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.

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.
