Who's interested? Let's try Dave's World Famous Bar-B-Q this time -- located here on 7009 W. Broad [almost] at the corner of W. Broad and Glenside -- in old Shoney's restaurant building.

SCRATCH THE \"EMPTY LOT\" PARKING IDEA. A different parking suggestion...and accessing Famous Dave's if you're heading westbound on Broad Street

Okay, we *could* park in that vacant building I'd mentioned...however, I stopped by Famous Dave's during lunch to book us an area for 6pm seating and a couple things became apparent:

• When [if] heading westbound on Broad Street to access Famous Dave's (which is on the eastbound side of Broad Street)... After you have crossed over Glenside, you may turn left at the light directly in front of West Broad Honda.
  
• While you *can* make a left hand turn at that light, you cannot make a U-Turn at that light (well, you can if you'd like to consider a ticket I suppose).
  
• So, turn left and then seek signs at a next left again (signs for TGIFridays, Famous Dave's, and a Best Western). Turn left at *either* of the side-by-side left entrances and you'll be fine. This approach will bring you into the rear of TGIFridays as well as Famous Dave's.
  
• Whereas I previously suggested that we park in that vacant building, it became apparent today that there is a HUGE amount of parking in the back of TGIFridays (which is before, and directly beside, Famous Dave's)... As such, I am instead suggesting that folks park at the rear of TGIFriday's and our cars should fare unmolested.

Hey cool , they have a Double-Smoked Ham Sandwich and stack fries

I can make it

 

Well...maybe..... I'll try to make it too..... of course I'll be needing new tires by then.

 

sorry kids... i have to go to harrisonburg for work...

 

I'll have to let you know next week.
That is the night before I leave on vacation. The following day I drive to Fort Lauderdale (and you thought driving to the dragon was LONG).

I might need you guys to pump me up for that trip.
Count me as a 'I'll try really hard' for the moment.

 

If I'm not tearing out a gallbladder or appendix, I'll be there!

 

Mmmm...bring 'em along...we'll fry 'em up 'round back!

 

Hey Wing, can you post the whole address so I can mapquest it out and see how long of a drive we're talking??
-Larry

 

Sure...

Famous Dave's
7009 W Broad St
Richmond, VA 23229

I've driven up to Woodbridge during non-traffic times and I'd suspect you'd easily (gulp) be looking at ~ 1.5 hours if you were to attempt to drive down here. Not dissuading you...just letting you know for your consideration.

- Dave

 

I might come, this will allow me to meet the Richmond folks.
