"I want to share our experience with Famous Dave's in Cedar Falls, IA. In the afternoon of Friday, March 3, 2017 Ashley Pump House called to confirm our reservation for our gender revelation party later in the evening. They informed us that they screwed up our reservation and that there is nothing they could do. We spent 40 minutes French calling all places where we could think in the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area to find a restaurant that could accommodate 50 people on a Friday night. Ashley finally made a call to Famous Dave's and we talked to Melissa, the manager. She asked some questions and finally said it could be a tight fit, but they were more than willing to help us. When they arrived, they told us that they only assigned a few waiters to our party. The waitresses were incredibly patient, nice and so on, all had everything they needed. When the waiters came here and started picking up all the checks, I realized I never got mine. I let the waitress know that I never got my bill, and she told me it was supervised by the manager. The manager paid for my and Ashley's dinner and my three alcoholic drinks. I wanted to let Melissa come to say thank you and we embraced her. She congratulated us and said something else. Melissa then called on Saturday and left a voice mail that thanked us and said she was glad that they could take our party. I have never had such amazing customer service and we are so grateful for everything Melissa and the waiters have done for us. And the food is soooo delicious! It was one of the best nights of our life."

"This place has REALLY gone downhill. My husband and I came in because we used to frequent this place a lot but we?re moving and wanted to visit one more time since there are no locations where we?re moving. The host was super slow to seat us. And theyweren?t on a wait. Said he?d clean off a table ?real quick.? Took him 15 minutes. Our server was either new or burnt out. Shewas very spacey, slow and not friendly at all. Didn?t know any of the drinks or beer on tap. Cut me off when I tried to orderour appetizer when she took our drink order. There were times she walked by and looked right at the empty glasses and dirtydishes but didn?t ask if we wanted more to drink or more bread. The salads came out before the appetizer. They didn?t put thedressing on the side like I asked. My husband?s salad barely had any dressing. We asked twice for extra dressing, salt andpepper. By the time she brought it, we were already done. The stuffed mushrooms were gross. Cold and the sauce was watery. Thefood was nothing like we remember. My entree was cold and my husband?s noodles were hard like they?d been sitting out for awhile. I overheard the host saying ?Oh yeah their food was up there for a while but I couldn?t take them because I was busy.? Idid say something about my cold entree and the mushrooms but nothing was compensated. My husband didn?t want to complain abouthis food. They did remake my entree, which was nice. We were both so disappointed. $102 $82 bill plus $20 tip) for mediocrefood and garbage service. Never again."

"We're new to Iowa so we've been eating our way around the Des Moines area and trying out restaurants that we haven't been to before. My daughter and I walked into Famous Dave's at around 6:30pm today. We didn't receive a greeting even though there were employees standing there. I approached an employee and said 2 for dinner. The employee spent a good amount of time fumbling for silverware and menus. We were seated and a waitress came and took our drink order and delivered it to us and said she'd give us a few minutes and she'd be back to take our order. I watched the waitress visit with a person that appeared to be the manager, then she visited with other employees. Then i saw her go into the bathroom, I think. She was gone for awhile and during this time my daughter and I talked about leaving because there are so many places to eat around town that we didn't need to wait this long. As we agreed to leave $3 on the table for my ice tea, the waitress came out from wherever she was and looked our way. I told my daughter she was headed our way and started to put the $3 back in my purse thinking we'd get to order our food because we really wanted to try the bbq. Sadly the waitress went to the table behind us and asked the customers if they needed a to go box to which the customers said no. So she left without even saying a word to us. That was our queue to leave. We ended up going to a competitor, Jethro's BBQ and had a great experience. Now I know why Dave's parking lot was pretty empty compared to Jethro's parking lot Jethro's has great food and great service. I don't know if Famous Dave's has good food, what I do know is they have lousy service. I don't think I'll go back to that location but if I'm in another town or state and see a Famous Dave's, maybe I'll stop in."
