Famous Dave's Grand Opening

Today Famous Dave's is opening up their first restaurant in Hawaii.  I was one of the lucky few who got to eat there on their pre-opening practice run this past Saturday.   We ordered the rib tips and fries appetizer, half slab pork ribs, chicken, and brisket.  I found the ribs were very salty but okay after slathering on the various BBQ sauces.  The brisket was sliced thin and   tender, but the best we all agreed was the rib tips and fries.  The potatoes were crunchy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside.   It wasn't The Salt Lick or Fat Matt's, but it wasn't all that bad.  Besides, there's nothing else in town.
