What to Avoid (3)

Food 3

  1. Lentil soup Net −1
    “I usually don't voluntarily rate or review restaurants but this place and I think this branch specifically doesn't worth it, lentil soup took 20 minutes and came out an indian dal soup ( I love dal but if I want one, I could have gone to an Indian restaurant). Burger came out almost cold and bread was not fresh. A bit of a bone was found in burger meat. Overall place ambiance is dull and staff are touching food with their hands when serving it.”
  2. Monster burger Net −1
    “We ordered the Monster Burger and the Pulled Brisket, which are usually my favorite meals there. Unfortunately, the food this time was terrible. The brisket looked old, dry, and very tough to chew. The burger also tasted bad, and it seemed like they used the same old brisket inside the burger too.”
  3. Pulled brisket Net −1
    “We ordered the Monster Burger and the Pulled Brisket, which are usually my favorite meals there. Unfortunately, the food this time was terrible. The brisket looked old, dry, and very tough to chew. The burger also tasted bad, and it seemed like they used the same old brisket inside the burger too. When I asked the waiter to replace the brisket, they brought another one that still didn't look fresh at all. It honestly seemed like they just added oil and reheated or boiled it again.”

Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 5
1

Try brisket. If ordering brisket, consider having it separately rather than only in a burger, as one diner found that best for enjoying it.

2

Sample the feast. The Pitmaster’s Feast was reported at AED 85 and includes smoked brisket, a slider, sausage, sides and dessert.

The Bottom Line

Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que is a wood-smoked barbecue restaurant at Silicon Central Mall in Dubai Silicon Oasis, with the brisket, burgers and steaks doing most of the talking. Reviews describe tender brisket with cornbread, a juicy Minnetonka Monster burger and a large, well-cooked steak, so there is plenty here beyond a standard barbecue plate. The Pitmaster’s Feast is a useful way to sample several items: one review lists smoked brisket, a truffle burger slider, sausage, fries, chicken tenders, mac and cheese, and mini bread-and-butter pudding for AED 85.

The American Angus smoked BBQ ribs and chicken wings also earn specific praise; the wings were called the highlight of one mixed visit. Portions are sometimes described as generous, though another diner felt the Pitmaster’s platter was more moderate than its Instagram photos suggested. Service is a clear strength in many reviews, with attentive, polite hospitality and staff who help guests choose dishes.

The setting is described as cozy or welcoming, but one visitor found the outlet small and without a view. Food quality is not perfectly consistent: separate reviews report dry, chewy or cold brisket, a nearly cold burger, and a slow meal. If brisket disappoints, raise it promptly; expectations may depend on the visit.
