Famous Dave's BBQ - California

Famous Dave’s BBQ is a California-based barbecue restaurant chain serving authentic, pit-smoked BBQ and classic Southern sides across the state.

We cater to families, groups, and individuals seeking a delicious and memorable barbecue experience. Our mission is to bring the joy of ‘que to every table, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere where friends and family can gather and enjoy great food.

What sets Famous Dave’s apart is our commitment to traditional barbecue techniques, using high-quality meats slow-smoked over hickory wood and made-from-scratch sides. ‘Famous’ Dave Anderson, our champion Pitmaster, has earned over 700 awards and has spent a lifetime perfecting the art of barbecue. We offer a wide variety of smoked meats, including ribs, pulled pork, chicken, and burgers, alongside classic barbecue sides like mac and cheese, coleslaw, and baked beans.

From our Hayward, WI roots to our current locations across California, we’re proud to be a part of the community and continue to deliver the best barbecue in the nation. We also offer catering services for any event, big or small.
