“Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que Modesto has a passion for authentic BBQ that is behind everything they do. They source the highest quality meats and trim them up like they are in a competition. Their champion Pitmaster, “Famous” Dave Anderson, has won some of the most coveted BBQ awards in the nation. They always knew where to find the best ribs: the street-corner vendors with their 55-gallon smokers, cooking it up in the tradition of the deep South.

Famous Dave’s gift cards are a prepaid gift card that can be used as payment towards purchases on their website.”
