  On one given day of what was to be all that's good we ventured to Famous Dave's for what was to be only how famous can you ask enough that they are doing it so right with all the delicious variations of bbq you can think of!
  
  Well to start our server Ariana was awesome she was totally on her game with knowing all the different sauces as well as the menu fully with also being able to answer any of the questions we might have again and again!
  
  So we started off with the onion strings as for me onion rings are pretty much a must with BBQ and here was no exception as they are just yummy especially with the many different BBQ sauces they have here at Dave's so these were pretty much your typical onion strings but still super yummy all around so you really can't go wrong with them!
  
  The sauces here are what really did it for me as each one was delicious and unique to it's own flavor when it comes to sauces I'm all about that as I just love the diversity between something that's the same but definitely not my favorite of them being the hottest one on the table when it wasn't really hot for me but it might be for some others and if that weren't enough they brought me another sauce that's even hotter and only available by request I forgot what it was called but it was definitely yummy!
  
  Now it comes down to the main course the brisket and the chicken both of these were cooked perfectly and just all around delicious BBQ goodness you can ask for as the meat was tender and the brisket was just the way it should be!
  
  The fries were fries yummy for what they were and even better with some of one of the different variety of sauces on them to make it all good.
  
  The jalapeño mac&cheese was definitely the better of the sides as it just had a great balance to it as it wasn't hot but just flavorful and went well with the BBQ that was beside it!
  
  Overall this is a great place to grab some BBQ wile at Cedar Point as it's just outside the park on the marina side so you can come eat some goodness and get right back in as there's another entrance just across the street it's for that reason as I'm sure I'll be back here again at some point for what's good!

  Seemed more expensive than a typical Famous Dave's. Inflated prices could be due to the fact that they are a part of Cedar Point. Food and drinks were good. Restaurant was clean. They have a sink in the dining area where you can wash your hands. Server was nice, even though she didn't know much about the menu. I didn't like how the manager checked on certain guests, but not all of the guests in the restaurant. I think everyone could use some additional customer service training.
  
  The restaurant is outside of the park and its situated next to a marina. Definitely give it a try if you haven't done so. It's not great, but it's not bad either.

  We used to go to famous Dave's when we lived in Ohio a few years ago. We were at cedar point and we decided to go for dinner. The staff was quick to seat us and to take are order. My wife happened to hear a few of the wait staff complaining about other guests. One group
  Wanted to switch tables. And someone left a tip lower then she thought she deserves. Complaining about customers around other customers is not appropriate. That's why I gave the 3 stars. We ordered the large trash can lid for the family. The food was good and at a reasonable price. A lot better than eating at the park.

  I am so disappointed in my trip to this Famous Dave's. My friends and I wanted a sit down restaurant where we could warm up for a bit, so we came here. We were seated immediately and our waitress took our drink orders immediately as well. She had a weird attitude, I'm not sure if she was trying to be funny or what? But she would swear while talking and just keep a serious face, it was rather weird and I really wasn't fond of it.
  
  I ordered the BBQ pulled chicken sandwich with fresh steamed broccoli as the side. When it came out the broccoli was cold, and you could tell it was old because majority of it was brown. For my sandwich I ate it open-faced because I didn't want to eat the top piece of bread. It was okay, it didn't really have that much flavor to it actually. Within the first couple bites I felt something hard in my mouth, and just picked it out, not knowing what it was. In the next bite, I found myself chewing on a full bone in my sandwich. So needless to say I was done with that and ready to leave.
  
  Not some place I would ever go again while at cedar point. You are better off spending the same amount of money for their food inside the park.

  We drove back into the park after a day at Cedar Park Shores to go to Famous Dave's BBQ. I got the Texas Brisket and Mac and Cheese. The brisket was honestly one of the best briskets I have ever had in my life! I was so full but had to keep eating! Also the Mac and Cheese had corn in it. I didn't think I would like that, but it was soooo good! Our waitress was very good and nice. Next time we go to Cedar Point we will for sure be coming back here!
