We went to the Boiling Crab ready to feast on Shrimp, Crab, Lobster and Crawfish. Arrived to find a line out the door and a waiting list that the hostess said was past closing time. They said they were sorry but our party could not be seated before closing. Walked outside and saw a huge Famous Dave's BBQ sign just to the left of Boiling Crab. Without hesitation, I told our party of 10 that we were eating BBQ. No time to have a vote or consider other restaurants. Walked into a huge restaurant that was mostly empty. The hostess said there would be a wait so I told her we would wait in the bar. Hit the bar and told the bartender we were waiting for a table. "What" she said, "we have a table right here next to the bar". In less than a minute we were seated next to the bar and had our drink orders taken. Now that is service. With a large group of ten, we went Family Style and ordered dishes for the entire table. Fried Pickles, Burnt Ends, Dave's Sampler Platter with Chicken Wings, Rib Tips, Chicken Tenders, Catfish Fingers and Onion Rings arrived to a hungry group ready to grind. My mind went blank eating all these appetizers. The wine kicked in and I was very happy. BBQ heaven was on.
The main course arrived and I was full. The All American BBQ Feast x 2. Two of these huge platters of BBQ. I recall having one rib, a piece of Roasted Chicken, some Brisket and a taste of all of the sides. Everything was good. Living in Hawaii with very little BBQ made this BBQ heaven. Full to the hilt and still ordered two of every dessert. The Bread Pudding was the best by far. Delicious. The Banana Pudding didn't have enough Bananas and flavor.
Would definitely come back to Famous Dave's when in San Jose!
