UPDATED REVIEW: September 2020
Post my last visit where I was very disappointed, decided to give Famous Dave’s another try. And honestly, I was pleasantly surprised. I do hope this is how they always are, and my previous experience was just a one-off.
For drinks I stuck to my previous order of Arnold Palmer – a refreshing beverage. For starters we had the Buffalo Wings with onion string and ranch – and it was perfect.
For mains we tried the All-American BBQ Feast – and oh boy! A feast it was. This platter comes with beef ribs and brisket, roasted chicken, coleslaw, fries, corn, baked beans and corn bread muffins! It’s massive, and good for 4-5 people. And everything on this platter was perfectly cooked and delicious. The brisket melted in your mouth, the rib meat fell off the bone and the chicken was tender & juicy as ever!
Oh, they have desserts too. We tried the Pecan Pie with vanilla ice cream. And it was delicious, but too rich that you’re done with a couple spoonfuls of it. So make sure to share.
You guys, you got to try their food. No exaggeration saying how happy I was with the food! And a special shoutout to Brix and Desmond for their wonderful service.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: August 2020
This review is from a visit 2 weeks back. Probably wasn't a good day to visit, I was left pretty disappointed. A lot of the menu items were not available. An ingredient I was told they ran out of (and present in majority of the menu), magically appears when I was served my order.
Also told the burger patty cannot be cooked to medium as the patty is made in-house; which does not really connect. Resulting in kind of a dry, well-done burger. And our main course took a while to get served.
Loved their Arnold Palmer drink though, that's a must if you haven't tried it yet. The chilli and roasted half chicken is decent too, something I'd have again. Service was polite & pretty prompt, and they weren't that busy.
The whole point of dining out on weekends is to enjoy and treat yourself to some mood elevating good food and that is what I found at Famous Dave’s . I was absolutely ecstatic with what I ordered .
Southwest Herbed Chicken with two sides of Mac & Cheese and Cornbread Muffins , I liked chicken breasts marinated in Chimichurri served with fresh salsa , absolutely delicious .
Mac & Cheese can be improved a li’l bit as in macaroni can be made more soft . I absolutely loved cornbread muffins . They were soft and baked to perfection and brought warm to table .
Lastly we had Double Chocolate Brownie which was a delight to have as a finisher . I’d definitely go again anytime I am presented with opportunity .
We ordered fried chicken, burgers and some seafood items and i must say the food was super delicious. Since it is our place to have food whenever we visit Festival city.
Service 5/5
Food 5/5
Ambiance 5/5
Highy recommeneded!
Had an urge for burgers, so drove all the way to Dave’s. We ordered the smokehouse burger, crispy chicken tacos and Shirley temple. The tacos were nice and juicy with the chicken perfectly crispy. There were three big tacos in one portion. The burger was huge, open-style and delicious! The beef was well done, the pickles were perfect. The sides were good too( we took fries and corn on the cob). The best thing about the burger was the onion curlicules. The Shirley temple was a bit disappointing. Took a long time to be served and was too sweet. They accept Zomato Pro which helps. The staff were friendly
We love and enjoyed our dinning experience yesterday. Delicious food and great service from 2 staff Filipino and Mr. Askar. Keep it up and see again.
we love this place, went there twice and definitely going back, very delicious burger and up to expectations, staff is very friendly and professional
FD is definitely our favorite, with it's cozy ambience, super friendly staff and scrumptious food. I want to specially mention Bricks, who has always been very welcoming. Praveen and Bricks make a great team for sure! Last night we weren't even that hungry and knew we wouldnt be able to finish our meals, because of their fit-for-a-king portions, but we still went in just to see Bricks and for the ambience of the restaurant.
The food is undoubtedly great! We almost always go for the burgers and the arnold palmer.
Food was great! Fresh and hot. Our server Desmond was so helpful and patient whilst we battled our toddler during our meal. Thank you Desmond for making our experience so comfortable and welcoming. We will be back!
The food was excellent and our waiter Desmond did a fantastic job! We will definitely be back.
My friends and I went to famous Dave's restaurant yesterday for a quick lunch and I was so happy we took decision, I had their brisket burger and my friend had salmon the service was quick and the staff are so friendly.in a time like this I really appreciate the way take precautions on the food and their customers.
We will definitely be back 🍣

Andrew and Arun are very active and attentive. No need to always look for them and ask. Always ready and glad to serve.
Desmond is very helpful. Good place and nice food. We will definitely come back here to try the short ribs. Good portion and clean as well.
The best beef burger I have ever tried! Me and my friend were amazed by how delicious it tasted. the staff were very friendly, specially Andrew, very humble dude, made the experience better. Definitely worth the money!
The beef brisket was incredible. I'm most definitely coming back for it. Enjoyed Andrew's service, he was very attentive and nice.

Amazing food and superb service by our waiter Desmond. Will definitely be back here.
Desmond was fantastic... Helped us choose an amazing meal and checked in on us regularly.... Would defn recommend the pecan pie... It was amazing to share with my fam.... And quite a big portion.

I love my Brisket Burger with an Arnold palmer drink which is bottomless. It was an amazing experience overall food serve on time and the server Famous Andrew was very attentive to my table. I will surely bring some friends on my next visit. Keep up the good work guys👍
Foods are delectable, delicious, nice presentation. Good Service
the overall service was really good as i didn’t have to wait and my food came at an appropriate time, my server was famous andrew
We had Nachos and the All American BBQ feast which are all amazingly good! Special thanks to Mr Andrew for the fast and quality service! Overall, our experience is perfect! We will definitely go back! Thanks Famous Dave!
Our first social outing in these covid times . The restaurant was spaced out & had multi sanitizers each table . We ordered the all chicken feast , Dave's chicken & pulled chicken tacos . The tacos were yum ,so were the wings in the feast , served with beans & corn on cob. Drinks ordered -- Arnold Palmer ,lemonade & passion fruit mojito . All were tasty .
Special mention to Desmond,our server for the day, who did recommend us the specials & also was on toes to ensure
we had a time . We could also opt for disposable cutlery . We used Zomato Pro ,albeit slight glitch with the bill ,but Desmond smoothed it out quickly .Thanks Desmond for making our visit smooth .
Ordered the Ultimate brisket burger and crispy chicken tacos. The portions are quite generous and can be shared by two. Will surely recommend this restaurant for a good burger meal.
Nice place
Tried the all you can eat buffalo wings
Fresh and delicious
Amazing place, great location lovely and delicious food, so friendly staff, especially waiter Desmon is the best one, so friendly, gives great service, making the atmosphere of the place really special. Thank you so much, Desmon, from now on it’s my favorite place. I really love it because of your service and so yummy food 😋😋😋
Want to give it a high rating but few things are stopping it. Summary of the visit:
1. Neither Entertainer nor Zomato Gold was available due to Eid holidays as per the server. Weird as I used Entertainer at other restaurants who were gladly accepting.
2. Back ribs were a little crisp and not juicy at all. Seems like it was grilled earlier and reheated with sauce to be served. At this price, felt it was a cheat.
3. Brisket burger was good.bacon was crisp and beef patty was ok. Though would like it to be more juicy. Sassy burger was okayish with bland flavour.
4. Bottomless drinks were ok. Nothing special. Especially the iced tea needs to have some flavour. It was more of a plain water.
5. Service was good. Attentive servers. Nice ambience. Good environment and cleanliness.
At this price, you need something special, a little more.
This was my first time ordering from Famous Dave’s and I have to say the service was absolutely amazing. I had a small issue with my entertainer coupon since it was eid and could not be used however, the manager Mr. Brix, made up for that and was so courteous on the phone and was very proactive in helping us with Entertainer as well. This was certainly a lasting impression and one that I will truly appreciate and remember about Famous Dave’s forever. Absolutely amazing service ❤️👍🏻

The meat items on the menu are worth it. You can actually see the brisket being cooked for hours together before you actually get one of them. We actually also ended up trying a desert which was pretty good.
Our staff were so accommodating and friendly. They made the experience waaay better than what it could’ve been. Hands down, best American diner staff in the UAE - and I’ve been to all of them (TGI’s, Applebee’s, Chili’s, etc.). Our waiter Nick was awesome!
Food was great. Service by Desmond was excellent. He was very attentive and always kept checking up on us. Highly recommended!
Really delicious steak, love the fact that its so juicy and delicious. Taste was amazing. Also love the sitting its cosy and comfy plus enjoyed the fact that they keep refilling drinks
Neat, well spaced out, burgers were great.
Desmond showed professionalism with polite and friendly attitude. He is very knowledgeable of the menu and gave very good recommendations.
Had ordered the Hemingway burger and the sassy smoke house burger along with potato spirals and crispy onion rings. I must say the burgers were amazing and the portion quite good 👌👌My personal recommendation is the Sassy Smokehouse Burger👍👍👍 I love to visit the Festival City Mall outlet but during this lockdown ordered from dem and I must say the food was amazing. I regularly order from this place 😁😍
Catch Mr. Desmond Famous Daves DFC for honest reviews & services!👍🏿
Sandy was great at her service!
Excellent food ! Desmond is a great server, high spirited , very attentive, very sweet, very jolly and humorous, fun loving! Truly enjoyed our experience! Highly recommend the place and only be served by Desmond !
Great place and superb food. Big 5 to famous Lewis. We had lunch for my leap year boys birthday. Lewis and famous staff made the day very special with exceptional service a beautiful song as well . Beef brisket, burgers and nachos were perfectly done.
Had dinner here again last night and I must say it’s better the 2nd time around. Tried their Fillet steak and Burger this time- did not disappoint! We requested for medium well done, and the steak was cooked beautifully!
Everthing from the mains to the side dishes tasted good. And the staff advised a promotion of 9aed for all desserts on a Friday night (big plus!) so we helped ourselves with Dave’s Bread Pudding which was good too.
Definitely worth coming back to.
I liked the service that was given to us by Desmond. He was very kind and accommodating. Would recommend this store.
The place is huge and clean. The staff are accommodating. The menu is great! We had sassy salad, barbecue nachos and shirt ribs with sweet potato fries and mac&cheese, lemonade and cola. The serving is good for 2-3 person. They also give complimentary potato chips! .... those are yummy 😉
The 4 different kinds of sauces are a bit sweet on my part...
We walked into this place for Thursday dinner. Ordered for famous Dave chicken tenders. Oh, amazing taste.. huge portions.. loved the taste.. service is great..
Desmond was an amazing host with great sense of humor. Short Ribs was fantastically cooked. Will be back for more.
Loved the Wednesday offer for the monster burger and received an amazing service by Desmond ✌️

Great service by our server for the night, Desmond. Good food. Loved the nachos.
The passionate and extra ordinary service of their store Manager Brix was unbeatable! Since I have no idea about what is their specialty, suggestive selling was bomb! Would like to mention as well the coolest crew Desmond, thanks man! Keep up the excellent job guys! Will definitely come back often times! #Rachel

Loved the friendly service of Ms. Irene and Mr. Armstrong. The portion and quality of the burgers along with the sides was amazing. The cheesecake was literally a cherry on top.
