Famous Dave's - The Best Barbecue Restaurant When You're Hungry!

Barbecue Restaurant Near Independence OH - Famous Dave's - ribtips

When Grandpa's grill is too far away and Grandma's good old-fashioned fixin's aren't in sight, it's time to find a solution. No, it's not to spend hundreds of dollars attending culinary school and learning to be a top grill master ... although if that's your thing, we totally applaud you. But we were going to suggest something a titch easier: Head on down to Famous Dave's BBQ restaurant in Cleveland, where the atmosphere is always cozy, the price is always right and you can get that cozy dining experience without flying Pops in or earning that diploma. Welcome to the family restaurant you'll want to call home forever. And guess what? We'll let you, because the more the merrier.

Famous Dave's Cleveland started with a passion for excellence and a deep love of barbeque. Elliott Baum, owner of Blue Ribbon Restaurants, and franchisee of Famous Dave's, had a vision to bring the best BBQ in the nation to the Greater Cleveland Area.

The Barbecue Restaurant You Can Call Home

Okay, fine, so you can't actually set up a bed here, but at Famous Dave's, you can do pretty much everything else you can do at home. Kick back and enjoy a long conversation with friends, order round after round of your favorite brew (or Shirley Temples for the little ones), and get seconds. Or thirds. Or ...

Don't take our word for it, though. Since our first barbecue restaurant opened in 2003, we've opened a number of other BBQ joints around Michigan, Ohio and Illinois. Our family friendly atmosphere and delicious food (we're not too modest to say it) have earned us numerous awards. In fact, we are the most awarded barbecue restaurant in the country ... and the world.

Why Choose Famous Dave's for Your Barbecue Restaurant Of Choice?

You mean besides the cozy & welcoming atmosphere? When you slide into one of our comfy booths, you'll get so much more than food. You'll get:

  • A rustic atmosphere, complete with bright d©cor, low lighting and fairy lights
  • Artwork to set the scene
  • Wooden walls and furniture
  • A roomy but familial layout reminiscent of family holiday dinners

Admit it, that sounds just like the BBQ restaurant you've been looking for. Next time you want to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, retirement, engagement party or even a down-home wedding, you can do it right here within our walls -- or call on us for our epic catering services. Either way, we're here to help you find delicious, satisfying food and a grand ol' time.


When You Just Don't Want to Have a Seat

Sure, sometimes you're looking for that family restaurant sit-down experience that strengthens bonds and allows everyone to catch up. Sometimes, though, you just want awesome barbecue and sides on the go, or at your own event. Well, good news: Famous Dave's has officially joined the food truck revolution. We now boast our own fire engine red truck that tools around Detroit, and expect that we will launch trucks in our sister cities soon. In the meantime, we're happy to stop by your corporate festivities, wedding reception or other big event. Because delicious food should be mobile, don't you think?
