OK, so when I first discovered Famous Dave's in the Midwest, I fell in love. Living in the NW and being deprived of great BBQ, I was excited to learn that Famous Dave's was coming to Oregon. I have to say, that I've eaten at the Tualatin Famous Dave's 3 times, and each time, the Ribs were not the same as what I experienced in the Midwest. Maybe they're not slow smoking them long enough, but each time I ordered them, they meat was tough and stringy, not the fall off the bones and melt in your mouth Famous Dave's experience I enjoyed in the Midwest. I spoke to management each time to let them know that my experience wasn't good as compared to other locations, and was given excuses each time about ""the bite"" of Portland taking all the best ribs, or the staff is new, or whatever excuse du jour. 3 strikes and I'm sad to say, Famous Dave's is out, at least here in Oregon. If you want good bbq, try Podnah's in NE. That's REAL HONEST BBQ now!
