Famous Daves is adequate BBQ which is consistent every time served. It may not be the best but guests know what they will get with every visit. I call them the Dennys of BBQ.
Most Mom & Pop restaurants have a problem with consistency and being able to hold product when slow or providing product when busy. Most have a good recipe and begin with a quality product but when challenged with the variables of day to day business seem to fold due to lack of planning and holding skills which effects profit and repeat customers.
Romys Ribs in Maricopa has a unique policy of only cooking as many as they feel they will sell and closing when all are sold which keeps his quality and consistency but tends to shy away new customers. There ribs are top notch when you can get them. Cheap rent is a must to make this work.
Joes has good flavor does a nice job holding cooked product. They have a large customer following allowing a faster turnover adding to their consistency as well as having a fun atmosphere. They seem to have strong management who understand the restaurant business. Fun, Fast & Tasty.
