The Ribs that made us Famous!
Our St. Louis-Style Spareribs are the heart and soul of Famous Dave’s. Slow-smoked for hours, rubbed with our signature Rib Rub and finished on the grill with that legendary flavor that earned us hundreds of national awards. 🏆🍖
These bad boys put Famous Dave’s on the map, and they’re hogging the spotlight during Ribfest!

What sets Famous Dave's apart from other BBQ joints is their commitment to authenticity. Founder Dave Anderson spent over 25 years traveling the country in search of the best barbeque and feasting on a variety of smoked meats available from every barbeque joint he could find. His passion for ribs began as a young boy when his dad would bring home slow-smoked spareribs from street corner vendors who used 55-gallon smokers filled with charcoal and smoldering green hickory wood.
Today, Famous Dave's continues to honor this tradition by using only the best ingredients and smoking their meats low and slow over real hickory wood. The result? Mouthwatering BBQ that will have you coming back for more.
