Famous Dave's B-que - Alameda

It is not very often that I give a five star rating to a business. They are far few and in between. My husband and I were invited to come in for Famous Dave's soft opening last Saturday (6/11/2016). The meal was complimentary with the exception of Famous Dave's margarita. Neither my husband nor I have ever dined at a Famous Dave's. I have already posted my 5-star rating of this restaurant and posted several photos on another website (yelp). Today we returned for the grand opening for take-out lunches. The owner greeted, acknowledged and engaged us in conversation. Wow, did we feel special! Kudos to all the employees of this restaurant for being very helpful and pleasant. I am not only impressed with the customer service but also the quality and portion of the meals. My eyes were big as saucers when I saw the Feast for Two being displayed, along with the Famous Dave's cookbook. Compared to another BBQ franchise that was here in Alameda at the Southshore Shopping Center, Famous Dave's presented a more organized approach in dealing with the customers and having top level management employees present training and guiding the new employees sure helped out a lot. The quality and the variety of the food is superb. No disappointment so far. I know there will be more returned trips to enjoy not only the food but also the outstanding customer service. This restaurant is indeed a welcome addition to Alameda Landing.

Good food. The staff was great except they were short staffed. We saw several people leave. I totally enjoyed my

Everytime we come here Luis knows exactly what we want. He always comes up to talk to us! get the ribs naked!

Some great bbq, with great presentation. The burnt ends didn't really feel like burnt ends, more just like regular rib meat, but it was still really good and everything besides that was fantastic.Vegetarian options: It's bbq. I don't recommend coming here if you aren't looking to eat a lot of meat.

Food was amazing service was exceptional. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating!
