Famous Dave's Legendary Pit Bar-B-Que(R) Opens New BBQ Shack in Eden Prairie, Minnesota
December 05 2011 - 10:30AM
Famous Dave's of America, Inc. (Nasdaq:DAVE) is pleased to announce
the grand opening of the new "Famous Dave's BBQ Shack," a fast
casual dining experience in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The
company-owned restaurant opens December 5, 2011. Conveniently
located at 590 Prairie Center Drive – adjacent to the Eden Prairie
Center Mall – the new BBQ Shack will offer the same great barbeque
as traditional Famous Dave's locations, but at a faster pace and
with some unique benefits.
"Our fast-casual concept offers Guests the same 'famous' food
Famous Dave's is known for but in a smaller footprint and with
quicker counter service for both dine-in and To Go orders," said
Christopher O'Donnell, president and CEO at Famous Dave's of
America, Inc. "Like our traditional restaurant locations, the
new BBQ Shack will offer hand-crafted meats that are smoked on the
premises and our delicious St. Louis-style ribs that are
flame-grilled-to-order. Guests will find a variety of our
award-winning dishes that reflect regional favorites from around
the country. Additionally, our founder, Famous Dave Anderson,
will use this location to try new menu ideas and to experiment with
new seasonings, sauces, and flavors. We know Eden Prairie is
going to love the benefits this new fast-casual Famous Dave's has
to offer."
Unlike traditional drive-thru windows, the Eden Prairie location
will include a convenient pick-up window designed specifically for
Guests who have pre-ordered their meals by phone. "We
understand that sometimes Guests are in a hurry, need to pick up a
quick dish for a party, or just want to get home quickly with a
delicious meal they can share with their family in the comfort of
their own home," continued O'Donnell. "The pick-up window is
our version of curb-side service as it will allow Guests to quickly
retrieve their pre-ordered BBQ without having to park and come
inside."
To celebrate the grand opening, the Eden Prairie team is hosting
a random drawing for free All-American BBQ Feasts for a year (one
each month from January through December) from the new Eden Prairie
BBQ Shack location. Guests are encouraged to fill out an entry
form at the restaurant and drop it in the entry box located inside
the new BBQ Shack between the opening day of December 5 and
December 31, 2011. The grand prize winner will be selected on
January 6.
Open Sunday through Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and
Friday and Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., guests can enjoy
both lunch and dinner in the 3200 square foot restaurant. Guests
can dine in or order To Go by calling 952-941-5849.
Famous Dave's offers a hearty roundup of award-winning ribs,
hickory smoked meats, and other BBQ favorites, such as St.
Louis-Style Ribs brushed with Rich & Sassy® Sauce, Texas Beef
Brisket, Georgia Chopped Pork, Country-Roasted Chicken, Wilbur
