The Original Famous Daves
This weekend on Friday August 12th, I ate at The Original Famous Dave's Restaurant on Round Lake in Hayward, WI. It was Linnie's at the lake this weekend so there were a lot of festivities going on. The atmosphere on Friday was that of complete chaos. There were a few staff members that seemed organized, but the rest had an apparent lack of training and professionalism amongst the majority of the employees. The wait time for a table was 45 minutes to an hour and little effort was given to entertain those waiting to dine. I ate the all you can eat fish fry entree for my meal. It turned out the fish fry was buffet style, which was a disappointment having to fight through the crowds to the buffet line only to find over half of the bins for food empty. After returning to my table, I soon discovered that the fish was mushy, under cooked, and almost raw. The baked beans were soupy and overcooked, and the rib tips were so tough the meat would hardly come off the bone. For desert I had their famous bread pudding. Unfortunately for Famous Dave's, this too was far from good. The bread was burned and the caramel sauce was so over simmered that it had a burnt taste. All in all, this experience was not good and for claiming to be one of the best restaurants around, Famous Dave's came up far short of a good experience. My ratings are as follows:
Appearance (restaurant/staff) - 4
Presentation (Food) - 2
Taste (Food) - 2
Timeliness (Service/Receiving Orders) - 3
Attitude/Professionalism (Staff) - 3
Overall Rating - 2.8
