Famous Dave's BBQ Pit Hidden Treasure

In our first review of hidden gems or overdue closures we decided to go to my hometown of New Britain Connecticut, and find out if the town sports anything famous or true to the stomach as I like to say. In our seach we realized that a new and a so called famous Dave's had been in town for a while but we just hadn't had any real interest in the plauged town because of its history. We stepped foot on a Sunday before Labor day and realized that there weren't that many people in the restaurant but the atmosphere was lively. There were cheers in the background and a humming of Happy Birthday sung uniquely to anything I've heard anywherelse. So we sat and began to see how fancy and common the lay out of the restaurant was for our convinience. We saw that the waiter was aware that it was our first time and made us feel like an old friend or neighbor which made us feel at home. A straight *** star for service the food and drinks were on time and the attentiveness of the staff to accomodate us was needed in an area that lacks that type of customer service.

The second observation of Famous Dave's was that in all it was an experience, their legendery fries were brought out and the server explained the three sauces that were on the table and gave a small amusing history to all of them which made the journey both unique and informative. I wasn't falling asleep because the server was too bored with his job nor were my guests. We tasted the fries with the different sauces and each of us picked our favorite and the fun and games began. We ordered the famous feast which was both resonable in price and amazing in its assortment and quality. The Saint Louis Ribs which were a part of the selection we had to wrestle over because of its taste and the award winning sauces that he had picked to add to our personal taste. The taste and quality of this service was a 3 star for its amazing taste and presentation.

We would definately recommend this gem to anyone who would ask which is one of your top rated restaurants in the New Englang area. It is a hidden jewel that needs to be discovered by everyone in the greater Hartford area. Many of my neighbors and friends have asked what is close to home and good to spend for a good quality meal. Ladies and Gents this is it " Famous Dave's is in our top Ten"
