I'm not sure if that would be the best location considering Famous Dave is only a few minutes away. Famous Dave's is pretty dead these days, from what I've seen. The few times I've been, the food has been hit or miss. I was actually at Bigg Smoak's out in Steinbach on Saturday and their food was amazing. They are also very connected to the local BBQ/Smoking community (running classes & holding competitions) so they have a decent following already. Whether or not that will translate to support for a second location is anyone's guess though.
May 9, 20223 yr comment_564618 I'll promote a friend's restaurant. At true North Square. Miss Browns. My friend owns it and yeah, solid place
May 9, 20223 yr Author comment_564619 I think I've had that once back in 2013, had their onion rings, but I may be thinking of a different business that was near the Hydro building

Famous Dave's from my experiences has degraded both in quality and quantity over the last three or so years. We've found the place to also be really quiet with only a few tables with people and the service has been really sub par. It is good however for catering, we've used them a few times for the kids birthday parties and it's always been a hit. I wonder if Bigg Smoak were to go closer to downtown that it could fill the void of Lovey's closing up shop? Back in the day Lovey's was almost always busy and had a tonne of people getting take out also. Either way the city needs more places for Brisket and Pulled Pork!

Rob’s food is prepared from scratch and smoked incredibly. Would be a loss for Steinbach if he leaves.
May 10, 20223 yr Author comment_564664 oh so it's speculation for now nothing is confirmed? well I don' know how much longer Famous Dave's would have left but maybe I should have a couple more goes...i really wish they didn't discontinue their crispy wedges
May 10, 20223 yr comment_564665 Agree on Famous Dave's. Food is not as good, portions are smaller, service is awful.

Pure speculation on my part but their current location has ample parking that allows them to hold BBQ competitions (as they did this weekend). The Tony Roma's location would also allow for this so I wonder if that's a reason for them looking at that spot. It would be harder to find that much room closer to downtown I suspect.

May 17, 20223 yr Author comment_565368 wait is moxie's going to be a part of the Shark Club next door?

Moxies and Shark Club have the same owners so I'm guessing when they say "join us", they are referring to other locations/restaurants owned by Northland Properties.
May 23, 20223 yr Author comment_566034 eh say what you will about Wayback, Five Guys, and Fat Burger they have a similar dining format but they do their own thing
