FAQs about the Famous Dave’s Menu
Famous Dave’s is renowned for serving up classic American barbecue. As a result, the core menu items are fairly consistent. Still there are a few items that have been discontinued at Famous Dave’s over the years.
Nashville Hot Catfish Sandwich
The Nashville Hot Catfish Sandwich quickly became a fan favorite when it was first released as a limited item, but sadly it was not meant to last. After its discontinuation, fans of the sandwich were left feeling disappointed and longed for its return. This delicious sandwich consisted of a crispy catfish filet that was tossed in the popular Nashville Hot Sauce, drizzled with Rémoulade and finished off with Hell-Fire Pickles on a hoagie bun.
Smokin’ Shamrock Burger
The Smokin’ Shamrock Burger was one of the most beloved dishes on the menu for many years, until it was suddenly discontinued for unknown reasons. This burger included an all-beef patty and was covered with melted Swiss Cheese, Smoked Corned Beef, a generous helping of Sauerkraut, and a dollop of tangy Shamrock sauce.
It was served on a toasted bun with a side of Hell-fire Pickle Chips and a choice of side. The combination of flavors was truly something special and it’s no wonder why the Smokin’ Shamrock Burger was such a popular item on the menu. Monitor the Famous Dave’s social media accounts to find out if this menu item will make a temporary comeback around St. Patrick’s Day.
Oktoberfest Burger
The Oktoberfest Burger was a limited item that came out for a short period of time during the annual German celebration. The burger came with an interesting combination of ingredients, consisting of an all-beef patty that was seasoned to perfection and topped with homemade beer cheese sauce, homemade onion rings, and bacon bits, all on a pretzel bun. Unfortunately, it seems that it was too good to last, as it never made its way back onto the menu.

Porky Pine Burger
The Porky Pine Burger was comprised of a perfectly seasoned, all-beef patty, melted mozzarella cheese, sweet and tangy grilled pineapple, smoky Georgia chopped pork, and a delicious Apricot Bourbon BBQ sauce.
Unfortunately, it never quite caught on, and the reason for its discontinuation remains a mystery. It could have been that the combination of ingredients was too bold for some or that the flavor combination didn’t quite mesh.
Buffalo Chicken Salad Bowl
The Buffalo Chicken Salad Bowl was a real crowd-pleaser. It was a delicious combination of grilled or crispy chicken, fresh and crisp greens, Blue Cheese crumbles, flavorful house-smoked cheddar cheese, juicy tomatoes, and savory bacon. For those lucky enough to have tried it, the Buffalo Chicken Salad Bowl will always remain a fond meal memory.

The Man Handler
The Man Handler is the perfect sandwich for anyone in the mood for a delicious, handheld meal. It consists of two tasty options: Texas Beef Brisket or Georgia Chopped Pork, both piled high with Hot Link Sausage. The sandwich is served with your choice of one side, and the perfect finishing touch of spicy Hell-Fire Pickles. A side of french fries or coleslaw would make the ideal accompaniment to the Man Handler.
Burnt Ends
Burnt Ends or Burnt Buttz as it is known in some circles is a delectable appetizer that is served up at Famous Dave’s. It consists of tender pieces of Texas Beef Brisket that are seared and caramelized with a delicious Sweet & Zesty BBQ sauce.
To enhance the flavors even further, it is served with Onion Strings, jalapeño pickled red onions, and spicy Hell-Fire Pickles. This dish has become so popular that it is now considered one of the signature appetizers of Famous Dave’s. I’ve had it and this is one of my top picks.
Texas Beef Brisket
Texas Beef Brisket starts with a special blend of Dave’s secret spices and coarse black pepper, which are rubbed into the brisket. Then, the meat is slow-smoked over hickory wood giving it a delicious smoky flavor and tender texture. This sandwich is served with your choice of one side and spicy Hell-Fire Pickles.
Unfortunately, the rumors of secret menus at Famous Dave’s have been greatly exaggerated. Despite what some people may tell you, there are no secret items or combinations that can be ordered from the restaurant.
