FRONT RANGE BARBEQUE REVIEWS

This was exactly what we needed after being outside in the cold all afternoon. The atmosphere is cozy and great for adults or parties with children. We were sat very quickly on a Saturday evening at around 5pm and the service was quick and friendly. The food was delicious - comforting, well portioned, and flavorful. Dessert was also great and I highly recommend the Granny’s Apple Crunch. It’s not incredibly sweet and it’s spiced very well. Highly recommend for those looking for a casual bite, they have outside seating and live music some nights.

We had a great lunch at this little BBQ place. We sat on the patio, and I had surgery 2 weeks prior and needed ice for my knee, so our server filled my ice bag for me while we waited for our food. She was amazing! We had the pulled pork sandwich and the mashed potato bowl. Both were very good! We will definitely return when in the area!

Quick and friendly service despite how busy it was. The atmosphere was casual and inviting with live music as a nice touch. Food was a little under seasoned and fries were limp but overall great flavor.

FAMOUS DAVE'S BAR-B-QUE REVIEWS

I’m sitting in one of their booths as I type this out. The food and staff in this establishment are perfection! This was my first time visiting a Dave’s and as a southern girl, I’m picky about my bbq but this place for sure delivers! Our server named Blue was very informed and efficient while the manager.. I believe his name is Mark (sorry if messed your name up!) made us feel so welcomed. We’ll definitely be back!

Today was our first time at Famous Dave's in Colorado Springs and we were blown. The food was delicious... so well prepared! The manager, Mark, and our server were very friendly. We'll definitely go back there!

Great Food!! Great Staff !! Great adult beverage selection. Atmosphere was great and relaxing. Staff was very helpful and provided perfect recommendations.
