both the brisket sandwhich and the 1 meat luch plate. It wasn't fit to eat. Overcooked baked potato. Our server. Gabe, was friendly and courteous.
