"Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que"

So, Liza and I were coming back from Atlantic City recently. We decided to take the Black Horse Pike home, because we were considering stopping for some place different for dinner. So, that is the advantage of taking that way home. There are a lot better opitions then the KFC off the AC truck stop.

We always passed this place called Famous Dave's Bar-B-Que. Its located not far from the Hamilton Mall in what is considered Mays Landing in South JErsey.

Let me tell you this place just rocked. It was by far the best first experience I had in years. Liza claimed they might have been the best ribs she ever had.

Stepping into the resturant I knew it was going to be good. They had all kinds of cool stuff on the wall like hunting and fishing gear. It was designed like a lock cabin fire place included. It reminded me a bit of the place where John Candy ate in The Great Outdoors.

Anyway I just can't wait to go back because there is so much on the menu I want to try. I ended up getting the Georgia Chopped Pork Sandwitch. Which was proked hickory smoked and slathered in Rich & Sassy BBQ sauce. Man was that good!

My 2nd choice (which I plan to try next time) another sandwitch was the Texas Manhandler which was Texas Beef and Zesty Hot link susage sliced thin and piled high, topped with hell fire pickle chips.

Liza got the platted that had Ribs and Chicken and it was damn good.

Now looking at their webpage it appears that two locations are opening up soon in Philly and one in Cherry Hill. But, why wait? I am looking forward to getting a group together of anyone who wants to go its really not that far a drive. Maybe 20-30 mins from Jennas if that is a good reference point.

The have a thing called the All-American BBQ Feast which serves 4 or 5 people. We saw a family get this order and its more than enough food. Here is what it includes.

A full slab of Spare Ribs, A whole Chicken, a half pound of either beef brisket or chopped pork. Coleslaw, Famous Fries, Wilbur Beans (Jay can't have those) Corn on the Cob, and Corn Bread. All for $52.99. Thats pretty damn good if you split that four or five ways.

On top of that there are five different sauces on the table. Including one called Devil's Spit. Being messy and over eating is highly encouraged at this place.

This post will kick off a new feature on my blog telling people good places to eat in South Jersey. Since, well most my friends love food.


Info
Famous Daves
4215 Black Horse Pike
(609)569-9910.

Its roughly 5 miles or so past the intersection of Route 50 and the Black Horse Pike. It will be on the left hand side going TOWARDS Atlantic City, so you might have to U-Turn around. Taking the Atlantic City Express way your best bet might be to take the Hamilton Mall exit,but im not quite sure where that will dump you in reference to the place.

Also Route 73 is a good way to go. Since it ends at the Black Horese Pike (Route 322). Then just stay on there for awhile. Past 50 for a few. Then your there!

Go on your own and let me know what you thought.

Or let me know when you want to go!

Hi, As part of some work I'm doing for a client, I need to talk to people who are interested in fishing and who often search the web for related information. The research is mostly based around keyword ('fishing knots' for example) selection. I've contacted people using fishing knots but I need to contact more. Can you suggest where else to look?
TIA
