COSI

From our hand-tossed Signature Salad, to our Tomato, Basil, and Mozzarella Sandwich served on delicious warm flatbread, to the comfortable, urbane and contemporary atmosphere—Così is simply good taste—a place where all elements combine to stimulate the senses and create a lasting impression. In just a few short years, Così has become a national sensation.

At the center of Così is our hearth, an open-flame stone oven prominently displayed in each restaurant. It’s designed to be reminiscent of a comfortable gathering place where people have met for centuries to enjoy good food and conversation. Our signature flatbread is based on a two millennia-old recipe, similar to the breads first produced by the Romans. Così’s sandwiches are made to order with fresh and flavorful ingredients nestled in our signature. But we’re not just about sandwiches. Our distinctive menu offerings also include a wide variety of salads tossed to order, pizzas, soups, bagels, unique gourmet beverages and desserts.

Our look and feel was first inspired by a small Parisian café—a warm inviting spot where people liked to go for coffee and enjoy a great sandwich. Così offers a premium convenience where you always feel welcome. You are surrounded by a sophisticated, modern and warm atmosphere. You can even take out or call in your order before
you arrive. With free WiFi access, it’s the perfect place to work while enjoying a relaxing meal. From humble beginnings in 1996, one restaurant has evolved across the United States.

FAMOUS DAVE'S "LEGENDARY PIT BAR-B-QUE"

Dave’s road to fame began with a strong hankerin’ for fine barbecue and an even stronger desire to make the finest slow-smoked barbecue that folks had ever tasted. On his quest, Dave visited rib shacks, roadside joints, every hole-in-the-wall or fancy-pants supper club he could, all in search of the most succulent meats, savory seasonings and lip smackin’ sauces around. After 25 years of tasting and cooking, Dave decided it was time to share. Just like that, the phenomenon known as Famous Dave’s was born.

Famous Dave’s Restaurants have consistently served the best barbecue in casual family-style dining establishments with a down-home atmosphere. Their quality is so good that the restaurants have received over 200 awards for the high quality food. Dave’s barbecue and restaurants have been showered with more awards than he has walls to hang ‘em on! Some of these include the best ribs, best restaurant, best music, best take-out, overall best barbecue, and plenty of other categories. Few restaurants in history have achieved as much recognition in a few short years as Famous Dave’s!

In addition to dining at the restaurant, Famous Dave’s offers a wonderful catering menu. They will customize a menu to fit your needs. The extensive catering menu includes choices of: Ribs, brisket, pork, BBQ chicken, plus lots of side dish favorites, and even some home-style desserts. Come on in tonight!
