Birthdays are celebrated by eating out and eating big in my family. \u00a0Brian’s birthday was the perfect excuse for us to try Famous Dave’s <\/a>in Tualatin.<\/p>\n

Yu-um. All 5 of us enjoyed the meal (a rare occasion with 3 very opinionated boys). \u00a0We all left over-stuffed with smiles on our faces. The brisket, BBQ chicken, chicken wings, rib tips and chicken strips all got a thumbs up. Ben was thrilled to get his corn on the cob, and the rest of us LOVED the corn-bread muffins. \u00a0I enjoyed the spicy baked beans (I was so stuffed I couldn’t even try my baby red mashed potatoes) and the fries were a favorite for Brian…especially dipped in the “Georgia Mustard.” I’ll have to say, that was some awesome sauce. It was great on my chicken. So was the Devil’s Spit and the Sweet and Zesty.<\/p>\n

With all that said, Famous Dave’s won’t be a place we frequent a lot. That’s just too much food and too much meat for a healthy lifestyle. Famous Dave’s does offer salads and such, but I can’t really see the point in that. It’s a semi-tacky place with pigs and chickens all over the decor, a roll of paper towels on the table and honky tonk blues playing in the background. One sign said, “If it walks or flies, we’ll BBQ it.” \u00a0That, with 3 boys, led to some fun dinner table discussion. Do frogs count? How about salamanders? How ’bout opossum? You get the idea.<\/p>\n

We had fun and a good meal. Famous Dave’s is great for a treat, and I think Brian really enjoyed his birthday dinner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
