    Default Brainerd rubes

    I see the NDSU alumni page lists the Boulder taphouse as having the bison games on TV. Does anyone else know of any other locations that have bison games on TV?

    Is the Boulder taphouse in the old Famous Dave's building? Looks like it from google maps.

    Dave is getting less and less famous all the time. They closed one here after 3 years.

    He is famous for sucky food.

    Back in 2002 the wife (girlfriend back then) and I used to enjoy the one in Minnetonka. We ate at the Baxter one once and it was not worth the money. Is the one in Fargo still open? If so how is it?

    Say what? I love Famous Daves. Good stuff...can't say I've had a bad item from them.

    As for the Boulder Taphouse, they do show games there...but not last weekend. The manager tried her best, but she was not skilled in the ways of teh xbox and interwebs...but she was easy on the eyes. We also ate there the night before...good selection of burgers & fries, amongst other options.

    I've been to the one in Hayward Wi back in 2000 it was really good (I think that is the "original" Famous Daves?) Fargo has been great/good for the most part but it seems to be a bit on a downward slide lately just haven't had the desire to go there like I use to? Don't know if that may be just a whole franchise wide thing or just Fargo. I haven't really been to any other famous dave's anywhere else than Fargo/Bismarck & Hayward WI.

    Pftt. I agree with Tranny. Never had a bad item. I've tried supposed great BBQ from other areas of the country and was not impressed.

    The original Famous Dave's in Hayward, WI burned down early this morning. Insert "burnt ends" joke here...
