Famous Dave's Brighton - Thornton

We made a reservation through Open Table and the host could not find it. Luckily, the restaurant was not too busy or we would have been asked to wait regardless of the reservation. While we were greeted right away, and soft drinks came fairly quickly, the standard lunch items took about 15 minutes to arrive. There were only two servers for the entire restaurant. Both were doing their best but that was not enough staff. Food is fine, rib tips were tasty but not much meat. Sausage was a generous portion for lunch. Restaurant was not very clean. The cutesy stuff they have on shelves looked dusty. The quaint custom of writing on the walls wasn’t fun, just looked unkempt, and the sauce bottles were sticky messes that did not appear to be wiped down after each patron left. We had an unfortunate drink spill and no effort was made to clean it up so we literally sat, feet in a puddle under the table for the whole meal. A three or three and a half all in all given the basic food, the lack of staff, and the slightly dirty interior.

We were not happy with our experience at this restaurant. After waiting for 30 minutes without being served, we decided to leave. When we sat down, no one took our order or brought us water.

The staff is excellent, the food is delicious, and overall it was a fantastic dining experience. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone.

On Valentine's Day, we visited Famous Dave's. Although our waitress was friendly and attentive, it took longer than anticipated for our appetizers and main courses to arrive. However, once our food was served, it was incredibly delicious!

Food was good. Service was slow. Not as good as it used to be. We used to come here a lot. Not like it used to be. It has definitely deteriorated. Sad. Prices have gone way up as all restaurants have.
