I want to eat at more BBQ restaurants. It just isn’t talked
about enough. Today, I am going to discuss a few items that I would order from
Famous Dave’s.
Dave's Sampler Platter
Southside Rib Tips, Chicken Strips, Sweetwater Catfish
Fingers, Onion Strings, and Wings tossed in your choice of sauce. No subs
$16.49
I used to order appetizer platters as meals when I was
younger and still will today if I can’t make a choice. All of these items I
would eat individually. I don’t have a lot of catfish so that is a standout for
me. There is a lack of dipping sauce options and I hope they have more than
just bbq sauce. If I’m getting bbq wings, I want something else for the fried
items. Also, why aren’t onion strings more popular? Way more fun to eat over just
the rings. Appetizer platters are a good way to get a feel for a restaurant.
Smoked Salmon Spread
Hickory-Smoked Salmon, cream cheese, capers, and chipotle
peppers, served with fire-grilled pita bread.
$8.99
I was very pleasantly surprised to see this pop up on the
menu. I don’t see smoked salmon nearly enough on menus. I’m a salmon fan
overall but smoked salmon is a personal delicacy for me. The added spice to
this spread is a new twist I haven’t seen. The grilled pita doesn’t do much for
me but an interesting touch none the less
2 Meat Combo- My picks
Fried chicken (served with Buffalo Honey sauce), hot links,
potato salad (Potatoes with red onion, celery, egg, mayonnaise and a hint of
mustard), grilled pineapple steaks (Two big, juicy slices grilled and seasoned
with cayenne and raw cane sugar)
$16.99
I can not ignore fried chicken. I know I could reasonably
cook this myself and I will for the right people but it’s a lot of work.
Buffalo honey is something I have not tried before but it makes sense. Sweet
and spicy mix. I like sausage a lot so easy choice there. I don’t eat potato
salad a lot and I prefer a mayo base. I didn’t pick the mac n cheese because it
has corn in it. It doesn’t make sense. Just give me more cheese. I would pick
the pineapple because I actually like grilled fruit and I like that it has some
spice.
Dave's Award-Winning Bread Pudding
scratch-made bread pudding, topped with pecan praline sauce,
served with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.
$6.69
I rarely order dessert and I would like to change that. I
only tend to see bread puddings at cheaper buffets. If I’m at a buffet I’m
getting the premium proteins. The sauce on this is what really has my
attention. The ice cream isn’t needed, at least I don’t think? Isn’t bread
pudding already moist and there is already sauce involved? Also, it is the most
interesting dessert on the menu by far.
