82SiouxGuy Posted July 3, 2015 Posted July 3, 2015 Someone was telling me that GF is getting a Famous Dave's. I haven't seen any info on it but does anyone know if this is true? My sources tell me that it is going in next to Borrowed Bucks. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 My sources tell me that it is going in next to Borrowed Bucks. Sure, but are they %gobc recognized and approved sources? Quote
bigskyvikes Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Hey we want famous daves And Famous Dave's you will get! My sources confirmed that! Quote
Goon Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Someone was telling me that GF is getting a Famous Dave's. I haven't seen any info on it but does anyone know if this is true? I have been hearing that for a long time. I am still waiting. Quote
tnt Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Can't imagine Dickies can hang on much longer, as there is never anyone there, even during dinner hours. Quote
tnt Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Not where to eat, but heard rumors of Costco coming to town. Anybody with reliable sources on that? Quote
bison73 Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Can't imagine Dickies can hang on much longer, as there is never anyone there, even during dinner hours. Considering its terrible BBQ that isnt surprising. On another note I dont see why people are gaga over Famous Daves. They arent consistent from place to place and are mediocre at best. Quote
Hayduke Posted July 4, 2015 Posted July 4, 2015 Considering its terrible BBQ that isnt surprising. On another note I dont see why people are gaga over Famous Daves. They arent consistent from place to place and are mediocre at best. Another thing I agree with you about. We have one down the road. Mediocre and overpriced. Quote

They arent consistent from place to place and are mediocre at best. I can say the same about almost every chain from service to food, and even from time to time. It even goes for individually owed places. Some times I go to Wild Hog and it's great, other times, not so much. You name a restaurant, and you will get mixed reviews. Quote
dagies Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Honestly, I've been to Famous Dave's a couple of dozen times over the years here in the Cities. While I would typically prefer to frequent the small, mom and pop BBQ joints (Big Daddy's is easily my favorite, but Ted Cook's and Caps are good options) I have found FD's to be more consistent in the quality of the food they serve. I find it to be very good, and generally consistent. I haven't had occasion to go there for a couple of years so maybe things have changed more recently, but consistency was one of the things I appreciated about FD's. Maybe other stores outside of the metro area suffer, or maybe there has been a degradation in their quality in the last year or 2. But I've always been favorably impressed. Quote

Would that be Ted Cooks 19th Hole? Small little joint. Take out Only? Quote
Fetch Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 Meat is going to vary - I just had a fantastic steak from Sam's Club Quote
darell1976 Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 The FD in Fargo is nice, the cornbread is great. Quote

bison73 Posted July 5, 2015 Posted July 5, 2015 yep Wow its been there for along time. I lived in the cities in 80-82 an picked up food from there. Downtown on Hennepin there was a famous rib place that I cant remember the name of? Any idea? Quote

FSSD Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Would that be Ted Cooks 19th Hole? Small little joint. Take out Only? I recommend both Caps or Ted Cooks.. and yes take out only for Ted Cooks. The area around Ted Cooks has made some changes recently. There is a new Northbound Smokehouse and Brewpub. I have heard good things about, but I have not tried. It is always too busy when we stop. Which I take as a good sign. Quote
bison73 Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Are you talking about Market BBQ? Yep thats it. Thanks. Is it still there? Quote
82SiouxGuy Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Yep thats it. Thanks. Is it still there? I think so. It's been several years since I've eaten there. I don't get to the Twin Cities very often these days. Quote
