Famous Dave's is reverting back to the classic days of barbecue. In an attempt to revitalize its brand and rejuvenate its customer's love of its food, the national barbecue chain is bringing back a number of classics.

Starting with the founder himself – Dave Anderson.

Last fall, "Famous" Dave Anderson announced his return to the barbecue chain. In a press release, Anderson said he was excited to revitalize the guest experience.

As part of that push, six customer favorite menu items are making a return.

Guests at Dave's can once again munch on BBQ chips or firecracker green beans before enjoying a brisket burger, grilled pineapple steak or Cajun chicken sandwich. Then, they finish their meal with the drunkin' apples.

In additional, for a limited time during the Lenten season, select Dave's locations have added shrimp tacos to the menu.

Along with returning menu items, Dave's is welcoming returning locations. Famous Dave's in Bloomington is celebrating its renewal.

To celebrate the exciting revisions, Anderson himself came out to visit the Bloomington location on Feb. 12.

Moving forward, Famous Dave's COO Abe Ruiz said customers can expect a renewed devotion to customer service.

Famous Dave's Bloomington is located at 5101 W. 98th Street in Bloomington. Returning menu items will be available at all Famous Dave's locations.
