When Famous Dave’s first appeared in Our Town, the Holt location was still in the construction/anticipation phase. In July 2015, Famous Dave’s celebrated its two-year anniversary in our community. And, says manager Kristi Peasley, “We’re here to stay!”
Famous Dave’s is passionate about BBQ. Nationwide, its food has racked up more than 700 awards in competition — for everything from best ribs, best wings and best dessert to best American food.
Everything is made from scratch, Kristi points out. The authentic BBQ starts in a live-wood smoker stoked with hickory logs and is finished on the grill with Famous Dave’s award-winning sauces. Asked what dish she would recommend to a first-timer, Kristi found it hard to narrow it down to just one thing. She settled on two: the Texas beef brisket and the Cajun chicken sandwich.
In addition to delicious entrees, sides and desserts, Famous Dave’s has a full bar with $1 off pints and its Famous Drinks from 4-6 p.m. Monday through Thursday. It also offers an extensive to-go menu, as well as catering for events from meetings to tailgates to weddings.
“Our catering is going nutso!” Kristi says.
She’s happy about the way the community has supported the restaurant, and is also proud that Famous Dave’s supports the community through charitable activities.
Famous Dave’s is at 2457 Cedar Street, Holt, 694.1200, www.famousdaves.com/togo/holt
